Chapter 527 Look Like Someone I Know
Viola glanced at Ormand.He knew the reason for her to do this, right? She was just afraid that Ormand was jealous.
"If I took the initiative to choose a gift carefully for Jerry, I'm afraid you would have been angry already, right?"Ormand lowered his eyes.He did not admit it, but neither did he deny it.He just joked, "Honey, you must be joking."
Viola scoffed.
"I didn't intend to buy any gift for Jerry from the start.I'll leave it to you to choose.You know how to pick up a gift for a man because you are a man.And the gift is a token of gratitude for his help in taking care of the babies.You should also do your best."
"All right."
Ormand agreed, but he gave Viola a strange look.He was confused.
And he wondered why Viola would choose the gift for Todd.
Todd was a man too.
Ormand shook his head helplessly.
He went to the famous watch shop and chose a nice golden black watch for Jerry.
After finishing choosing gifts, Ormand brought Viola to the women's clothing area and bought a few dresses.
All kinds of green colors...
Viola was speechless.
"Why do you only choose clothes of this color?"
Ormand smiled gently and said in a deep and pleasant voice, "Because you love green the most."
Viola didn't say anything.
Just because she liked it the most did not mean that she only wore clothes of this color.
Since she had promised Ormand last night, Viola did not say anything and accepted the clothes happily.
It had to be said that Ormand was good at picking up clothes, and the skirts were very beautiful.
After the proper selection, it was time for Ormand to be the most excited.
A racy lingerie shop...
Viola had never been to such a place before.
How embarrassing...
She blushed and stood 65 feet away from the shop while being unwilling to go further.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Ormand turned to look at her.
"How could a girl enter such a place..."
Viola felt it was a shame.
"I'll wait outside for you.You can choose according to your preferences.Come out to find me after you've bought it," she said forcefully.
Ormand didn't reply.
Ormand thought about it and decided not to force her to go to such a place because it was not proper for her to enter such a shop.
"Okay then.Don’t wander around.I'll go buy some cute little sets.It won't be long." Viola nodded.
After Ormand entered the shop, Viola found a resting seat by the railings of the commercial area and casually sat down to look at her cell phone.
After waiting for a few minutes, Viola heard the sound of high heels coming from afar.
Viola ignored it until the pair of white high heels reached her eyes.She followed the pair of beautiful legs and looked up.
It was Annie.
"What a coincidence.Hoare and I can meet you when we go shopping, Ms.McGraw.Hey, why are you alone? Where's Mr.Hobson?"
Viola sat leisurely.
She didn't get up.
The smile on her lips was relaxed.
"He went to buy something.Ms.Simpson, did you come with Mr.Moore? Why didn't I see him?"
"He went to the washroom.I'll wait for him outside."
Annie had exquisite makeup and a graceful smile.
"Do you want to have a seat? Let's chat for a while," Viola replied casually.
"It is an honor."
Viola moved to the side, and Annie gently sat down.
Between the two, there was a distance of the width of one person's shoulder.But the gap between them could never be crossed.
The quiet atmosphere lasted a minute.It wasn't until Annie took the initiative to speak that the awkward atmosphere was broken.
"Ms.McGraw, congratulations.The McGraw Group successfully acquired the foreign market and extended its business overseas by cooperating with Wolfdale Group."
Viola looked sideways at Annie's delicate and beautiful little face.Her tone was not too emotional.
"Thank you," she said.
"It's a pity," Annie said with a sigh.
"I'm afraid that the plan of the McGraw Group to expand overseas with Wolfdale Group will be ruined."
Viola narrowed her eyes warily while trying to see the expression on Annie's face.
"What do you mean?"
Annie smiled slightly with a hint of apology in her eyes.
"Last night, when I talked to Hoare about Wolfdale Group's project bidding, he felt that I had put in too much effort for this project.I didn't get it because you relied on connections.He said that he felt sorry for me and wanted to help me get the project back and snatch the right to cooperation back."
"Snatch the right to cooperation? From me?"
Viola sneered, "How did you make Hoare drunk and talk nonsense in bed? "Besides, my project plan has been revised countless times.And I stayed up late countless times.Unless I don't participate in Wolfdale Group's bidding, you will never have a chance."
In her career, Viola had always been meticulous and believed in her level and business ability.
Even if it wasn't because Ormand helped her secretly, the project plan she had personally written would be the best among the competitors.
Annie saw the arrogance on Viola's face.
"You look charming when you're confident.Unfortunately, when it comes to doing business overseas, no one could guarantee you'll dominate the market abroad.You should know that there is always someone better than you, Mr.McGraw."
Viola stared at Annie while thinking about the tone she felt familiar with.
"Ms.Simpson, the first time I saw you, I felt that you looked like someone I knew."
"Really? Who did I look like?"
Annie smiled joyfully.
"My younger sister."
Viola said lightly while sizing up every movement of Annie.
Annie was slightly surprised.
"Really? I'm so honored to be able to make you feel so close to me."
Viola burst into laughter.
"I don't like my sister.She's just the illegitimate daughter of the McGraw family and an ugly joker who wants to replace me.Nobody knows her existence."
Annie's smile faded gradually.
Soon, tears welled up in her eyes as she asked in an aggrieved tone, "So, are you using your sister to mock me? Do you mean that I don't know my limits?"
"No, I was just joking with you, Ms.Simpson.Don't take it seriously."
Viola continued with ridicule, "Your family background, appearance, education, and personality are all much better than my annoying sister.How can she be compared to you?"
Annie's expression finally relaxed a little, and she asked curiously, "It sounds like there's an unusual story between you and your sister.Can I ask about how she is now?"
"She's dead.There are no ashes, no portraits, and no cemetery.Her name and picture were left in the Lost Funeral Home by my brother.There are dead people whose ashes have no relatives to claim.They will never receive the care and incense of their loved ones.Even if they have consciousness after their deaths, they will be lonely."
"She's so pitiful," Annie said.
"She's not pitiful," Viola chuckled.
"She almost ruined the McGraw family.She deserved it."
Annie nodded thoughtfully.
Just as she was about to continue asking, Hoare arrived.
As soon as Annie saw Hoare, she flung herself into Hoare's arms with tears in her eyes.
"Honey, why have you been gone for so long? I miss you."
"It's all my fault for neglecting my little sweetheart."
Hoare kissed Annie as if no one was around.
The two kept doing that for a while before Hoare noticed the existence of Viola.
"Ms.McGraw.Nice to see you here."
Viola nodded with a smile politely.
Annie playfully played with Hoare’s golden beard.
Hoare let her do as she pleased while staring at Viola.
"Ms.McGraw.AN Group is very interested in this cooperation opportunity with Wolfdale Group.I wonder if you are willing to give up this chance.I am willing to introduce other cooperation to you as compensation."
