Chapter 34 - Boss is in love? (2/2)

”Then I'll work hard, boss.”

Double salary? The girl was super excited. She really needed it. Her grandfather was quite sickly lately and her normal salary was barely enough to cater for his needs. She had many debts already and their house would be at risk if she didn't start repaying them soon. Their boss was really kind!

….

Mondial Studios.

Office of the Vice President.

”Did you really nominate that Wan Jia?”

”Mmph! You think too lowly of me. Did you really think I'd nominate her?” Mo Zilian said as she caressed her extremely long nails.

”You're saying..?”

”While I did nominate her, she's only going to act as an assistant for the real winner.”

”Surely you don't mean you're going to steal her designs?” the man laughed.

”Steal is a strong word. The right word, still,” she swung around in her rotating chair and stopped to place her hands on the table. ”It's a shame she's too talented. Whatever, her designs won't really go to waste. They'll be presented on behalf of the company by my most capable designer. This award will definitely be all ours this time.”

”As for her, I'll totally humiliate her in front of hundreds of people. Huh, thought she could defeat me? I'll bring out all the foolishness buried deep inside her.”

”Go easy on her. Aren't you being too harsh?”

”Serves her right for stealing my Aotian.”

”Am I not your man now? Are you trying to make me jealous?”

”Not like you have the right. You're just a plaything. Aotian is the real deal. ”

”Honey, you're just too wicked.” The man was slightly hurt by her remark.

”Don't you want to have a taste of my wickedness?” she pulled him closer by the tie.

The Golden Rookie award was nearing. Every studio's design department was buzzing with activity. Hundreds of breathtaking dresses were being produced everywhere. If those were released into the market, there would be no lack of original ideas.

Wan Jia looked at the ten drafts in her file. Her theme was Rebirth, but she had not told anyone about her inspirations, choice of colors and any other detail yet. She hadn't even shown them to the higher ups and simply urged them to trust her. She smiled like a mother looking dotingly at her child. This was her hard work.

In situations like these, it wouldn't hurt to be more careful than usual. Who knew if anyone had plans against her? Her intuition had always been right and these past three weeks she always had a feeling that someone was studying her closely. Even after looking around for a while, she didn't notice anyone suspicious. Hence she decided to have her guard up at all times.

Her intuition was right. Mo Zilian and her lackeys… they were definitely planning something outrageous.

Wan Jia was the last person to leave the office today. She put the file into her locker and left the office, closing the door behind her.
