Chapter 33: Chapter 33 How are you here?
"Evelyn Curtis had run into Brian White at Litchlodge.
But that was the only time she had ever seen him.
She knew that Brian was Justin Battleson’s competent secretary, holding a position similar to that of Jones George.
Looking at this, it seemed that Justin Battleson still cared about her.
Otherwise, he would not have taken her request to heart.
"Justin, I’m sorry. I should’ve asked for your preferences, I was being unreasonable earlier." Evelyn Curtis’s teary doe eyes, full of innocent regret.
"You can contact Jones George or Brian White for anything... they can handle matters on my behalf."
Justin Battleson’s dark eyes dimmed slightly, his cold voice adding: "I’m very busy."
"Alright, I won’t bother you then." Evelyn Curtis gritted her teeth, feeling upset internally but unable to express it.
She quickly packed the few thermal containers, picked up the bag and headed towards the door.
She reached for the doorknob, hoping Justin would say "goodbye", but it was wishful thinking.
Stealing one last glance, she saw Justin Battleson solemnly engrossed in reviewing documents, his eyes showing no signs of reluctance to let her go.
Evelyn Curtis sighed inwardly. She dared not to occupy any more of his time and opted to leave.
As she rode down the elevator, she couldn’t help but stamp her foot in irritation.
What a wasted effort today!
Not only did she fail to please Justin, but she had also ended up irritating him.
Yet, there was one consolation: she was finally about to enter the entertainment industry.
Despite its ill repute, with Justin Battleon’s backing, she was sure to quickly emerge a shining star in the industry.
With that, she could earn not only fame and success but also the rightful place by Justin’s side.
Just as she was contemplating this bright future, the elevator door slowly opened with a ding.
It was noon. The company’s entrance was crowded with employees from Riley Group.
Evelyn Curtis held her head high, walked out of the elevator with confidence.
The male employees who saw the pretty woman were attracted by Evelyn’s charisma. Immediately, they moved aside for her.
Evelyn was elated, but the next second, she abruptly froze in her tracks.
It was as if her blood had instantly congealed in her veins.
Her beautiful face turned deathly pale.
In the crowd behind, a lovely face came into her sight.
If this face turned to ashes, Evelyn would still recognize it.
If it wasn’t Sophie Allen, then who else could it be?
Why was Sophie Allen at the Riley Group?
"Charlotte, why are you here?"
Evelyn Curtis’s face was ever-changing, she grabbed Sophie’s wrist and shifted her towards the main door of Riley Group, dragging her out.
She had just barely recovered from the shock when Evelyn let go of her hand.
"Evelyn, why are you here too?"
Sophie Allen had just eaten a bowl of noodles at a nearby restaurant and was planning to return and continue working on the fragrance.
She wanted to finish the perfume as soon as possible. To present it to Justin before Aunt Watson’s surgery in exchange for the deal.
While she was standing in the elevator, daydreaming, she hadn’t anticipated that a woman wearing sunglasses would suddenly grab her hand.
It’s only after she spoke that Sophie recognized her as Evelyn Curtis.
"You haven’t answered me yet. What are you doing here?" Seeing Sophie not responding, Evelyn Curtis questioned anxiously.
She was extremely anxious!
Had Sophie Allen discovered Justin Battleson’s identity already, and thus come here to find Justin?
This absolutely cannot happen!
"I’m developing fragrances here." Sophie Allen looked at the woman in front of her with some confusion.
Why did it seem that Evelyn was rather frightened by her presence?
"Creating fragrances?" Evelyn Curtis was surprised. Underneath it all, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Sophie Allen nodded, "Yes."
"Evelyn, what about you?"
Evelyn Curtis didn’t dare to answer, she planned to probe more about Sophie’s situation first.
"Charlotte, you’ve not graduated yet, how can you qualify to work at Riley Group as a perfume developer?"
