Chapter 19 Jealous Russell
As Zoey’s words fell, Ariana’s face suddenly changed.
Nelson sneered, “Stop playing games there, it’s just a bunch of rubbish sketches. Even if you draw a hundred thousand pieces, it won’t be as good as one of Ariana’s!”
Zoey nodded, “I hope you will think the same in the future too!”
Nelson responded confidently, “Naturally.”
Zoey thought of something and said, “Oh, by the way, I hope you quickly handle the photos and videos that caused a big stir in the city, as well as the scandal of Ariana using a voice substitute. Otherwise, in the future, if Born Beauty clothing cannot compete with Z&L Design, they will blame it on these two reasons.”
Nelson’s face looked as foul as a pile of shit. “You don’t need to worry about Born Beauty, but it’s audacious for Galaxy Studio to hire you as an S–level designer. I believe the future prospects of Z&L Design will be grim. If that top designer, Star, finds out that you are being treated the same or even better than her, it will be considered a disgrace.”
Leanna’s lips curled up with a hint of contemptuous and mocking smile, “Star appreciated Zoey very much, you don’t need to worry about that.”
She looked at Zoey and asked, “Is there anything else you need to take with you?”

Zoey shook her head, “Nothing more.”
Leanna smirked, “Then let’s go!”
The onlookers instantly made way, creating a two–meter wide path for them, and watched as they left.
Ariana glared fiercely at Zoey’s back, her eyes filled with anger. She knew that Zoey did it on purpose, bringing up the photos, videos, and voiceovers in front of everyone, afraid that they would all forget about them.
Zoey also burned those sketches, leaving her no way out.
Last time Moriah said that Zoey got a free pass at Z&L Design, so she wasn’t relying on Russell’s influence, but rather she already knew Leanna herself!
Zoey never mentioned to her about knowing Leanna!
What kind of sisters are they, claiming to be close with sweet words but ultimately holding things back?
Ariana bit her lower lip tightly until a sweet and tangy taste filled her mouth.
Nelson lowered his head and asked, “Ariana, what happened to you?”
Ariana was on the verge of tears, “Nelson, whenever I think about Zoey using Russell’s influence to slap you, my heart aches for you.”
Nelson hummed, “It wouldn’t be long before she couldn’t borrow anymore!”

Ariana sniffed, “Nelson, I now suspect that Zoey was behind all of this. In fact, she had known about what happened between you and me a long time ago.”
Nelson’s fierce eyes had dark bloodshot veins in them as he sneered, “These past few days, Zoey has been targeting us, so it’s highly likely that she knows about our affairs and has planned everything. I underestimated her before, but it’s okay, she won’t be able to make any waves in the future. Ariana, the new product launch is happening soon, this time you must fiercely strike Zoey’s face.”
Ariana’s eyes flickered with guilt, but she still nodded, “Don’t worry, Nelson.”
Her eyes darted around, as she pondered on how to obtain Zoey’s summer fashion show sketches.
Here, Zoey and Leanna just walked out of the Born Beauty building.
A sudden rush of footsteps sounded behind them.
Alissa turned around first and saw that it was the person who openly argued with Zoey in the meeting room, Jayleen.
She stood in front of Jayleen, “What do you want to do?”
Jayleen didn’t dare to confront her head–on, after all, she had just witnessed her strength.
She forced a smile and said, “Um, I just wanted to see Ms. Spence.”
Alissa turned around and saw Leanna approaching, so she

stepped aside.
Jayleen smiled ingratiatingly, “Ms. Spence, Ms. Harmon is unfamiliar with your design studio and doesn’t have a good partner. I have been working with her for a month and we are quite familiar with each other. Do you think I can be a partner with Ms. Harmon at Galaxy Studio?”
Leanna coldly stared at her, her beautiful red lips slightly curved, “Design director?”
Jayleen nodded, “Yes.”
Leanna chuckled, “Zoey’s partner was Star, so are you qualified?”
Jayleen: “…”
Zoey laughed, “Me, being so arrogant and unable to produce a single draft in a month, should Ms. Neal really lower herself and team up with me?”
Jayleen: “…”
Watching them drive away, Jayleen stomped her foot in anger.
Zoey sat in Leanna’s car, while the assistant sat in Alissa’s car.
Leanna gripped the steering wheel, “I saw that cheap sister of yours wouldn’t give up easily.”
Zoey chuckled, “I was afraid she would stay put. Otherwise, how would I have the chance to slap her face so hard?”
Leanna laughed out loud, “I really want to see the scene of Nelson, that scumbag, kneeling in front of you, crying and

begging for your forgiveness. I feel like your disabled husband, when he gets anxious, could jump up and kick him away with one foot.”
Zoey: “…”
Galaxy Studio is located on the bustling section of
Woodmerrow, and it is a standalone five–story office building.
The first floor was the staff canteen, the second floor was the Marketing Department, the third floor was the Design Department, the fourth floor was the Sartorial Department, and the fifth floor was the executive office.
Leanna gathered everyone in the conference room and introduced Zoey solemnly.
The crowd was surprised by this parachuted S–class designer, after all, Galaxy Studio only had one S–class designer until now, and Zoey was the second one.
Some people felt awe, while others thought it was due to connections.
Anyway, the crowd warmly welcomed them.
Leanna took Zoey to a sunny office on the third floor. “Zoey, thi is what I have prepared for you.”
In the past, Leanna also prepared this office for her, but she
never came once.
In this lifetime, she will never disappoint her good friend again
Zoey hugged Leanna and said, “Thank you, Leanna. I will definitely draw the draft well.”

Leanna smiled and patted her back, “Good.”
Meanwhile, in the office of the President of the Maddox Group. Russell listened to Troy’s report, tapping his fingertips lightly. “I will go to the base myself. Now go and contact the airport.”
Troy nodded, “Yes. And there were some situations on the lady’s side as well.”
Troy faithfully recounted every word of the feedback Alissa had given.
Russell squinted his eyes, so on that day, she got a freebie at Z&L Design because she knew Leanna.
It seems that his young wife was hiding something, knowing such a big shot.
His lips curled slightly upwards.
Troy cleared his throat, “Mr. Russell, Alissa also sent some photos.”
Russell lightly hummed, “Forward it to me.”
Soon, he received the photos.
His smile froze at the corner of his lips, Zoey and Leanna tightly embraced in the photo, their smiles sweet.
He furrowed his brows slightly, why were they hugging so tightly?
“When was it taken?”
13:1
Troy was puzzled, “It should have been just now
“You can go.”
“Yes,”
As Troy was about to close the door, he saw Russell with a gentle smile on his face, softly calling out, “Zoey”
Suddenly, a chilling gaze swept over, and he quickly closed the door.
Russell was video chatting with Zoey, “Where are you?
Zoey blinked her eyes and said, “was at Galaxy Studio. I was going to be the designer here. Do you want me to show you my office?”
“Okay.”
Zoey showed him every corner of the office, not even sparing the cactus on the desk.
Russell asked, “Why was it a cactus?”
“Because I was lazy, the cactus didn’t need to be watered all the time. But don’t worry, I wouldn’t starve you.”
Russell felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart, “The office environment was great, and the decoration style suited you well.”
Zoey nodded, “This was all prepared by Leanna. Her name is Leanna Spence, the president of Galaxy Studio, and we are best friends.”
Russell pursed his lips and asked, “Have you known each other for a long time?”
“Well, it has been many years,” Zoey looked at the man, he seems a little unhappy. She smiled and said, “Are you jealous?”
Russell was very.certain, “Of course not, I wouldn’t be jealous of women.”
Zoey smiled and said, “Alright then, I’ll pretend that you weren’t jealous.”
Russell looked at the girl’s delicate little face and said, “Zoey, I will be away on a business trip for three days and will be back on Saturday.”
“When are you leaving? I will help you pack your bags.”
“I have it ready in my office, there was Troy helping me prepare, and we were about to leave soon!
Zoey didn’t expect that they would have to separate again after just being together for a few days. “Can I accompany you?” she asked.
Russell did want to be with her, but it was too dangerous on the base.
He smiled and said, “I will try to come back early.”
Zoey nodded.
She heard Troy’s voice saying that the plane was ready.
Russell greedily gazed at the girl’s eyebrows and eyes, “Zoey, you hang up the phone first.”
Chapter 19 Jealous Russell
Zoey curved her lips and said, “Russell, I will miss you.”
She knew if she doesn’t hang up first, Russell wouldn’t hang up either. She didn’t want to waste his time, so after looking at him deeply, she hung up the video call.
She felt a little disappointed, but luckily they would meet again in a few days. Besides, they could also call and video chat regularly.
She was not the only one who thought this way, Russell was also the same.
He looked at the screenshot of Zoey’s smiling face on his phone, with a gentle smile.
Troy reminded, “Mr. Russell, I’ll go help you pack your luggage.”
The smile on Russell’s lips vanished, his voice turning cold. “Go.” (
Troy’s mouth twitched. The young lady really had her ways, capable of making a man who was once pure and aloof fall into the mortal world.
The difference in treatment between him and Mrs. Maddox by Mr.Maddox is just too glaring!
