Skyler hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the truth. “The company has decided that you and Ellie will participate in the competition. Do you have any objections?”
Violet pursed her lips. Skyler must think she had a big problem with Ellie!
She felt somewhat helpless in her heart and said, “Since this is the
company’s decision, | have no objections.”
Skyler could tell that Violet still had something on her mind.
However, since Violet didn’t want to say, he didn’t force her.
Then, Violet left Skyler’s office. She had forgotten to find Patrick because. of Skyler and Ellie’s matter.
During lunch, Violet kept staring at Megan. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
Megan couldn’t take it anymore, and her cold face tensed up. She said, “Violet, what do you want to say? Stop staring at me like this. | can’t even focus on eating my food!”
Violet pursed her lips. “Megan, | told you before. You need to find time to talk to Skyler about your feelings. Have you thought about it?”
Megan was momentarily stunned. She hesitated for two seconds and said, “I’m not ready yet.”
Violet felt utterly frustrated. Megan always seemed indifferent to everything except Skyler. She had been holding onto her feelings for him. for years, but now she hesitated and didn’t dare to confess.
Violet was a little angry. She said, “When it comes to love, you've got to speak up. Nobody’s a mind-reader. If you keep quiet, how’s anyone supposed to know what's on your mind? Acting like this will only keep you stuck on the sidelines forever, you know?”
Megan looked at Violet with some surprise. “Violet, what's gotten into you? Why are you so angry?”

Violet glared at Megan in anger. “I’m just frustrated for you! You can’t eve
and you can’t
give him the breakfast you made for him face-to-face! You can’t even
confess your feelings. You just silently watch over him. He can’t possibly know your feelings!”
Megan felt a bit helpless. “It’s not that | don’t want to confess. It’s just that | have endured this feeling for too long. I’m afraid he won't like me. I’m afraid of rejection. Do you understand? No one can understand the weight he holds in my heart.”
Megan took a deep breath and looked a bit sad. “If he doesn’t like me, how should | continue to watch over him? And if he knows | like him, but he doesn’t feel the

Megan looked at her. “Well, Violet, do you think Skyler likes me?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Violet pressed her lips tightly and didn’t say anything.
Megan's expression was calm. “Violet, | may appear aloof and distant, and you seem better at connecting with people than | am. However, the truth is, it’s not like that. I’m not as strong as you think. My aloofness is just a mask | use to protect myself.” Megan continued, “Just like back then when you found out that Freddie had a fiancée, you confidently approached Russell to reject Freddie and completely sever ties with him. But | can’t do that. | can’t let go of Skyler. I’m afraid of losing him, afraid of him looking at me differently, and even more afraid of him avoiding me.”
Violet closed her eyes in resignation. “Forget it. | won’t try to persuade you. anymore. But | have to tell you one thing. The heartfelt breakfast you gave to Skyler, he thinks it was from Ellie.”
Megan's cold face finally changed.
Violet felt pity for Megan but continued, “And | also overheard that they made plans to have breakfast together outside from now on. If you want to

expose Ellie’s lie, you can continue to give him breakfast. That way, lie will be exposed without any effort.
“However, | think Ellie may not be easy to deal with. Your breakfast might be thrown away by her when Skyler isn’t paying attention. Even if Skyler does find out the truth, Ellic might use some tricks to sway him in her favor. She’s very emotionally intelligent.”
Megan's clear and cold eyes were tinged with a hint of sadness.
She said. “Forget it. Since he thinks someone else gives him the breakfast, | won’t do it anymore.”
Violet looked at Megan for a moment, feeling a bit helpless. But in the end, she didn’t continue to persuade Megan.
She should have guessed Megan’s decision earlier, shouldn’t she?
In matters of the heart, everyone’s decisions were different. She just needed to respect Megan's choice, just like Megan respected all of hers. That would be enough.
Violet reached out and squeezed Megan’s hand. “Finish your meal and go to work. If there’s anything, tell me anytime. Don’t bear it alone.”
In the afternoon, after work, Violet spent some time sketching the design draft and then went to the top floor to find Patrick. Violet now had some understanding of Patrick. He seemed cold and heartless, but in reality, he was just overly domineering and arrogant. He used aloofness to hide his soft heart. He looked cold on the outside but was warm on the inside.
He was stubborn as a mule to reveal his soft side.
When Violet knocked on the door, she couldn't help but smirk, thinking about her description of Patrick’s image.
“But as soon as her hand touched the door, she realized it wasn’t closed properly.
The door was pushed open by the force of her knock.

Inside the room, a person with their back to her was kneeling in Patrick’s office. Patrick was seated behind his desk, looking indifferent and lazy as he leaned back in his chair.
