Chapter 45 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

When Nevaeh heard this, she could not hold it in anymore. “Kendrick, I came looking for you the moment I woke up. I haven’t even had breakfast yet. What should I do if you leave?”

Kendrick did not turn around. “You can use this time to have breakfast.”

“…” Nevaeh stood on her ground with a dazed look. She watched as Kendrick ignored her and walked toward Niamh instead. She grabbed her purse tightly, feeling as if she was about to explode.

Niamh was surprised about Kendrick’s actions as well. However, it seemed like he was being serious. When he walked past her, he intentionally slowed down and looked at her profoundly. “Come with me.”

Niamh did not understand why Kendrick was doing this, but when she saw Nevaeh’s livid face, she smiled and cooperated. She got into Kendrick’s car.

To prevent any unnecessary arguments, Niamh did not say anything the entire way. Kendrick did not say anything as well.

Niamh stole a glance at Kendrick and saw his gorgeous side profile that was abnormally icy.

She recalled the times she stole glances at him when they were in university. She did not know how many times she did that before. Even though the feeling when she had a crush on him was not the best, it was beautiful and pure.

However, she could not go back to those times anymore.

Her heart would not skip for any kind of sweetness anymore. There was only a lamentable rhythm left.

After Niamh spaced out for a while, she realized the car had already stopped. They were at Waldburg Corporation.

She looked at Kendrick in confusion. However, he got out of the car before her and walked to the passenger seat. Then, he opened the door for her.

She thought this man offered to drive her here out of kindness, but it turned out that it was because of convenience. However, it was fine. Felipe’s office was just in front. She just needed to cross the street.

Niamh got out with her bag. “Thank you, Mr. Waldburg.” She thanked him and turned around.

“Where are you going?” Kendrick’s deep voice sounded behind her again. “From now on, you’ll be working here.”

Niamh thought her ears were deceiving her again. She looked at the frigid man. “Mr. Waldburg, if you lack manpower, I suggest you put a recruitment ad online.”

“Niamh, don’t make me repeat myself.” Kendrick frowned, a layer of frost on his face. “Don’t you like jewelry designing? Waldburg Corporation has the best environment for you to unleash your potential.”

It sounded extremely attractive, but it also sounded like a fantasy.

“Did you suddenly find your conscience, Mr. Waldburg?” Niamh laughed and looked at him with sarcasm in her eyes. “I like jewelry designing, but I like the feeling of being trusted more.”

After Kendrick heard that, he was taken aback.

Niamh smiled even wider now. “Mr. Waldburg, when have you ever trusted me? Did you believe me when I was accused of plagiarism three years ago? No, you didn’t.”

She answered for him. Then, she chuckled in self-mockery.

“So, please don’t recruit someone who has a history of plagiarizing just in case your company gets into trouble when I plagiarize other people’s work again.”

After she finished saying that, she saw Kendrick’s face turn extremely dark. It looked as if a storm was coming.

Niamh’s heart skipped a beat as she turned around quickly. She was scared that her fake smile would be exposed if she was a second too slow.

When the light turned red, Niamh could not help but turn around to look at where Kendrick was with the corner of her eyes.

He was still standing there while looking at her.

For some reason, he looked a little melancholic at this moment.

Niamh averted her eyes and walked across the crosswalk. However, it was as if she could feel Kendrick staring at her.

Did he finally find his conscience and was feeling remorseful about that dead child?

Hehe.

Niamh felt aggrieved now. How would he feel remorseful?

Even if he did, it was already too late.

…

Niamh slowly got used to her new working environment. Her colleagues were friendly and they were discussing a celebration for Niamh the newbie during lunch.

When it was lunchtime, everyone was discussing what they wanted to eat when the department manager, Elizabeth Snow walked over.

Elizabeth was very beautiful and young. She was dressed in a very stylish outfit as well. When she walked in, she clapped her hands and said with a serious face. “We just accepted a very important project. The current rising influencer, Lolly Tate is about to get engaged with her boyfriend. They came to Mr. Waldburg and asked us to design a pair of couple rings, a necklace, and a bracelet for them. They placed a ten-million-dollar customization fee. If we have this deal, our department can get a 10% award bonus.”

“Wow!”

“Does it mean every one of us will get tens of thousands?”

Everyone was elated and Niamh felt excited as well. She loved jewelry design and she only liked it because of Kendrick.

“So, you guys should just have a simple lunch and don’t eat out. We only have one month.” Elizabeth told them that they did not have much time. “Please look at the requirements for the project that I just sent to your emails.”

Everyone understood, but the huge bonus also played a huge part in this. They felt that anything would taste delicious when they got that money. So, everyone went back to their work stations.

Niamh was not hungry so she opened her inbox.

When she was about to read the content, Elizabeth walked to her.

“Are you Elizabeth Delgado?” She asked.

Niamh stood up quickly and smiled. “Hello, Miss Snow. I’m Niamh Delgado.”

“So it’s you…” Elizabeth started looking at her up and down in interest.

Niamh felt uneasy but she still maintained her polite smile. After a while, Elizabeth asked in curiosity, “I heard you served three years in prison because of plagiarism, is that true?”

After she said that, the office plummeted into silence.

More than then employees looked over at Niamh at the same time.

Designers looked down on people who plagiarize the most. Niamh could feel her colleagues who used to treat her pleasantly all looking at her differently now.

Niamh kept her cool and continued smiling. “I never plagiarized.”

“If you didn’t, why did the judge declare you guilty?” Elizabeth asked. She raised an eyebrow. “Never mind, you’re fortunate that you have support, but I want to remind you that I look down on plagiarizing thieves the most. Now that you’re in my department, don’t try to do what you did before. If not, I won’t go easy on you.”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. After she warned Niamh, she walked away while clicking her heels.

Niamh stood on her ground and felt her colleagues looking at her with suspicious gazes. She felt aggrieved and helpless.

God loved playing tricks on her. She just saw the light and now he decided to put it out.

She sighed softly in self-mockery. She walked to the door to get some air. When she got to the door, she saw someone walking toward her.

Niamh was beyond shocked when she saw her.

It was Eloise.

When she saw Eloise, she felt an unknown friendliness rising in her chest. Even though their relationship was a little rocky because of Nevaeh, Niamh still greeted her politely. “Mrs. Montgomery.”

However, when Eloise saw Niamh, her face fell. She lifted her hand and slapped Niamh across the face immediately.

When everyone in the office saw this, they ran out to watch what happened in shock.

Niamh clutched her aching right cheek. She was confused.

“Niamh, you vile woman! You evil witch!” Eloise shrieked as she pointed at Niamh’s nose.
