Catherine shook off his arm and went upstairs to the second floor, looking down at her assistants’ work.
This was a LOFT-style renovation, with her office and product display room on the second floor.
She looked down at Ben Shaming and Yan Jian, gripping her coffee cup tightly, a cold smile on her face.
The two people before her were obstacles between her and Jamie. One had been with Jamie for many years and didn’t pay her any mind, while the other was an unexpected intruder. It was too exhausting for her to handle both by herself, so she decided to create an opportunity for them to et.
Watching them fight amongst themselves, and then she would reap the benefits.
"Little Ben" was a nickna that Ben Shaming allowed only Jamie to use, and she deliberately introduced it to Yan Jian. One can imagine how it felt to hear this nickna from a detestable girl’s mouth every day. She wanted Ben Shaming to be troubled by this feeling and act sooner.
.
For the entire hour, while Yan Jian buried herself in work, she could still feel Ben Shaming’s gaze on her.
The Tang family’s innate intuition made it impossible for her to ignore. She restrained herself from looking back and instead searched her mory to see if she had ever seen this person before.
She didn’t encounter many French-speaking n, so she vaguely rembered a secretary around Jamie.
That secretary wasn’t Jamie’s permanent secretary, sotis in the office, sotis not. She mainly communicated with another nad Bry.
Only a few tis did she bump into this secretary, always in passing when she entered the office and he was leaving, just a subconscious glance as they brushed past each other.
She only rembered the man in the sa black suit, wearing black-frad glasses, his facial features mostly obscured by the glasses, making it hard to see his features clearly at a glance.
It was just those few passing opportunities when she greeted him, and his heavy French accent left an impression on her.
So when Yan Jian thought of this, she couldn’t help shaking her head.
Maybe she overthought it. Such a quiet and rigid secretary was quite different in temperant and appearance from the man before her. She must be mistaken.
.
Luckily Ben Shaming only stayed for an hour before leaving, allowing Yan Jian to breathe a little easier.
Going upstairs to show Catherine the design drafts, Catherine looked at her with a smile: "So, what do you think, does Ben fit our design philosophy?"
Yan Jian thought for a mont and then nodded sincerely: "He’s very good."
This series designed to accompany hunting boots, in Catherine and Yan Jian’s design philosophy, should be worn by a handso-faced man in an English-style rough tweed suit, paired with hunting boots, appearing on an old street in clear snow or light rain.
To match this philosophy, the model should naturally be of a cool color tone, with eyes as cold and profound as the London fog, and have restrained, even ascetic facial lines.
Ben Shaming undoubtedly fits their ideal Muse in their design philosophy.
Catherine smiled in satisfaction: "Then I’ll leave him to you. He’s good, but new to the industry, and not quite up to par with body language yet. Yan Jian, I’ll leave him to you, you’re the professional, teach him more."
Yan Jian thought and nodded: "Okay, I’ll do my best."
Yan Jian could never have anticipated that the arrival of Ben Shaming, and Catherine deliberately pushing her closer to him, were all traps laid around her.
.
In the following days, Jamie kept a close eye on developnts in Asia while carefully gathering the forces of the Ford family, George, and Huangfu Huazhang.
As George’s blood brother, he knew George’s nature better than Huangfu Huazhang. He understood that this ti it was George’s all-out gamble.
And although George wouldn’t stand a chance in a direct confrontation with Huangfu Huazhang, he had been pretending to be Huangfu Huazhang for six years, even mimicking his way of thinking, so he had a chance to find flaws in Huangfu Huazhang’s mindset.
Moreover, with Shi Nian and Tang Yanqing added to the mix, Huangfu Huazhang’s thoughts were already disrupted, giving George an additional chance of winning.
Since George was prepared to risk it all against Huangfu Huazhang, he had a chance to create a situation where the snipe and the clam would struggle, and he could benefit as a bystander.
So he, who previously had conflicts with George over company matters, turned to help his brother.
