Chapter 337 He Made Things Difficult for Them
Serena was worried when Leah was with Han. She wanted to go forward, but Ben dissuaded her again. Serena was worried when Leah was with Han. She wanted to go forward, but Ben dissuaded her again.
"You can't help her. They have to settle the matter between them. It's fine if she doesn't know about Alfred's death. But..."
In the end, Serena did not go to Leah but went to the convenience store to buy some snacks and coffee. Then, she returned to the office to wait for Leah. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Since Leah was with Han, there should be no danger. After all, he was the one who rescued Leah on the day of Alfred's incident last time.
By the time Leah returned to the office, it was already an hour later. Her lips were pale and torn, and there were traces of bright red blood oozing.
Serena panicked and quickly stepped forward to help Leah sit on the sofa. "He kissed you forcibly? He went too far! I'll go hit him!"
Even though the gender gap between Serena and Han was big, she still wanted to help Leah.
Serena's concern made Leah feel better. She stopped Serena with a hoarse voice. "Don't go. Just forget it."
Leah's face was pale, and she looked more and more haggard. She seemed very tired.
Serena said, "Listen! Don't torture yourself anymore. Go to rest now. I can settle everything here alone."
Serena put away the coffee beans she was about to grind and made Leah a cup of warm milk. But Leah pushed the milk glass to Serena and forced a smile. "It's fine. I can continue the work."
After speaking, Leah began to grind coffee beans for brewing by herself.
While drinking a cup of hot coffee, Leah felt her physical and mental fatigue ease. She stretched out to rub her temples, picked up the tablet, and revised the sketch again.
"Serena, you can go to rest whenever you are tired. I have specially prepared two lounges with beds and bathrooms here..."
Seeing that Leah still cared about her in this state, Serena shook her head. "Let's finish the modification quickly and rest early."
At the same time, Shawn, who returned home on the other side, received a report from his subordinates.
The bodyguard leader sent a message, "Boss, Han was going to grab Carlotta tonight, but we successfully stopped him."
When Shawn saw that message, his eyes were suddenly stern. He smiled coldly.
Han, you caused Sarah to leave me, and now you want to grab Carlotta to make Sarah stay by your side! I won't allow this to happen!
Soon, Shawn sent a text message to the bodyguard leader, "Strengthen the protection. Tell Lucy to contact you if there is any movement. You must stop Han from taking Carlotta away!"
The bodyguard leader replied, "Yes, Boss!"
As if feeling it was not enough, Shawn began to think about other plans with a gloomy expression.
I must take Sarah back! For Sarah, I'll do whatever it takes!
The next morning. After many days of continuous rain, freshness filled the air. The sky was blue and clear.
Such rare fine weather made Leah feel better. After sending the revised design sketch to Mr. Harper before ten o'clock, Leah went to the terrace outside the office to bask in the sun.
Dream Designs was located on the side of the street close to the city center. It was an independent and slightly old three-floor residential building. As no one contracted the demolition, it stayed until now.
Under Leah's design, she completely redecorated the interior and exterior of the house. It presented an elegant and artistic atmosphere that echoed the cultural heritage of the ancient city.
When the autumn wind swept across, the leaves of the trees on the roadside rustled. The warm sun shone on Leah's body and made Leah feel tired.
Leah was very sleepy, but she drank too much coffee at night. It caused her to be in a chaotic state.
Serena was the same. She yawned and lay on the bed but could not fall asleep.
She simply got up and sat next to Leah. "Sarah, we prepared five more sketches last night. Mr. Harper should satisfy with one of them."
Leah nodded. "I hope so. Then, we can quickly finalize the design drawings!"
Buzz! Just as they were talking, Mr. Harper's call was coming.
After signaling Serena to stop talking, Leah quickly picked up the phone. "Hello."
Mr. Harper's voice sounded, "Hello, Ms. White. I've seen your modified sketches. Sorry, I'm not satisfied."
As Leah had turned on the loudspeaker, Serena heard Mr. Harper's voice. Both of them were stunned.
Looking at Serena, Leah replied to Mr. Harper solemnly, "Please take a closer look. We've prepared five proposals."
Serena's expression was a little cold. They were excellent designers. It was unusual if Mr. Harper rejected all the proposals. But Mr. Harper did not change his mind. "I've read all five proposals. I'm sorry to say that your level is poor. Let's cancel our cooperation. Please return the deposit to me."
It was rare for Leah to hear someone question her design, and she was a little stunned for a while.
However, after hearing that Mr. Harper wanted her to refund the deposit, Leah answered solemnly, "Mr. Harper, when you paid the deposit, we had already negotiated the contract. If you are unsatisfied with the proposals, you can ask us to change them, but the deposit is non-refundable. And it was only after ten minutes since we handed you the proposals. Did you read them thoroughly?"
Leah's expression gradually darkened after she said that.
Whether it was Serena or her, she believed in their design level. Mr. Harper's behavior of rejecting five sketches in ten minutes made her feel he made things difficult on purpose.
Mr. Harper was instantly angry when he heard that Leah could not refund the deposit.
"Your shabby design is inconsistent with what you advertised! It's your fault! Why don't you refund my deposit? I'm going to sue you!"
Without waiting for Leah to say anything, Serena impatiently grabbed the phone and shouted, "We are top designers! We don't have a design problem! Also, if you are dissatisfied, you can initiate judicial proceedings!"
Mr. Harper sneered. "Just wait for the lawyer's letter!"
After that, a busy tone came from the phone.
At this moment, even Serena was about to cry. She was dissatisfied with the result of one night's hard work in exchange for such a result.
Leah's eyes became reddish when she saw that Serena was depressed. She wanted to speak comforting words but stopped suddenly.
It was all caused by my misfortune. I can't even comfort myself. How can I comfort Serena?
"Sorry…" Leah apologized while sobbing. It was the only word she could say now.
"Sarah, I'll negotiate with Mr. Harper myself!" Serena suddenly held her pen with a stern look.
