Chapter 12

“Let's go back and rest first," Michael Carter said in a soft voice. This was the first time he was so patient to persuade Nora even though she was so excited. Nora felt she could do it. With time, she would definitely be able to win Michael's heart. It was just a matter of time before she married into the Carter family. Besides, she was an expert at acting like a bitch since childhood. That was her specialty. Don't men like obedient, sensible and considerate women? "Ruby, just wait until you lose your job!" Nora said to herself, smiling. Soon, Michael Carter's assistant went down and informed Ruby to go to the president's office. Since they were done fighting, it was time for him to take responsibility. "If the worst happens, I'll resign. What else can I do?" Ruby fearlessly walked into the elevator, went to the top floor, knocked on the door, and walked in. Michael Carter looked at Ruby coldly, and a strong sense of oppression filled his entire body. "Give me an explanation." Michael said. "Explain what?" Ruby replied. Anyway, Nora was his girlfriend. He was going to save her and take out his anger for her, right? Did Ruby need an explanation? "What do you want me to say?" Ruby didn't want to say anything more to him. "Ruby, as a jewelry designer, how can you beat up customers during working hours? Shouldn't you give an explanation?" Michael Carter asked. "Yes, I hit him." Ruby admitted straight away. "Then why did you hit someone? Was it because he complained about you?" Michael said. "He deserves a beating! With his words, he provoked me and insulted me. If I don't take action, I'll be called an idiot and be at his mercy, right?" Ruby had no regrets about beating him. Michael Carter's understanding of him was rekindled. This kind of person who did something wrong but did not repent was really a headache. "Ruby, if you are willing to admit your mistake, then you have to apologize," Michael said. "Why should I apologize?" Ruby said confidently, "In this life, I can't apologize to Nora!" "Ruby, this is a company. There are rules and regulations. You can do whatever you want, but in your own home. Not here!" Michael Carter was very disappointed by her stubborn attitude. It was obvious that Ruby had done something wrong, but she was the most sensible. No one could control her spine. "Okay, I'll resign," Ruby said indifferently. She had been prepared for the worst before it arrived, but at this point it was too easy for her to tell. "Ruby!" Michael Carter called her name helplessly. She didn't want to see the man anymore. Since she knew he was Nora's boyfriend, she didn't really like Michael Carter at all. "I didn't say I wanted to drive you away. You can continue to stay here, but you can't turn away any more customers in the future," he said. He never thought of firing Ruby. After all, she was the daughter of her savior. Since Mr. Carter didn’t pursue the matter and even offered her a way out, she would naturally not go against him anymore. "I have to remind you that Nora is a very scheming person. You better be careful," Ruby said. "You're the one who caused trouble in the first place!” Michael Carter reminded her in a cold voice. Ruby sneered. To deal with a scoundrel like Nora, she would beat him up every time she saw him. However, the man was blind and did not listen to her advice. So she didn't say anything more. When the audience saw Ruby return to the office, they were all stunned! "She doesn't even have a symbolic cut?" She was Mr. Carter's girlfriend. Mia asked nervously, "Sister Ruby, are you really okay?" "What could it be?" Ruby said indifferently. She picked up the pen and continued to draft her design. If she wanted to keep this job, she had to rely on her own strength. "What are people outside talking about?" she asked casually. Mia said helplessly, "They said you have a supporter. Even Mr. Carter is afraid of you. Some people say you are Mr. Carter's girlfriend. Mr. Carter's girlfriend deliberately came to the company to cause trouble because she knows about your relationship." It was true that all sorts of rumors could be made up. Ruby really admired people's imagination. Victoria also asked him to come to the office. Her words and words reminded him not to fight anymore. If she dared to hit someone again, she would leave immediately. After being scolded twice a day, Ruby was very unhappy. "That's enough for me," he thought, "now I have to take charge of my situation and move on." After returning to the office, he answered a phone call."Hello?” "What happened to you? Who provoked you?" came a clear voice, sounding concerned. "I'm a little tired from work," Ruby replied calmly. "I'll be back in a few days. There's a top jewelry show this Saturday. I have an invitation for you. You can go and see it. Maybe it will inspire you," said the voice on the other side of the phone. "Thank you. What time is it on Saturday?" Ruby was so happy that she felt energized. "It starts at eight in the evening and ends at ten. You'll have to find someone to look after Aaron," she said. "I'll call my dad later. He'll take care of him," Ruby thought. She knew her father loved Aaron and would definitely help him. "Well, don't forget the time. When I come back, I'll treat you to a nice meal," the man said. "Okay," Ruby nodded happily. While she was abroad, she met a great man, Jacob. He was a second-generation wealthy man with a good background. He had come to Ruby's aid when she was going through the toughest time. The more Ruby thought about it, the more she looked forward to Saturday's Jewellery show. Even though she couldn't afford it, she could see that it would be an important experience for her. She hoped that going on the show would help her rediscover her interests and find new inspiration. "This is a great opportunity," she thought, "I should try to incorporate this into my life.” At the villa halfway up the mountain.. Nora looked at herself in the mirror. Her face had been swollen all day. Despite applying ice cubes for a long time, she couldn't get rid of the pain. All of this pain was because of Ruby! "One day, I will give back everything that I had," she thought, her eyes sparkling with vengeance. She leaned on the sofa and then she saw a news item. It was an invitation to a jewellery exhibition shared by a famous actress.Only people of high status could enter such a jewelry exhibition. It was a symbol of the upper class. It had always been Nora's dream to become a member of the upper class. Furthermore, she specifically wanted to integrate into Michael Carter's life circle and strived to become a well-educated, wealthy woman. That was why she was even more excited to attend this Jewellery exhibition. "This could be a golden opportunity for me," she thought to herself. "If I get to this exhibition, I can strengthen my position and maybe get closer to Michael." Nora had made her intentions clear. This exhibition was not just an opportunity for her, but the first step towards her ambitions. She promised herself that she would try to reach there at any cost. Will the truth about Nora never be revealed to Michael?
