Consequences of Dumping the Obsessive Boss: Stuck with Him Forever-Chapter 65: The Deepening Misunderstanding Between Two People

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Deepening Misunderstanding Between Two People

Summer Lowell stopped in her tracks, looking at Maxim Sinclair who appeared out of nowhere. Thinking of the familiar figure who had just left their lounge, she was silent for two seconds before suddenly laughing, "All of this, was done by you, wasn’t it?"

Maxim Sinclair slowly narrowed his eyes, "Summer, I advise you to figure out the facts before jumping to conclusions!"

"The facts?"

Having been hit unexpectedly and terribly shaken, Summer, who had lost most of her rationality, opened the safe in her hand with one hand, quickly walked a few steps to Maxim, picked up the brooch broken into two halves from the box, and questioned him sharply, "Dare you say this brooch wasn’t sabotaged by you on purpose?"

Assistant Collins, who came down with Maxim Sinclair, seeing Summer indiscriminately questioning Maxim, was immediately angered, "Miss Lowell, you need evidence to speak! President Sinclair was in the lounge the entire time earlier, he didn’t sabotage your competition entry at all."

Summer scoffed coldly, staring intently at Maxim, "Our Stellart Design Department only has two S-level projects, for the previous one you spent a lot of money to poach two of our company’s important designers."

"So what?" Maxim looked at Summer untouched, "Just because those two designers were willing to work for Sinclair Group, you think I broke your competition entry? Summer, your logic is truly impeccable!"

The commotion of their argument was not small, and before long, it alerted the organizers.

Maxim Sinclair reached out to stop the organizing staff who wanted to inquire about the situation with Summer, "This is some personal grievance between her and me, unrelated to the competition, you guys just continue with your work as usual."

After dismissing the organizing staff, Maxim turned to look at Summer once again, his face devoid of any smile, "You better calm down and really think about what you’re saying."

"I am very calm," Summer reclosed the safe in her hand, then stared at Maxim, smirking self-deprecatingly, "Maxim Sinclair, you are nothing but a base and shameless person. You’ll stop at nothing to take revenge on me; I’ve truly seen through you."

Hearing this, Assistant Collins immediately turned his head in fear to see Maxim’s reaction.

Still expressionless, Maxim looked back at Summer and said lightly, "Well said, is there more? Go on."

After he spoke, Summer instead lost the desire to continue cursing him. After a moment, driven by the remaining discontent in her heart, she added, "I truly regret knowing you. If I could, I would never want to see you again in this lifetime."

Finishing the last sentence, Summer left the competition venue, not looking back.

Assistant Collins looked at Summer’s angry figure leaving the doorway, then glanced at the people around who were casting furtive glances. He approached Maxim and reminded him in a low voice, "President Sinclair, there are too many people here, we should leave first."

Maxim’s eyes wavered undecidedly, then he turned and strode out.

Assistant Collins, who quickly caught up, quietly instructed the nearby bodyguard, "Tell the driver to bring the car to the main entrance. President Sinclair is in a bad mood; don’t keep him waiting."

After getting in the car, just as Assistant Collins fastened his seatbelt, he heard Maxim speak from the back seat.

"Special Assistant Collins."

Assistant Collins quickly turned his head, "Here I am, President Sinclair, go ahead."

"What’s the progress on Summer’s Four Seasons Breeze project?"

"It’s already in the semifinals. It’s said to have a high chance of winning the finals, and because of this, the two shareholders from the Leonia headquarters at Stellart have recently improved their attitude towards her quite a bit."

Assistant Collins answered carefully, but in his heart, he was secretly sighing, Summer probably really angered Maxim this time.

Sure enough, Maxim gave a light laugh, "Since she thinks I’m such a person, I’ll let her see how despicable I can really be."

"President Sinclair, do you mean to say?"

"Intercept that Four Seasons Breeze project."

Assistant Collins was briefly stunned, not expecting Maxim to say such a thing. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again.

"Today’s failure in the competition is already a heavy blow to Miss Lowell. If you intercept her Four Seasons Breeze project, I’m afraid... President Sinclair, shouldn’t you cool down before making this decision?"

"No need," Maxim twisted open a bottle of water, gulped down half of it, then sneered, "I’m just the type of person who only does base deeds; of course, I have to use the most despicable way to deserve the credit."

That was clearly something said out of anger.

Dedicated Assistant Collins deliberated over his tone and reminded him once again, "Miss Lowell might have been temporarily unable to accept her hard work being suddenly damaged and unintentionally took her anger out on you. You don’t need to take it to heart."

"She wasn’t venting at all," Maxim’s face immediately darkened, "She suspected from the start that I was the one who damaged her competition entry. It’s clear the words she just said were all from the heart."

"There must be some misunderstanding," Assistant Collins remembered the time Maxim had kept Summer at Varden Villa, and tactfully reminded him, "President Sinclair, do you remember when Miss Lowell lived at Varden Villa before?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Assistant Collins sighed inwardly and began to explain, "President, at that time, both the butler and I had advised you that your actions might frighten Miss Lowell, but you didn’t believe us. Seeing the current situation, Miss Lowell might have been scared by you then, which is why she instinctively suspects you when something happens."

"So what?"

Seeing that Maxim had listened to his words, Assistant Collins carefully chose his words and continued to persuade, "Miss Lowell’s situation in the branch was already tough. If we just go ahead and intercept the Four Seasons Breeze project like that, I’m afraid Miss Lowell wouldn’t be able to stay in Stellart!"

Assistant Collins silently added in his heart.

"If you act so viciously, it’ll only be harder for you to coax her back then!"

Assistant Collins’s intention was to persuade Maxim not to quarrel with Summer and to use the evidence of those who framed Summer behind her back, which he had.

He could completely use this evidence to make Summer happy.

As long as the misunderstanding was resolved, there was still a great hope of bringing the lady boss back home.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the not-so-calm Maxim and Assistant Collins were not on the same page at all, "With what you’ve said, I all the more should ruin the Four Seasons Breeze project sooner."

Guessing his intentions made Assistant Collins break out in a cold sweat, "Miss Lowell has a very strong career drive. President, if you continue to obstruct her career development, it will be difficult to break the ice in your relationship in the future."

"That’s for the best," Maxim said, restraining his anger, "If she can’t stay at Stellart, I’ll have more opportunities to torment her, make her admit her mistakes, and come back to me obediently."

"But acting like this will only push her further away!"

Assistant Collins opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, but didn’t dare to say these words in his heart, "Okay, I’ll arrange someone to negotiate."

"The sooner, the better. Best if the Four Seasons Breeze project is intercepted within a week."

"Yes."

At the Stellart Branch, outside the president’s office.

Summer sat on the sofa at the entrance with her eyes downcast, looking dejected.
