Chapter 17/
Julie was waiting by the car. When she saw us coming out, she gave me a polite smile.
“You must be Miss Sullivan.“}
“Hello, I’m Julie Harris. I’m Mr. Ferguson’s assistant.“”
The female lead from the video stood before me and I still couldn’t treat her with a typical attitude. Seeing Julie’s poised and confident demeanour made me feel a little resentful.
I attributed this unpleasant feeling to envy. We were around the same age, yet she had already achieved success in her career while I was still struggling in the mire.}
I smiled and nodded at her, but deep down, I decided to return to the design world.”
With my talent, one day, I would stand shoulder–to–shoulder with Simon.”
“Because I’d dealt with Chelsea for so long, when I saw Julie reaching for the car door, I instinctively thought she would fight me for the front seat.
To my surprise, she smiled.}}
“Mr. Ferguson, Miss Sullivan, please sit in the back.”
I was taken aback; I hadn’t expected her to say that.”
Julie’s expressions and actions were so flawless that I even began to doubt if Maxwell’s words about her secretly being in love with Simon were true.
Simon seemed to sense my emotions and affectionately put his arm around me.”
“Suzanne, it’s windy here. Get in the car first.”
With Simon’s help, I nodded and got into the car from the right side.
A sudden sharp pain shot up my thigh and my face instantly paled.}
“Suzanne, what’s wrong?”
I was about to speak, but remembered Julie was still there, so I gently shook my head.
“I’m fine. It’s just that my wound is a little sore.“}}
Simon lovingly stroked my head and entered the car from the other side.}
The pain in my leg quickly disappeared. ! suspiciously patted the seat beneath me.
Strangely, it didn’t feel like there was anything that could have poked me.”
Could my wound have reopened?}
I shook my head, not wanting to dwell on it too much.
When the car came to a stop, I realized that Simon had brought me to a secluded place with hardly any houses around.} When we went inside, Julie stayed back, giving us privacy.
‘Mr. Ferguson, I’ll take my leave then. Please call me if you need anything.”
Simon waved, signalling for Julie to leave. The hum of the car engine faded away and the huge villa was left with just us.
*Suzanne, this is the wedding home I’ve prepared for us.“}
Simon pulled me along as he introduced the house layout one by one.”
Couple’s toothbrushes, couple’s slippers.”
Everything was a matching pair designed for couples. The decor was all in my favourite style and the flower room was filled with white
roses.
Simon took my hand and looked earnestly at the room full of white roses. “Their flower language is unwavering love.“}]
‘Suzanne, my feelings for you are the same.”
“From childhood until now, my love has never changed.”
I was already moved to tears, tightly embracing Simon.
I dug out my college design portfolio while Simon was in the shower that night. I sent my resume to a leading company in City All
My university was one of the best in the country and I had consistently ranked first in my major for four years. My advisor had repeatedly urged me to pursue further studies, but I had always refused.%
Now, I regret it a little. If I had listened and continued my education, things would be different now.
Simon came out after I had already put away my materials. I didn’t want him to know my plan to start working again.
I thought sweetly, wouldn’t it be even better to surprise him then?)
“Suzanne, wait a little longer. Once you’re completely recovered, we’ll have a wedding of the century”
I nodded, eagerly anticipating that day. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.!!
