Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 84

All Jean's colleagues were extremely busy, but she was the only one with nothing to do.

She had no appetite for lunch at all. So she asked Maranda to bring her a sandwich. It was not until the afternoon that Sonny came back to the office.

When Jean saw Sonny, she buried her head among the document folders. She didn't dare to meet his gaze.

She was able to avoid being seen but her couldn't escape being called.

"Jean, come to my office." Sonny went into his office after calling her out. His tone was very serious.

Jean raised her head and took a deep breath. She finally plucked up the courage to follow Sonny into his office.

Just when Sonny sat down, Jean knocked on the door and entered the office. On the side of the room stood John.

She clenched her teeth, walked up to Sonny and said timidly and guiltily, "Master..."

"I heard that you were sick yesterday. Are you feeling better now?" Sonny stood at his desk and tidied up the scattered documents.

"Er... It's just a fever. I feel much better today." She pressed her lips sightly and took a glance at John.

John stood there solemnly at this time, expressionless.

"Send this document to the Qi Group." Sonny picked up one document from the desk and handed it to John. John took it over and left the office without saying anything.

When Jean heard Sonny mentioned the Qi Group, she felt uneasy for she had messed up the task given to her. She was afraid that Sonny would be disappointed at her. The thought of Zed upset her too. She decided to admit her mistake.

"Master, sorry, I..."

"Since you are much better now, come to a dinner party with me tonight." He ignored her apology directly. However, there was no sign of anger in his seemingly serious face.

'He did not get angry? His tone sounded normal too, ' Jean thought to herself. Only then did she feel a little relieved. Breathing out gently, she then asked, "A dinner party?"

"Just a simple dinner with some of my friends whom I often cooperate with, and also several famous masters in the photography circle. They were all very curious when they heard that I had an apprentice. We agree to have a dinner together tonight, so they asked me to bring you along."

A simple as that!

Jean's anxiety melted away immediately when she heard what Sonny had said. However, seconds later, she hesitated and said, "But I don't have any achievements yet. Are a greenhorn like me qualified to dine with your friends?"

She was afraid of disgracing her master and becoming a laughing stock for being a beginner.

Sonny put some of the photos that had already been edited well into the drawer, and then walked up to Jean, holding his cup. His gentle face became serious again. "Jean, you should have a clear understanding of yourself. You have to know that although you are very talented in photographing, you are too timid and always afraid of many things. I don't like this about you. I want you to be confident. Don't hesitate to do whatever I ask of you in the future."

"Ok." Jean nodded gently.

Sonny went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, and walked slowly to the window. He took a sip of the water before saying, "I know that you have been worried about the photos these days. Since I am back now, you won't be responsible for the follow-up work with the Qi Group."

"What are we going to do with Qi Group's request for a re-shoot?" Jean asked with guilt.

"You don't have to ask more about this matter."

"Well... Okay."

In the evening, Jean attended the dinner party with Sonny.

She was a little nervous on the way to the hotel. Sonny noticed her nervousness and told a few jokes to ease her. Although the jokes weren't funny at all, she was really grateful and she did relax a little.

At the dinner party, things did not go as Jean had imagined. She just showed up and was praised by Sonny's friends who were all famous seniors. They talked to Sonny about things related to their work but Jean just sat aside and drank a few glasses of wine.

She drank a lot recently. Maybe her immunity increased with her alcohol consumption. After several glasses, she didn't feel dizzy at all. It was quite amazing.

She went out to the bathroom midway. When she came back, she saw Eva.
