Chapter 44
Later, Betty Miller told her what happened in the end, that was why Josh Hunter was blamed by his family, but fortunately, the Mo family knew that they did the wrong thing too, so they just let this thing over. But Diana Swift didn't continue to look at it.
She stared at the messages, and did not blink, her thoughts seemed to be stuck in a vicious circle. She doubted the questions that she had confirmed before.
Bonnie Smith saw her staring at the phone in a trance, stretched out her hand, and shook it in front of her, "What's wrong with you?"
Diana Swift raised her head, stared at her for three seconds, and suddenly said, "Josh Hunter beat someone and that guy was in the hospital right now, all he did was because that guy had said something bad about me."
"What!" Bonnie Smith choked on Diana Swift's words before she could swallow the porridge.
Listening what she said, Diana Swift did not stared at the screen anymore.
Well, Diana Swift thought that there has to be something wrong, probably that fat man had scolded him by the way. How could someone like Josh Hunter would pick a fight with others? Not to say that he did it for her.
Although she was convincing herself this way, Diana Swift was still happy all morning.
Those 'best friends' of Diana Swift were always getting the news quickly, and they always act pragmatically.
A few days ago, apart from the invitations of some brands, no one invited Diana Swift to attend those private parties. But this morning, those so-call her 'best friends' would invite her to attend the social events and kept asking her questions.
[Hi darling, there will be a new product exhibition in my store tomorrow. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you free lately? Maybe I could have someone to pick you up! ] -This was a message from Fiona, the daughter of the chairman of Gan's Group, a company that specialized in catering.
Fiona studied jewelry design abroad for two years and returned to China to create her own jewelry brand. However, due to her lack of talent, the products she designed were always similar to the products of some classics, and all the jewelry was quite expensive.
However, her flattering was worked for Diana Swift. Diana Swift would pick out a few pieces of jewelry in her store because of her words, but she has never worn them before, sometime she would give them away or put them in her cabinet.
[Diana, the last stop of my concert is back in P City. I have reserved a VIP seat for you at the Sports Center this Saturday night. You should come when you are free. I miss you so much! ] - This was a message from Echo, the youngest daughter of the Archer family. All her family was professionally involved in the music business.
The Archer family has deep attainments in traditional national musical instruments. They were all famous teachers. She was the only one who learned the piano. Although her family tried their best to cultivate her, she didn't get the talent, and she has never achieved any outstanding results. However, she was petted at home and took great pains to start a world tour of piano playing for her.
There was a lot of news like this, and Diana Swift could know what it was without reading it all.
After all, five of the ten celebrities were fashion designers who worked on their own, and the other five were either jewelry designers or musicians, and they would hold art exhibitions. It didn't matter if they were professional or not, what matters was that the jobs were decent.
Usually, Diana Swift didn't like these people who call themselves designers, because they were not professional enough. But today, she suddenly thought of herself. She thought that even though they were not professional enough, they still tried their best to run their business, and they were better than her for doing nothing.
Not knowing what she recalled, she suddenly put down the phone, sat in front of the computer, and typed on the keyboard seriously.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, when Diana Swift was about to get up from the computer and go to the refrigerator to get a cup of yogurt, the unlock sound had come from the door.
She looked up and found that it was Bonnie Smith.
"You got off work so early today?"
Diana Swift was surprised.
Working in the fashion magazines like "Zero Degree", it was normal for working overtime. She had never seen Bonnie Smith get off work at the normal time before.
Bonnie Smith didn't answer, but mysteriously changed her shoes at the door and came to her side immediately, and asked her abruptly, "What are you doing."
"I'm just sorting out some of the design works I've done before." Diana Swift shot Bonnie Smith a glance, because her behavior was weird, "What's wrong with you?"
Bonnie Smith looked at her, and couldn't hide her emotion. She snickered, and her hand behind herself suddenly took out a delicate blue velvet Jewelry box and shook it.
Diana Swift was stunned when she saw it.
Bonnie Smith put the jewelry box on the table reverently, and opened it solemnly, then stood up again, folded her hands, and placed them on her lower abdomen, imitating Sam Rodriguez's tone and saying, "Miss Smith, Mr. Hunter recently has auctioned a pink diamond ring. I mean, it's the fancy pink diamond that his wife liked very much last year. After re-cutting, the color grade has been upgraded to fancy vivid pink, and it has been modified according to Mrs. Hunter's size. Please give it to her for me."
Diana Swift stared at the ring on the table for a while. The oval-shaped diamond ring with delicate facets of light was so attractive.
After Bonnie Smith imitated Sam Rodriguez, she sat down next to Diana Swift excitedly, and said excitingly, "You don't know how nervous I just came back with this ring! Fortunately, your husband's assistant let the bodyguards drive me home! I just checked its price in the car, do you know that this ring sold for 32 million dollars! It's still US dollars!" She bent her elbow and teased Diana Swift, "Your husband loves you so much!"
Diana Swift stared at the ring and didn't look away for a while.
"To be honest, I think your husband is not that bad. He is handsome and capable, and he is not violent in any way. Although won't always agree with you, he still values you very much. He can give this kind of ring to you as soon as possible if you want it. And usually, no matter what you want, he would buy it for you without saying anything ."
She didn't know why Bonnie Smith would say these words for Josh Hunter when she backed home, and it was like she was going to take Diana to his house right away.
In fact, Diana Swift hesitated for a while when she knew this message from Betty Miller this morning. And now, when she stared at the pink diamond, she hesitated again.
She took the ring out of the box and tried it on.
The light of the evening sunset is only a pale beam, with some resting dullness, while the pink diamonds shine brightly, each facet is shiny, and a small circle of broken diamonds set next to it reflects the dazzling brilliance with the slight curvature of the finger bone.
It was so beautiful! This must be a ring belonging to a fairy, and it was as outstanding as her pretty.
Diana Swift was intoxicated by the ring, and Bonnie Smith kept telling her to get back with Josh Hunter, all she could remember was when she asked 'When are you going back?'. This sentence just like a boom suddenly pulled her back to reality.
She was thinking that how could he think that only did he give her a ring then she must have to go back?
"Who said I want to go back?"
"I won't go back! Did he want to let this thing over just by this broken ring?"
"Last time I wanted to divorce him and he took a bracelet as present. Did it the only thing he could do?"
Bonnie Smith stopped talking when she heard what Diana said, and then continued, "This ring is much more expensive than that bracelet, it represents his sincere."
Diana Swift took off the ring and looked at it, suddenly reasoning on her own, and came to a conclusion, "He probably didn't do anything bad last time, so the bracelet he gave me last time was not that expensive. But looking at the ring he gave me this time! Does it mean that he is guilty? That scumbag!"
Bonnie Smith was speechless by her words.
What a genius!
With this thought, Diana Swift was even more certain of her determination not to go back. She closed the ring box angrily, threw it into a small drawer, and never look at it again. Then, she straightened herself and sat in front of the computer, and continued to organize her work.
In the early next morning, the executive morning meeting once a month was held in the head office of Lux Hotel Group
Josh Hunter who sat at the front of the conference table dressed in a white-lined suit and wore a pair of pale gold thin-rimmed glasses.
After his employees finished the reports, he said directly without looking at them, "Mr. Hawk, I'm very curious about who promoted you to your position today. When you are reporting, the words you said were some ambiguous vocabulary. Lux Hotel Group doesn't need a person like you. You might as well study with the training procedure again with those Management Trainees."
"And the entire enterprise propaganda department, the plans that came out for two consecutive months are not creative enough. Lux Hotel Group is not the Nursing Home, you should quit the job if you can't figure out the new ideas."
When he criticized people, his voice was always cold and low. His voice was nice if he didn't criticize them.
Everyone was trembling in the meeting, and when it was over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Josh Hunter went back to the office directly, while Sam Rodriguez stayed in the meeting room to pack up his notebooks. Someone couldn't help but ask Sam Rodriguez, "Mr. Rodriguez, what's wrong with Mr. Hunter these days? He was weird lately."
Josh Hunter was cold and alienated on weekdays, but his words and actions were gentle, it was completely different from today. And Mr. Hawk, everyone in Lux Hotel Group thought that she was charming, was criticized mercilessly by him.
Sam Rodriguez smiled but didn't answer.
Mr. Rodriguez was good at keeping secrets, and it wasn't surprising to others that he didn't tell them anything. So they just went back to work.
In fact, Sam Rodriguez felt aggrieved. After all, as a personal general assistant, he has to always bear his anger.
As soon as he left the conference room, Sam Rodriguez found an empty corner and called his subordinates.
"Has the news spread? Does the Miss of the Miller family know about Lux Hotel Group has withdrawn the capital and Mr. Hunter has a fight with others?"
"You did? Then why did Mrs. Hunter still not come back?"
"Did Mrs. Hunter go out today? She's not returning the ring back, right? "
After he hung up the phone, Sam Rodriguez felt even more uneasy in his heart. He couldn't understand why Diana Swift would act in this way this time. And at that moment, he felt so nervous on the way to the CEO's Office.
Josh Hunter still sent gifts to Diana Swift in the following week, and Diana Swift received them but did not say anything to him.
Sam Rodriguez couldn't help but remind Josh Hunter that it was not sincere enough if he just kept sending gifts, he needed to meet her, at least he needed to call her.
But Josh Hunter just glanced at him indifferently and did not do anything.
What Sam Rodriguez didn't know was, that Josh Hunter would drive to the Star Park and stop across the road in the middle of the night, and quietly looked at the window.
Every time he stopped there, he seemed to be able to think clearly about something. And he has figured out something but he didn't want to admit it.
He was the one who didn't have any feelings for Diana Swift at first.
This week, Diana Swift has reorganized her designs in detail and made a resume that combined her academic qualifications and honors when she was at school. And she put it on the Internet to take up interior design work.
But as Bonnie Smith said, her design direction actually overlaps with her social circle. People in this social circle would only cooperate with those designers that were introduced by acquaintances, otherwise, those famous designers were their first choices.
She put her information on the internet for a week, but no one came to inquire.
In the middle of the night, Diana Swift sat in front of the computer and was frustrated.
This whole week, she wanted to buy anything, but she didn't. And her money still got the loss.
At the same time, all kinds of thoughts popped into her head, that made her feel exhausted.
Bonnie Smith was so tired from work that she went to bed immediately when she got home at night. Diana Swift sat in front of the computer for a while, then suddenly got up, took the key and mobile phone in her hand, and quietly went out.
Diana Swift had never walked into the mini-mart before, but recently she liked it so much. And the cashier already recognized her.
She bought a small cup of vegetarian oden, and also bought a salted egg yolk ice cream, and then sat on the stone bench by the roadside and took a sip while blowing the night breeze. She ate the food in small bites.
The street lights fell intermittently from the treetops to a warm yellow halo. After she finished eating the last spinach, she peeled off the ice cream, not hurrying to eat it up. Suddenly, she missed Josh Hunter so much.
It was only ten days, but it seems to be longer than the two years he went to Australia.
She didn't know why she would miss him. He was always so indifferent, he only cook short ribs to coax her when he wanted to have sex with her, and he disliked her design and let her kneel down to the Potala Palace so many times......but she still missed him.
After a while, Diana Swift felt a little cold, thinking that throwing the ice cream would be a waste, so she got up and was about to go home, then she didn't need to stay outside.
But when the moment she stood up from the stone bench, she seemed to sense something, and subconsciously looked across the road, her heart flipped so fast unexpectedly.
But before she could find anything, new messages came in on WeChat, from Chris Chou, a Chinese designer whom she hadn't contacted for a long time.
Chris Chou: [Diana, I wonder if it is convenient for you recently? I'm coming to P City for the show. The show held in the M City you designed for me is the most bravo show I have seen in recent years and the most relevant stage to my work. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you again. This is the related information, I look forward to hearing from you soon.]
Diana Swift was surprised by the message, and she clicked the link below.
She hadn't looked carefully, but when she saw the place of the show, she was shocked.
Seriously?
She didn't hesitate for a while, ate up her ice-cream immediately, and then went back to the apartment.
Josh Hunter sat in the car and kept looking at her until she entered the building.
He leaned against the car, and looked up at a small window, which with the light on. Josh Hunter suddenly remembered the way she looked when she ate the food beside the road, it seemed that something was distributing him.
His canary seemed to quietly open the cage and want to go to the outside world.
