Second Marriage

Chapter 402 Darkness

Rachel didn’t say anything after she heard what Noah said to her.

When they had a meeting that day, Alice did tell the shortcomings of their design drafts very accurately.

“It couldn’t prove that she has her own skills. We have been in this industry for many years. If she

wants to know our shortcomings, she can ask someone to find out our works. Money works, doesn’t

it?”

“Yes, money does work in this world.” Noah looked back at Rachel with a smile and said, “Just like you,

you hate her very much, but you stay here for the money.”

Rachel was embarrassed by his word.

She felt very humiliated.

Winnie sneered and Chloe also chuckled after they heard Noah’s words.

Ada, who was beside Rachel, snorted with disdain, “I’ve told you that if you feel uncomfortable here,

you can leave the company. But you don’t leave. It turns out that you stay here for the money.”

“I…” Rachel was so angry that she couldn’t speak. and she became irascible.

Everyone just ignored her. Rachel pinched her hand at the edge of the corner of the table and bit her

lips with anger.

‘Bitch! Just wait and see!’

“Even if you had a kid with Zain, you are not his wife and just a mistress. You will be dumped by Zain.’

Rachel said in her mind.

Zain...

Rachel’s eyes suddenly became sharp when she thought of Zain.

In the conference room

Before Alice went into the room, she took Jack to find Yanis and asked her to take good care of him.

But Yanis planned to shut Jack in the office.

“Your mommy got her hands injured, so I have to help her. Just stay in the office by yourself, okay?”

Jack shook his head and replied, “Okay. But Yanis, I think I can sit in on the meeting.”

“To sit in on the meeting?”

“Yes, Yanis. I will be obedient and won’t speak anything in the meeting.”

“Well, you…”

Jack walked forward and held her arm. He begged, “Yanis, I can send my uncle’s photo to you.”

Hearing his words, Yanis suddenly straightened up and looked upright.

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand it.”

“It’s my uncle’s private photos. It not like the photos on the magazines and reports.”

Private photos …

Yanis began to fantasize about Zain sitting on the sofa in casual clothes and trousers under the light of

the desk lamp at night. She was touched and her mind rippled.

“Yanis, how do you think about my exchange?”

“Deal!”

She promised Jack for Zain’s photos this time.

She could decide to let Jack sit in on the meeting

Finally, Yanis brought Jack into the conference room, and let him sit in the back position. Jack didn’t

reject her. He sat on a high chair with satisfaction and his legs kept swinging under the table.

When others walked into the conference room, they couldn’t help looking at Jack.

When Winnie passed by him, she suddenly stopped, took out candy from her pocket, and handed it to

Jack.

Seeing the candy, Jack’s eyes lit up. But he didn’t take the candy.

He said with a sweet smile, “Thank you, Miss. But my mommy has told me that I can’t eat too many

candies, otherwise, it is bad to my teeth.”

After that, Winnie turned to look at Alice, who was looking at Jack gently. Her eyes didn’t change when

she met Winnie’s eyes.

Alice didn’t change her expression and looked normal. But Winnie was awkward. She looked away and

then said, “You mommy has lied to you. Avoids. It doesn’t matter if you eat the candy occasionally.”

Jack paused. In fact, what Alice had told him was that he couldn’t eat anything from the strangers.”

Then Jack looked at Alice.

She nodded at him with a smile. Jack stretched out his hands to Winnie.

For ordinary children, even if they like candies, when adults handed them to them, they would always

grab them with their fingers. Because they were children, all their movements were innocent and pure.

But Jack used his hands to take the candy, which stunned Winnie.

“Thank you, Miss. I like you very much.”

Winne was stunned for a while before she came to her senses. Then she quickly put the candy into his

hands.

“You’re welcome. If you like it, I will bring it to you next time.”

When Winnie sat down in her seat, she looked at Jack with surprise.

This little boy was well-educated.

All of a sudden, Winnie looked at Alice. Regardless of her designing skills, at least she was good at

teaching children. Now she knew why Alice could still keep calm when they complained to her.

Other members came to the conference room. When they entered, they looked at Jack.

Rachel didn’t dare to say anything because she was scolded by Jack before. For fear that Jack would

say to her and embarrass her again.

“It seems that everyone is here. Now let me check the works that you did last night.”

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a thin man came into the

room.

They looked at the door when they heard the sound.

It was Hugo. He looked cold and aloof in the light.

“Hugo!” As soon as Chloe saw him, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then got up and walked towards him.

But he ignored her and went straight to Alice.

Alice looked at Hugo calmly.

He was wearing a clean shirt on his thin body. His face and lips were pale. But he still looked

handsome and attractive.

However, his eyes were as cold as the ice.

His eyes made Alice suddenly remember a man in her memory.

When she paused, Hugo had come to her and looked at her coldly.

Chloe followed him nervously. She wanted to pull his sleeves, but she didn’t dare to do so. She just

looked and asked, “Hugo, what’s wrong with you?”

Alice was still very calm. When he looked at her, she looked up at him.

“What’s the matter?”

His pale lips moved and he suddenly put a notebook on the table.

Alice glanced at it and took it. She asked, “Is this your design draft?”

Then she looked through the notebook and said, “Please find your seat to sit.”

Hugo looked at her with complicated eyes, but finally, he didn’t say anything. He turned and returned to

his seat, and Chloe followed him to her seat.

Alice opened the draft and took a look at it. But her face stiffened when she saw it.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Hugo. It was not her illusion. The style of Hugo’s

design works was of darkness.
