Chapter 19 Javen’s Gaze
Cassie had done a good job, so Javen handed her the proposal directly.
In the past two days, Doreen had been punished. When she encountered Cassie, she had run away quickly. However, looking at her gaze, Cassie felt like she was up to something.
By the coffee machine, Cassie accidentally bumped into Jacen. He blinked at her and raised his eyebrows, saying, “I heard that Javen punished Doreen for you. You’re really important to him.”
Hearing the slight sarcasm in his words, Cassie felt a little uncomfortable, but she still kept calm on the surface. “What’s wrong, Vice President Smith, are you envious? Do you blame me for stealing your brother’s favor?”
Jacen’s expression froze for a moment. “Miss Garsia sure likes to joke around.”
“Didn’t Vice President Smith make fun of me first? I’m just giving him a taste of his own medicine.” Cassie took the cup of coffee calmly.
She had never lost in a fight.
“Miss Garsia, you’re really interesting. No wonder that workaholic Javen treats you differently.” Jacen still had a smile on his face, but his words made people uncomfortable.
“Thank you, but Vice President Smith is a little too talkative.”
She was the first person to say that he was talkative. No one had ever talked to him like that, and this was the first time.
Jacen’s expression changed slightly when he heard this. “Alright, I won’t disturb your coffee time anymore.”
Jacen turned around and left with a cup of coffee in hand. Cassie looked at his back thoughtfully.
Cassie’s proposal was appreciated by the business partner. This quarter’s profit was good. The company here decided to hold a dinner party to celebrate the company’s development and prosperity.
Although he knew that Cassie was not as a country girl as they all thought, Javen still decided to take Cassie to buy a gown for the sake of the Smith Family’s reputation.
After experiencing the last time, Cassie directly chose her favorite clothes and threw them to Javen to pay the bill.
“Javen, I like this green one a lot, thank you for your help.”
Javen looked at the dark green wavy dress decorated with green pine stones. The style was bright and fresh. But he shook his head.
“This one suits you.”
He reached out and took out a wine-red dress from a row of clothes. The dress was designed in the shape of roses, and the bright diamonds were embedded obliquely on one side.
“Javen, if you hate me, then just say it. Why do you need me to wear such a slutty dress?”
Cassie had never worn anything in this color before. Her clothes had always been chill and simple.
When Javen heard her doubting his judgment, his gaze darkened slightly. “If I hated you, would I have brought you here to buy a gown?”
Cassie was in a better mood. Looking at Javen’s serious face, she said with interest, “So, you are choosing the dress seriously? Javen, do you like me? Otherwise, why do you care about me so much?”
“You think too much,” Javen said as he threw the clothes into her arms.
“How insensitive.”
Cassie shrugged and went into the changing room with her clothes.
A few minutes later, with a creak, the door was pushed open, and a wine-red figure slowly appeared.
Cassie put up her long hair to reveal her slender neck because it was easier for her to change. The charming red color made her beauty overwhelming.
Even though he had seen countless beauties before, Javen was still a bit stunned.
“Are you stunned?”
Cassie waved her hand in front of Javen with a sly smile on her face.
Javen retracted his gaze calmly and said in a flat voice, “I just think that it’s a little incredible that the designer of my company doesn’t even know how to pick clothes.”
These words were obviously mocking her for not knowing how to appreciate beauty.
Cassie rolled her eyes helplessly and said, “Why do you all have to be so mean?”
Javen looked back at her and asked in a confused voice, “What’s wrong? Did Jacen come to you?”
“It’s nothing. I just happened to meet and chat with him for a while. But you guys are all mean, which is really annoying.”
This description was inexplicably a little funny. Javen looked at her helpless expression and explained, “Jacen has always been like this. You’ll get used to it, so don’t mind it.”
“Then I will get this one. The party will start in half an hour, so we can’t waste time.”
“Yeah.”
When they returned to the company together, the entrance was already crowded with journalists.
Seeing the two of them appear together, the reporters surrounded them one after another.
“Excuse me, is the rumored love affair between the two true?”
“Are you a real couple?”
“Can the two of you give me a direct response?”
…
Javen’s cold eyes swept across the room, and everyone present stopped talking.
Taking advantage of this short gap, Javen entered the company with Cassie.
Although it was said to be a dinner party, it was still a small-scale business gathering. No matter where Javen went, he was the center of attention. There was always a group of people surrounding him to ask for experience.
Cassie sneaked to a rest area nearby and began to eat the snacks on the table.
Not long after she sat down, Doreen walked over gracefully. “Hey, isn’t this our female idol, Cassie? Why aren’t you with the President?”
Although it was a sarcastic expression on her face, the jealousy in her eyes could not be concealed.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Even this country girl had the chance to become the president’s fiancée, so why couldn’t Doreen Brown be the same?
“How has Miss Brown been doing since she lost her salary?” Cassie ignored her and asked casually.
Doreen’s face turned embarrassed at the thought of that matter. “Cassie, don’t be too happy just yet. Javen’s childhood sweetheart Kittie Tamah is the real daughter-in-law recognized by the Smith Family. You’re just an orphan. How are you worthy of marrying the president?”
Cassie smiled and shook her head. “I never said that I had to marry Javen. Moreover, if I am not worthy, are you?”
“You!”
“Everyone in the Smith Family is outstanding. Miss Brown, do you mean that everyone else in the Smith family is not outstanding?”
Cassie looked for loopholes in her words and accurately hit her, making her stutter and unable to speak.
Doreen knew that Cassie was good at fighting verbally, so she couldn’t be bothered to say anything else to her. When she thought of the plan later, she curled her lips coldly and said, “Don’t try anymore. I’m telling you, sooner or later, you will get out of the company!”
“I will still say the same thing, if Miss Brown has the ability, feel free to give it a try.” Cassie curled her lips.
Doreen couldn’t win against her, so she could only leave dejectedly.
The night’s highlight began. Javen stood on stage and announced the company’s performance in this quarter.
Suddenly, a disharmonious voice rang out from a corner.
“I think there’s something wrong with the business this quarter!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, and the surrounding environment instantly quieted down.
Javen moved his gaze over, and his expression was calm as he said with a mellow voice, “What do you want to say?”
Upon hearing the President’s question, Doreen immediately stood up.
“I report that Cassie plagiarized the business plan!”
