Patrick?

Violet’s emotions were incomparably complicated. He was the judge for this competition?

She had not seen Patrick for almost a week. When she suddenly saw him today, she thought of the last time they met. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Skyler was also stunned when he saw Patrick.

He had no idea that they had invited Patrick this time to be the judge for the Azure Ocean Heart Jewelry Design Competition.

Ellie grabbed Skyler’s arm excitedly and lowered her voice. “Mr. Hersey!”

The other designers were even more excited. Among the middle-aged and aged men, Patrick was the most unique one.

He was the youngest and was so handsome that it made one’s hair stand on end. Violet even saw admiration in several female designers’s eyes.

Patrick acted as if he did not notice the gazes of the crowd. His gaze remained indifferent.

He stood there, and others could only see him as the center of attention.

The person in charge of the competition quickly asked the judges to sit down before the designers took their seats.

There were three tables, two with two judges, and the last with only one. There was only one judge sitting at Violet’s table, and that was Patrick.

The chief judge introduced the identities and backgrounds of the judges. to everyone. At first, everyone thought that according to the age of Patrick, his qualifications would be relatively low.

In the end, when everyone found out that Patrick was the founder of Foreverie Jewelry and the current emperor of the jewelry world, their eyes

of others.

When everyone looked at Patrick again, their gazes were much more complicated. There was shock, admiration, and infatuation. The scene could be said to be like the moon surrounded by stars.

Violet could not help but purse her l*ps. She lowered her eyes and did not look at Patrick.

When the dishes were served, everyone stood up and started toasting. Seeing that it was almost Violet’s turn, Violet inexplicably became nervous. Skyler nudged her with his arm and said softly, “It’s different here than in the company. Have a good toast with Mr. Hersey later, understand?”

Violet nodded.

Ellie toasted before Violet. She held her wine glass and walked to Patrick with a smile. “Mr. Hersey, I’m so surprised and happy to see you in Azure City today. It’s my honor to have you as my judge in my lifetime. Let me toast you first!”

Ellie finished her drink as she spoke.

Patrick looked at her indifferently. His expression was cold as he picked up his wine glass and sipped it.

The others whispered among themselves.

“Does this Ellie know Mr. Hersey?”

“I think so. Didn’t they say that two of Foreverie Jewelry’s designers. participated in the competition?”

“Looks like that’s the case. It’s simply too blissful to be in the same company as such a handsome boss!”

“I can ask Ellie about Mr. Hersey’s hobbies later! Maybe

Mr. Hersey likes!”

The female designers winked and gossiped. Violet was close to them, so she heard every word they said.

Violet’s l*ps curled up sarcastically. They could be happy just by looking at Patrick’s face. Their happiness was so simple.

However, what Patrick liked was probably someone soft, weak, petite, and cute, like Rose.

In her opinion, none of them was like that!

Violet was lost in her thoughts when Skyler poked her. Violet suddenly looked up and realized that Ellie had returned after toasting.

Patrick looked at her with a deep gaze across the round table. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.

Violet pursed her l*ps, picked up the wine in front of her, and walked toward Patrick.

She approached Patrick and said calmly, “Mr. Hersey, here’s to you!”

Violet was about to drink when she heard Patrick say, “Miss Webb, don’t you have anything else to say?”

When others came over to offer a toast, they wished they could stay longer. The more they said, the better.

However, when it came to Violet, she dismissed him with a single

sentence.

Violet was stunned. “I don’t quite understand what you mean, Mr. Hersey!”

Frustration flashed across Patrick’s eyes. His voice was a little cold. “It’s nothing. Help yourself!”

Violet nodded, picked up his glass, and downed it in one gulp.

Patrick finished the wine in his hand in frustration.

Violet had already turned around and left. It was as if she

Patrick’s gaze darkened. Then, everyone who came over to toast him. could only see his dark expression.

Violet returned to her seat and heard Ellie bragging to the female designers.

“Mr. Hersey likes bright and capable designers the most!”

“Is he single? Of course, he is. Mr. Hersey is the most sought-after golden. bachelor in Summerwood City!”

Violet smiled sarcastically. She felt that Ellie was really boring.

When she smiled, Ellie happened to look over. When she saw Violet’s expression, Ellie could not help but frown.

Violet felt that the private room was a little oppressive, so she got up and went out to take a breather.

In the end, Ellie followed her the moment she left.

Violet leaned against the window at the end of the corridor and heard. Ellie’s sarcastic voice. “Violet, what do you mean?”

Violet looked at her and asked, “What do you mean what I mean?”

Ellie snorted. “Stop pretending. We’re the same kind of person. Why you pretending in front of me? I’m just telling others something about Mr. Hersey. You’re mocking me like you’re so capable!”

Violet was speechless. She said, “You’re thinking too much. I didn’t mean.

that!”

Ellie took a step forward as she said, “Well… You make it sound so nice. If you don’t mean that, what do you mean?”

Violet was too lazy to talk to her. Her eyes flashed. “Mr. Hersey is not single! He’s married!”

Ellie was stunned. Then, she looked at Violet sarcastically as if she was crazy. “Are you out of your mind? Everyone in Foreverie Jewelry knows. that Mr. Hersey is single. You even come up with such a lie that he is married to defend yourself. You’re so ridiculous!”

Violet’s expression turned cold. She was about to say it was up to her to believe it when she heard a cold voice. “I’m indeed not single!”
