Chapter 174
Ophelia handed her phone to Phoebe so that she could check the picture more closely.
Phoebe glanced at it and nodded slightly, saying, “That’s right.”
She sounded very confident.
Amelia shouted anxiously, “You’re lying! Those two designs aren’t from Mystique Moon! Didn’t they find Mystique Moon’s missing designs a long time ago?”
Phoebe’s expression froze for a moment. Then she realized Ophelia was tricking her.
Fortunately, no one else dwelled on the thought.
Ophelia took back her phone, knowing her guess was correct.
She had met Mystique Moon’s head designer once before, and Phoebe was nothing like her. Phoebe could easily fake her identity, especially since Mystique Moon’s brand was based in Yoskela.
Ophelia said, “Sorry, I remembered wrong. It wasn’t Mystique Moon, but New Realm, right?”
Amelia kept silent.
There was a dead silence in the room.
The conference room was filled with the sound of quiet breathing. Every staff member awaited Ophelia’s revelation of their wrongdoings, yet no one dared to speak up in defense.
Hendrick was an example.
He really served as a warning to everyone.
Around noon, Ophelia received a message from Kenneth: [I’m downstairs. Let’s have lunch together.]
Ophelia replied: (Okay.]
Meanwhile, she stood up and said, “I have nothing else to say. The HR department should make according adjustments first.
Just
t as she left the conference room, Phoebe hurried after her.
Phoebe asked, “Elia, are you going downstairs for lunch? Let’s go together.”
“Sorry, I have other plans, Ophelia directly refused.
In the conference room, the people there only dared to exhale a long breath after Ophelia had left.
Wendy, the HR Director, searched for Ophelia online.
She exclaimed, “Oh my gosh, Ophelia’s the founder of La Reverie!
Someone asked, “What? The designer of the evening gown?”
Everyone else gathered around, looking at the content on Wendy’s phone. There was only a side profile picture of Ophelia online, but it was enough for thein to recognize her.
That was when someone remembered the key information.
Chapter 174
During her introduction, Ophelia did mention her name, but they didn’t really pay attention.
Someone exclaimed. The founder of La Reverie was just sitting there! How did I not recognize my own idol?
With his stuff just packed up, Hendrick overheard the conversation while passing by the conference room door in frustration
He felt humiliated.
Hendrick never expected that his past would be exposed by a young lady he looked down upon.
Previously, Hendrick claimed Ophelia knew nothing about management or design, yet she turned out to be the founder of La Reverie.
Now, he really regretted it
Hendrick immediately lowered his head, walking sheepishly towards the elevator.
Luckily, it wasn’t the lunchtime rush hour.
Just then, a charming figure walked towards him
Phoebe said gently, I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep your position.” Her expression was filled with guilt.
Hendrick was stunned.
When he looked up, he saw Phoebe’s kind and beautiful face, and his heart raced.
“No, it has nothing to do with you,” said Hendrick.
Phoebe handed over a business card and said, “Call him, and he’ll arrange a new job for you. If you need any help. feel free
to contact me.”
Looking at the business card Phoebe gave him, Hendrick felt deeply moved.
He was just about to express his gratitude when the elevator arrived.
Feeling embarrassed, he dared not linger. He nodded to Phoebe and quickly slipped into the elevator.
Ophelia came downstairs and saw the impressive off–road vehicle parked by the road.
Kenneth had driven over himself, wearing a burgundy shirt and a black baseball cap, looking quite mysterious.
Ophelia opened the door and got into the passenger seat.
Kenneth seldom drove himself,
Observing him drive was indeed a delight. His hands were characterized by long, stender fingers and prominent knuckles. Adorned with a tailored watch on his left wrist, the brown leather strap was occasionally visible as he grasped the black steering wheel with a single hand, the strap pecking out from beneath his cuff.
Ophelia felt it was a feast for her eyes.
Yet, those hands were just as adept when performing other tasks
Ophelia swiftly banished the inappropriate thoughts from her mind and inquired, “Why do you have time to meet me for
Chapter 174
lunch today?”
This place wasn’t exactly close to the Sinclair Group, It took at least half an hour to drive there.
Kenneth turned slightly to her, gently brushing aside strands of hair from Ophelia’s forehead, where a small, light pink scar
had healed.
He said. “From the way you’re talking, it sounds like you’re complaining that I used to spend less time with you, right?”
Ophelia always believed Kenneth’s way of thinking was quite different from normal people’s
She said, “Oh no, I was already really happy when you could spend the weekends with me before”
Now, being together every day made her happy, but her back couldn’t handle it sometimes.
Kenneth was just about to start the car when the window on Ophelia’s side was tapped.
Phoebe was truly relentless, never giving up.
Ophelia rolled down the window and asked, “What’s up?”
Phoebe said. “Elia, Kenny, I just arrived in Dellanex and I’m not familiar with this area. Could you take me with you? Just drop me off at the restaurant, and I won’t interrupt your date.”
Phoebe seemed sincere, and her right shoulder appeared a bit stiff.
Ophelia turned her head to look at Kenneth,
Kenneth’s gaze turned cold instantly, and he said, “If you’re unfamiliar with this place, just use GPS. I’m not a chauffeur, Does anyone get to ride in my car?”
Ophelia said, “Sorry, Ms. Davidson…”
Before Ophelia could finish, Kenneth leaned over to help her with the seatbelt.
Their noture was intimate.
The large SUV appeared to lack sufficient space to accommodate a third passenger.
Kenneth’s lips brushed Ophelia’s, and he whispered, “You haven’t even said you miss me yet.” Seeing her rosy lips, he couldn’t resist kissing them gently.
Ophelia thought, ‘Well, didn’t we just see each other this morning?”
It had only been three hours since Kenneth dropped Ophelia off for work this morning. In the past, they used to meet just once a week on weekends.
Ophelia leaned back a little to get a clear look at Kenneth’s entire face.
She said, “I guess I wasn’t missing you intensely enough for you to feel it.”
Kenneth’s eyes
turned more affectionate as he held the back of her head. Then he lowered his head to capture her lips in a kiss, not caring at all about the third person next to them.
He only felt satisfied after fully indulging in Ophelia’s unique scent.
Phoebe was standing by the car, looking like a fool.
Her face brimmed with envy and jealousy, but before she could utter a word, the black SUV drove away, shrouding her in a

cloud of exhaust fumes
Phoebe coughed and murmured. “Ahem… Kenny, am I really not as good as her?”
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her skin without her noticing.
The black SUV was parked in front of a lakeside restaurant,
Upon entering. Ophelia noticed that they were the sole patrons in the opulent restaurant.
“Mr. Sinclair, I’ve taken the initiative to order your meal,” Mark announced, standing by the door, poised to assist like a butler.
Kenneth held Ophelia’s hand and led her to the most scenic spot to sit down.
