Let Me Go, Mr. Hill! Chapter 22
Catherine blushed in embarrassment.“I was involved in the designing of Melbourne theater and airport. Besides, I also have experience in project management, but people don’t believe me because of my age. I can’t possibly reveal my identity as the young lady of the Jones family as well because people might form their own opinions on my motive. That’s why I can only choose from being an assistant in a big company or being a designer in a small business,” she explained while quickly gathering the leaflets.“I don’t want to be an assistant because that’s basically doing odd administrative jobs. Someone higher up will undoubtedly take advantage of me and claim my design concepts as their own. I’d rather start building my profile in a small company. Not only can I share a percentage of profit when closing deals, but managing a project also gives out a handsome paycheck. After a year of doing this, I can probably save enough money, build a team, and start my own business. This hardship is

“Alright Jones, keep up with the good work. Perhaps the traffic will increase after lunch hour. Seize the opportunity to hand out the leaflets as quickly as you can. I agreed to hire you because I think your pretty appearance might attract clients. You must work hard. A great designer is useless if she can’t close deals.”“I will.”Catherine ended the call quietly.Shaun stole a glimpse of her out of the corners of his eyes. The car window was closed, thus he overheard the entire conversation with her boss. “You should work somewhere else.”She twitched her lips into a bitter smile. “It doesn’t matter which company I work for. Everything will be difficult in the beginning.”He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel without commenting further.Coincidentally, they drove past an unusual-looking building with a unique style. “What’s that place?” he asked casually.“Melbourne Culture and Technology Center.” Something came into her mind out of the blue. “The construction has just r

Of course, Chase dared not voice out his opinion. “I know the person in charge of the center quite well. Should I just pull some strings to give her company the project? As far as I know, many other big companies, Summit included, are participating in the bidding too. It’s a fierce competition.”“There’s no need for that. The chance is already presented to her. If she fails to acquire the project, it simply means that she’s not capable. Just ensure it’s a fair competition.” Chase was impressed. This man really showed no mercy even to his own wife. “Right, I’ll do as you say.”Five minutes later, Catherine returned with a bag of streaky pork. “It’s sorted,” he said casually.She appeared startled. Was that all it took? This uncle of Ethan must be a powerful man.“Thank you,” she said sincerely.The corners of his lips curled into a smile. “Now, let’s head home for roast pork.”A look of mock surprise washed over her face. “I wasn’t going to make that. I’m thinking of making pork

The project manager exclaimed, “It’s not that easy. Among the bidders are two listed companies, not to mention the several other companies with decades of experience in the field and numerous branches. I think Summit is probably going to be the winner of this competition.”Catherine felt a tightening feeling in her chest.It was not unusual that Summit was participating too. After all, big projects like this not only brought lots of profit but also honor. She had no idea which designer would represent them for this project. However, she was not concerned anyway. No one knew the designers working at Summit better than she did. Those people had plenty of experience but lacked creativity.After a brief consideration, she said, “President Yates, we should be courageous and take on the challenge. The Culture and Technology Center will be open to the public in the future. I think we can combine both cultural aspects and science concepts into the design to give users a different experience

“Yup, this is my sketch. Let me know what you think.”Catherine opened the laptop and handed it over.A mysterious dark blue color spread across Shaun’s eyes. At first glance, he felt as if he was traveling through a space-time tunnel surrounded by dazzling starlight.She began explaining the concept behind the design. “This sketch is titled ‘Cosmic Eye’. Look, don’t you think the countless nebulae here resemble pairs of twinkling eyes? I believe the main focus of our future expedition lies in the universe. Over here is the Fourth Dimensional World, designed using Escher style…”He listened attentively as she explained the details with assurance. His eyes remained as still as water although he was secretly overwhelmed with astonishment on the inside. This creativity with a touch of exploration was perfectly suitable for the interior design of a technology center. Indeed, he had underestimated her in the past. He did not expect a young lady born with a silver spoon in the mouth

“You’re saying she stole your concept?” President Sawyer frowned.“That’s right. I have evidence on my laptop too. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time and effort putting these ideas into drawings, even starting the 2D sketch from scratch. I have the rough drawing with me as well.”“Show me.”Catherine immediately retrieved her laptop, but to her utter shock, all the documents had vanished. She failed to locate the initial sketches she kept in her purse too.At the speed of lightning, she snapped her head toward Henry who was standing nearby. “Did you delete my documents?”She could not think of anyone else apart from this man.“Have you lost your mind? I’m your colleague.” Henry sprung to his feet in rage.Rebecca, who was still standing on the podium, said in a stern voice, “Cathy, that’s enough. We can solve our personal dispute some other time, but this is a huge moment for Summit. Must you accuse me in front of the public simply to embarrass me?”President Sawyer appeare

The gates gradually opened after some time.Rebecca approached her while shielding herself from the rain under an umbrella. A smug look washed over her face. “Cathy, thanks a lot. Your design earned me the right to this project. You really are talented.”Catherine lifted her head, her blood-red eyes glowing with anger. The other woman smiled. “Don’t get too upset. The project would’ve belonged to me with or without your design. Ethan had already pulled the strings for me. Perhaps you have no idea that his uncle is a good friend of President Sawyer? Your design was just a prop to the plan.”Uncle… Shaun?Catherine felt as if a wild animal was tearing her heart into pieces with its sharp claws. Her breathing became erratic.She had genuinely felt grateful to him for giving her a chance. Little did she know that he had already decided the ending beforehand. Why did he lie? He knew how much effort she had poured into this project.Her vision blurred, but she could not tell if it
Let Me Go, Mr. Hill! Chapter 29
With that, Ethan picked Rebecca up into his arms and walked toward the Lamborghini.When his car sped into the distance, leaving her behind for the second time, Catherine decided to give up her affection for him.Starting from this moment, any love she felt for him before was replaced by hatred and despise.“Oh, you poor thing.” James walked toward her while holding an umbrella, smiling with his eyes narrowed. “The young lady of the Jones family who was once above everyone else has now lost all her power.”Exhausted, she could not be bothered to deal with the man. She started walking toward her car in silence.His voice rang behind her. “Uncle Jeffery and Aunt Sally will definitely be informed of today’s incident. It’s obvious that they favor Rebecca over you. Don’t dream of heading back to the Jones family anymore because no one there welcomes your presence.”Slam! She shut the door and drove away.His words were not news to her, but it did not matter. Her life was miserable en
