Robbie was relieved when he heard the news of Carson's return. He had been looking for him for the entire day. Robbie immediately arrived at Baxter Group and waited for Carson on the top floor of the company building. Ding!The executive elevator for the president door opened, and out came Carson Baxter. "Mr. Baxter!" greeted Robbie.As Carson approached him, Robbie sensed a smell of smoke emanating from him. He took a closer look at him and mentally sighed.Robbie knew how much Carson had missed Everly, but he was going just to get himself into more disappointments. Miss Pettis was already long gone and Violet was not Everly. It was impossible.'Mr. Baxter, this is all self-inflicting-torture,' Robbie thought.Carson went to the lounge to change his clothes. The smell of tobacco on his body disappeared as he came out again. Other than his slightly gloomy appearance, Carson seemed no different from any other day.Robbie breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Baxter, you've disappear
Robbie froze at Carson's request. 'What is the meaning of this?' he thought to himself.Blue was Miss Pettis's favorite color!Over the past year, women had tried to imitate Everly's preferences in order to get close to Carson. Naturally, there were many who dressed in blue, but they were all turned down angrily by Carson every single time. Many people even knew not to wear a blue outfit in front of him casually. It was considered taboo. However, this time…Carson clearly knew that Violet was not Everly. Moreover, Violet's favorite color was, not surprisingly, violet, as her name went. Yet, he still asked for a blue dress for her?What is going on?…The news of Violet's Studio moving into Baxter Group with 5% of the company shares spread like wildfire throughout the premises. Everyone was talking about it.Also, there was the news from the several supervisors who were previously given a personal explanation from Mr. Baxter that the 5% shares which were given to Violet were sole
Richard's car stopped at the outside of the Four Seasons Hotel. Suddenly, the sound of high-heels approached him, and the door on the side of his car was suddenly pulled open. A woman came in directly and sat on the passenger seat."Richie! What's going on with that Violet from Carson's company!" The woman asked, covering her face, "Why do I keep hearing Carson was interested in her!""Alice Davidson!" said Richard angrily, as he glared at his little sister, who was wearing a black Diore dress. "I'm your elder brother. Stop calling me Richie! Have some respect, for goodness sake. How annoying!" "Alright, Big Brother, geez," Alice said. "Just tell me, it's not like you don't know. I have liked Carson for so long. Before this, dad had asked me to go to Belgravia, and I didn't have the time to attend Oliver's birthday party. You've promised to help me persuade Carson!" she urged.Alice would probably not have the time to return to Cannesville, if it wasn't for the fact that she had s
Almost instantly, all eyes were on Violet. Chattering and gossip were heard among the crowd of people."Who is she? Why is she dressed in blue? She's going to be in a lot of trouble when Mr. Baxter sees her!""I have no idea. It looks like she's one of those girls who wants to get close to Mr. Baxter!""She's Violet. Since Mr. Baxter was willing to pay such a high price for her, she probably thought she could get away with anything! Just wait. She's going to make a fool out of herself!"…Alice looked at Richard, who was beside her. Her eyes were full of contempt. "Richie, is that Violet?" she asked.Richard frowned, his disgust for Violet seemingly deepened in his heart. "That's her," he said with a sneer.Alice raised an eyebrow slightly. She gave Violet a long look as she was walking in, "It seems that Violet is just as you've described, a self-righteous woman!" she said with a smile.Richard had not answered her. From his perspective, it seemed that Violet had planned this
Robbie parted his lips slightly. He decided that perhaps it was better to stop making any more signals to Richard to prevent further misunderstandings."Carson, perhaps your actions in the exhibition hall previously had gotten Violet to be too ahead of herself. Just forgive her this once. After all, she will be cooperating with you from now on," said Alice with a smileCarson withdrew his gaze from Richard and continued looking at Everly from where he stood. She was seen greeting the people around her politely. However, many people were avoiding her, probably because of the blue dress she was wearing.Carson frowned slightly as he watched. He turned and walked downstairs."Richie, look, it's showtime," Alice said to Richard in a whisper.Richard nodded back to his sister in response as he looked at Everly mockingly.Robbie shook his head helplessly. He walked away and followed Carson from behind.Carson immediately got everyone's attention the moment he stepped into the corrid
In the meantime, Carson was leaning on the sofa in a private room on the second floor. He had a glass of wine in his hand.The people sitting around looked at each other, and finally, Richard asked, "Carson, what is going on with Violet?"Carson just shook his wine glass at his spot nonchalantly."All this while, many had dressed themselves up like Everly to get close to you. You've turned every single one of them down. But what is it with Violet? She's just another one of those women. She must have a hidden agenda dressing herself up like this today. Why aren't you doing anything about it!" said Richard in a hasty tone.Carson was expressionless. He lowered his eyes slightly, not answering Richard. "Richie!" said the people around as they tried to persuade Richard to stop.Richard had not liked Violet at all. He had been on Carson's side for a long time, and he always thought that apart from Everly, the only woman who should be together with him was his sister, Alice. Richard w
Alice saw Violet going in the direction of the restroom. She made up an excuse to leave the crowd. "Excuse me, I need to go to the washroom," she said.In the restroom, Violet had just finished putting on her makeup when she turned around and saw Alice standing on the side."Who are you?" Everly asked suspiciously.Alice stared viciously at the woman in front of him, then sneered and said, "Are you trying to get close to Carson? My advice to you, don't even think about it! Carson will never set his eyes on the likes of you!"Hmm?Violet laughed. She looked at Alice and said, "There's nothing going on between Mr. Baxter and me. Even if there was, it's none of your concern. You came all the way here to tell me these. Does this all mean that he's interested in me?""Carson is not interested in you!" Alice retorted. She took a step forward as she stared at Everly, "It's a taboo that you wore this dress! If it weren't for me telling Carson to give you another chance, you wouldn't even
Violet laughed all of a sudden. She lowered her head and looked at Alice, who was staring back at her. Violet put the towel aside, then turned around and walked away."Violet! I had asked Carson to forgive you! How dare you push me! You're not getting away without an apology!" Alice screamed as she rushed towards Everly, attempting to block her path.Everly was not going to let Alice have things her way. She hastened her pace and quickly stepped to the side. Alice, who was about to reach out to Everly, missed her and stepped on the spilled champagne on the floor. She lost her balance and slipped to the ground."Miss Davidson is so kind to give me such a warm welcome. I'm flattered," sneered Everly as she glanced down at Alice, who was in a state of embarrassment on the floor. She then looked at the people around her with a half-smile, and said, "This party was really fun, but my dress is all messed up now. I think I will take my leave. If you'll excuse me."Everly turned around and
