Chapter 446
In the end, Minerva decided to take a photo and send it to her.
After she took them, she sent Helen the photos of the design works when they had been in goodcondition.
Helen commented, "Wow, it's so beautiful! Thank you too much, Minerva. This is the kind of designthat I want."
As soon as Helen had replied, Minerva sent her another photo as well.
Helen paused for a moment and she looked shocked.
"You're joking right? This is awful!"
It took Minerva a while to find her words.
"This is the accident that I was talking about."
Helen was at a loss for words.
Minerva responded, "I'm really sorry, but I decided that it would be better to be frank with you."
There was no reply from Helen. Minerva thought of how Helen had smiled at her that day. The truthwas that she liked Helen very much as she was a warm and enthusiastic person. Nonetheless, afalling out was inevitable after such a thing had happened.
She began typing a message slowly. "If you give me the green light, I will fix this dress, but I needyour cooperation, I..."
Before Minerva had finished typing her message, Helen initiated a Facebook video call.
Minerva was stunned for a second before accepting the video call.
Upon answering the call, Helen's beautiful face was displayed on the screen of the mobile phone.She was wearing an ancient costume. When she saw Minerva, she immediately flashed a smile,revealing her bright white teeth. "Hey, Minerva!"
Minerva greeted her, saying, "Miss Lowell?"
"Oh, why are you calling me Miss Lowell again? Call me Helen; I am your fan! I am still at the sceneeven though I am done with my part. I will come to you shortly after removing my makeup."
Minerva studied Helen's face and realized she could not find a single trace of fury. She didn't seemto be affected by the torn dress at all.
She was stupefied for a moment, asking gingerly, "That outfit, you..."
"Isn't it just an outfit? It wasn't designed by you in the first place. If it's damaged, so be it."
"If it's damaged, so be it?" Minerva repeated in a daze. She never expected she would say such athing. It took her a long while to react. "Then what are you going to wear for your pressconference?"
"Press conference? Oh, I'm going to attend a press conference. Minerva, you've designednumerous outfits before. Can't you lend me one first?"
"The outfits she had designed previously?" Minerva pondered for a moment. "But those outfits..."
Minerva stopped all of a sudden. An idea formed in her mind. "I think I have one in my personalcollection."
At the words 'personal collection', Helen's eyes shone with anticipation. "Really? Lend it to me. I'llwear it no matter what!"
At last, they reached an agreement. Helen would come over to her office in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, Minerva heaved a sigh of relief when she looked at the dress in front ofher. Just then, Vera pushed open the door and walked in.
"How's it going?"
Vera shook her head, saying, "You're right. It's not a burglary, but someone did it on purpose."
Minerva lowered her eyes. "Have you identified the culprit through the surveillance cameras?"
"Not yet." Vera shook her head. "There are a lot of blind spots on the sixth floor, so..." As Veraspoke, she lowered her head guiltily and said, "It's all my fault. The work is so important. I shouldhave guarded it well."
"Never mind. Everything's alright now." Minerva stood up and walked over to Vera. "Let's go."
"Where are we going?"
"To look for the culprit."
Hearing those words, Vera rushed to match her pace at once.
The two of them entered the elevator together.
"Do you know where to find the culprit?"
"Although they made use of blind spots, as long as they were in the company, they would appear insome of the surveillance footage. We have to investigate all areas in the company."
Upon hearing that, Vera smacked her own head. "Yes, why didn't I think of that? Ah, I must havepanicked."
"It's alright. We are just going to try our luck."
After all, they might not be able to find the culprit even if they inspected all the surveillance footageof the company.
Sure enough, the two of them failed to identify any suspects when they studied the surveillancefootage.
"What should we do? We can't find anyone. Did that person come into the building from the roof?"
Minerva contemplated for a while before taking out her mobile phone to contact Quill.
She didn't want to trouble Quill. However, it was a serious matter. How could the company operate ifsomething like that happened again in the future?
Connections were very crucial to the success of her company.
Minerva didn't disclose it to Quill. She merely said that she wanted to take a look at the surveillancefootage around the company and sought help from him.
Quill fell silent for a moment before saying, "Leave it to me."
After Minerva hung up the phone, Vera looked at her quietly. "Have you called Quill? What did hesay?"
"Please continue with your work. I will update you."
"Oh, okay."
Quill called her in the afternoon after lunchtime, telling her that Nash would come to pick her up totake a look at the surveillance footage.
Minerva tidied up her things and was ready to leave. Just as she was about to head downstairs, sheran into Sam.
Sam?
What brought him there? She thought to herself.
"Miss Hanover." Sam had been very polite to her since their last conversation.
"What's the matter?" Minerva stopped and looked at him.
Sam said, "Young Master Yardley wants me to pick you up to discuss the contract termination withhim as your company has breached the contract."
Upon hearing Sam's words, Minerva paused for a moment. Her lips quirked up slightly. "Since yourcompany has already received our notice, it implies that we are willing to compensate youaccording to what was stipulated in the contract. It's none of our business as long as wecompensate you, right? If you need anything, you can contact our lawyer. Do you need his businesscard?"
Sam was tongue-tied.
He was not sure if he was overthinking or Minerva was actually being openly hostile to him. Was itbecause of the words he had said previously? As he thought of that, he coughed lightly andexplained, "Miss Hanover, I had no intention to offend you the last time, you..."
"Sam, I agree with what you've previously said. If there is any misunderstanding, please explain it toYoung Master Yardley on my behalf. I still have something to attend to so please excuse me."
Minerva had spotted Nash's car heading in her direction. She waved at the car and walked overright away.
After that, she opened the door and entered the car.
Watching her retreating figure, Sam was feeling a mix of emotions.
When he saw the car number plate, his eyes narrowed in confusion.novelbin
Wasn't that the Hanover family's car?
"What was her relationship with the Hanover family?" As soon as he thought of that, his expressionhardened.
"What are you doing here?" Asked a voice from behind him.
Sam turned around and saw Vera staring at him with her arms crossed over her chest.
Vera was completely disgusted by him because of their last encounter.
