Chapter 6

Zea got up early the next morning.

She was going to Guzman Group today to finalize the final details of the joint model.

As soon as she arrived at Guzman Group, before she even stepped into Theo’s office, Zea’s phone rang.

It was Zea’s colleague who called.

“Zea, we are in trouble. Guzman Group just sent an email to our company, saying that they want to cancel the cooperation with us.”

Zea frowned.

“How is it possible? Guzman Group necklace must be made in time for their anniversary celebration. If we go to other design companies now, they will not have enough time to redesign it!”

Besides, she had obviously drunk that glass of wine that night. Theo could not go back on his word.

Zea knocked on the door of Theo’s office with doubts.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Amber leaning on Theo’s shoulder, feeding Theo biscuits attentively.

As soon as she saw Zea, Theo’s originally gentle eyebrows were visibly coated with a hint of disgust.

“Why are you here?”

“Why do you want to cancel the cooperation with our company?” Zea asked in a cold voice.

“Don’t you know why?” Theo raised his eyebrows and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

“You scratched Amber’s hand that day and broke her wine glass, but you didn’t apologize.”

Zea paused.

He could do this to protect Amber.

“I drank that glass of wine according to your request. I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize? That wine glass was her…”

Before Zea finished speaking, she was interrupted by Theo in a cold voice.

“Zea, don’t do whatever you want just because you are the adopted daughter of the Guzman Family. Although Amber has repeatedly pleaded for you, you should remember it. If you don’t apologize to Amber, don’t think about getting the cooperation of Guzman Group.”

Zea looked at Theo’s bottomless eyes and her heart seemed to fall into an ice cave, making her back cold.

She knew that Theo was serious.

She tightly grasped the corner of her clothes and slowly lowered her head.

“Amber, I’m sorry.”

Zea felt that her self-esteem was trampled under someone’s feet. The humiliation swept through her body, making her unable to raise her head.

But she needed this cooperation. If she won this contract, she would have a design bonus of 279.466 dollars.

She still owed the Guzman Family a blue and white porcelain vase.

She had to pay back her debt.

“Amber, although she apologized, it still depends on you whether to forgive her or not. If you are unwilling to forgive her, then I will still not agree to cooperate with their company.”

Theo’s words were like a knife, falling on Zea’s heart.

Now she was as humble as a mouse crawling in the dark.

“Okay, Zea has apologized, so don’t embarrass her.”

Amber’s light words hit Zea like a heavy hammer.

Zea slowly raised her head and looked at Theo coldly.

“Mr. Guzman, can we check the final details of the product now?”

Theo stretched out his hand to Zea.

“Since Amber has forgiven you, give it to me!”

Theo took the design draft handed over by Zea and signed his name without even looking at it.

After signing, Theo threw the design draft in front of Zea as if giving alms.
