Maisie felt that there was no point in sitting here any longer, so she wanted to leave after grabbing her bag.
However, another female colleague who was sitting next to her grabbed her and reminded her in a low voice.
“Why are you throwing a tantrum? Sit down and eat.We’ll just mind our own business and ignore them.”
Maisie did not want to ruin the mood, so she placed her bag down and sat back down.
Laura and the gang ignored Maisie.
They continued to chat while toasting each other.
While they were having fun, the boss of the headquarters arrived.He said he was here to talk business with his client, so he decided to drop by.
A lot of them had never seen the boss from the headquarters before.
They only knew that he was a young and talented man.
Now that they had seen him, they did not expect him to be such a handsome young man.He was wearing a pair of transparent and rimless glasses.
Plus, he was also wearing a suit that made him look polite and gentle.
A lot of the young female employees’ faces turned hot when they saw him.
Fiona’s eyes also started to sparkle when she saw him.
Laura was stunned for a few seconds as well.She did not think that the boss would be such a young and handsome Mr.Perfect.
Right now, he was all that she could see.She did not even want to look at the old and depraved Bill next to her.
The boss walked in front of Laura.
His dark eyes under his glasses looked like they were smiling at her.
“This project was very well done.I saw your design too.Even though some things could be better, it’s perfect.Keep it up.I’ll pay close attention to you.”
Laura did not expect the good-looking boss to praise her like that, so her face turned red from embarrassment.
“Thanks for the validation, Sir.I continue to do my best.”
“Alright.”
The man nodded lightly.
When he turned t o 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 Laura is unwilling.It’s just that everyone is eating at the moment, so we don’t want to spoil the atmosphere.”
“Uh-huh.”
Mr.Lowe smiled, took the tablet, found the design, and then handed it to Maisie.
“It’s rare to have such an open-minded and motivated employee.Take a look at what you can learn from this.”
“Thank you, Mr.Lowe.”
Maisie also politely addressed him and took the tablet.
As soon as she saw the design displayed on the screen, the look in Maisie’s eyes changed immediately.She was shocked when she saw the design, but at the same time, she had already expected it.
Bill seemed to spot the changes on Maisie’s face, so he walked up to her with a grin.
“Maisie, I didn’t expect you to be so eager to learn.Feel free to ask me if you have any questions in the future.I’m also glad that we have an employee like you in our department.”
He looked kind and gentle, but after he said that, he deliberately lowered his head and got close to Maisie to say in a low voice.
“Don’t say anything stupid.”
“Huh? What? Mr.Branson, what did you say?”
Maisie deliberately pretended not to hear him and asked Bill loudly.
“. ..”
Bill’s face darkened.He pursed his lips and did not say anything else.
Maisie looked calmly at Bill, then shifted her gaze to Laura, who was looking very nervous.
Then, she walked straight to Mr.Lowe.
“Mr.Lowe, I need to tell you something.”
Mr.Lowe looked curiously at Maisie who had a serious look on her face.
“What do you want to tell m e?”
“Maisie, we’re here to celebrate Laura, and Mr.Lowe is paying.Don’t ruin the mood.”
Bill quickly came over to stop her.
However, Maisie looked into Mr.Lowe’s confused eyes without changing her expression.
“Mr.Lowe, I’ve seen this design before.”
What? After Maisie said that, the air in the private room immediately became tense.
“Maisie, what are you talking about? This is Laura’s latest draft and she completed this on her own.How could you have seen it before?”
Bill quickly refuted on Laura’s behalf.
Laura also had an innocent look on her face.
“Maisie, this must be a mistake.I came up with this design according to Mr.Rogers’ wishes.How could you have seen it before? There must be some misunderstanding.”
“There isn’t a misunderstanding! I’ve seen it before!”
Maisie retorted without hesitation.
Then, she glared scorchingly at Laura, whose pretense was starting to crumble.
“This design of yours is the same as Ava’s design.This is not your design at all.You plagiarized Ava’s work!”
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.
