Chapter 100
Hearing Victoria’s introduction, the atmosphere in the design department became particularly tense.
This person and Reese had a grudge against each other, yet Victoria still brought her in. What was she thinking?
No one in the design department applauded, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Reese calmly watched Gwendolyn and Victoria not speaking. Raven was a little confused. She was a little
curious, but it was not easy to ask directly.
Victoria smiled disapprovingly and said, “Why do you not welcome my assistant designer?”
Everyone was dumbfounded and did not speak.
At this moment, Cole walked in from the outside and saw everyone looking strange.
Gwendolyn and Victoria turned their backs to him. He did not know that Gwendolyn was here, so he couldn’t help but say, “What’s with your expressions?”
Raven did not know the ins and outs. When she heard Cole’s words, she said weakly, “Designer Victoria introduces her assistant designer to everyone.”
When Cole heard this, his eyes fell on Gwendolyn beside Victoria.
Gwendolyn turned around and smiled at Cole: “Director Hopkins, hello, I’m Gwendolyn King”
Cole’s expression changed instantly, “You’re Victoria’s assistant designer.”
Gwendolyn smiled and nodded. “Yes, I think Strakovski’s assistant designer is recruiting. The contact person is Designer Victoria. I contacted her and came over. Do you have any questions?”
Cole looked at her and his expression changed, “No problem.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Victoria and said, “Victoria, come to my office.”
Victoria’s eyes flashed as she nodded and followed Cole to the director’s office.
As soon as the office door closed, Cole frowned and looked at Victoria, “What do you mean?”
Victoria looked innocent: “I don’t mean anything.”
Cole’s expression was a little ugly: “Last night, when Gwendolyn was causing trouble for Reese, I don’t

believe you didn’t see it. You know that they don’t get along, and yet you still brought her into the design. department. Are you trying to turn this place into a battleground?”
Victoria disagreed. She stared at Cole: “Director Hopkins, let me ask you, are you partial or are you really thinking about the company?”
Without thinking about it, Cole said directly, “Of course, it’s for the company.”
Victoria sneered: “Really, but I feel that you are thinking about this from Reese’s interests. Gwendolyn is also from a jewelry family. I have tested her and she is fully capable of becoming an assistant designer. Besides, I’ve been working at Stratovski for so long, don’t I have the right to choose an assistant designer
for myself?”
Victoria paused and looked at Cole’s handsome face, her eyes reluctant to look away.
She took a deep breath and said, “I remember that every designer at Stratovski has the right to choose their own assistants and assistant designers. Director Hopkins, are you going to disregard the company’s rules and regulations for Reese?”
Cole’s expression was ugly. “I just don’t want the company to become a place for private struggles. Also, the King family’s Bulgela jewelry conflicts with our Stratovski interests. Are you sure you want to use Gwendolyn?”
Victoria nodded: “I have already considered this. When Gwendolyn enters the company, she will sign a non–disclosure agreement. If she really stole the company’s secrets for Bulgela Jewelry, then her compensation will be Bulgela Jewelry’s profit. And, I promise you, she won’t be at work, like a shrew, arguing with Reese here.

When Cole heard Victoria’s words, he had a headache. “Forget it, you can go out first.”
Seeing that he had compromised, Victoria couldn’t help but hook her lips. She raised her chin and walked out arrogantly.
When Reese saw her appearance, she knew that Cole agreed to keep Gwendolyn.
Reese’s eyes flashed as she lowered her head to draw the design.
As long as Gwendolyn didn’t take the initiative to provoke her, she was too lazy to answer.
At the same time, Stratovski was on the top floor.
Elias entered Lukas’s office and threw an invitation on Lukas’s desk: “The invitation to the King family’s dinner was given by Anthony Rivers when I was discharged from the hospital. I brought yours here. Are you going this year?”
The King family owned a hospital, so they could be considered neutral in Switzerland, not offending
Chapter 100
anyone.
Anthony Rivers‘ mother turned 50 this Saturday.
When the King family held a dinner party, the most important people in the Switzerland line would send invitations.
Lukas did not usually attend, so he only let his assistant present a gift.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know Anthony Rivers.
Lukas’s eyes sank. “Is Reese going too?”
Elias was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Mmm, Reese and Ava, received the invitation together with mine. Anthony wanted to give it to you when he came to take the jewelry, but I told him you were on a business trip, so I took it for you.”
Lukas nodded, his expression gloomy: “Since you have brought all the invitations, let’s go.”
Elias rested his hands on his desk and looked at him with a smile: “I say, you never went before, but could it be that you’re going this time because of Reese!”
Before Elias could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lukas’s calm face: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Elias raised his eyebrows, “Okay, you’re just curious about the King family’s banquet this year, so you want to find out more.”
Lukas looked at Elias’s twitchy face, and his brows could not help but twitch, “Do you know how to speak?”
Elias laughed lightly: “I just meant to tease you. You don’t like Reese anyway. Don’t be so serious.”
Hearing this, Lukas’s mind couldn’t help but think of the dream last night.
His face was a little ugly. “Elias, I want to ask you a question.”
Elias pursed his lips, “What.”
“If a person clearly doesn’t like another person, why would he have a dream about her?”
“It depends on what kind of dream.” Elias’s attitude was serious.
Lukas frowned and was silent for a moment, then he said, “Just that kind of dream”
Elias really did not react. He was a little confused: “What kind of dream?”
Chapter 100
Lukas stared at him with a dark face. “You can’t figure it out?”
Elias did not expect that the always cold Lukas would be talking about the kind of dream that a man
would have.
He looked confused. “You should give me a direction.”
Lukas was a little impatient, and his tone was a little harsh: “A dream of intimacy”
