Chapter 5 Not Now

Mia looked coldly at Tanya, who was jumping because of the hot coffee.

An awful feeling rose in her heart. So this was Yannick's taste in women? He would rather find a vain, stupid and vicious woman but wouldn't touch her.

Did he hate her so badly to trample on her dignity?

"Ahh! Mia Smith! You... You b*tch!"

Tanya was wearing a Chanel outfit that Yannick had bought for her today. The price of this outfit was equivalent to her one year's salary. She almost went crazy when she saw the coffee rolling from her collar to the hem and forming hideous lines.

"Watch your mouth."

Mia retorted, "I'm also surprised the design draft could be selected. But at the dinner last night, Mr. Holland discussed the design draft with me. I would love to see you try seducing Mr. Holland. Since you're the leader of the design team. Have you designed anything decent? If you don't have the ability to design, then do what you can! No one is stopping you from it."

Everyone in the company knew that Tanya had become the leader by relying on Mr. Johnson. What Mia said, "If you don't have the ability to design, then do what you can!" was like a slap on her face.

Tanya's face suddenly darkened. "You... Mia, you..."

"What are all of you doing here? Don't any of you need to work?"

Suddenly, a low and sharp voice interrupted the commotion.

Not sure when Yannick arrived at the design department

When Tanya saw Yannick, her eyes were full of tears and grievance. She ran to Yannick and took one of his hands.

"Mr... Mr. Johnson, you must judge this situation. I asked Mia why she didn't inform me about the Water Bay project at the Holland Group. Who knew she scolded me for having no real talent, did not deserve to be the leader, and poured coffee on me. You bought this set of clothes for me. It's my favourite..."

She bit her lips, and her eyes were slightly red. Her distraught state made her look even more pitiful.

Mia touched her forehead, and it seemed to be hotter than before.

She didn't wait for Yannick to say anything. No matter what, he wouldn't help her anyways. So she sat back, took the draft paper, and continued calculating.

"I'll buy you a new set after work."

Yannick's deep and gentle voice could be heard clearly.

However, Tanya didn't want to let Mia off easily. Yannick comforted her in a low voice, promised her something, and then coaxed her away.

After Tanya left, Yannick walked to Mia.

He tapped on her desk and said in a tone different from the gentleness just now. Instead, it was filled with impatience. "Mom asked us to go together tonight. Don't go home first."

"I have something to do tonight."

Mia refused without hesitation.

"What do you have to do?" Yannick frowned.

Mia stopped writing but didn't look up. "If there's nothing else, Mr. Johnson, please leave. I have something else to do, I won't send you off.

Yannick's expression was hideous. He glanced at Mia coldly, finally snorted and left.

"Up to you!"

After work, Tanya glammed herself up and left.

Mia looked at her leaving figure, and her gaze was cold.

After work, she continued to stay in the company to modify the drawings.

Then, she spent some time checking Chuck's personal information, including some of the real estate projects he used to be in charge of. She wanted to dig out some useful information. For example, what style of buildings would he prefer? So she could add some elements to her work.

Accidentally, she saw a short video about him.

The video was just recorded this morning.

Chuck was dressed in a black suit fitting his tall, straight figure. There was no extra expression on his handsome face. He crossed his legs in a casual posture. Even from the video, she could feel his unique aura.

The first part was a series of questions about the company's development. Later, the host smiled playfully and asked, "The last one is about Mr. Holland's personal life. Of course, I'm not the only one curious. All the unmarried women in front of the TV are dying to know this! Mr. Holland, do you have someone you like now?"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the scene's atmosphere suddenly quieted. Probably no one had expected that the host would ask such a question.

Everyone thought that Chuck wouldn't answer such a boring question.

However, he suddenly speak.

"Not now."

It was a weird answer. However, the host was only stunned momentarily and immediately reacted, asking excitedly, "That is to say, Mr. Holland already liked someone since a long time ago? Are you guys together now? From what I know, you're still single. So does this mean you have a secret crush, Mr. Holland?"

Chuck narrowed his eyes and didn't answer the question. However, everyone knew what the answer was.

How could a charming and rich man like Chuck have a crush on someone?

Mia closed the video and was also a little surprised.

Soon, this matter was forgotten, and she continued to modify the drawings. Tonight, she needed to go to the hotel to report the progress to the Holland Group. She couldn't just have fun at the dinner. This time, she must get the qualification!
