Chapter 50 The Man She Eloped With
The strangeness of Stanley was seen by Phoebe beside him.
Phoebe followed his gaze and saw the hickey on Violet's neck. She trembled suddenly. A huge sense of crisis suddenly surged in her heart, and her breathing became rapid.
As a bystander, she could see very clearly it was that Stanley felt jealous when he was staring at Violet's neck!
It had been just a few days! Stanley actually had feelings for Violet! She, Phoebe, had been by his side for five years, but he was unwilling to even look at her directly. It couldn’t continue like that. She had to drive Violet away, otherwise she would never feel at ease!
Thinking of this, Phoebe clenched her fists tightly, and began to plan in her mind.
Before long, the meeting ended. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
People left one after another. Soon, there were only three of them left in the meeting room.
Violet stood up and was about to discuss with Stanley about models. The door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open. A tall man walked in.
"Stanley, long time no see!" The man greeted Stanley with a smile.
Stanley narrowed his eyes. He stared at the man coldly, and slowly uttered the man's name, "Ivan!"
Ivan?
The name was so similar to Stanley. Were they brothers?
Thinking of this, Violet looked over curiously. She opened her mouth in surprise after seeing Ivan's face.
It was him!
Violet's reaction was seen by Phoebe. Phoebe deliberately raised her voice and asked, "Violet, do you know brother?"
Hearing this, Stanley's gaze instantly shifted to Violet, as if he was confirming whether Phoebe's words were true.
Violet nodded and shook her head in the face of his scrutinizing eyes, "I don't know him. I just saw him..."
Before she finished speaking, Ivan interrupted her suddenly, pretending to be sad, "It's really sad that you said that. I'm here specifically for you today."
"Come for me?" Violet pointed to her nose, feeling a little confused.
"Yes, I specifically inquired others and knew you were working here, so I came here." Ivan walked towards her.
Violet was not familiar with him, so she didn't want to be so close to him. She subconsciously stepped back. The direction of her stepping back happened to be behind Stanley. But before she took a few steps back, Ivan grabbed her hand.
Ivan smiled evilly, "Why do you hide from me? Am I so scary? You didn't hide from me last night!"
Last night?
Hearing this, Stanley was stunned. His hand that had originally planned to pull Violet over also stopped in the air. It took a while before he took his hand back, his face extremely gloomy.
It turned out that the hickey on her neck were left by Ivan!
Phoebe could naturally think of what Stanley could think of, not to mention that Ivan's words were originally so ambiguous.
"Brother, what is the relationship between you and Violet?" Phoebe endured the ups and downs in her mind, pretending to be curious.
Stanley's ears moved a little. Obviously, he was also very concerned about this question.
Ivan noticed Stanley's reaction from the corner of his eye and then he smiled, "Can't you guys see it?"
Violet's eyes widened. She stared at him in astonishment. How could she not tell that he was deliberately letting others misinterpret their relationship? Her face flushed with anger.
But just when she was about to refute, Phoebe spoke first, "Of course I can see it. I just want to confirm it."
She didn't understand why God was so unfair to her and always allowed Violet to meet such nice men. Not only Stanley was attracted by Violet, but even Ivan...
However, this was also a good thing. If Violet and Ivan were together, Stanley would give up on Violet, right?
Thinking of here, Phoebe pulled Stanley's arm, pretending to be amazed, "Stanley, I didn't expect that Violet and the eldest brother are actually a couple."
A couple?
Stanley's thin lips pressed tightly, only feeling these two words extremely harsh.
Violet was pissed off by Phoebe. She pulled a long face and quickly explained, "Director Hunt, you have misunderstood. I am not familiar with this Mr. Murphy at all!"
When she said this, she didn't know why she secretly glanced at Stanley. She didn’t want Stanley to misunderstand her.
It was just that Stanley's face was still cold and expressionless. She couldn't tell whether he believed her or not. Then she couldn't help but feel a little lost for a while.
"Violet, I knew you were still angry with me." Ivan's eyes suddenly dimmed. Then he showed a bitter smile.
Violet was stunned. She was so confused, "What are you talking about? Why am I angry with you?"
"Of course I left without saying goodbye and abandoned you back then, so..."
"Enough!" Stanley suddenly stood up from the main position.
Back then…
It turned out that Ivan was the one who eloped with Violet back then. No wonder Calvin looked so much like him, because he and Ivan were cousins. So there would inevitably be some similarities in appearance.
"Stanley, what's the matter with you?" Phoebe pretended not to know the reason of Stanley's reaction, and asked with concern.
Stanley ignored her. His cold and sharp eyes swept across the faces of Violet and Ivan. He said without emotion, "This is the Murphy Group, not a public place for you guys to confess!"
Sure enough, he still misunderstood her!
Violet bit her lower lip, "Mr. Murphy, I am not..."
"You're right. Violet, let’s go out." Before Violet could finish speaking, Ivan took her and walked to the door of the meeting room.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Violet was unwilling, trying to get rid of him.
But Ivan grabbed her wrist so tightly that she couldn't shake it off at all.
In this way, she was dragged out of the meeting room by Ivan.
Stanley looked at the direction they were leaving with gloomy eyes.
Phoebe stood beside him, "Stanley, there seems to be some misunderstanding between brother and Violet."
Stanley did not speak, and just went out of the meeting room. As soon as he went out, he saw Ivan and Violet entering the elevator.
In the elevator.
Ivan finally let go of Violet.
Violet rubbed her aching wrist and looked at him angrily, "Mr. Murphy, why did you say those words which would let others misunderstand in the meeting room? We only met yesterday, but what did you say? Back then? What did you want to do? "
"Don't you understand? I like you." Ivan pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Violet sneered, "Like me? Do you think I would believe such ridiculous things?"
Ivan shrugged, "I know you won't believe it, but what I said is true. I fell in love with you at first sight. As for why I said that, I just wanted to tell others that we were together a long time ago. Then there won’t
be other men approaching you."
Violet's face sank immediately, "Mr. Murphy, do you know that your behavior is shameful!"
Not only shameful, but also very crazy.
She didn't want to be in the same space with such a person!
Taking a deep breath, reluctantly suppressing the anger, Violet stretched out her hand, ready to press the elevator.
But Ivan stepped sideways and blocked the elevator button, "Well, I admit that I'm wrong on this matter. So what about I invite you to dinner to apologize to you?"
"No need!" Violet coldly refused.
However, Ivan didn't seem to hear it. When the elevator reached the underground parking lot, he pulled her straight to the front of the car and forced her into the car.
Violet had no choice but to follow him to the restaurant. After having a hasty meal, Ivan suddenly answered the phone and left with a gloomy face.
Violet took a taxi back to the Murphy Group. As soon as she stepped into the office, she heard gossips from everyone.
