Dylan's expression became cooler when he saw she refused to ask him for help.
"You can go now," he ordered coldly.
Relieved, Savannah turned and left the office in a hurry. She could still feel the man staring at her back as she walked away.
***
After that day, Savannah clearly felt that Tony's hostility towards her hardened.
Before, he just set her idle and did not give her any important work, but now he was constantly getting at her.
That was understandable. He was scolded by the big boss in front of his assistant and was asked to revise his design according to the newcomer's words. How could he be reconciled? Savannah was not surprised that he would make things harder for her.
Since Mr. Sterling was not satisfied with the designs, Tony asked every designer and assistant to work overtime to redesign the clothing.
Of course, it was none of Savannah's business.
She was still ordered to do clerical work as before.
When all the other colleagues were busy working, Savannah slightly regretted it.
She should have told the truth when Mr. Sterling asked her how her work was.
At the very least, she would be able to take part in the web show consume design if he ordered Tony.
But she didn't want to ask the big boss for help. Even if she had saved his son, she didn't like to trouble others.
What's more, she didn't know why she dared not face him alone.
Every time she saw the man, she felt her heart beat so thick that it was ready to jump from her body at any moment.
She wondered if she was just attracted by this charming man, but she also felt like a frightened rabbit in front of him, as if she could never escape from his control. That was really a strange feeling.
Anyway, she couldn't take him only as her boss.

This morning, as usual, Tony gave Savannah a pile of papers to make copies.
It was near noon when she went through with the copying work. She stretched herself from the copies and went back to her seat. Tony and his secretary hurried past her and went into the elevator.
"All the department managers are called to a meeting on the top floor." the designer assistant next to her seat turned and whispered, "I heard that the big boss is there today."
The big boss? Mr. Sterling? Did he come again?
Savannah stared for a moment and then buried her head into another pile of papers to continue her unfinished work. But her mind switched off, and she made a lot of typing errors.
After a moment, someone drummed her table with fingertips.
"Savannah, please take the web show to consume designs for Tony now. He'll show them to the big boss and other department heads at the meeting. Oh, the design drawings are in a blue folder on his desk. Be quick!"
Tony didn't even allow her to touch anything on his desk. Why did he entrust her with the important consume designs and even ask her to take them to such an important meeting?
"Sunny, are you sure the director wants me to take the designs up?" asked Savannah, a little confused. Since Sunny had been here, why didn't she take the designs to Tony herself?
Looking around, Sunny said impatiently, "it's almost noon. Everyone's out for dinner. Who else can help? If I had nothing else to do, I would have taken it up myself. Hurry up, the big boss and the heads from other departments are waiting to see the designs." At this, she went upstairs.
Savannah took a deep breath. Maybe they just didn't want her to have lunch on time? She thought of how Tony annoyed the boss that day, and she did not want to repeat Tony's mistake.
She put down her work and went to Tony's office quickly. On the desk, there was a blue folder, as Sunny mentioned. Savannah took the folder in her arm and hurried to the elevator.
The largest meeting room on the top floor was spacious and handsome with large transparent walls. When Savannah got to within ten steps of the room, she could see clearly the people in it.
Mr. Sterling, the most attractive man in the room, sat at the head of the lengthy horseshoe-shaped meeting table. The light coming from the windows behind him made his hair shine to a shade of melting milk chocolate, and his slightly tanned skin glowed, making his stubble covered chin seem darker. Those sitting around the meeting table were supposed to be the managers from other departments. Savannah never had a chance to see most of them.
Tony, as the director of the design department, also sat in it.
Savannah was a little nervous about meeting that man again or seeing so many leaders of the company. She walked to the door and knocked on it, holding the folder tightly. The door was opened, and she walked in.
"Excuse me. I'm from the design department. Here're the new web show consume designs." Savannah said carefully.
The quiet voice of the young woman interrupted the ongoing meeting.
Dylan looked up, and his eyes fell on the little woman at the door.
She was wearing a skirt suit today, looking lovely and charming. Maybe she came in a hurry, Dylan noticed a slight redness in her cheeks. Her voice was so soft that he remembered how she groaned on his bed.
Dylan's eyes darkened. He leaned back on the back of the leather chair and then took the coffee at hand. Fortunately, it was cold. He sipped it a few times to lower the heat that came up in him every time he saw her.
"What are you still standing for? Show the drawings to Mr. Sterling and the managers of other departments." Tony frowned and whispered to Savannah.
Savannah held the folder in her arms and handed the papers to the other people in the meeting room. "Mr. Sterling." When she reached Dylan, she slightly lowered her head and handed the papers to him respectfully.
Dylan stretched out his hand and accidentally touched her finders. Savannah raised her head and found him staring deep into her eyes. The heat in his gaze sparked her. Stunned, she drew her hands back quickly before he held the papers steady. The papers fell from her hand and shattered on the ground.
Seeing her clumsiness, Tony snorted, "you cannot take care of even such a trivial matter."
Everyone looked at Savannah.
Dylan's expression hardened.
