Chapter 149 A Love Rival?
James had his VIP elevator. Just as he pressed the button, he heard someone call him.
"Mr. James, it's my first day at work. I'll treat our colleagues to a dinner. Do you want to join us?" Jenny stared at him, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.
"I don't have time. You guys should have your time." James said as he glanced at her indifferently.
The elevator arrived. After he entered, he closed the door without hesitation.
...
His movements were too fast, and Jenny watched helplessly as the elevator door closed. She felt a sense of disappointment.
Although everyone had lowered their heads to pack their things, they noticed Jenny's actions and whispered amongst themselves. From Jenny's tone, it seemed that she was a friend of James. Unfortunately, James was already engaged. She was still shameless trying to get close to him.
Although Jenny did not hear the gossips of the crowd, she felt uncomfortable when she saw the looks in everyone's eyes. But her face was still brimming with a smile as she asked everyone to book a restaurant.
Kara was in the art studios. With some senior schoolmates around, there was not much that needed her to do.
When Larry was in a good mood, he would give them a lecture. Kara was a slow learner and would write down a lot of notes in her notebook.
After class, she was going to ask Larry some questions, but Larry felt tired, so he asked Donald to answer her questions.
Kara thought of James's warning. Although she felt that he was being unreasonable, she still instinctively distanced herself from Donald.
"Kara, James inexplicably treated me as a love rival. Do you also treat me as a love rival for no reason?" Donald felt that she was awkward and stopped.
Kara didn't understand his question for a moment. She blinked her big watery eyes. She looked so charming now.
"No, I'm sorry, Donald." She lowered her head and apologized.
"What are you sorry about? I don't confess to you. You don't have to reject me so mercilessly, do you?" Donald joked.
Kara blushed and shook her head desperately, "Donald, I respect you very much. It's my fault that I didn't tell James that I wanted to move to the apartment, so he misunderstood you." When Donald remembered that James was the one who picked up the call when he called her, and it made James misunderstand him, he felt a little sorry as well.
"He thought you wanted to live with me, so he treated me as a love rival." Donald seemed to have thought of something, and he let out a low laugh, causing Kara to look confused. "James is jealous. I can see that he likes you so much."
Kara stared at him in surprise. James liked her?
"Kara, in my heart, you are a little sister. Do you still remember that I told you that I also had a sister before? And I hope you could help me draw a painting of her for me, okay?" Hearing Donald's gentle voice, Kara nodded, but when she realized that she had never seen his sister before, she felt she was put in a difficult position.
Donald saw through her thoughts and took out a black USB, "This is the video of her birthday before. Take a look first. If you have any questions, ask me again." "Okay." Kara took the black USB and praised with a smile, "Donald, you are really a good brother."
However, Donald's expression changed instantly, and his gentle face paled.
Seeing the change in his expression, Kara was not sure if she had said something wrong. She asked nervously, "Donald, are you okay?"
"I am okay. I'll go to work first. If you have any question, just ask me." Donald left quickly.
Kara frowned and stared at the black USB in her hand, feeling a little helpless.
"Kara, come." Suddenly hearing Larry's serious voice, she quickly stuffed the black USB into her bag and ran to him.
"Master Larry, is there anything you need me to do?"
Larry casually threw a flyer to her, "An old friend of mine is holding an art competition. You should participate in it."
"Alright." Kara did not even look at the flyer and nodded without hesitation.
Larry raised his eyebrows in surprise. He saw that her eyes were full of respect for him, and he raised his chin proudly. "In three days, show me your work."
"What?"
Kara was a little nervous. She was not sure if she could draw a painting in three days.
"What? If you chicken out, then don't go. I will let other students participate in this competition." Larry glared at her.
"No, Master Larry, I'm not afraid." Kara quickly nodded.
Larry saw the silly little girl. She indeed looked very cute, and he was very satisfied with her.
However, others thought differently from Larry. Kara was just a little girl. She had not even studied in university. How could she have such a good opportunity to participate in this competition? Jamya looked at Kara running away and was very jealous.
She couldn't understand why this little girl was so good. Not only did she gain the favor of Mr. James, but she also made Larry think so highly of her.
She had prepared for this competition for three months, but when the time for the competition arrived, Larry only let Kara participate, then wouldn't all her efforts for these three months have been in vain? "Master Larry, I have prepared for this competition for a long time, but you let Kara participate in it. Why?"
Larry raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jamya with some displeasure.
"You can only accept the reality. Anyway, I have chosen Kara."
Although Jamya respected Larry very much, she did not want to compromise on this matter. She mustered up her courage to look at Larry directly in the eyes.
Kara, who was standing next to her, was a little uneasy. She knew that Jamya did not go home this time. She stayed in the studio to prepare for this competition for so long, but Kara did not expect that Larry would appoint her to participate.
"Master Larry, let Jamya participate in it." She said in a low voice.
Larry glared at her angrily, looking very intimidating.
"You have a high standards and look down on this competition?"
"No. Can we have two people participated in the competition?"
Kara felt that she was so wronged. She was very happy to be able to participate in the competition, but if it made everyone unhappy, it would not be a good thing.
"No!" Larry replied straightforwardly.
Jamya glanced at Kara with a calculating look in her eyes, "Kara has the least experience in the studio. Master Larry, you let her win glory for our studio. It's too risky. How about you choose her in a few years later, let me go this time."
Kara pursed her lips, thinking that what Jamya said was right, but she also wanted to participate in this competition.
Larry also frowned. He decided to let Kara go this time in such a short notice because he wanted to hone her. He never thought that she would win glory for the studio.
But when Jamya brought it up, he was mocking himself for being too biased.
Larry had always acted according to his heart. How could he be happy when his student mocked him?
"Since you want to go, then you should have a match with my Kara!"
At this time, a deep and cold voice sounded. Everyone turned around and saw a handsome man standing at the door.
He stood tall and straight, wearing a purely handmade black suit. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his long legs were too eye-catching.
"Uncle James, are you joking?" Kara did not expect him to come at this time.
But to let her compete with Jamya, she felt that James was deliberately coming to pick a fight.
Jamya had been learning how to draw since she was a child and was very talented.
She was definitely the one who would lose in the internal competition!
