The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

The next day, as soon as Janet walked into the company, Tiffany called her into her office.

Janet swallowed nervously. She couldn’t tell if Tiffany believed what Jocelyn had said yesterday.

“Lind, your design was approved by the Color Company. Go ahead and prepare for the project with them.” Tiffany spoke briskly, not even glancing up at Janet when she entered her office.

“What? But they criticized me and my work yesterday. How could they change their mind overnight?” Janet’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

Plus, what with the arrogant way Jocelyn acted yesterday, Janet was under the impression that Tiffany had called her into her office to fire her.

“Why are you so surprised? They’re not blind. Anyone could see that your design was way better than the second proposal. It’s obvious that the representative from the Color Company didn’t know what they were talking about and only rejected your design because she holds a grudge against you. Anyway, Mr. Harding contacted their chairman and now, their CEO has been demoted. So your design plan has been re-adopted and the cooperation between us two parties can proceed smoothly. Any more questions?” Finally, Tiffany looked up from the document she was reading and smiled at Janet encouragingly.

Dumbfounded, Janet shook her head slowly.

“Oh, no, no. I’m just surprised. Thanks for telling me, Ms. Fisher. I’ll go back to my work.” When Janet came to her senses, she smiled sheepishly and excused herself.

Truth be told, she wasn’t happy per se. She just felt confused. In her eyes, the cooperation wasn’t that crucial, so why did Garrett need to interfere?

Seeing that she was about to leave, Tiffany raised her eyebrows and seemed to have read her mind. “I didn’t think that Mr. Harding would get involved in this matter. You two seem to be… on good terms. Did you know him before you joined the company?”
