Chapter 118
Hearing Olivia’s introduction, the atmosphere in the design department became particularly tense.
This person and I had a grudge against each other, yet Olivia still brought her in. What was she thinking?
No one in the design department applauded, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
I calmly watched Gwendolyn and Olivia not speaking. Raven was a little confused. She was a little curious, but it was not easy to ask directly.
Olivia smiled disapprovingly and said, “Why do you not welcome my assistant designer?”
Everyone was dumbfounded and did not speak.
At this moment, Cole walked in from the outside and saw everyone looking strange.
Gwendolyn and Olivia turned their backs to him. He did not know that Gwendolyn was here, so he couldn’t help but say, “What’s
with your expressions?”
Raven did not know the ins and outs. When she heard Cole’s words, she said weakly, “Designer Olivia introduces her assistant
designer to everyone.”
When Cole heard this, his eyes fell on Gwendolyn beside Olivia.
Gwendolyn turned around and smiled at Cole: “Director Hopkins, hello, I’m Gwendolyn King”
Cole’s expression changed instantly, “You’re Olivia’s assistant designer.”
Gwendolyn smiled and nodded. “Yes, I think Strakovski’s assistant designer is recruiting. The contact person is Designer Olivia. I contacted her and came over. Do you have any questions?”
Cole looked at her and his expression changed, “No problem.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Olivia and said, “Olivia, come to my office.”
Olivia’s eyes flashed as she nodded and followed Cole to the director’s office.
As soon as the office door closed, Cole frowned and looked at Olivia, “What do you mean?”
Olivia looked innocent: “I don’t mean anything.”
Cole’s expression was a little ugly: “Last night, when Gwendolyn was causing trouble for me, I don’t believe you didn’t see it. You know that we don’t get along, and yet you still brought her into the design department. Are you trying to turn this place into a
battleground?”
Olivia disagreed. She stared at Cole: “Director Hopkins, let me ask you, are you partial or are you really thinking about the company?”
Without thinking about it, Cole said directly, “Of course, it’s for the company.”
Olivia sneered: “Really, but I feel that you are thinking about this from my interests. Gwendolyn is also from a jewelry family. I have tested her and she is fully capable of becoming an assistant designer. Besides, I’ve been working at Stratovski for so long, don’t I have the right to choose an assistant designer for myself?”

Olivia paused and looked at Cole’s handsome face, her eyes reluctant to look away.
She took a deep breath and said, “I remember that every designer at Stratovski has the right to choose their own assistants and assistant designers. Director Hopkins, are you going to disregard the company’s rules and regulations for me?”
Cole’s expression was ugly. “I just don’t want the company to become a place for private struggles. Also, the King family’s Bulgela jewelry conflicts with our Stratovski interests. Are you sure you want to use Gwendolyn?”
Olivia nodded: “I have already considered this. When Gwendolyn enters the company, she will sign a non–disclosure agreement. If she really stole the company’s secrets for Bulgela Jewelry, then her compensation will be Bulgela Jewelry’s profit. And, I promise you, she won’t be at work, like a shrew, arguing with me here.”
When Cole heard Olivia’s words, he had a headache. “Forget it, you can go out first.”
Seeing that he had compromised, Olivia couldn’t help but hook her lips. She raised her chin and walked out arrogantly.
When I saw her appearance, I knew that Cole agreed to keep Gwendolyn.
My eyes flashed as I lowered my head to draw the design.
As long as Gwendolyn didn’t take the initiative to provoke me, I was too lazy to answer.
At the same time, Stratovski was on the top floor.
Elias entered Lukas’s office and threw an invitation on Lukas’s desk: “The invitation to the King family’s dinner was given by Anthony Rivers when I was discharged from the hospital. I brought yours here. Are you going this year?”
The King family owned a hospital, so they could be considered neutral in Mediopolis, not offending anyone.
Anthony Rivers‘ mother turned 50 this Saturday.
When the King family held a dinner party, the most important people in the Mediopolis line would send invitations.
Lukas did not usually attend, so he only let his assistant present a gift.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know Anthony Rivers.
Lukas’s eyes sank. “Is Skylar going too?”
Elias was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Mmm, Skylar and Ava, received the invitation together with mine. Anthony wanted to give it to you when he came to take the jewelry, but I told him you were on a business trip, so I took it for you.”
Lukas nodded, his expression gloomy: “Since you have brought all the invitations, let’s go.”
Elias rested his hands on his desk and looked at him with a smile: “I say, you never went before, but could it be that you’re going this time because of Skylar!”
Before Elias could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lukas’s calm face: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Elias raised his eyebrows, “Okay, you’re just curious about the King family’s banquet this year, so you want to find out more.”
Lukas looked at Elias’s twitchy face, and his brows could not help but twitch, “Do you know how to speak?”

Elias laughed lightly: “I just meant to tease you. You don’t like Skylar anyway. Don’t be so serious.”

Chapter 118
Hearing this, Lukas’s mind couldn’t help but think of the dream last night.
His face was a little ugly. “Elias, I want to ask you a question.”
Elias pursed his lips, “What.”
“If a person clearly doesn’t like another person, why would he have a dream about her?”
“It depends on what kind of dream.” Elias’s attitude was serious.
Lukas frowned and was silent for a moment, then he said, “Just that kind of dream”
Elias really did not react. He was a little confused: “What kind of dream?”
Lukas stared at him with a dark face. “You can’t figure it out?”
Elias did not expect that the always cold Lukas would be talking about the kind of dream that a man would have.
He looked confused. “You should give me a direction.”
Lukas was a little impatient, and his tone was a little harsh: “A dream of intimacy.”
