BOGUS BILLIONAIRE - season 2 Episode 86

Caroline was called to the conference room the moment she arrived at the company.

Everyone in the conference wore a stern expression.

But when they saw Caroline, their eyes focused on her intently for a few seconds.

Especially Vivian’s.

There was a look of unbridled mockery in her eyes.

Jules said to Caroline regretfully, “Ms. Evans, I’m very sorry. Mr. French’s assistant called this morning and said he has agreed to our partnership.

Caroline gave a slight smile. “But this is a good thing.

“But..” Jules didn’t dare meet Caroline’s eyes. “Mr. French has decided to use Vivian’s design.”

Caroline’s smile froze for a second but then grew bigger. “Does Mr. French not want to look at my

design?”

“That… seems to be the case.”

Caroline still maintained her smile. “I think it’s better if he takes a look anyway.”

“You think?” Vivian laughed mockingly.

“Mr. French’s time is precious. What makes you think he will waste his time on you?”

Caroline looked at Vivian calmly. “His stubborn pursuit of good packaging makes me think that. All the effort I’ve poured into my design makes me think that.”

Vivian scoffed.

The others started laughing as well.

“Ms. Evans, you really are confident in yourself. But sometimes, being too confident is ultimately self– defeating,” the finance director said.

“The Novitius Prize gave you this confidence, right? But the other competitors in the Novitius -Contest were hobbyists. Now, you’re facing someone who is an assistant director with a decade of

design experience.

“When it comes down to it, she knows more than you. Losing to Vivian isn’t shameful at all. It’s just getting to know your new place and going back to where you belong.”

After he finished speaking, more laughter ensued.

Caroline’s gaze fell on Jules. “Mr. Hawkins, I insist on my request.”

Jules had a headache. How about this? Mr. French will come over personally to sign the contract in a bit. When the time comes, I’ll find a way to show him your design. What do you think?”

Vivian said, “There’s no need for that, is there, Mr. Hawkins? It’s a waste of time anyway.”

Jules wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Just as he was about to speak, his assistant ran inside. “Mr. Hawkins, Mr. French is here.”

Hearing this, everyone stood up to welcome Corvin. After all, he was a respected and seasoned expert in the skincare industry.

Jules and Vivian both knew Corvin, so they naturally stood in front.

As for Caroline, she was pushed all the way to the back.

Corvin arrived at the door of the conference room, led by one of the staff.

Vivian went up to him. “Mr. French.”

Corvin shook hands with Vivian warmly, but his gaze fell on Caroline.

“Oh, Ms. Evans, I finally get to see you.”

Corvin let go of Vivian’s hand and walked toward Caroline.

His expression was excited. “I came to see you specifically yesterday, but Vivian told me you weren’t at the company. I finally get to see you now.”

The whole conference room became quiet.

None of them had expected Corvin to treat Caroline so warmly.

They were even more surprised that Corvin had come over yesterday to see Caroline.

Especially since, after Corvin’s visit, Vivian had repeatedly mentioned in the company’s group

chat that Corvin had come to see her.
