Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 527 - 527: I’ll Apologize Tomorrow

"I know, ever since I entered Zagreb Film, as the chief designer of Fashion Queen, you've been unwilling to submit to my orders. We are all of an age, also the competitors from the same game. You don't think I deserve to be your boss and always disregard my orders in daily work. But today, you deliberately changed your designs and then wronged me in front of the colleagues. You want to force me to quit and leave the company, don't you?" Katrina concluded her words with a sob in her voice, anger in her face. Her eyes were even wet with tears.

Savannah looked at her coldly. Katrina should be an actress instead of a designer!

"Director Jenkins," Katrina looked back at Jenkins, choking out through tears."Please be the judge of who's in the right. If you don't clear my name today, I'll go to Mr. Sterling and make it clear!"

Jenkins was also helpless when Katrina brought the boss out. Katrina was, anyway, Savannah's superior, and he couldn't ignore her superior authority.

"Savannah, in the absence of any evidence, you can't wrong Miss Kaif," Jenkins said to Savannah with regret. Then he turned to Katrina, trying to smooth things over, "Miss Kaif, why not just forget it..."

"Forget it? No way! If this thing keeps unclear, the company will really suppose that I have stolen her designs!" Katrina, of course, didn't want to stop here.

"What do you want?" Jenkins frowned.

"I want Savannah to admit she deliberately set me up, and apologize to me in front of all the colleagues in the design department!" Katrina said in an imperious manner.

"It will become really big if we escalate this…" Jenkins gasped.

"She started everything. Isn't she afraid of ruining my name by wronging me?" Katrina did not plan to let go. She added coldly, "I'll give her two days to prepare. If she refuses to give me a formal apology, you will see!" With that, she stormed out.

The Sterling Group

Garwood hurried to the CEO's office and knocked on the door. "Sir."

"What's up?" Dylan looked up.

"Miss Schultz is in trouble. Katrina said Miss Schultz wronged her and disgraced her in public and insisted that Miss Schultz should make a formal apology to her in front of the whole department, or she would fire her." Garwood reported quickly. Though Mr. Sterling had said not to report to him about Miss Schultz, Garwood felt it was necessary to tell his boss.

"I don't think I have time to care about such a trifle." Dylan's face remained expressionless.

"But…it's too much to ask Miss Schultz to apologize in front of the whole department... Even if she has nothing to do with you, Sir, she's still an employee of the Sterling group. Maybe we shouldn't..." Garwood weighed his words as he said. He knew his boss was still concerning Miss Schultz, but his pride stopped him from showing that.

Just then, the telephone rang.

Dylan picked up the phone and heard Charlotte's soft voice, "Dylan..."

"What's the matter?" Dylan knew what she was calling him for.

"Did you hear about what happened to Katrina?" As expected, Charlotte began to complain, "Savannah has been quite unreconciled that Katrina could be her superior, and she kept going against her. Today, she even wronged Katrina, saying that she stole her designs! This really hurt Katrina's feelings. Now she just wants a formal apology from Savannah; otherwise, she suggests the company dismiss her. You don't mind it, do you?"

Dylan pondered for a moment and said simply, "I'll take care of this."

"What? Katrina asked you to apologize in front of the whole department? Let her go to hell!"

In the restaurant, Olivia nearly broke her fork when she heard what had just happened to Savannah!

But she was more annoyed with Charlotte.

Needless to say, the one who gave the command behind Katrina was Charlotte! She stayed at Dylan's side by some tricks and still worried to see Savannah working in the company under the Sterling group. She wanted to kick Savannah out of the company completely!

The mobile phone in Savannah's hand rang.

It was Jenkins.

"Savannah, what do you think you are going to do?" Jenkins's voice was very sorry.

"Director Jenkins, you should know me. I didn't wrong, Katrina. She did change my designs." Savannah bit her lip.

"Hm, alas. But Katrina asked you to apologize. I can't help it. You know she is Miss Rowe's bestie, introduced by Miss Rowe, and Miss Rowe is about to get engaged with the big boss." Jenkins sighed.

Savannah's heart seemed to be transfixed with a sword when she heard his last sentence. She braced herself up and smiled bitterly, "Director Jenkins, what will happen if I don't apologize?"

Jenkins hesitated, then finally said, "Mr. Sterling knows about your problem with Katrina. Actually, he called me this morning..."

"What did he say?" Savannah asked, her heart in her mouth. His attitude to this matter was her only hope.

Olivia strained to hear Jenkins, too.

"Mr. Sterling said... If you really wronged Miss Kaif, a formal apology is also appropriate. If you are not willing to, he'll dismiss you…"

Savannah's heart suddenly fell back to the bottom of the valley, making her breathless. A self-deprecating smile played on her lips.

The one who hurt her most was not Katrina or Charlotte, but him.

She even expected him to protect her...

How could it?

Didn't he take a stand last time in the meeting room?

He would rather protect Charlotte's best friend and watch Katrina hurt her than look at her!

Olivia also heard what Jenkins was saying on the phone. She got so angry that she tried to grab Savannah's cell phone and told her director that Savannah would never apologize, but Savannah had already opened her mouth, "Director Jenkins, I'll apologize tomorrow."

Then she hung up.

"You silly girl, are you crazy? You're gonna apologize to Katrina in front of the whole department? Did I hear that right?" Olivia looked at Savannah with disbelief!

"Yes."Savannah bit her lip and nodded.

"Why? Because you are threatened to be fired? Then leave that company! Who cares? Are you afraid that you can't find a job? Even if you can't find a job, you still have me!" Olivia became agitated.

Savannah took a deep breath, "Charlotte put Katrina in Zagreb Film to force me out. If I get fired, she'll be more than satisfied. Besides, I…"
