Chapter 11

" Go away! " Ruby cursed, gritting her teeth. "Why are you so angry? Is it because the man didn't behave properly? Didn't he serve you generously that night? I warn you, you better be polite with me, or else I'll publicize your scam all over Elegant Creations!” "Kill me if you dare," Nora said with a self-satisfied smile. "Well, if you don't want to stay here, don't blame me for making arrangements to get you out." Ruby called the agent at the table and said to Mia, "Come here." In less than two minutes, Mia walked in. Ruby said directly, "This woman is not my guest. She is here to cause trouble. Send several security guards to escort her out." "Who said I am here to cause trouble? Today, I have come to invite you to design jewelry. Let's see who can drive the customer out of the store?" Nora said proudly. She placed one hand on the desk, pulling out a bracelet worth millions of Dollar. Ruby took a closer look and found that it was the same design she had made earlier… "Every designer has the right to refuse clients. I refuse to take you. Go away!” Ruby said impatiently. The atmosphere between the two became tense. Mia felt that a client was deliberately creating problems for Ruby. She pulled Ruby's sleeve and tried to persuade her. "Sister Ruby, don't be impulsive. What if she complains about you later?” Nora heard this and said, "Who is the boss here? I want to complain about Ruby. Why did she refuse to be an assistant and ask me to leave so harshly?” It was obvious that she was just here to cause trouble! The others were astounded by the prank. Ruby suppressed her anger and walked up to Nora and asked, "Are you leaving or not?” "Ruby, you're too arrogant! If you keep this attitude, I'll kick you out of this company today!" Nora threatened in a cold voice. After Nora plotted against her five years ago, Ruby hated this person so much. Now she had endured it over and over again, and Nora had gotten even worse? Who wouldn't be angry? Even if she lost this job today, Ruby had to teach this shameless woman a lesson! Ruby glared at her and raised her hand to slap Nora hard across the face. The loud slap echoed through the hallway. Nora's left face swelled up instantly, and she took two steps back in fear. Her eyes were filled with terror. "You, you, you... how dare you hit me?" she said in a trembling voice. She wasn't the only one who was shocked; everyone in the office was shocked. Although the company didn't say they weren't allowed to hit customers, no one was allowed to hit! Moreover, doing this in front of so many people was not acceptable at all. If the rabbit had gotten worried, it would have started biting too. Everyone knew that Ruby was not the kind of person to tolerate insults and humiliation. There was a new gleam in her eyes, and she was no longer going to show any sympathy. It was time for her to protect her self-esteem. She reached out and pulled hard on the chain around Nora's wrist. This woman was not worthy of her intentions at all! Nora was so scared that she kept backing away. She was afraid that Ruby would slap her in the face again. So, she covered her head with her hands and curled up on the ground like a turtle. The bracelet quickly broke, and the beads on it scattered on the ground. It was Nora's favorite bracelet. Although she did not know its true value, she treasured it very much and was always afraid of breaking it. At this time, the bracelet was broken, and he had no time to be afraid. She ran and got ready to confront Ruby. The two women started pulling each other's hair, and it looked like they would fight to the death. No matter how much people around them tried to persuade them, they were not going to leave each other. Suddenly, a calm male voice rang out, "Wait!" As Ruby turned her head, she saw Michael Carter standing not far away, his eyebrows furrowed. When Nora saw Michael, she was completely stunned. In a panic, she dropped her hands and covered her face, afraid that he would see her embarrassed look. She was also afraid that Michael Carter would dislike her for being rude. As soon as Michael Carter arrived, he pulled Ruby aside and asked angrily, "Are you done?" Seeing that they knew each other, Nora became even more nervous. She felt that her lie was about to be exposed. She was so nervous that she started trying to find a place to hide. But suddenly, Michael bent down and asked in a gentle voice, "Nora, are you okay?" Nora was stunned and instantly transformed into a different person. She said with tears in her eyes, "Michael, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, she would have beaten me to death." As she said this, she leaned into Michael Carter's arms and started crying, covering her face. Ruby really didn't expect that they not only knew each other, but also seemed very close. The sight of the two of them hugging each other was really amazing. The spectators could tell that Ruby had lost the game this time. She had upset Mr. Carter's wife, so she had to pack up and leave. After crying for so long, Nora finally realized that although Michael and Ruby knew each other, they didn’t know who slept with her five years ago! It seemed that this time, even heaven was helping her. "I'm here," Michael Carter comforted her in a soft voice. He picked her up gently and walked her in the direction of the elevator. Ruby looked at the two of them in great surprise. She sighed in her heart, "What kind of luck does Nora have to become Michael Carter's woman?" Could it be that Michael was blind? Nora was a very cunning and scheming woman. She really didn't know what she could do to attract Michael Carter. Ruby thought as she returned to the office, she was too lazy to care about the rumors here. In the President's Office… Michael Carter carefully placed Nora on the couch and watched as she grudgingly told him everything that had happened today. "Ruby... is my classmate. She and I had some misunderstanding before. I really liked her designs, so I asked someone to find this designer. I didn't expect that she would scold me the moment I walked in the door. I wanted to complain about her, but she came and wanted to beat me to death…” Everyone present there clearly saw how Ruby used to eat people. "When her mother passed away, her father did not care for her. Her family was very poor. There was no one to take care of her since childhood. When she was in school, she used to get into fights. She did all kinds of bad things. I just told her a few words, and she hurt me." Nora was deliberately badmouthing Ruby in front of Michael. "Okay, I'll give you an explanation for this matter." Michael Carter comforted her. "You can go and rest first." "Michael, have you thought about how to punish her?" Nora thought cruelly. It would be best if the Carter Group banned Ruby! No matter how talented she was, she could do nothing in the face of the power of capital. Michael Carter didn't answer her directly. Instead, he asked his assistant to come in and send Nora back to rest. Before leaving, she said pitifully, “Michael, I’ve suffered so much. You can’t let him go so easily! This kind of person has no manners at all. I am the one who was beaten today. Maybe tomorrow he will behave like this with a bigger customer.” Will Michael agree with Nora and punish Ruby?
