Chapter 48: Strangers
Cecilia Glendon’s hand froze in the air and she looked at Abbott Benson with some dismay: “Mr. Benson … If I don’t look at it, how do I know which parts of you don’t fit?”
Abbott Benson sneered and said, “You are not called the most powerful designer in Greenwich, how, can’t even see it? How dare you claim to be the best?”
Instead of saying that Abbott Benson is not nice, he is now looking for trouble.
Cecilia Glendon sank a breath, her face was not good: “Mr. Benson, the title of the most powerful is not something I added myself, moreover, even a master of my master’s level needs to follow the process step by step. The wedding is coming up, Mr. Benson, please cooperate with me.”
Abbott Benson snorted, “What if I don’t cooperate? What can you do to me?”
Cecilia Glendon’s breath was stuck in her chest, and she was very uncomfortable. She had been talking to him this morning, and he had helped her put the band-aid on her finger.
Cecilia Glendon’s eyes grew red with anger.
“Abbott, don’t give Miss Glendon a hard time, it’s our engagement day in two days.” Jamie Hall spoke up and gently took Abbott Benson’s arm, “Just for my sake, cooperate with Miss Glendon, can’t you?”
If it was before, Abbott Benson would have shaken off Jamie Hall’s hand, but today, looking at Cecilia Glendon in front of him, and then thinking about what she just said, Abbott Benson heart is a surge of anger up.
For the first time in his life, Abbott Benson was disliked in this way, and Cecilia Glendon had no right to dislike him. He didn’t even say anything about her!
“Hurry up with the inspection, I’ve got work to do.” Abbott Benson said to Cecilia Glendon in a condescending tone.
Cecilia Glendon clenched her lower lip and didn’t look at Abbott Benson again. She simply checked his body for those things that didn’t fit, and then compared his measurements in her mind to know where to change.
“Please change out of the clothes, I’ll take them back to the studio for alterations, and I’ll resend the altered clothes tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Jamie Hall replied with a smile, then pulled Abbott Benson upstairs.
What was unexpected was that he didn’t shake Jamie Hall off, and actually followed her upstairs.
Mrs. Hall looked at the back of the two, the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile of relief: “Although Abbott’s temper is a little worse, but for Jamie is quite good. The children they have after they get married, ah, must be very good.”
Cecilia Glendon did not answer Mrs. Hall’s words, but turned her head to pack her things, so she did not see Mrs. Hall’s smug look behind her.
After getting her clothes in the car, Cecilia Glendon drove straight back to the studio, as if she was afraid that Abbott Benson would catch up with her, she drove very fast, sort of speeding, and when she got back to the studio she saw Hedy Clark’s crying face.
“Sister Cecilia Glendon, what did you do out in my car?”
“What’s wrong?” Cecilia Glendon was not in a good mood, and after bringing her clothes in and hanging them up, she asked Hedy Clark with no expression.
“I just got a text message saying that I’m going to be fined for speeding.” Hedy Clark grimaced, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah.” Cecilia Glendon powerlessly shook her head, “how much fine to the finance department to report, the end of the month will be sent to you together with the salary, by the way, Mr. Benson’s clothes need to be changed, how to change I have written on the paper, you change it and send it tomorrow.”
After saying that, Cecilia Glendon did not wait for Hedy Clark’s reply and went straight back to her office, locking the door behind her.
She collapsed into her chair, thinking about the way Abbott Benson had treated her at Hall’s house.
The two of them are now complete strangers, although this is what she had always wanted before, but in this way, she had a lump in her heart after all.
I thought Jamie Hall’s character was simple and soft, but I didn’t expect that the bones are actually this kind of calculating people.
But the most powerful still belongs to Mrs. Hall, she is more powerful than those people Cecilia Glendon met.
Three words can evoke Cecilia Glendon’s anger, but also control the timing so that she said the words exactly when Abbott Benson when they came downstairs.
This shows that Jamie Hall must have known that the person on the news that day was her.
Jamie Hall didn’t break the news, but just let her own mother use this way to completely kill her thoughts, which is also really clever.
Cecilia Glendon has a headache covering her face, how she feels her next days are a bit difficult ah.
The key is that Abbott Benson still lives across the street, this head does not see the head, how to get along ah?
This matter troubled Cecilia Glendon all afternoon. She wanted to go straight home after work to rest, but when she went downstairs to take a taxi, she remembered that today was a holiday and she had to go to the Brown.
She slapped her face to clear her head.
Since she was going to the Brown, she couldn’t let Gail Brown see her in a bad light.
But going to the Brown, she was sure to run into Frank Brown again, and she was a bit overwhelmed.
…
When she arrived at the Brown, Cecilia Glendon saw Frank Brown and Gail Brown standing outside chatting as soon as she got out of the car.
Gail Brown was the most sharp-eyed, and as soon as she saw her, she rushed over with wide eyes: “Cecilia Glendon, what are you doing in my house?
“Cecilia, you’re back.” Frank Brown’s attitude was different from Gail Brown’s, and his face lifted with a delighted smile.
“Brother, why are you being so nice to her?” Gail Brown shouted at her brother.
Cecilia Glendon ignored both of them and simply crossed over to them and walked inside.
Gail Brown was furious that she was being ignored and took a big step in front of Cecilia Glendon, “Stop, this is my house, you can’t go in there!”
Cecilia Glendon looked at her and smiled when she saw her swollen face, “Gail Brown, please go and swell your face first, don’t stand in front of me swollen like a pig’s head, I can hardly recognize you.”
“You! Cecilia Glendon! How dare you call me a pig!” Gail Brown was so angry that she shouted, “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!”
“Gail!” Frank Brown saw Gail Brown lunged towards Cecilia Glendon, and hastily stopped her at the waist, “What are you doing?”
“She called me a pig, brother, didn’t you hear me!” Gail BrownTaylor teeth and claws trying to Cecilia Glendon that Taylor face are scratched.
Cecilia Glendon, on the other hand, smiled lightly and then walked around the siblings towards the inside.
“Cecilia .”
Cecilia Glendon just walked in and saw Cecilia Glendon’s mother standing in the foyer, “There you are.”
Cecilia Glendon’s mother was dressed up even at home, with beautiful features on her pretty face, and standing together with Cecilia Glendon, she said she was a sister.
“Yeah, it’s Cecilia back.” Allen Brown heard the commotion outside and came over from the living room, smiling at the sight of Cecilia Glendon, “Don’t stand there, come in and sit down.”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Uncle Brown.” Cecilia Glendon nodded her head and called out politely.
If there was one person in the whole the Brown that Cecilia Glendon didn’t want to hate the most, it would be Allen Brown.
