Emily sensed Joyce's anxiety and worry over the phone, so she asked Jacob to take her back to the company immediately.
The black streamlined Maybach flashed through the highway traffic and stopped at the SL Jewelry Building. Emily opened the door hastily and bid goodbye to Jacob without even looking at him. Then she stepped out from the car and headed into the company on her new high heels.
"Wait for... me..."
Before Jacob had finished speaking, the car door slammed. Not even hearing what he said, Emily closed the car door and quickly ran into the building.
"Heartless woman!" Jacob murmured as he watched Emily disappear into the building and into her work.
As Emily entered the building, she became uncomfortably aware that everyone was looking at her disdainfully and talked behind their hands as she passed. Not knowing what had happened, she quickly walked to her office to get away from these people, while her eyebrows knitted together.
"Director Emily! You're back!"
As Emily showed up at the company, some of her team members walked over to her instantly and followed her back to her office.
"What's the matter?" she asked in confusion as she saw a flock of people standing at her office door.
'Joyce knew that I had an appointment with the management of Sky Entertainment Group Limited, so why wouldn't she reschedule appointments for these people? Why was she just letting them wait outside my office?' Emily thought as her mind raced.
But before Emily could ask about it, one of the staff members at her office door had already noticed her coming. "Look! Here she comes," he said in a low voice.
All of a sudden, the people around Emily's office door looked directly at her. Their faces were filled with an unwholesome mix of disdain, shame, and even fear. To Emily, it was like walking into a firing squad.
Human beings fed on misery. Usually, everyone was careful not to offend Emily, but now they gathered together, waiting to make fun of her failure. Emily's eyes swept across several familiar faces, and then she recognized Vivian among those people.
"Joyce, what's the matter?" asked Emily.
Joyce, together with her team, was standing in front of those people, preventing them from intruding further into Emily's office. However, as soon as she saw Emily, she told the other team members to stay where they were, and squeezed out past the crowd to her.
"Director Emily, one of Director Vivian's design drafts has been 'lost'," Joyce breathlessly informed her.
"So?" Emily looked coldly at Vivian as she spoke. She knew clearly what was going to happen without even thinking about it.
Knowing Vivian's intention, Emily looked at her with contempt. Seeing her superior look, Vivian clen
The girl's eyes lit up when she saw the key. But just before she stretched out her hands to reach the key, Vivian took it.
"Now that Ms. Emily has allowed us to search it, I'll do it in person. After all, I'm also a director. It would be more appropriate,"
said Vivian kindly as she walked into Emily's office. Emily pursed her lips and followed Vivian.
Vivian opened the drawer with the key and took out a pile of design drafts and searched through them.
Soon, she excitedly took out a piece of paper from the drafts and looked at Emily sadly.
"Ms. Emily, didn't you just say that you don't have my draft?"
Vivian continued, "So what's this then?"
Vivian held the paper up high and showed it to all the people gathered there.
Her name, Vivian, was on the paper!
"Oh my god! The draft is really in her drawer!" The crowd started to hoot.
"Why did she do this?" one of them doubted.
"Is it because she is jealous of Director Vivian's ability?"
Suddenly, Emily heard all kinds of doubts being voiced. She looked at the draft in Vivian's hand in disbelief and was at a loss to explain this impossibility. 'That draft shouldn't be in my drawer!
There must be something wrong. I have never seen her draft, let alone stolen it. What's more, I don't even want to create such a disgraceful thing!
But no one else has the key. What on earth is going on?' Emily thought in bewilderment.
"Why is the draft here? Director Emily wouldn't steal it! It must be someone else who wants to frame her!" Joyce walked towards Vivian directly and wanted to take the draft, but Vivian dodged her.
"I don't want to believe that Ms. Emily would do such a shameful thing either. But my draft was really in her drawer..." Vivian said plaintively.
'So if not she, then whom else?' Vivian gloated in her heart.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
