Their Pursuit of Wedded Bliss

Chapter 7 Running Across the Enemy

　　She was momentarily lost in her thoughts when the man gracefully raised his wrist and glanced at his diamond wristwatch. "Two minutes left!"

　　"Ah, Mr. Warner, good morning. I am Brenda Cullen, the Senior Haute Couture Designer of Elvery Fashion Company. Our parent company is in France..."

　　Butch Warner exuded an overbearing aura that created an oppressive atmosphere. Anyone not psychologically strong enough would be unable to handle him.

　　Brenda was a bit off balance on the spot. She stuttered a bit and before she could finish speaking, he cut her off coldly, "All right, you can go!"

　　"Uh, Mr. Warner, wouldn't you like to take a look at my previous designs first?"

　　Brenda took out her portfolio, but Butch didn't even look at her. "I am very busy. I can sign ten-million dollars worth of orders every minute... Miss Wilson, see the guest off!" he ordered to his assistant.

　　Business is like a battlefield and he didn't want to waste any more time.

　　"Miss Cullen, this way please! Our president has another meeting scheduled now..."

　　Miss Wilson smiled politely in a dignified manner.

　　Only then did Brenda truly experience the man's aloofness. She had no choice but to retreat.

　　At that same moment Lily, standing tall on high heels, was at the front desk, looking alluring. "Good morning, I am the general manager of Rainbow Fashion Company. I have an appointment with your president today..."

　　As she turned around, she inadvertently saw a graceful silhouette emerging from the elevator.

　　The woman was wearing a white chiffon blouse matched with a champagne-colored long skirt. Her chestnut long hair was casually tied in a half-bun.

　　She was fair-skinned and had delicate features. Dressed in a fairy-like outfit, she looked beautiful and fashionable. Wherever she went, she would be the center of attention of the men around her.

　　"Well if it isn't Brenda Cullen," Lily murmured to herself.

　　After a long moment, she swiftly spun around and hurried to hide behind the wall at the other end of the hallway.

　　Years before, Lily had drugged Brenda and paid a couple of punks in a bar a lot of money to gang r**e Brenda to death... The hoodlums had told her that Brenda had been sold into p**********n in Thailand. She couldn't confirm it at that time, she could only presume it was true. She believed that Brenda had died abroad...

　　But now Brenda had reappeared. What's more, she had become beautiful and fashionable. Lily was dismayed and even more terrified. To confirm her own thoughts, she waited until Brenda's silhouette had faded away and then came out hurriedly to ask the receptionist, " Excuse me, who was that woman just now?"

　　"That was Brenda Cullen, a senior designer at the French Elvery Fashion Company. She's just been talking to the president about a collaboration."

　　"What?"

　　It was really her!

　　Lily suddenly didn't feel so well.

　　After leaving the Pinchon Group,

　　Brenda felt a little depressed. She had lost in her first battle! But she didn't want to give up easily. After all, Butch Warner was her first client.

　　If she couldn't handle him, her previous work would all have been for nothing.

　　She wouldn't keep her job at the French Elvery Company that she'd worked so hard for.

　　On the outskirts of the company's ground floor office was a small garden full of colorful blooming hydrangeas. She sat on a bench in the flower bed and started to ponder her next move.

　　At the same moment, Lily was standing at the top of the stairway on the sixth floor. After staring for a long time, she was now convinced that the woman sitting in the garden below was indeed Brenda.

　　With a flash of evil in her eyes, she grabbed the green bonsai on the balcony of the hallway and smashed it down...

　　A flower pot accidentally falling is a common occurrence. Even if Brenda was smashed to death, no one would suspect anything.
