Chapter 535

“You…” A hint of coldness was beginning to turn Natalie’s gaze into an icy glare. She was about to snap at Derek when Elizabeth stopped her.

“I’ll do it. We should avoid getting into conflicts with each other for this project.” between the two of them, Elizabeth felt as if she was caught in the middle of a brewing storm.

She picked up the pen and started to draw. As her hand moved across the page, a sudden burst of pain radiated from her wound. The pen dropped to the ground with a clatter.

Elizabeth crouched down to pick it up. “I’m sorry,” she said awkwardly. “It sl*pped because my grip was a little loose.”

Derek could tell with one glance that Elizabeth was downplaying her injury. It was a deep enough cut that the normal use of her hand was not possible.

“Miss Perry, you’ve hurt your hand badly. I can’t trust a designer who can’t even hold a pen right.”
