Love after Divorce

Chapter 20

Violet came to the marketing department to see the person in charge.

"Miss Helena, the Manager has a temporary engagement, and he asked you to meet him at Washington Restaurant to sign the contract."

The assistant's words caused Violet to frown slightly.

What a coincidence!

Did that mean she needed to socialize a little bit?

She understood that socializing was inevitable when doing business.

"Okay."

Violet headed to the restaurant with pleasure.

Following the instruction, she came to a private room.

She pushed the door open. It was bustling inside.

The men and women sat in a circle, laughing and giggling.

Violet scanned the crowd. When she saw someone in the crowd, the smile on her face froze.

It was Cooper!

Why was he here too?

"Miss Helena, there you are."

Manager Jacob saw Violet and got up to greet her with a smile.

Violet smiled lightly, "Mr. Jacob, if you have a social engagement, I can sign the contract later."

Intuitively, it didn't seem easy for her to sign this contract today.

"They are no strangers. Come here and sit down."

Manager Jacob gestured her to come over the table.

Before Violet aired her opinions, she was asked to sit next to Cooper.

At this time, the bruises on Cooper's face had not yet receded, and he was hugging a sexually-dressed woman.

He watched Violet taking her seat, let go of the woman beside him, and looked at her with a smile.

"Miss Helena. I am Cooper Burke. I'm in charge of most of the Johnson Group's operations."

Manager Jacob handed Violet a glass of wine with unknown intention.

Did Jacob mean that she had to kiss Cooper's ass if she wanted to take the makeup business?

Violet's eyes moved slightly and she was speechless for a moment.

Cooper came closer to her, "Miss Helena, we meet again. Your skin looks so good. You deserve to be called the famous make-up artist."Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Cooper deliberately blew in her ear, flirting with her.

Violet was really disgusted with that and feigned to be surprised when looked at his face.

"Mr. Burke, what happened to your face? Did someone beat you? Who dares do so to you?"

She just reminded Cooper of being beaten by Louis.

He should know that she was the woman Louis slept with.

She hoped he could restrain himself a bit.

Cooper did calm down as expected.

He sat up straight, and there was gloom flashing in his eyes. "No one dares beat me. I was too drunk and fell on the ground." "Well, it's better to drink less in the future, so you don't fall again." Violet mocked at him in her heart, but her words was still polite.

Manager Jacob saw that Cooper was not happy and hurriedly said, "Miss Helena, we all saw your live broadcast. Mr. Burke approves your make-up skill. That's why he decides to give the business to your studio. Now, shouldn't you toast Mr. Burke?"

Hearing this, Violet looked apologetic.

"Mr. Jacob, to be honest, I am supposed to do so. But I am a make-up artist, if I drink, my hands will shake. In order not to ruin my reputation, I never drink."

She understood now. Today's engagement was specially carried out by Cooper, the womanizer to set her up.

She had to find a way to get out of here quickly.

"No alcohol? Juice then?"

Manager Jacob picked up a glass of grape juice for Violet.

The liquid in the glass glowed under the light.

Violet was silent. Then she took the glass and looked at Cooper.

"Mr. Burke, thank you for your appreciation. I toast to you with juice instead of wine."

She had already made an excuse not to drink wine, so it would be unreasonable to refuse again.
