Chapter: 427
“Con. Let's get sfood first, and then we can go check out the local attractions,” Millie said with a chuckle. Nancy stormed into her room, ripped up a piece of paper, and scratched her head in frustration.
Millie, an unknown designer, had just beaten her in a competition.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLaurel stared at her with wide eyes. She was also upset by Millie’s victory, but she was more alarmed because it was the first tthat she had seen Nancy so enraged.
“Calm down, Nancy. You'll win against her next time. She just got lucky this time, Laurel said.
Nancy gave her a forced smile. “Laurel, can you givesspace for a while?”
Millie completely destroyed her confidence. She needed to vent her anger, or she would lose her mind. Humphrey gestured for Laurel to go out and assured her that he would handle Nancy.
“Please take care of her, Humphrey,” Laurel muttered.
Once his sister was out of the room, Humphrey wrapped his arms around Nancy.
“Don't worry, Nancy. You'll beat her next time,” Humphrey said in a soft voice.
Nancy buried her face in his chest and started to cry, melting in his embrace.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“| can’t believe | lost to her!” Nancy cried. Humphrey gently rubbed her back, closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply, taking in her scent.
“| think you're tired. Do you want to study abroad for a while? I'll go with you if you want,” Humphrey suggested. Something about Nancy seemed off to him recently. She was tense and distant, and it made him uneasy. Nancy jerked away from his grasp and scowled at him.
She snarled, “Are you saying that I’m not as talented as Millie? Is that why you're askingto study more?”
Humphrey was taken aback by her reaction. He hastened to explain, “That’s not what | mean. | just think you need a rest.”
“| don’t need a rest. | have no plans to give up my job. Please keep that in mind, and don’t bring that up again,” Nancy instructed firmly.
She refused to step down from her position as chief designer at the Thomas Group.
She had made a lot to get what she had now, and she was not going to let any of that go to waste.
