“Sir, isn’t your girlfriend the director? Could it be that she is lying? And every time she presents those perfumes at meetings, they’re exactly the same as the ones Ophelia submitted. It was the director who told us that the perfumes in Ophelia’s hands were hers.”
“Could it be that the director is lying to us all along?”
Seeing that they were about to be kicked out of the company, at that moment, the men and women of the R&D department couldn’t care about anything else and directly questioned her in front of everyone.
In an instant, everyone present looked at her with eyes full of disdain.
Seeing this, Estelle hurried forward and grabbed Conrad’s sleeve, looking at him with tears welling up.
“Conrad, the R&D just misunderstood for a moment, but everything I said is true. You can prove it for me, right?”
A struggle flashed through Conrad’s eyes.
As the pleading in her eyes became more and more obvious, the guilt in the way he looked at me also grew heavier.
In the end, he directly pulled his hand back, leaving me lying there in front of everyone in utter embarrassment.
He didn’t even think for a moment that I was still pregnant.
Maybe he did think of it, but all of this still couldn’t compare to Estelle.
I thought this was already embarrassing enough.
But I didn’t expect her to still be unsatisfied. She sobbed, let go of Conrad’s sleeve, and said aggrievedly, “Conrad, after what happened today, I no longer have the face to stay here. Thank you for taking care of me before. I still can’t…”
As she spoke, large tears fell drop by drop.
Conrad instantly forgot everything else. He reached out, pulled her back, and held her tightly in his arms.
He patiently comforted her for a few words. Only after she completely calmed down did he look at the people from the R&D department.
“That’s definitely nonsense! Any perfume Estelle submitted was created by herself and has nothing to do with anyone else.”
He cast a seemingly casual glance at me from the corner of his eye, then said resolutely, “As for the relationship between Ophelia and me, that’s even more something you imagined. There’s nothing improper between us. Perhaps I did something inadequately that caused her to misunderstand.”
What he said was airtight. If I were just a shameless woman chasing after him, maybe I would have corrected myself from then on.
