“Alright.” The man nodded lightly. When he turned to leave, he saw Maisie who was sullenly nursing her drink.He asked curiously in a friendly manner, “Miss, you don’t seem to be very happy. Are you having any troubles at work?”The boss had unexpectedly noticed her, so Maisie was stunned for a moment. Then, she stood up. She did not look timid and said outrightly, “Sir, thank you for your concern but I don't have any troubles at work. I just want to see Laura’s design so that us juniors can learn from her, but Laura seems to be unwilling to show it to us, so I’m a little disappointed.”Laura and Bill did not expect Maisie to say that. Their expressions turned unpleasant.The young and handsome boss smiled generously. “I see, you just want to learn. This is easy to take care of.”The boss looked back at Bill. “Bill, did you bring the tablet?”Bill did not dare to waste any time and immediately delivered the tablet over with a smile. Then, he explained, “Mr. Lowe, it’s not that La

Maisie directly exposed Laura without considering her feelings.Laura’s and Bill's faces froze at the same time. Their expressions seemed very unnatural.Meanwhile, Mr. Lowe was very calm. Moreover, there was also an elegant and warm smile on his face. “Did you just say that this design was plagiarized? Do you have any proof?”“Mr. Lowe is right.”Bill hurriedly interjected, turning his head to glare at Maisie with a dark expression on his face.“Maisie, don’t slander others. Laura came up with this design with great effort. What evidence do you have to say that she plagiarized it? Besides, Ava has been busy dating for a while now. She hasn’t been able to concentrate on her work at all. In addition to that, her work level has plummeted recently and her designs are a mess. How could Laura have plagiarized her work?”“I’m not slandering her, and I’m not talking nonsense.” Maisie's reaction was also very calm. Then, she looked at Bill, who was hinting at her to shut up. “Ava came up

Maisie's call got through very quickly. She very decisively went straight to the point, saying, “Ava, I'm at Glendale Restaurant right now. I saw an interesting design here. Your design that was rejected by Mr. Branson which you deleted is now with Laura. She even claims that it's hers but it's clearly yours. Ava, are you free to come over now?”As they listened to Maisie’s words, Laura and Bill looked at each other. They were obviously feeling a little nervous.However, they had all heard just now that Ava had deleted the previous design. Hence, they did not need to be too nervous.When they were about to take deep breaths to relax, they suddenly heard Maisie's happy response. “Ava, you and your friends are having dinner at Glendale Restaurant too? I’ll go get you from your private room. What’s the room number…”Maisie said as she walked toward the door.Bill glanced at Laura in a panic before walking to Mr. Lowe's side.“Mr. Lowe, Maisie has just graduated. She hasn’t been in o

After Ava said that in a joking tone, she turned her attention to Laura, whose face was gradually falling. “Actually, I saw the draft when I was bringing the coffee over to you this afternoon. However, I wasn’t in the mood to expose you then.”As she said that, she looked at Bill, whose forehead was drenched in cold sweat. “I also knew that you wanted to drive me away when you so kindly asked me to take a break and go home. Bill, we’ve been working together for so many years yet you think I don’t know what kind of person you are?”“...”Bill’s complexion was growing worse. Even though he was nervous, he still did not forget to retort.“Ava, what are you talking about? What do you mean I’m purposely driving you away? I saw how you’ve not been concentrating at work, so I asked you to go back to rest out of kindness. It’s fine that you don’t appreciate my kindness, but you’re even slandering me now. Y-You—”“Only dogs slander people. I don’t do that. I’m only telling the truth,” Ava

Ava slowly took out her phone. As she operated it, she said slowly.“Mr. Branson, I told you I was almost done with Mr. Rogers’ design a long time ago. However, my laptop at home broke down so I had to go back to the office during the weekend to finish it. However, you didn’t listen to me and you said I was too busy dating, that I wasn’t concentrating on my work at all. Plus, you were so sure that I had just randomly sketched something before submitting it.“Well, I’ve fixed my laptop and it clearly shows my original design, as well as the timestamps when I was working on it.”“...”The corners of Bill’s lips twitched, while Laura’s face froze.When Maisie saw Bill and Laura’s faces at one side, she was amused.“So where’s your original design?” Mr. Lowe asked.Ava smiled and turned around. “My boyfriend is sending it over right now. The laptop was just fixed not long ago.”After she said that, a tall and slender figure appeared at the door.When Ava saw Daniel, she smiled swe

“And you!” Maisie pointed at Bill without showing him any signs of respect. “You knew she was plagiarizing Ava’s work but you chose to turn a blind eye. You’re obviously keeping her as your secret lover!”The sweat on Bill’s forehead increased as he did not expect Maisie to directly accuse him.“T-That’s not it.” Bill tried to explain himself as he did not dare to offend Maisie anymore. However, he did not know what he could say.“If that’s not it, then what exactly is going on?” Mr. Lowe suddenly spoke.When Mr. Lowe said that, Bill was even more sure there was something unusual going on between him and Maisie.He could tell that his boss was siding with Maisie.Bill lifted his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead and stammered, “M-My eyesight is not good, so I might have missed it as I was not paying attention. Also, look, there are some differences in these two designs…”“Do you need to quibble over these small differences?” Maisie lifted her beautiful eyebrows and pee

Bill quickly shushed her and closed the door of the private room.“My queen, please, you should be careful when you speak. We can’t offend Maisie!”“What do you mean? She’s just a fresh graduate, so why should you be scared of her? You couldn’t even speak after she called you out.” Laura rolled her eyes while feeling pissed.Bill reached out and placed a hand on Laura’s shoulder to try to comfort her.However, Laura pushed Bill’s hand away in disgust.Bill was not mad. He reached out to hold Laura again. However, Laura did not avoid him this time.“Tell me, who is Maisie? Why are you so scared of her?”“My queen, couldn’t you tell? Mr. Lowe kept siding with her just now and helping her. Otherwise, how would we have lost?”When Laura heard Bill say that, she rolled her beautiful eyes and asked in disbelief.“Do you mean Maisie is having an affair with Mr. Lowe?”“I’m sure of it!” Bill said in certainty, “Baby, if you want to continue staying in this company, you should go and

Ava could tell that those were the voices of her colleagues in the same department.“Everything makes sense now. Who would dare to do that without being in that kind of relationship?”“Yeah, remember how pleased she looked last night? How arrogant!”The two people Maisie called out yesterday, Fiona and Kendra, were gossiping loudly and unrestrainedly in the elevator. They even mentioned Maisie by name.There were a lot of employees from other departments as well, and a lot of them heard their conversation. Then, they messaged their colleagues about this. Soon, this news spread to everyone.Ava could not listen to this anymore, so when the elevator arrived at their floor, she followed her two colleagues out.“Fiona, Kendra,” she called out to the two women in front of her.Fiona and Kendra stopped walking and eventually realized that Ava was also in the elevator.When they recalled what they had said in the elevator just now, their expressions started to look unpleasant.Ava wa
