Chapter 53 Doubt​

“Good morning!” Ivan waved to her and smiled, “I came to you specially.”

“What’s up?” Violet took off her white coat and put it on her arm, asking suspiciously.

Ivan stood up straightly and walked towards her, “I have heard about what happened yesterday. I’m sorry to make you wronged.”

It turned out to be here to apologize.

Violet let go of her vigilance and waved her hand, “It’s all over. Director Murphy, you don’t have to worry about it.”

“No! It’s because of me anyway, or I will invite you…”

“No need.” Violet knew what he was going to say, so she interrupted him and refused.

Ivan looked at her for two seconds and then shrugged with regret, “Well, I still want to find an excuse to ask you out, but you didn’t even give me the chance to finish speaking.”

Violet smiled perfunctorily, but did not answer.

A gloomy look flashed across Ivan’s eyes, “Speaking of which, Stanley is also wrong. As the president, he can’t manage his staffs well. If I were the president, I would definitely not let such a thing happen…”

Listening to his derogation of Stanley, Violet couldn’t help but frowned. She felt a little uncomfortable. Her voice became a lot colder, “Director Murphy, you are wrong about this. The Murphy Group is so big and there are so many employees. Mr. Murphy is not the God. It is impossible to understand every employee thoroughly.”

“You spoke for him like this. Do you like him?” Suddenly, Ivan asked.

Violet was taken aback, and repeatedly shook her head to deny it, “How could it be possible!”

“Really? But I think you seem to speak for him very much.” Ivan squinted at her, as if to see her through.

Violet felt inexplicably guilty when she was staring at by him like this. Then she turned her head to the side, “Because Mr. Murphy is a nice boss.”

“Oh?…” Stanley raised his chin and said. Violet didn’t know if he believed it or not.

After a while, he suddenly laughed, “If this is the case, you must not be tempted by him. Otherwise, you will be very painful. Besides Phoebe, there is a more troublesome woman beside him.”

A more troublesome woman?

Violet blinked, and subconsciously asked, “Who?”

Ivan spread his hands with a smile, but didn’t mean to answer.

Violet then realized that she was too concerned about this. Then she quickly lowered her head and changed the topic, “Director Murphy, I have to leave first.”

“Don’t leave. Talk with me more.” Ivan pulled her back.

At the corner of the corridor not far away, Stanley looked at this scene with a gloomy expression on his face. He couldn’t help but clenched his fists.

A few seconds later, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Fraser followed him, “Mr. Murphy, we won’t go over?”

“No.” Stanley lowered his eyelids to cover the emotion in his eyes. Then he responded coldly, “There is no need to disturb them!”

Hearing this, Fraser couldn’t help but turned his head to glance at Violet who was pushed by Ivan on the wall. He was hesitated, “Mr. Murphy, do we have to cancel the management right of Violet to ‘Born of Fire’?”

“What do you mean?” Stanley stopped.

Fraser naturally stopped, “Because Violet has that kind of relationship with Ivan. Moreover, Ivan has never given up his ambition to get the Murphy Group. I am worried that he will let Violet do something to ruin ‘Born of Fire’. Then we…”

“Violet won’t do it!” Stanley interrupted him in a deep voice.

Fraser was a little puzzled, “Why are you so sure?”

Stanley pursed his lips and said faintly, “Once she really listens to Ivan and does something like that, first of all, Merced will not let her go. Not only will Merced publicly break the relationship between the teacher and the apprentice with Violet, he will also make her unable to stay in the fashion circle. She can’t bear the consequences!”

He could see that Violet was very professional, not the kind of person who would ruin her career for love.

“Well.” Fraser nodded relievedly.

Stanley threw the report to Fraser, “You will send someone to give this to her in a while and ask her to hand it in after she chooses models.”

“Yes!” Fraser hurriedly caught the declining report, wondering why Mr. Murphy didn’t let people send it over at the beginning. Mr. Murphy actually came here in person.

When they came here, he did not go to see Violet.

Why bother?

Fraser secretly sighed. When he returned to the top floor, he asked his assistant to send the report to Violet.

When Violet received the report after she got rid of Ivan.

She now felt more and more that Ivan was a lunatic. Not only did he take advantage of her, but also said that he liked her and wanted to pursue her. He didn’t even mind that she had two children. How could she believe him?

She was not blind. How could she not see the indifference in his eyes? Obviously, he was only approaching her with the excuse that he liked her.

Although she didn’t know what his purpose was, she must stay away from him!

Pursing her red lips, Violet took the report and walked to the design department. When she passed Phoebe’s office, she suddenly heard a voice from inside, “Don’t worry! Dad, Stanley doesn’t know yet. Last time he just wanted to help Violet out, so he said that. My mother was so shocked that she believed it.”

Um?

Phoebe was talking about her?

Violet couldn’t help but stopped.

In the office, Phoebe’s voice sounded again, “Yes, her two children are just time bombs. Stanley will know the truth sooner or later. We can hide it for a while, but we can’t hide it for a lifetime.”

Hearing this, Violet was shocked. The report in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

“Who is outside?” Hearing the sound, Phoebe’s face changed. She suddenly stood up from her seat.

Violet came to her senses. She quickly picked up the report and ran into the large office next door. Then she sat down, pretending that nothing had happened and tapping the keyboard.

Phoebe chased out with her mobile phone. Her voice couldn’t hide her panic. She questioned everyone, “Who have been out just now?”

“No one has gone out.” Everyone looked at each other and then answered.

Phoebe naturally wouldn’t believe it so easily. She squinted her eyes and looked at everyone’s face one by one, trying to see if anyone was lying.

However, after looking around, everyone’s faces were filled with doubts and confusion. She couldn’t see anything at all.

Could it be that she heard wrong?

Phoebe lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then turned and left.

After she left, Violet breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Phoebe just asked if anyone had gone out, not if anyone had come in. Otherwise, she would definitely be exposed

But what did Phoebe’s call mean? Why did Phoebe say that her two children were time bombs? Why did Phoebe link her two children with Stanley? Could it be that Stanley was the biological father of the two children?

How could this be?

Violet couldn’t help standing up. She clenched fists and was so fazed. She couldn’t calm down a bit until the phone rang.

“George.”

“What’s wrong with you?” George’s face showed a touch of tension when he heard the tremor in her voice.

Violet forced a smile, “I’m fine. Why did you call me suddenly?”

“I want to tell you that I will return in a few days, and I won’t leave anymore.” George said.

Violet really smiled now, “That’s great! If Jessie knows it, she must be very happy.”

George fell silent suddenly.

Violet realized that she had said something wrong. Then she patted her forehead annoyedly, “George, I…”

“Well, don’t you ask me why I won’t leave?” George interrupted her.
