Chapter 291 Didn't I Already Apologize?
Is Hazel asking me to call Fin because she suspects I'm lying? No way. I can't let this slip. If my lie gets exposed, I'll be way too humiliated to stay here, Emily thought, forcing herself to remain composed.
She shot Hazel a look and retorted, "Are we even that close? Do you really think I'll call Fin just to ask what he's doing? Have you forgotten how you tried to set me up not long ago? Do you need a reminder of how absurd that is?"All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Hazel hadn't expected Emily to be so bitter. She gave a polite smile, trying to ease the tension. "Emily, I already said I was sorry. I even gave you a diamond necklace to make things right. Can't we just let it go?"
Oh, the nerve of her, she actually dares to bring up that necklace! Emily fumed. I might still have it if she'd just given me that necklace quietly, but Samantha snatched it away. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Ugh! I could strangle that girl. All I did was ask for a favor, and I lost it!
With a sigh, Emily replied cuttingly, "Hazel, you've got to understand that not everything can be smoothed over with a necklace. I've got stuff to do, so I'm done here. Handle your own business."
Emily turned to leave, but Hazel wasn't backing down that easily. She hurried after Emily, clutching her arm./Look, if you won't call Mr. Dean for me, how about doing it for everyone? Or better yet, why don't you just pop into the room and ask him yourself? You're close with him, aren't you?"
Emily thought, No way. First off, I don't even have his number. Plus, he'll probably toss me out if I barge in to ask him anything. I'm not stupid enough to do that for Hazel.
Yanking her arm free, Emily snapped, "Hazel, I've reached my limit. I've already told you I'm not helping, so quit dogging me. Or is being pushy just your style?" Hazel's face darkened at Emily's words. "Emily, I've let you talk to me like this so far, but-"
Before Hazel could finish, Samantha appeared in the doorway with a yawn. With all eyes on her, she casually announced, "Submit your proposal now if you're here to bid."
Samantha was roused by the company executives. The tendering meeting had been delayed long enough, and they'd been pressuring Finley to get things moving, but he hadn't started because of her.
Still groggy, Samantha chose to pitch in and gather the proposals herself. When she made the announcement, everyone promptly submitted their proposals.
