Chapter 1205 The Internal Competition (1/2)

The company's internal competition was set for a week after the termination of Anna's contract.

To everyone's surprise, Anna reported as one of the judges. This was an unexpected turn of events, even for Emily.

”The judges are all well-known designers in the design field. Do you have any objection to her judging?”

Jacob said in a cold voice and with a face devoid of any expression, as if he hadn't seen Emily's astonishment.

Before the judging kicked off, Emily pulled Jacob into her office and asked, ”Why didn't you tell me beforehand that Anna would be one of the judges?”

Emily's face was somewhat worried, and her tone of voice was laced with dissatisfaction.

”I made a late call on this. Besides, Anna is highly qualified to be a judge for this competition.”

Jacob's voice didn't change. He looked at Emily, softening his gaze. He knew what Emily was worried about.

”Anna is a professional, and she can distinguish between public and private matters. As long as any designer you favor is excellent, she will not fail that person on purpose.”

Despite Jacob's assurances, Emily was still quite concerned.

The altercation with Estelle that day had caused such huge repercussions. Emily feared that Anna would use this as an opportunity to take her revenge on both Emily and Estelle.

After a moment's thought, an idea came to Emily, and she looked up at Jacob, proposing seriously, ”I suggest that all submissions be anonymous.”

Jacob agreed to her request without any hesitation.

Returning to the conference room, Jacob amended the rules of the competition.

Although the gathered designers and the judges present didn't say anything, they were all wise enough to understand the intentions behind the changes.

Anna casually sat in her chair, and she raised her eyebrows, playing with her fingers.

”Now that everything has been explained, let's go to the lounge for a rest. The participants can now use this time to begin their designs.”
