After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities
Chapter 232

Looking at her dewy eyes, Franklin cast his eyes down and approached, "Honey, I can buy LX for you. What do you think?"

Sylvia snorted, "If I want it, I can get it easily."

With those words, she strode toward her coworkers.

Franklin frowned slightly, wondering what she meant precisely and whether she implied many men would buy it for her to gain her favor. Sylvia went to Shiloh, who was chatting with their coworkers while holding a glass of wine. None of them had expected Franklin to be the major investor.

Seeing Sylvia come over, Shiloh asked, "Boss, are you Sylvia Andrews?"

"Ms. X, Sylvia Andrews is an online celebrity. We've been working together for such a long time. None of us has seen your face before." "X, can we take a look, please?"

“Let us see your face."

"X, what's your relationship with Mr. Maskelyne? He seems to care about you a lot."

Several coworkers started to jest.

Amused, Sylvia shook her head. Before replying to them, a woman said in jealousy, "Mrs. Maskelyne is at home. Someone must have done something dirty to get promoted."

"What do you mean, Luz?" Shiloh said sullenly.

"No implications. Just the literal meaning.” Luz Craig chuckled in disdain, "Or why did someone scold her in her presence? Would they have cursed her if she hadn't done anything shameful?"

Luz was on good terms with Reina, whose career and life had been ruined.

Since Reina had been kicked out of LX Fashion Company, the design director's position was vacant. Luz had thought she had the competence to become the new design director. However, Designer X had just won a prize and became the biggest obstacle for her to be promoted.

Therefore, she detested Sylvia, thinking Sylvia was too triumphant just because of that prize.

Earlier, she witnessed two women curse Sylvia, so she believed Sylvia must have done something disgusting.

Besides, Sylvia hit on Franklin, the most handsome, influential man. Luz might have hidden her disgust toward Sylvia well earlier. After seeing how uniquely Franklin treated Sylvia, she could hardly control her jealousy and hatred.

They both were designers, but Designer X seemed to be extremely lucky. She hadn't only won a prize but also attracted the most outstanding man's attention.

Shiloh wanted to retort to her, but Sylvia tugged her arm to stop her. “Let's go over there."

"X, why did you stop me? I was about to curse her." Shiloh angrily followed Sylvia to a quiet balcony.

Sylvia beamed at her. "It's not worth getting even with that kind of woman. Let her enjoy the short victory of winning a verbal fight."

She peered out the window to enjoy the night view.

Besides, her initial goal of becoming an LX designer was to...

Forget it. She brought herself out of her scattered thoughts.

"X, if there's a new design director in our department, it must be you," Shiloh flattered her.

Sylvia shook her head. “I'm not interested."

Although talking to Mike, Franklin paid attention to Sylvia, checking on her occasionally.

Seeing Luz insult Sylvia, he furrowed his brows slightly and was angered by how bold Luz was to humiliate Sylvia.

Luz noticed his glance, feeling joyful. She wondered if Franklin had a crush on her. However, she ignored his disgusted and cold gaze, straightening her dress.

Then she picked up a glass of wine from a waiters tray, swinging toward Franklin.

She thought Franklin had shown a sign to her, so she must act smartly. Luz felt complacent.

Standing next to Franklin and Mike, she couldn't repress her thumping heart when facing Franklin at such a short distance.

With a closer look, she found him more handsome and elegant. His every movement indicated he was a nobleman with elegance.

Gazing at him obsessively and thinking he took the initiative to hit on her, Luz raised her goblet and said coquettishly, "Mr. Maskelyne, let's have a drink."

Franklin darted at her from the corner of his eye and said to Mike, "I like your ideas, Mr. Alexander. That's impressive."

Luz tightened her grip on the goblet, her smile frozen. A trace of embarrassment flashed through her face.

Things were different than she had imagined as Franklin ignored her. He was staring at her earlier, wasn't he?

In a panic, Luz tried hard to keep her smile and added, "Mr. Maskelyne, you've become the major shareholder of LX. I look forward to working with you in the future.”

"Working with me? Do you think you deserve it?" Franklin chuckled ironically. Holding his goblet, he clinked it with Mike.

Mike left sensibly, leaving the private space for Franklin and Luz.

Luz paled, glaring at the handsome man in disbelief. “I... I beg your pardon. You just..."

"Who are you?" Franklin wondered what the stupid woman wanted to say, his eyes filled with impatience.

"You stared at me just now. Don't you like me?" Luz looked at him, feeling heartbroken. She thought she looked pitiful while shedding tears, and Franklin would want to protect her and dote on her.

Franklin understood what she referred to, finally. "I see what you mean."

He looked at Luz up and down. The woman couldn't compare to Sylvia in terms of body shape, appearance, character, and talent. He was surprised such an ordinary scum had been so bold to provoke Sylvia. Noticing his gaze, Luz had a ray of hope again and thought Franklin had recalled he stared at her earlier.

She twisted her body, acting cute while clinging to him. "Mr. Maskelyne, take it easy. You'll have a great night with me. I'm better than Designer X."

Franklin flinched. Luz was off guard, almost falling to the ground. Standing in embarrassment and disappointment, she was shocked as it was out of her expectation again.

"Kick her out! Let LX fire her!" Franklin ordered icily. Jasper rushed to Luz with several bodyguards in black.

After capturing Luz, they dragged her toward the entrance. Luz was baffled. "No... Please, Mr. Maskelyne. Why are you doing this? Mr. Maskelyne..."

Franklin sternly strode toward Sylvia, who was chatting and laughing with Mike.

He felt hurt as Sylvia didn't notice how hard he tried to clean the obstacles for her. Instead, she was chatting with another man.

"Mr. Alexander, you invited me to work with you on one design project? Are you serious?" Sylvia asked, her jaws going slack, her eyes filled with surprise.

Mike wore a loving smile and didn't look as stern as on the stage. He was like an easygoing elder. "Yes, I am. Ms. X, I like your talents very much.”

Sylvia nodded at him with a smile. “Thank you, Mr. Alexander. I'll try my best to do it well.”

"After I finish my current work, I'll go to H Rovirsa in person. Then we can work on the design project.” Mike looked forward to the scene. "H Rovirsa is a beautiful country.”

"You are welcomed to visit my country at any time." Sylvia reached out her hand to shake hands with him.

Before Mike took her hand, a large hand gripped it.
