Chapter 635
Madelyn forcefully wiped away the traces he had left on her. She did not know if he did it on purpose.
Before work, she stopped at the restroom and saw a small cut on her lip in the mirror.
She touched it lightly and thought, ‘Is he a dog?”
She had hidden a mark on her neck with makeup before getting to work.
The sound of someone flushing echoed in the washroom. The door opened, and Jane emerged fromwithin the stall. She glanced indifferently at Madelyn and walked to the sink next to hers. Then, shewashed her hands and walked away without even greeting.
Madelyn had always noticed the unexplainable hostility Jane had toward her. While the two of themwere from the same studio, they hardly talked. Madelyn only spoke to Jane when she had to.
Madelyn quickly freshened up and returned to the studio.
She opened the door and saw Clement holding a stack of documents.
*Madelyn? Aren’t you sick and on leave? Why’d you come back so quickly?”
Madelyn smiled and said, “Mhm. I was discharged early. Thanks for covering for me for the past fewdays.”
“No worries. It’s my pleasure.”
Meanwhile, Dorian–who had come over to print documents–noticed the cut on Madelyn’s lips, whichwas rather thought–provoking.
“What happened to your lips? Don’t tell me your fiance… Showed you what he’s capable of last night?”
“I actually broke off our engagement four years ago, I currently don’t have a fiance,” she replied.
“What?!” someone shouted in astonishment. Many gazes in the office turned to Madelyn.
She talked about it like it was no big deal.
She didn’t want to keep it a secret. If she did, rumors might start.
Things got quiet for a moment. Then Dorian said, “It’s okay. You’ll meet someone even better.”
“I chose to end the engagement,” Madelyn said. “We’re still on good terms.” She looked down. “I needto get back to work.”
She walked past them and went to her desk.
There was not much work for them to do after Leonardo had his art exhibition. They occasionally tookon some projects like the one she was currently working on for a major gaming company. She had tocreate conceptual design drawings for the game’s 3D modelers to use as a manuscript for modelingwork. She also had to create concept landscape paintings. Everyone had their own jobs and a deadlinein three weeks. Madelyn had to catch up.
Madelyn wasn’t very familiar with games, but she always did her best to follow the client’s needs. Shesent her designs once they were done, made any changes they asked for, and sent them back.
Although Madelyn was the youngest in the studio, her capabilities were evident. Over the years, shehad won numerous awards in competitions for her work. Only Leonardo in the studio had won as many.
Leonardo had suggested Madelyn to pursue postgraduate studies, which was something Madelyn hadconsidered.
However, Madelyn did not know how much longer she could hold out. She fell she had no regrets aftershe had been to so many places over the four years.
She sat by herself near a window. Clement came over with food he had gotten for her – chicken soup.
‘I got this soup for you,” Clement sald. “It’ll help since you’re not feeling well.”
Madelyn thanked him and tried a bit. Then, she went back to her work.
Clement joined the group at the big table.novelbin
