Billionaire’s Great Obsession

On hearing this and recalling the ridiculous accusation in the news, Brianna said with determination, “I’d love to take the challenge.”

“Great.” Sally smiled.

“But I’m not sure I can give you a design you like.”

“I’m willing to take the risk.”

Then Scott added, “I will take the responsibility.” Brianna looked at him with gratitude.

“Thank you.” She said sincerely to both Sally and Scott.

Feeling supported, Brianna had much more confidence. She observed Sally’s attire and manner while dining and asked a few questions about her and her husband casually to get to know what they liked.

Before they parted, Sally handed Brianna a file with some documents related to the design of the pendant for reference.

Scott and Brianna went back to the office, and just as Brianna sat back down by her desk, Levi came over. He spoke quietly but seriously, “Mrs. Brianna Anderson, Streep Crystal is one of the four biggest companies in the jewelry industry. Mrs. Sally Streep is no doubt a very important client. Even Rare Gem has been trying to find a chance to cooperate with Streep Crystal. You should know what a significant opportunity you have now. If you can win her trust, the public will believe you, and you will be famous. Lots of big clients will come to you. Then, you won’t need to worry about the future of your career.”

“Right. I understand. I will do my best, and I’m very grateful for this opportunity.”

“Mr. Scott Anderson is helping you a lot, though he didn’t tell you so. I shall remind you that The Anderson Corporation, as well as Mr. Scott Anderson, does not tolerate disloyalty.” Levi added.

“I do not tolerate it either. Levi, don’t you worry.”

“Good. Now you know what you should not do.” Levi looked at Brianna into her eyes sternly as if looking for confirmation.

Brianna didn’t like his warning, or more exactly, threat. Though Levi was Scott’s most trusted assistant, she was, after all, Scott’s legal wife, and she didn’t deserve to be spoken to in this way.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Or could it be Scott’s idea? That Scott asked him to talk to me? Brianna thought, rather annoyed. She had always been an honest person, and every time Jameson tried to tempt her, she refused. Can he still not trust me? I don’t need them to warn me, to threaten me! Brianna found it humiliating.

And she was so bad at hiding her emotions and feelings. During the whole afternoon, she didn’t look pleased with all, even when she was in Scott’s office, giving him a massage treatment, making him tea, and that. She didn’t want to talk to him.

Scott was too busy to pay her any attention, working on the coming week’s plan and meeting.

Brianna thought he was annoyed with her, which made her more annoyed. When Scott finished his tea, Brianna took the cup and put it down loudly on the tray intentionally.

Scott frowned. “Alright?” He looked at Brianna and said impatiently.

Brianna pouted her lips, then said, “Scott, I’ve been with you for two months now. Have I ever been disloyal to you? Why did you have to warn me and threaten me?!”

“Huh?” Scott knitted his brows harder, then he turned to look at Levi, who was standing by him. Levi had probably not thought that what he said would upset Brianna so much.

“Mr. Scott Anderson, it was simply for the sake of the company and…” Levi explained.

Now Scott was glaring at Levi. Levi paused for a bit before he muttered on. “I was simply, err, being thoughtful, considering the fact that Jameson had, well, threatened Mrs. Brianna Anderson a few times. Also, I was worried that she might feel stressed reading about the news lately. And what Rare Gem has been doing to slander her. It’s possible that she would be used to…”

“What’s Reregem been doing? How would I be used?” Brianna asked anxiously.

“They are worried that when we go into the jewelry industry, we will take their place as the country’s No. 1 jewelry company,” Scott said plainly. “Anyway, it’s not what you should be worried about. All you need to do is focus on your design. Levi, I don’t want this to happen again. I’m the only one to tell her what she should or should not do. It’s none of your business. Also, she’s Mrs. Anderson, my legal wife, after all. You should respect her.”

“But, Mrs. Brianna Anderson is the only woman that can get close to you. I believe that, apart from Jameson and Rare Gem, many other competitors will possibly have the same thought of using her to…”

Brianna stared at Levi worriedly.

“Brianna, you don’t need to worry much.” Scott interrupted. “As long as you keep your design safe and watch out for those that get too close to you, it will be fine.” He said casually.

“It’s The Anderson Corporation’s client that I’m designing for, so of course I will keep it safe and…”Brianna said, and suddenly she realized what they had been implying. “Are you worried that I would give away my design to other companies?”

“Will you?”

“Of course not,” Brianna said without hesitation. “Either as your employee or your wife, I will not do anything disloyal to you and the company.”

She had realized how much Scott trusted her and what a great chance he had offered her. The Anderson Corporation had incredible and experienced designers, but Scott had assigned her as the designer instead despite the concern that she might disclose classified information about the company. And during the meeting with the client, he also said that he would take all the responsibility.

No wonder Levi was worried and had to warn me. Brianna thought and now felt a bit guilty for blaming Levi. “I’m sorry, Levi. I should have been more understanding. Please know that as long as I’m hired, I stay loyal to whom I work for and to whom I am married.” She said sincerely.

Despite Brianna’s sincerity, Scott looked displeased and walked out of the office.
