Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

"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 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 me?"

"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!"
