Chapter 126
Lynn put down the egg in her hand, “What did I Forget?”
“Last night, you lost more than ten million dollars when playing cards, and you have made me so poor. Now I can only have porridge.”
The spoon in Lynn’s hand dropped on the plate with a tinkle.
What the hell!
“I lost more than ten million dollars while playing cards? Didn’t I get drunk last night?”
God, she went to play cards after being drunk. She didn’t think that it was something she could do.
Nathan smiled, “You still remember that you were drunk, Mrs. Warner. You really surprised me last night. but it’s not a big deal. In fact, ten million dollars is just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Warner. And I’m so happy that it is the first time to win a huge sum of money from Mr. Warner.”
The more Nathan talked, the more happy he felt. However Lynn was starving before, but now it was like a bolt from the blue, and she had no appetite at all.
Lynn guiltily glanced at the Benson’s bowl of porridge. He was expressionless and ate it calmly. He looked very bad. Lynn wondered wether he was speechless to her.
His food was really very light this morning. Lynn choked up and thought maybe the lost of those money really hurt him.
Didn’t The Warners has a lot of assets? Losing ten million dollars should not be fatal.
But now she was really heartbroken, and her heart was throbbing with guilt.
“Mrs. Warner, your food is so good, do you want to share it?”
Nathan suggested. He deliberately looked at Benson’s neat plate before asking. His meaning was obvious.
Lynn nodded and put the beef on Benson’s plate.
“Well, have this beef, I can’t have so much.”
Lynn didn’t know how to describe her feeling. The most embarrassing was that she had beef and Benson only had porridge after she lost Benson’s huge sums of money.
At the end, Lynn said sternly, “I won’t drink anymore.”
Benson picked up the chopsticks and returned the beef that Lynn gave to him. She had been hungry all night and she should have more.
“No need, don’t feel guilty about the money. For The Warners, it’s no worth mentioning at all.”
Lynn was stunned. Did he feel her guilt?
Nathan saw an acquaintance and got up with the plate, “There’s a friend over there, I’ll go over and say hello.”
After Nathan left, Lynn looked at Benson with a guilty conscience.
“Then why do you eat so vegetarian?”
It’s not his style.
Benson took out a box of anti-inflammatories from his pocket and placed it on the table.
“My throat is uncomfortable, and I’d better have something light.”
Lynn relieved after hearing it.
“I’ll make an IOU to you later, I’ll work hard to earn money, and return the money to you as soon as possible.”
After hearing this, Benson’s face became cold. She even thought of returning back the money, how could she regard their relationship like this?
But seeing Lynn’s guilty face and feeling that she didn’t have the mood to eat, his heart softened again.
“Okay, take your time to return the money. Just have your breakfast now.”
Hearing what Benson said, Lynn felt much more relieved. She vowed not to drink at random in the future. This ten million dollars was not a small debt and she needed to work hard for a while.
“You’re here to discuss cooperation with Mrs. Barton?” Perhaps because the guilty, Lynn started the conversation.
Benson nodded.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Congratulations. After achieving the cooperation, The Warner Group will grow stronger and stronger.”
It was unexpected that Lynn took the initiative to congratulate him.
“You have great confidence in The Warner Group and think our cooperation will be achieved for sure this time?”
Why did he say that? Lynn asked, “Did you encounter difficulties with this cooperation?”
Because Nancy couldn’t come, he couldn’t get Mrs. Barton’s favorite necklace for her. He was not completely sure about the agreement this time. But this time, he had always felt that there was something wrong. Nancy fainted suddenly but hadn’t been found anything wrong after being checked in the hospital.
But Nancy said that she felt lack of strength and her head was very dizzy that she was temporarily unable to do any work.
He couldn’t force her to come.
“Don’t be too confident before it’s settled.” “Huh?” Lynn was puzzled, and it seemed that they indeed encountered problems in this cooperation since even Benson was also uncertain.
But he didn’t tell her the problems he encountered, he must think it was not necessary to tell her.
Lynn just stopped being curious and ate the food in small bites.
Benson was full and leaned back in his chair. He thought about the jewelry design book Lynn kept in the bedroom.
“Where did you learn jewelry design?”
“In Yale University.”
After Lynn blurted out, she found a hint of surprise on Benson’s face. It seemed that he was surprised that she was admitted to the largest domestic jewelry school.
The jewelry design college in Yale University was the best college in the jewelry industry, and the admission requirement was abnormally high.
Lynn was speechless. Did she look like a underachiever? She even hadn’t tell him that she was the only student of the greatest jewelry designer Mr. Hill.
“Then have you ever designed a famous work?”
Lynn shook her head, and since she had been looked down upon in the first place, she didn’t want to explain more.
Benson wasn’t surprised this time, although at the birthday banquet, Texas Warner liked the brooch designed by Lynn, but it should be opportunistic.
She designed it with Texas Warner’s favorite flower, which was targeted to her hobby.
“If you want to continue your studies, you can come to the company and learn from your senior alumni in The Warner Group. You will make great progress and also will be able to meet Nancy, the idol you all admire in this industry”
Um? After learning about the university she went to, Benson thought she was qualified and wanted to give her a chance to continue her studies?
“Senior alumna Nancy is excellent. I know her. She is only two years senior to my grade. She has been the youngest and most famous domestic designer.”
Lynn nodded. Nancy had already shown her talent in jewelry design when she was still in university.
During school, she participated in many large-scale jewelry competitions, and won the crown every time. Now she was of great dignity and value.
Nancy was very famous in the jewelry industry. Her join in The Warner Group would make The Warner Group more competitive.
“So, will you come? There is no such exception for others. They have to go through many rounds of interviews with the chance of one out of ten thousand.”
Benson had been disapproved about what Lynn had done before. When she was working in the restaurant, she was tired and had no dignity.
His wife should have a decent job if she really didn’t like staying at home. She happened to have a background in designing jewelry.
Unexpectedly, Lynn shook her head after he offered her the good opportunity.
“No, you don’t know. I just can’t make any progress. I couldn’t study well even I could get into the jewelry department of The Warner Group. When I was admitted to Yale University, I got it by luck.”
Since Nancy had already worked in The Warner Group, Lynn wouldn’t work there. If two men ride on a horse, one must ride behind. It’s the eternal truth.
Even though her original intention was to join The Warner Group, the largest jewelry company in the country. Since The Warner Group recruited Nancy, she had gave up the idea.
It occurred to Lynn the scene of being wronged and splashed paint at school.
She knew it very well that Nancy wasn’t as good as she seemed.
