The Good Girl's Revenge

Derek added, "The design manuscript is very good. If we win in the end, it will be a good promotion for our cooperation.”

Speaking of cooperation, Nora became more serious and nodded, "Okay, I'll do it when I go to work tomorrow.”

"Yeah."

The promotion of the collaboration was just a pretext. Derek had asked Damian to investigate Nora and read Nora's previous works. He knew she was very talented in design.

Perhaps because of the small size of the SPECTER Group, or perhaps for some other reason, Nora did not have any record of winning, which made him very confused.

As a designer, fame was very important. Fame came from awards, and awards came from competitions. Derek hoped to make Nora more famous so that her career would be much smoother.

The next day.

Nora took a good look at the competition Derek mentioned. With one day to go before the competition closed, she immediately sent the manuscript electronically.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp glance behind her as she had always been sensitive. She turned around and saw Avril in a daze.

Since last week's competition, they hadn't seen each other for days because Avril asked for leave. Avril folded her arms around her chest, still looking very proud. However, Avril looked at Nora in a strange and unpredictable way. Nora did not know what Avril meant, but she knew that Avril must still be thinking about the competition.

Nora pursed her lips and looked away to continue her work.

Even though she had a good temper, she was not a coward. The last time she beat Avril fair and square. No matter what the other party thought, she had a clear conscience.

In the afternoon.

As soon as it was time to come off duty, the people in the Design A Department left one after another. Soon, Nora was alone in the office.

Thinking about her return last night, she decided not to work overtime. It was the same for her to take her work back to do it. After packing up, she stood up and went to the bathroom.

Nora did not notice that there was someone quietly following her.

Avril stood outside the bathroom, listening to what was going on inside. She narrowed her eyes and walked in with her lips curled.

She took the mop from behind the door, quietly inserted it into the handle of the door and it stuck. Then she stood on the stool with a bucket of cold water. She poured down the cold water without hesitation.

"Ah..."

Avril threw the bucket away, clapped her hands, and listened to the screams inside. A glimmer of satisfaction flashed through her eyes. She walked out leisurely in her high heels, turned on the fan in the bathroom and turned off the light.

Design Department had four sectors, occupying two floors. There are two sectors on each floor, one to the left and one to the right, with a space between them

The A Department was quite large, and the bathroom was at the end of the department corridor. The employees were off work. It could be said that Nora couldn't get any help.

At this moment, Nora was drenched, and the cold water made her shiver. The exhaust fan behind her whirled quickly, and the wind blew on her, making her feel cold.

Although it was summer, she still felt cold.

There were a lot of water and broken ice on the ground. She took a deep breath and tried to open the door, but found that even if she opened the bolt, she couldn't open the door.

Nora's eyes widened. Finally, she panicked and kept banging on the door.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone out there? Someone here is locked. Anybody? Help..."

There was only her voice in the empty bathroom. As soon as she stopped, it was very quiet. Nora's face became paler and paler, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or because of the panic.

Suddenly, she stepped on a piece of broken ice. She slipped and fell to the floor.

On the top floor, Derek called Nora but got no answer, so he came to the Design Department. He was going to send her back today.

The big Design A Department was quiet and there was no one there. He walked over to Nora's desk and saw that everything was in order. Nora's bag was still there, and her phone was on the table, but he didn't see Nora.

“Nora, Nora?"

Derek called his men and frowned when he learned that Nora had not left the Xavier Group.

When he walked out of the Design Department, he suddenly stopped and looked at the end of the corridor. His hearing was so good that he could hear everything clearly. Besides, it was very quiet. He walked over, and the sound grew louder, which was like a knock on the door. The bathroom was dark, but he could see that one of the doors was stuck with a mop.

He suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. He turned on the light and strode in.

"Nora? Are you there?"

When Nora heard his voice, she was stunned and immediately excited. She had a lump in her throat and she could not help but sob out, “I, I'm here. I'm inside.”

Derek opened the door and his face clouded over when he saw what was going on inside.

Nora crouched in a corner, pale, wet, and embarrassed.

He went in, picked her up, and walked away without saying anything with a straight face.

Nora leaned into his arms and heard his steady heartbeat. When she raised her eyes slightly, she could see his firm and cold chin.

In an instant, the inexplicable sense of familiarity rose from her heart again. This strong feeling not only reassured her, but also somehow made her feel sad and wronged

She took a deep breath and immediately looked up, trying her best to hold back these emotions. "Mr. Xavier, I can..."

"Shut up," Derek said coldly.

In an instant, she couldn't say anything.

Derek's office was large and there was a lounge.

He put her on the bed and brought a towel to wipe her.

He did it naturally, but Nora felt a little awkward. She stood up abruptly and took a step back, "Mr. Xavier, I'll do it myself."

Derek squinted at her for a while and handed her the towel.

"You need to change your clothes. Go to the bathroom and take a bath. I'll get someone to prepare a new set of clothes for you."

Nora was embarrassed, but that was the only thing she could do now. Besides, her clothes were very thin, so it was better to change.

She nodded, "Mr. Xavier, thank you."

In the bathroom, when Nora looked at the large bathtub and thought of Derek bathing in it, she immediately blushed and shook her head fiercely.

It made her very uncomfortable, so she took a quick shower. However, just as she stepped out of the shower cubicle, she slipped and fell violently to the ground.

"Ouch..."

Derek's heart skipped a beat when he heard her scream and rushed in without thinking. The next second, she screamed louder.

Nora endured the pain all over her body and leaned hard to her side, covering her body in a panic. Her mind was in a muddle and she was extremely embarrassed.

Derek also did not expect to see this scene, so he was also stunned, which was very rare. When he came back to his senses, he immediately looked away. Mr. Xavier was seldom at a loss.
