Ch. 2661..2670
Chapter 2661 "Do you want to see me again so badly and want to keep harassing me?” Dash looked at Eevonne with a gaze as if he desperately wanted to kick Eevonne into the stinky sewers at that moment.
"I'm sorry." Eevonne said. At that moment, no matter what Dash said, she could only say that she was sorry.
At that moment, the woman in the car behind him got out gracefully and came to Dash's side. "Dash, why does what you say sound like she is your...ex-girlfriend?"
Upon saying that, the woman surveyed Eevonne from top to bottom. The polar fleece jacket that Eevonne was wearing was less than fifty dollars that she bought online. Her jeans also looked slightly old. Her white shoes, in particular, were brushed by her until the threads were already coming off.
Logically speaking, her salary at that time was not low. However, she has moved and was renting a house at a different place. That place was very near a language school. She no longer worked as a food delivery person. Instead, she would attend language class after work every day. The houses near the language school were very expensive. Other than paying for the rental, she would always bring gifts to visit Yvonne’s parents every week. At that moment, other than just visiting Yvonne's parents, she would also visit Kingston’s parents because he was not home almost all the time.
Therefore, the responsibility of taking care of the four elderly people basically landed on Eevonne's shoulders. She was already an adult. When it was time for her to get married to Kingston in the future, she had to buy some decent jewelry and things for the wedding, only then she could be a suitable match for Kingston.
Besides, she has to save some money to deal with unexpected matters, right? She would occasionally dine with her colleagues, join them for entertainment activities, buy them food and drinks, and so on.
On top of that, she also has to pay for her own daily food and drinks. The amount of money that she could set aside to buy clothes was truly not much.
Fortunately, Kingston did not mind how she was dressed. She was also thinking that it was only a temporary thing. In another couple of months, she would be clearing the debt she owed to the bank.
Also, her Spanish has improved quite a bit. She was thinking that in the new year, she would ask the company for a promotion. After that, her salary would also increase a little. Then, she could also dress herself up beautifully, so at least she would not embarrass Kingston. However, before the time came, she met her ex-boyfriend. She used to be so poor and so embarrassing, but at that moment, she could only be considered to be a little bit better than she was back then.
However, in comparison to Dash, who was in a sharp suit, Eevonne was still the incomparably shabby Eevonne. Moreover, Dash has such a strong, dazzling, and noble beauty standing beside him.
"Are you Dash's ex-girlfriend?" the noble woman asked Eevonne, who was slightly feeling inferior, once again.
"Yes, but that's already a matter from six years ago," Eevonne answered honestly.
"If I guessed it right, Dash should be the one who dumped you back then, right?" the woman asked again.
Eevonne bit her lips. "Yes..."
"So you've always been unsatisfied and you still want to keep harassing him?” "No!" Eevonne said very firmly.
The woman sneered. "You’re working in this company, aren't you? Do you believe that I can get you fired from this company tomorrow?"
Chapter 2662 Eevonne's tone suddenly became very worked up. "You... on what grounds?"
The woman scolded softly. "On the grounds that you harassed my husband!"
"I didn't!" Eevonne said.
"You didn't? If you didn't, why did you make my husband wait here for one and half hours today? You just want to crush my husband with your position as the company in the upstream sector, don't you? At first, I did not know why you wanted to crush my husband. I've understood it now. You're doing this because you wanted him to submit to you, aren't you? You shameless despicable woman! You didn't even consider your own value! Yes, the Ford Group is indeed very rich, but in the Ford Group, you can't even be compared to an ant! Who do you think you are? How dare you even think of stealing my man from me!"
"...No, I...I didn't! I already have a boyfriend now. I won't... " Eevonne said.
Speaking of that, she did not even know what to say anymore. How come the more she explained the messier the situation became? Also, the forceful attitude of the woman made Eevonne feel disgusted. She wanted to quarrel with that woman immediately, but she also felt that it was inappropriate to do that at the entrance of the Ford Group. Also, ever since Eevonne followed Kingston to South City, she has vowed that she absolutely would never quarrel with others anymore in the future. Besides, it was indeed her fault for harassing Dash back then.
Eevonne took a deep breath. "Mister Long, miss, as long as you don’t give up working with the Ford Group ..1'11 resign immediately."
Both Dash and his girlfriend were speechless.
'Ĩ hope that you won’t lose the opportunity for both parties to collaborate because of me," said Eevonne, and then she turned around and left.
She has already thought about it. Even if she did not resign, Dash would also agree to collaborate with the Ford Group. However, it would be very awkward for both of them if they were to meet in the future. Therefore, she might as well just resign immediately. If worse came to worst, she could just return to how things were when she had just come to South City. She could work one job during the day and then work as a food delivery person at night. It still would not be a problem for her to make ten thousand dollars a month.
Dash, however, shouted sharply from behind her. "Hold on!"
Eevonne looked back and asked him calmly, "Is there anything I can help you with, Mister Long?"
"I advise you to be good in the future." Dash's tone sounded like he was preaching to her.
Eevonne smiled calmly. "What...do you mean?"
"I think you should be extremely clear about how you get into such a huge corporate group, right? I realized that you’ve become more and more proficient in the aspect of making a fake diploma now! It's probably not out of consideration for both companies that you said you wanted to resign, right? You're afraid that the matter of you faking a diploma would be exposed if I come and collaborate with your company, right? Five years have gone by. Why are you still stubborn in not changing your ways? We know each other, after all. I'm reminding you to not sink any deeper. This is South City. The Ford Group is the top corporate group in the world. The price you have to pay for forging in the Ford Group is not the same as you forging in that kind of mid size city like our provincial capital back then. Don't be crushed until you don't even have any remains left when the time comes!"
Eevonne was speechless.
Chapter 2663 Eevonne paused for a moment and then said to Dash politely. "Thank you for your reminder.” "Do as you see fit then!" Dash’s gaze was still filled with disgust.
Eevonne turned around and walked away. She did not turn around to take a look at Dash anymore. Every word Dash said to her was piercing her heart aggressively, but she had no way to refute him. After all, she had truly harassed Dash for a whole year back then. That was a fact that could not be erased. The reason Dash looked down on her so much at that moment was all because of her own doing. She could not blame anybody else. What she could do at that moment was to let herself be calm, be strong, and face her past forever.
Eevonne went to the human resource department without hesitation as soon as she entered the company.
"Mister Weir, I want to resign. Please tell me how soon can I leave the company. If it can help make it sooner, I will work overtime to get all the work I have on hand done. I won't leave any loose ends for the company."
Mister Weir was stunned. "Have you told your director? Also, do those people in charge at the headquarters agree for you to resign?"
Eevonne pursed her lips. "I have to resign, so I won’t talk to my superior anymore."
Mister Weir was speechless. He paused for a moment, and then he directly called the director of the fashion department.
When the director heard over the phone that Eevonne wanted to resign, he was stunned. Immediately after, he said, "Ask Eevonne to first get back here. I'll talk to her."
Eevonne had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the director's office of the fashion department.
"Eevonne, you didn’t manage to get Mister Long back, did you?" the director asked.
Eevonne sighed. "Sir, I have a way to let Mister Long collaborate with US, which is for me to resign. I'll leave the company as fast as possible. He should be willing to collaborate with US. You...just find someone to take over my job as soon as possible. Don't worry. Even if I have left the company, if you need me to hand over anything in the next month, I won’t refuse. You don't have to worry about that," Eevonne said sincerely.
The director put his hand to his forehead and did not say anything for a long while. Then, he lifted his head."
Can you give me a valid reason why you were one and a half hours late today? Also, what exactly happened between you and Mister Long? I know this is your personal matter. You can choose to not answer me.
However, you know that it wasn't easy at all for our corporate group to train you. All the employees of the Ford Group are very stable. We've just trained you up and then you resigned. This is not in line with our company's culture as well. As long as you can give me a valid reason, we can resolve this matter together.
Alright?"
Eevonne's eyes instantly became red as she teared up when she heard the direction saying that. In the past year of working in the Ford Group, she did well partly because of her own efforts, but it was also because the company's environment was indeed very good. She was not cultured, but many of her colleagues did not look down on her because of that. Instead, they exhausted all the ways to help her become more cultured. She did not know Spanish, those colleagues who had worked abroad for a few years would spare no effort to teach her how to speak the language and would even utilize the little bit of time during lunch. The expertise she had gained in the past was indeed very strong.
However, in the past year, she mastered things that she did not know in the past in addition to her strong knowledge of the field. Therefore, she was already able to work independently in the fashion department of the Ford Group. Of course, that was good news for her.
However, from the perspective of the company, it was only natural that the company would not want to just give up on a newly trained employee like that.
"L.there's an elderly couple near my house. Their child is missing. I’ve been the one taking care of them recently. The elderly couple is very nice to me. They taught me quite a few things. I can't just let them be. They usually won't trouble me, but it just so happened that they encountered a little trouble this morning..."
The director was surprised. "Were you taking care of elderly people who are not related to you by blood?"
Eevonne nodded. "Mm-hmm. Also...Dash and I. He used to be my boyfriend. I once didn't want to let him go so I harassed him, so his impression of me is especially bad. That's why I was wondering, if I were to resign, would he be willing to collaborate with the company? Sir, just approve of my resignation as soon as possible."
"You used to harass him, but you're not in contact with him anymore now, right? Do you still like him?" the director asked as he tried to probe.
Eevonne smiled. "How can that be possible? I've not contacted and met him for five years. He and I have long been in the past. I don't like him at all now." 1 The director suddenly got up. "That’s good then!
Eevonne, the fashion department has decided to keep you and not that fashion company."
Eevonne was stunned. "What?"
Chapter 2664 The director said firmly, "Eevonne, if they're so assertive and no longer willing to work with US because of a personal matter or because you were late for one and a half hours, do you think we still need to keep this company? This company is indeed very outstanding in every aspect, but it is not also exclusive. On the contrary, it would be very difficult for their company to accept such a big order like ours that could sustain their business for two years. This Is especially when the economy is not doing great right now. I don’t want to compromise with them because firstly, I want to protect our company's attitude. Secondly, I also want to protect my own staff. In the past, when Mister Ford was running the company, he had said before that if our company wanted to grow stronger, then we have to put our staff first. If our company doesn't protect you this time, what would other staff be thinking? What if it causes a panic? Then, wouldn't the company be a goner soon?"
Eevonne was speechless. At that moment, she was very touched.
"Calm yourself down. I'll hand in the report to the headquarters. We...won't be collaborating with them anymore!"
Eevonne opened her mouth as she wanted to say something, but the director had already left. A few colleagues came up to comfort her.
"Eevonne, that kind of person is too arrogant. How can he request our company to change a person just because there's a conflict between you guys in the past? That's too unreasonable!"
"Oh, yes, Eevonne, why are you late for one and a half hours today at this juncture? You've always been so hard -working, and you're always already in the company before we got here. When we ask you about it, you always say that the slow person should always start working early, but you've helped US do so many things.
Your Spanish has improved a lot now. That translation for the tough and uncommon words that I've encountered the last time, I later felt that your translation was the right one. Eevonne, I feel if our department has lost you, then it would truly be the company's loss. What the director did is right!"
"Eevonne, we support you!"
"Eevonne, you'll be getting your level six certification for your Spanish soon, right? You're going to be getting your college diploma in another two years. In the future, let's see who else still has the guts to scold you."
When she saw her colleagues standing up for her and helping her, Eevonne suddenly felt that she was very worthy. She simply felt that she was living in the real world at that moment. Everything in the past, on the other hand, was just an illusion. She had always been imagining that if she had achieved academic success, had a successful career, and had all sorts of glamor, then she could hold her head up high in front of her family and neighbors.
However, at that moment, she was very pragmatic and had been keeping her own feet on the ground.
Everything that she got was gained by working for it one step at a time, so it was very stable and solid. She would not be affected by anything. She would remain standing tall even if she encountered a torrential storm.
A person has to be real. That was the truth that Eevonne has arrived at. Respect was something to be won by one’s own effort.
"I thank you all. Thank you," Eevonne said sincerely. "I... even if I...were to resign from this place, I also felt like I had gained a lot. I’ve regained my dignity. Thank you all. But..."
She felt that since all these people helped her so much, she has the need to tell them the truth.
"But I didn't have a conflict with Mister Long because of work. I was...we were in a relationship six years ago.
Because I wanted him to like me back then, I lied to him. All of you know that I didn't even graduate from middle school, but I lied to him and the company saying that I was a college graduate. As you can imagine, it would be difficult for a person with a middle school level of education to pull off that lie."
Speaking of that, Eevonne laughed at herself and said, "I truly was fearless back then. I truly was not afraid of anything at all. I just lied.
"In the end, I truly shot myself in the foot."
Chapter 2665 "My boyfriend broke up with me. I was kicked out of the company. I didn't even stop here. I even kept pestering him and disturbing his life. So...” Speaking of that, Eevonne looked at her colleagues with an incredibly apologetic gaze. "So the fact that he felt like he was looking at a devil when he saw me now was not because of something that had happened at work.
Instead, he truly would take me as a devil. Also, all of these consequences are caused by me. He is a man with a very good character and is very hard-working at work. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the boss of the company in just five short years. This matter is indeed my fault. I can't blame others. I truly want to take the blame for this severe mistake and resign."
Upon saying that, Eevonne looked at all of her colleagues present, but none of them said anything. "I’m sorry, everybody. Did my words frighten all of you? I am really quite sorry. I truly was such a jerk in the past. I’m sorry."
She was feeling very calm. She had never done anything that went against her own conscience in this company anyway. In this company, she had never lied about her academic qualifications and had never lied to anybody. She rose to her position by starting as a tally clerk, which was the most entry-level position, so she was feeling very calm. It did not matter to her even if her colleagues did not accept her.
However, she never expected that the first colleague who spoke said, "Why are you so honest, Eevonne? All those matters are from eight hundred years ago. You didn’t hide or cover it up, and you even revealed all ancient histories again. Eevonne, I felt even calmer when I heard you saying that. Do you know what I did when I had just joined the Ford Group? I told the human resource department that my monthly salary in the past was twenty thousand dollars. In fact, let me just tell you, my monthly salary at that time was only four thousand dollars...” Eevonne was speechless.
"Eevonne, L.the college that I attended abroad is a... diploma mill."
"Well, Eevonne.,.1 kept saying that I’ve lost my diploma, but L.actually dropped out..."
Eevonne was speechless. It was after pausing for a long while that she said while feeling dumbfounded, "Why did all of you...all off you..."
In fact, only three of them were like that, the other people in the department were still normal.
These three people suddenly smiled in relief. "Society is so complicated in this day and age. Who doesn’t have a few private matters and stories that are too shameful to tell?"
Eevonne also smiled. They were right. Who would not have some private matters and stories? She did not harm anybody.
"Don’t go, Eevonne. All that is already in your past. It has nothing to do with you now. He doesn't understand how hardworking you are right now, so how can he just simply deny everything about you? Are you pestering him now? You aren’t, are you? Since you didn’t, since he is already doing quite well now, and he already has such a beautiful girlfriend now, he is not hindered in any way, so on what grounds could he still not spare you?
At best, both of you just don’t get involved with each other. Besides, haven’t you already apologized to him? Is he still not letting it go?"
Eevonne bit her lips. "I don’t know. I also don't know if he will still collaborate with our company. Forget it. I have done nothing wrong. If he is willing to collaborate with our company without me leaving, then I'm willing to apologize to him in front of everyone in our company and also his company.” Eevonne said the same thing to the director.
"Sir, I'll stay. Even though we're not going to keep their company, before we take the final step, we can't give up either. As long as he agrees to collaborate with US, I can promise him whatever terms he asks for."
Eevonne looked firmly at the director.
"You’re really very sensible, Eevonne. I'll call and talk to him now," said the director, who was already dialing Dash's number.
"You would rather keep her than collaborate with US. Do you know what she has done?" Dash asked furiously.
Chapter 2666 "Are you talking about her work or her personal matters? If you're talking about her work, Eevonne's performance in our company is favorable and her sales are outstanding. As for her personal matters, the Ford Group won't interfere with our staff's personal matters. I think that no company has the right to ask about other people's personal matters, right?" The director expressed his attitude very clearly to Dash.
Dash was stunned for a second. After a while, he said while feeling slightly unwilling to accept defeat. "Are you willing to give up on my clothing factory just to keep Eevonne?"
"We didn't say that we're giving up. As long as you're willing to collaborate with US, we still welcome you very much. However, our company would not be threatened by anybody on the outside, especially when it comes to protecting our own staff," stated the director again.
"Good! Great!" Dash sneered on the other end of the call.
The director did not question Dash about anything just because he sneered. Instead, he still asked with great patience, "Mister Long, what is the result after you've thought it over?"
"Of course, I will collaborate with you!” Dash said seriously over the phone. "The chance to collaborate with the Ford Group is something that we've fought for with all our might. How can we not collaborate with you?
Otherwise, I would not have taken the train in the middle of the night to come over. To show you the sincerity of our company, we even waited for you an hour earlier than our agreed time. We've already done so much. If we don't collaborate with you, then wouldn't all of the efforts we've put in in advance be in vain?"
Dash, who was on the other end of the call, was very pragmatic.
"That's fantastic then." The director felt relieved. He lifted his head to look at Eevonne and raised his eyebrows at her. What he meant was that it was a done deal.
"Mister Long, I know that you and Eevonne from our company had a conflict. How about this? I'll get another person to liaise with your company. This way, it won’t be awkward for both parties. Alright?" The director originally felt that he had already made a compromise with what he had just said. Besides, it was also for the sake of protecting Eevonne. Since Eevonne and Dash had such a conflict between them, then forcing them to liaise with each other would indeed make them feel disgusted. In the end, the work would often be affected. No matter which party could not make a mistake for such a big order like this.
The best way to not make a mistake was to remain calm and peaceful. If they wanted both parties to be calm and peaceful, then they simply should not have any interactions. Eevonne has agreed to switch her with another person anyway. Eevonne was even willing to resign for the sake of the company’s benefits, let alone switch her with someone else. There certainly would be no problem on Eevonne's end. She would obey very well. Dash absolutely would not want to see Eevonne as well, would he not?
The director was even waiting for Dash to express his gratitude to him by saying, 'Thank you. That's what I have in mind as well.’ However, what he did not expect was that Dash suddenly said, "No, Mister Cadigan! We are not that unreasonable. Eevonne was the one who was originally in charge of liaising with our company and also these orders, right? Then it's still going to be Eevonne now. There's no need to change."
"Are you...alright with that?" the director asked. He was slightly confused. Would it not be unhappy for the both of them?
Dash did not answer the director's question but he asked him in return, "Mister Cadigan, I would like to know how long has Eevonne been working in your department?"
"Less than a year," the director answered honestly.
"How is her work usually like?"
"She is very competent at work and she is very down-to- earth. Why is that, Mister Long? Do you have any questions?" the director asked in confusion.
"No. Thank you," Dash said politely.
"Then, it's all set then?" asked the director.
"Yes! It's all set," Dash said. The director felt relieved.
After he hung up the call, he lifted his head and looked at her. "Eevonne, I know that Dash is your ex-boyfriend and you don't really want to liaise with him, but he has agreed to collaborate with US now. However, he requested for you to liaise with him."
Eevonne was speechless. She felt nervous for some reason. All of that feeling of inferiority that was deep within her surged in her at that moment.
She could not help but swallow her saliva. "Mister Cadigan, L..I’m a little nervous. I...” "Don't worry. If there's any problem, the company will resolve it together with you," the director encouraged Eevonne.
Chapter 2667 Eevonne did not say anything anymore. To be honest, at that moment, as well as during the upcoming work, Eevonne wanted to run away as soon as she thought of having direct contact with Dash. The confidence that Sabrina had helped her build when Eevonne first met Sabrina was gradually collapsing again when she met Dash. She truly did not have the courage to face the unbearable past.
However, the more she did not want to face it, the more she could not hide away from it. In the past year, Eevonne rarely bothered Sabrina. Sabrina would call her from time to time to ask about her situation, but Eevonne knew that she could not bother Sabrina too much. Sabrina has three children to take care of. Her eldest daughter, Aino, was facing her examination and Sabrina’s own career was also very important. As an independent person, the thing she could not do the most was to keep bothering others. That was because everybody has their own things to do. Therefore, for more than one year in the past, Eevonne hardly went to bother Sabrina.
However, at that moment, Eevonne wanted to go to Sabrina very badly. She could no longer control herself anymore, and she was eagerly wanting to look for Sabrina. She wanted to obtain strength and confidence from Sabrina as she did more than a year ago.
After work, Eevonne took a bus in a panic and went straight to Sabrina's house. She had never been to Sabrina's house. When she saw that Sabrina’s neighborhood was so luxurious as if it was a wonderland on earth and was simply even more high- end than other mansions, Eevonne suddenly did not dare to step into the entrance of the neighborhood anymore.
It so happened that at that moment, a pure black car stopped at the entrance and a young girl came down from the car. The young girl was dressed very casually. However, it was that kind of casual dressing where one could still tell that she was wearing high-end brands. The young girl's face was very child-like and her cheeks were still very chubby.
That little face with chubby cheeks...
She looked very familiar. She looked...she looked similar to Sabrina. Eevonne immediately understood who the child was.
The child had already come to Eevonne. She was tilting her head very openly, and then she smiled very sweetly. "May I know if you are...Eevonne...
"Gosh, should I address you as Aunt Eevonne or just Eevonne? I should address you as Aunt Eevonne, right? You looked a few years younger than my real Aunt Yvonne. You're just thirty-one years old this year, right? I'm already fifteen, so you're only sixteen years older than me. However, should I just address you as Eevonne? You're now my Uncle Kingston's girlfriend. In the future, when you're married to my Uncle Kingston, I will have to address you as my aunt. Gosh. What to do?"
The intelligent and adorable girl was tilting her head and looked at Eevonne playfully.
Eevonne appeared a little shy. "May I know if you are... Miss Aino, no, I mean, the little princess?"
Aino burst out laughing, and then she nodded. "I feel very embarrassed for you to call me Miss Aino.
Forget it. I'll just first address you by your name like you're an elder sister to me. Eevonne, you can just call me Aino."
When she saw that Aino was so straightforward and also playful, Eevonne suddenly felt relaxed. She never expected that the daughter of the richest man in South City would be so easy to get along with.
She was not arrogant at all.
Eevonne smiled. "If I were to just call you Aino like you're my younger sister, then how should I address your mother?"
"You can just address her as Aunt Sabrina?" Aino burst out laughing. "If Madam Sabrina heard someone addressing her as Aunt Sabrina, I reckoned that she would be so angry that she would vomit three liters of blood."
A woman’s voice pretending to be serious could be heard asking from behind them, "Who's talking bad about me behind my back?"
Eevonne turned around and saw Sabrina, who had just come down from the car. "Sabrina."
"Eevonne, you're a friend that we couldn’t even get to come over even if we invited you. I’m guessing since you've come looking for me today, you certainly have something urgent, right?" Sabrina said jokingly.
Eevonne bit her lips. "Sabrina, I’m...scared."
Chapter 2668 Sabrina’s expression immediately became serious. " What are you afraid of?"
Eevonne just hung her head and she became a little down. Sabrina could tell that Eevonne was very nervous at that moment. After hanging out with her for more than one year, Eevonne left a very good impression on Sabrina. No matter what was the matter, as long as it was something Eevonne could resolve herself, she absolutely would not bother Sabrina with it, even though Kingston would tell Sabrina to help her every time he went out of town. However, Eevonne never asked for her help at all. That showed that this girl had great self- control and a great sense of self-awareness. She had never been willing to bother others.
However, things were different that day. Eevonne took the initiative to come looking for her and to tell her that she was very afraid. What kind of matter did Eevonne encounter? It must have been a very difficult hurdle for her to get over.
Sabrina walked up to Eevonne and wrapped a hand around her. "Eevonne, listen to me. No matter what it is, you won't be shouldering it on your own. You have friends in South City. You have me and you also have Kingston. Not only that, but you also have your family.
"Whatever trouble you've encountered, you can just tell me. We can resolve it together. Let's go. Follow me home with me.” Eevonne shook her head. She was afraid of Sebastian. At that moment, Sebastian was standing behind Aino and was looking at Eevonne without any expression on his face. Eevonne was feeling terrified. Was this the legendary Sebastian Ford? He was a middle-aged man, but he did not let himself go at all. He did not have a bulging belly at all, had a slender figure, and was very refreshed. He was very calm and collected and was exuding an incomparable might and coldness all over him.
Especially when both of his sideburns had some vaguely visible gray hair. Logically speaking, that should be a sign of someone gradually getting older. However, no matter how Eevonne viewed it, she felt that it was a kind of a symbol of a king. When she was standing in front of the richest man in South City and also the true mastermind behind the scene of the Ford Group, Eevonne's entire body was cowering.
Sebastian reminded her of the boss she had when she first made a fake diploma. Even though that boss was not quite like Sebastian, who very much has the air of a king, he was also very cold and serious. Eevonne was already nervous and worried, to begin with, but at that moment, all of her confidence was completely crushed.
She kept glancing at Sebastian, and then she glanced at him again. Then, she spoke incoherently, "Sabrina...no, no, no, I mean, Missus Ford, I...I truly have never thought of hiding my academic qualification in the Ford Group, and I've never thought of hiding all of my past. I truly have never thought of it. The job that I was doing at the very beginning was just doing odd jobs. It's...it was the director of the fashion department who saw that I was quite hard-working, so he promoted me. The director can’t be blamed for this either. In fact, I'm the one to blame! It's all my fault. Maybe I kept showing off and stealing the show in front of the director, so he felt that I was quite good and then he promoted me. It's truly not the director's fault. In short...in short, Missus Ford, it's all my fault. I..."
In the end, Eevonne's mind was already a mess. She had tears welled up in her eyes, and that kind of helpless expression instantly made Sabrina feel emotional.
Sabrina had also once had that kind of helpless, hopeless, and suffocating feeling.
Back then, she was in a dangerous situation in South City and she was putting everything on the line. There was no one to help her, and everybody wanted to have her killed. She felt that the people who were closing in on her from all directions were people who wanted to kill her. She felt that she was just like an ant that could be pinched to death by anybody. That kind of fear was buried deep within her heart.
However, Sabrina had always had the character of a brave warrior who would charge in an unavoidable confrontation. No matter how passive and how panicked the situation was, her mind was always calm. She knew she could only charge forward. If she could charge forward with her eyes closed and not fear anything, perhaps she may be able to open up a path to survival.
Chapter 2669 However, Eevonne was not like that. There would be a world of difference between two people’s characters in this world, to begin with. Eevonne's mind was not as strong as Sabrina’s. It was destined that with her character, she needed a strong example to give her encouragement. She needed a strong person to pull her up with great strength. Also, to tell her with certainty that she could do it!
"Eevonne, don't be afraid. Just listen to me. No matter what you are, you are God's precious. You are my friend. I will support you. I will always support you. You are a good girl. You’ve done a great job. You've helped four elderly people. You've never bothered me with anything at all. That shows that you’re very sensible.
You've always been honest and reliable in the company. You're diligent, and everyone in the company likes you very much. It’s because you've done too good a job that the director of the fashion department made an expectation and promoted you. You've also been doing very well in the fashion department as well. You're working hard to learn Spanish, to speak, and to translate. You were able to communicate with clients in pure Spanish recently. You're really great!"
Eevonne looked at Sabrina, crying. "But I've made too many mistakes in the past. I was too despicable back then. At that time, I had really pestered Dash like I was an insane person. In the future, how am I...going to communicate with him face to face? I...am simply a jerk. I was so disgusting back then.
'Ĩ don’t have a way to face him...” Eevonne sobbed.
"Just be normal. You have to think of all the ways to get over yourself and tell yourself that there is no conflict between you and him at all. He is just your client. Both of you are just working together." At that moment, Sebastian, who was standing behind Aino, suddenly took a step forward, stood in front of Eevonne, and spoke to her calmly.
’’Mister....Mister Ford...well, Mister ...Mister Ford. Am I... am I disturbing all of you? I'm...sorry. I..." Eevonne was so frightened that she did not know what to do.
"Listen to me, Eevonne!" Sebastian suddenly grabbed both of her shoulders and looked at her very seriously. "
You're the only person who could save yourself. Nobody in this world is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.
All those mistakes that you’ve once made are just a process to perfect you. That mistake that you made back then may have been a mistake to you. However, what about God? Perhaps your action of pestering your ex- boyfriend for more than a year was also very cute in God's eyes. At least that shows that you're a girl who values relationships very much, isn't it?"
Sebastian looked at Eevonne as if he was looking at a child. He had never comforted a girl like that before. He was thinking that it must be because he was getting older. He also felt that perhaps it was because Aino was gradually growing up.
In the near future, in another few years, Aino would also be entering the workforce. He was thinking that if Aino were to encounter a difficult situation one day, would there also be a wise person to give a few pointers to Aino? It was truly intriguing to be a father. Sebastian was so cold-blooded back then, but at that moment, he would actually help a girl so earnestly to get over the obstacle in her heart while standing in front of his own house.
Eevonne, whose eyes were all teared up, was stunned by what she heard. She lifted her head, looked at Sebastian, and asked haltingly, "Mister Ford, you actually didn't.Jook down on me?"
Sebastian smiled. He hardly smiled. However, he looked very much like a father when he smiled. He has an image of a reserved and irrefutable father, who was exuding a stern aura all over him.
Aino, who was standing next to her father, also smiled very proudly. Aino wrapped her hands around her father's arm and said to Eevonne in a relaxed and gentle manner. "Eevonne, you're really very cute. How can you be so pure?"
Eevonne lifted her head and looked at both Sebastian and Aino. "Both...both of you actually don't...dislike me at all?” Sebastian did not answer Eevonne's question. "Eevonne, you have to remember that you're a master in the Ford Group. You're the master. Do you understand?"
Chapter 2670 Eevonne could not help but repeat after him. "Master?
"You being the staff of the Ford Group is only just one of the reasons. What's more important is that you're Kingston's girlfriend. Both of you will get married in the near future. Then, the twenty percent of the Ford Group's shares that Kingston owned would also be yours. Say, are you not the master?" Sebastian asked while looking at her.
Eevonne was speechless. It was as if she was dreaming and she dreamed that she got a charm that could bring her advantages.
"Therefore, Eevonne, you have to put yourself in the position of the master at all times when you’re thinking about your problems. Everyone would feel inferior. For example, you feel inferior when you have an obstacle that you couldn’t get over. But have you ever thought of Sabrina? She also felt inferior. However, the situation that Sabrina was in at that time was at least ten times harder than yours, so she already had no time to care whether she was feeling inferior or not. She had to think of how to protect herself and the child in her belly at all times. She even had a brick, a small knife, and so on in her bag when she went out to work every day while pregnant. That was because she had to prevent her father from harming her. Tell me, could she still care if she was feeling inferior or not at that time? If we were to talk about the unbearable past. Back then, Sabrina was surrounded by all of the people in the high society of South City inside the hall of the Ford Residence as if she had been stripped naked, but she still had to face all of that. At that time, what Sabrina was thinking was not the feeling of inferiority. Instead, it was how she should deal with those people that she was facing properly. Do you understand what I mean?"
Sebastian looked at Eevonne with incredible patience. Eevonne was speechless. She seemed to have understood. However, she seemed to not understand it as well.
"You have to be heartless," Sebastian continued. That was the first time she had met this girl. However, he often heard from his wife that Kingston's girlfriend was very nice and very down-to-earth.
From all the things that Eevonne had done for Kingston, the Ford Group, and the Yates family over the past year, Sebastian could feel that she was a kind girl. She has many flaws. However, she has a very valuable strength. She was very kind and very honest. She was vain! However, she was not a girl with vicious intentions.
Also, she was very cowardly. She had only made some small mistakes. She just once lied to others about her college diploma, once got together with a boy, and then pestered him for a while because she did not want to break up with him.
That was enough to torture such a good girl into constantly feeling like she had done plenty of bad things in her life and had failed everyone in the world. What about people like them then?
Sebastian was destined to be involved in the brutal internal conflict of his family members from the time he was born. In the end, the price he paid was his mother's and brothers’ lives. Then, would not that mean that he was going to hell?
Eevonne was really extremely cute.
"Heartless?" Eevonne truly did not understand that.
"You should know about the Great Warrior, right?" Sebastian asked.
Eevonne nodded. "Yes, I’ve read about the Battle of the Kingdoms."
"The Great Warrior’s creed was that he would rather fail everyone in the world than to let everyone in the world fail him. Also, he has always been a person who knows his mistakes, and rectifies them, but never admits them. That was the way that made him great. Eevonne, as ordinary people, we can’t be like him who thinks about the world and never bothers with trivial matters. However, we also have to be like him and love ourselves.
