The Good Girl's Revenge

Chapter 313

He forced a faint smile, being deep in thought.

What did Nora say to him just now?

Derek had no affair with her?

Did he really misunderstand?

Nora, on the other hand, looked more relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. Derek's attitude was

normal. It would be bad if she really agreed to Mr. Specter's unreasonable demands.

In the end, Harvey did not dare to take the risk and chose the second contract.

Derek said coolly, "In addition, there is also another clause. During the cooperation, Nora, the designer

of the SPECTER Group is fully responsible for this project. In order to improve the progress, she'd

better to be trained at the Xavier Group and participate in this design until the contract ends."

In other words, Nora needed to stay temporarily at Xavier Group for three months as a designer of the

cooperative company.

Harvey immediately agreed, but he couldn't help but wonder if Nora and Derek were very close in

private.

Nora was stunned. She knew that she would be a responsible designer if the cooperation went well,

but she did not expect that Derek would ask her to stay at the Xavier Group.

She watched the two of them sign the contract, frowning. Ever since she was photographed by

Sheldon's mother last time, she had been trying to keep the Xaviers at a distance.

But now, somehow, they seemed to be getting closer to each other.

Two days later, Nora started her first day in the Design Department of Xavier Group. The three-month

design cooperation officially began. At noon, Derek called her to the president's office.

"How did you feel? If there's anything you don't like, you can tell me."

She said, shaking her head, "I'm fine. There's nothing wrong. Thank you, Mr. Xavier."

Derek got up and walked to the file cabinet. "The clothing industry is one of the core industries of the

Xavier Group. The design project in the second half of the year is very important. I'll get you some

information. Go back and take a good look."

At this moment, the landline on the table rang.

His office was huge, and the filing cabinet was a distance from his desk. Derek glanced at it and

motioned for Nora to press the connect button. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Damian's voice came.

"Mr. Xavier, there's something wrong with the r & d department. Please come over and take a look."

Derek frowned and said, "Sit here for a while. I'll be back soon." Then he strode out of the office.

Nora had no choice but to wait.

In fact, she really wanted to say that she could come here later. She felt that it wasn't proper to be

alone in the president's office.

Seeing that the internal line was not turned off, she raised her hand to turn it off. When she withdrew

her hand, she accidentally touched a picture frame on the side and the frame fell down.

Nora was startled and immediately tried to straighten it up. When she caught sight of the person in the

photo, she was stunned.

There was only one woman in the photo. In a white dress, she had a bright smile on her face in a green

garden.

She was beautiful, but Nora was sure she didn't know her. But the moment she met the woman's eyes,

a sharp pain immediately attacked her brain.

Nora stood up and took two steps back. She gripped the photo frame tightly and stared at the woman

in the frame in shock, her wrist trembling slightly.

"Ah..."

Her brain was bloated and her nerves were throbbing in pain, and a few blurry fragments flashed

through her mind. She could not capture them at all, but those fragments were like a knife, stirring in

her mind. Her face turned pale from the pain.

What happened? Nora was in a panic, wondering what was wrong with her.

With a bang, the frame in her hand fell uncontrollably. The glass shattered all over the floor. She froze

and the pain passed.

At this moment, Derek came back.

As he glanced over the broken frame on the ground, his face darkened and he said in a cold voice,

"Who allowed you to touch it?"

Nora was startled. She looked at him and then at the ground. Her face turned even paler. She shook

her head and said, "I... I'm sorry. I just, I, I didn't mean it. I'm really sorry."

Unable to explain what had happened to her just now, she could only keep apologizing. The girl in this

photo must be someone important to him.

Nora's heart was filled with guilt and a tinge of indescribable bitterness.

Derek walked over, carefully picked up the photo, and gently brushed the glass shards on it as if he

was protecting a treasure.

He looked at her coldly. His forehead knotted as he saw that she didn't look well, but he didn't ask

anything. He said faintly, "Get out."

Nora had no face to stay here. After bowing with an apology, she left with her head down.

Derek looked at the person in the photo with tenderness that he had never shown to anyone else.

Suddenly, he was in a trance. The woman's face in the photo actually overlapped with Nora's.

He froze and immediately returned to his senses, his face darkening. Thinking of what Nora had done

just now, he walked to his desk and turned on the monitor playback on his computer.

He stared intently at the screen and saw Nora lost her composure with her hands covering her head in

pain. A flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Derek magnified the picture and watch it over and over again. The guesses that had never been

verified in his heart were all rushed up at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, he managed to calm himself down and called Damian up.

"Did you find anything about what I asked you to do last time?"

Damian immediately understood what he was referring to, and he said with a serious expression, "Mr.

Xavier, I did find some clues. There's really something wrong with Miss Gray."

"I didn't find anything about her. Her past seems to be non-existent and completely untraceable. Every

time I try to probe deeper, I fail as if there was an invisible force blocking it."

"But it's still easy to investigate people who are close to her. So far, one thing I can be sure of is that

Miss Gray has lost her memory."

His words made Derek's heart skip a beat, and his face changed. "Lost her memory? When?" he

asked.

Damian lowered his eyes and replied, "...Five years ago." What he has said afforded much food for

thought.

Derek tied to keep his composure, but his slightly trembling voice still exposed the ups and downs of

his heart at this moment.

"Damian, do you think..."

As Derek's assistant, as well as his underling and confidant, Damian knew about his boss.

"The memory loss of Miss Gray is not a secret in the circle of people she knows. Mr. Xavier, are you

ready to take action?"
