Chapter 907 A Pleasant Partnership
Elizabeth shook her head, not pinning the blon Derek. “What you said was true, Mr. Ramsey. I haven’t fully recovered from
my injury. I apologize for being unprofessional.”
Jwas right. Elizabeth planned on taking her advice and seeing a doctor for other options for treatment. If she wanted to
continue being a designer, she had to deal with her hand tremors first.
Wilder quickly answered for Derek. “Please don’t take it to heart, Miss Perry. Derek has reflected deeply upon his words and
actions. We believe that you are capable of completing this project.”
After Jstormed out of the room, Derek looked through the project files with careful attention. It was clear that the designs
were the work of a perfectionist. Elizabeth made sure that nothing was out of place.
“I’ve never seen anything like it before. Your ideas are unique and I like them.” After his perusal, Derek had nothing more to say.
He found nothing lacking with the plans, so there was no need to change the designer. Elizabeth hesitated, “But my injury...”
interview is still four months away. We have plenty of time.”
“Mr. Ramsey is a valuable client. We can’t risk a project of this importance over something that has no guarantee,” Elizabeth
reasoned, still unconvinced.
“The more I listen to you, the more ridiculous you sound. Have you forgotten? I’m your partner. There’s no way we would fail.”
Jheld Elizabeth’s arm and winked at her playfully.
Elizabeth was deeply touched. Jbelieved in her so much. She was pushing Elizabeth forward, at a twhen her
confidence was wavering. “Alright. You win, Janet.”
With a helpless smile, Elizabeth finally agreed, “I look forward to this partnership.”
Derek reached out a hand towards Elizabeth. She shook his hand, her determination steadily finding itself. The deal was finally
closed.
“Great! Whew. Haha...” At last, Wilder was able to let out a sigh of relief. “Now that the partnership has been decided, Derek and
I will go ahead. He has a shoot for an advertisement scheduled tonight.”
“I’ll walk you out,” Jsaid as she looked at Derek. Together, the three walked out of W Marks.
apologize to Janet. “I was too harsh earlier. I’m sorry. I’ve had everything go my way since I was young, so I’m not used to not
getting what I want. I can be arrogant sometimes, but I’m trying to change that. Wilder doesn’t letget away with it, and I’ve
gotten better at handling myself, especially after entering the modeling industry. But I guess old habits still slip out sometimes.”
“It’s fine. It was just a small misunderstanding. It’s not a big deal.” Jaccepted his apology, and then reminded Derek, “I’m
married, Derek. We should keep an appropriate distance from each other. It wouldn’t be good for your reputation, either. You
have a career to protect.”
No matter which way they looked at it, it would do neither of them any good. Jhad just solved the rumors about her and
Draco. She knew how troublesbeing embroiled in gossip could be. The last thing she needed was another one with Derek.
She didn’t even want to imagine how Brandon would react.
However, Derek wasn’t particularly fazed. He had lived abroad and was more liberal about many things. He was no stranger to
dating multiple girls at the stime.
Besides, the scandal between Jand Draco had caused quite a stir. Even after it had been straightened out, Derek still didn’t
buy that the rumors cfrom nothing.
“So you’ll have an affair with Draco but not me?” Derek looked sideways, bending down and staring at Janet. She grew more
beautiful the longer he looked at her.
Before she could speak, he cclose and whispered, his breath fanning her ear, “I like you a lot, Janet.” Derek’s eyes were
dark with desire as he continued, “Don’t worry. Wilder knows how to handle secrets. No one will know about the two of us.”
