Chapter 23 Making Enemies
Questioned in this way, Tilly was flustered. She would never admit that she felt threatened by Charlotte’s talent in designing which enabled her to enhance those designs effortlessly. This left Tilly in a dangerous spot, and she must drive Charlotte out of the company as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she would risk losing her position in the company.
Tilly replied viciously, “Regardless of whether you are a newcomer or an old-timer, you have to bear responsibility for your mistakes.”
“What’s going on?” At that moment, Tilly was interrupted by a man’s gentle voice.
As Tilly saw the man step in, she instantly regained her composure and transformed into a different person. She exclaimed softly in a disheartened tone, “Mr. Gibson, look at this! Our department’s hard work for the past 6 months has gone down the drain because of her.”
She gathered the files on the table as she spoke and stalked over to Christopher. She then handed the files over to him.
Christopher looked over at Charlotte, who was currently neither servile nor overbearing. He raised his eyebrows, took the design drafts, and began flipping through the stack.
Tilly glared at Charlotte with fiery eyes, then coyly complained to Christopher.
“Mr. Gibson, look, the original designs were far from this. However, this newcomer modified them without permission. Look at how different they are! There’s no going back now, these designs are all void. I’m sure you’re also aware that we do not keep backups as an extended measure against plagiarism and commercial espionage.”
As Christopher nearly finished viewing the documents, disbelief manifested itself on his face.
Tilly’s unending chatter flitted past his ears like a breeze. He looked at Charlotte and asked, “Are these your designs?”
Charlotte nodded. She replied with a wry smile, “That’s right. Ms. Page said I turned the designs into trash.”
“Isn’t that so? You’re just a newbie. What do you know?” Tilly’s eyes were filled with arrogance.
“Shut up your mouth!”
Christopher disregarded Tilly, whose face had instantly turned pale. He turned to Charlotte with admiration spilling from his eyes.
“Was it really you who modified these designs?”
Charlotte nodded, “That’s right.”
“I’ve gone through some of the first drafts before this. They were very poor. However, you managed to tweak them into complete and mature designs. This is impressive work.”
Christopher’s tone was full of appreciation.
Tilly’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Impossible! She’s just a rookie!”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“There’s no distinction between newbies and veterans in design. She’s very talented.” He glanced at Tilly coldly. Christopher’s tone was particularly contemptuous as he began, “You’re dismissed. You can make your way to the finance department to settle your salary affairs.”
Charlotte looked at Christopher in bewilderment. She didn’t expect him to be so quick to decide.
“No! You can’t do this. I’m Mr. Collins’ girlfriend!” Tilly stopped him in a panic. She couldn’t afford to lose this job. There was no better job than this.
Braden had provided her with a high salary, and she was able to run her department as she pleased.
She was now so used to living her best life. How could she bear to lose this?
At that moment, Shane and Braden opened the door and stepped in from where they stood and observed. Tilly’s eyes suddenly glimmered with hope as she pleaded, “Braden…”
