Contract Marriage? True Love

Chapter 19: The Design Was Stolen.

"How could this be..."

Emma stared at the empty cabinet, her back in cold sweat.

Her design case had actually disappeared! Her brain seemed to be struck by electricity, and she felt that she was going to faint.

The design, which she had been working hard on for two days and was going to complete, was gone? Yesterday, she was in a hurry when she left, so she forgot to lock the locker.

She hadn't expected such a small detail to determine her failure.

It was obvious that someone had stolen her design.

Who could be so crazy? Emma almost cried, holding her head.

"What's wrong?"

Ms.Geller saw that she was so disappointed early in the morning.

"Ms.Geller!"

Emma almost cried out, "I'm sorry...I failed to live up to your trust..."

"What the hell is going on?"

"The design case that I'm about to complete is lost..."

"What?"

Ms.Geller also panicked.

It was a big deal that the design plan had been stolen.

If President Carl looked into it, she might have to take full responsibility! "Calm down, Emma, when did you last see the design plan?"

Emma pointed at the cabinet that had been opened with a sad face, "It's in the cabinet under my desk.

It's my fault.I left in a hurry after work yesterday, so I forgot to lock it..."

Emma pounded her chest and thought, "It's going to be a big fault."

Ms.Geller turned around and immediately called all the people in the design department with a serious expression.

Everyone stood together properly and looked at Ms.Geller's face.

It seemed that something bad had happened.

"Which one of you took the design case of Emma?"

Ms.Geller asked sternly, "If you admit it now, you may still have a slightest possibility to stay in the company.Once you get caught, in addition to expel you from the company, I will have to file a lawsuit by Carl Enterprise.With the strength of President Carl, it is possible for him to detain you."

After all, the design for Cherish was important.

If the president knew, it would cause a big trouble.

The staff all shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

Ms.Geller's eyes inadvertently fell on Aina.

Aina saw Ms.Geller's questioning face and felt unhappy.

She immediately turned hostile and said, "Why are you looking at me?"

Ms.Geller said in a sarcastic tone, "I just want to look at you.What's wrong? Are you guilty?"

"Guilty? Ridiculous.I don't think that the stuff designed by Emma is worthy of being stolen.If someone really stole it, he just wanted to use it as a toilet tissue."

"Hahaha..."

The staff burst into laughter.

Emma hadn't expected Aina's words to be so harsh, so she was so angry that she stood there with a red face.

"If you don't take it, you can just say that.Why do you speak in such a harsh way?"

"Tsk."

Aina placed both hands on her waist, "It's been almost an entire morning.In my opinion, don't bother to find it.Maybe it is not lost at all.She is just finding an excuse for not completing the missions within the required time."

"I'm not! I've achieved more than half of it!"

"Oh, really?"

Aina took a few steps forward, approached Emma, and sniffed carefully.

Suddenly, she pinched her nose and said in disgust, "Oh, what's the smell on your body? It smells like wine.

Did you lose the design case yesterday when you went out to play?"

"What are you talking about? If I went out to play, how could I bring such important things?"

"Who knows? President Carl arranged for you to have such a difficult task.Not only did you not finish it seriously, but also you even had the interest to go out and play."

Aina's words caused everyone's questioning eyes to be fixed on Emma.

Why were they all looking at her? She was innocent! Did they suspect that she was acting?

"Please! Believe me.I have promised that I will leave the company if I can't complete the task on time...

"Who cares about your words? If you don't admit it in the future, we can't do anything to you.’ Aina was determined to go against her.

Damn it...She had originally wanted to win the trust of everyone including President Carl.

How did it turn out to be like this? Everyone didn't believe in her, a newcomer.

But what could she do? Ms.Geller did not speak.

She seemed to have ignored that the process of losing the design case Emma said was too simple, which could not explain anything.

She had no evidence to prove that Emma plotted the drama, so she could not do anything else but to shake her head silently.

"Edema, let's forget about this design case.Considering that you have been working very hard and seriously these days, I will not investigate further.After all, it was you who volunteered to do the design case.Now that it has not been completed, you should confess your guilt to President Carl personally.’ Emma aggrievedness could not be expressed.

She looked at Ms.Geller helplessly and thought, "Why does Ms.Geller not believe me now? Was it just because she was a rookie that they looked down on her? Isn't there anyone who wanted to help me?"

The pointer on the clock stopped at three o'clock.It was already afternoon, but Emma had spent it absent-mindedly.

"Don't be sad."

Ms.Geller patted on Emma's shoulder, "You just enter the company.No one will blame you."

Emma raised her eyes and looked helplessly at Ms.Geller.

She felt so aggrieved.

If she had known, she would not have gone to find Oliver last night.

Maybe so many things wouldn't happen if she was more careful.

"I'm sorry..."

Emma lowered her eyes and sighed.

She had done the design very seriously.

Ms.Geller pressed Emma's shoulder and said with a smile, "Would you please help me go downstairs to buy a bottle of juice?"

"Take a walk, don't think too much."

The so-called shopping was just an excuse.

Ms.Geller just didn't want to see her sitting in the office with her head down.

It was better to give her a little time to relax.

Anyway, at this time, Aina was asked by the president to do something outside the company, so there should be no one to inspect her.

Emma clenched her hands into fists and nodded slightly, "Okay..."

She took small quick steps and walked out of the office.

On the side door of the Carl building, Aina looked at the design in her hand and smiled proudly.

As long as she changed a little, this design would become her own...

"How could there be such a good thing?"

Aina raised her eyebrows and smiled happily.Thanks to Emma, she found another opportunity to get promoted easily.

"Hand the design plan over to me!"

A clear woman's voice sounded behind Aina. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Aina trembled, and she stuffed the design into a paper bag hurriedly.

Turning around, she looked straight into Lily's eyes.

Under her pair of glasses, there was a very serious and stubborn face.

Aina was very surprised.

It turned out to be Lily, the d*mn girl.

She only knew how to be low-key and bury herself in work.

Why did she suddenly want to cause troubles today? Aina despised such a role the most who didn't pose any threat to her at all.

"What did you say? I didn't hear as the wind was blowing too strong,’ Aina said as if nothing had happened.

It was obvious from her tone that she was threatening Lily not to meddle in other people's business.

Lily gritted her teeth and braced herself to say, "Please give me the design case!"

"Design plan? What design plan? You mistook it.If you don't want to get into trouble, get out of here."

Aina didn't want to deal with such a small role at all.She turned around and was about to leave.

"You stole Emma's design plan! I saw it!"

On that day, Lily was busy with the design that had been returned.

She worked for a long time and didn't pack up her things when it was about to get off work.

Just when she almost finished her work, she saw Emma going out and wanted to say hello.

Unexpectedly, she saw that Aina sneaked into Emma's office just after she left, When she came out from the office, she had a design plan in her hand.

Without a doubt, she was the one who had stolen Emma's design plan.

"You want me to make it clear to you?"

Aina turned around and glared hatefully at her, her face extremely pale, "If you pretend that you don't know, we're all happy.Otherwise, I'll make you suffer in the company in the future! You've been working

in the company for a period of time, so you won't be so stupid, right?"

"No, no! That's the painstaking work of Emma!"

Lily knew how many efforts Emma had put into the design plan.

"What benefits did Emma give you? Is it worth it for you to take the risk of losing your job in the company to negotiate with me?"

Lily did so not for benefits.

Lily herself worked very hard, so she could understand the feeling of those who only focused on making efforts.

"If you don't go back, I'll deduct your salary because you leave your post during the working time." Aina snorted.

As Lily saw that Aina was about to turn around and leave, she rushed over without thinking.

"You can't take it away! It's another girl's work!"

Lily thought Emma had been sad about this case for a long time.

"You b*tch! Mind your own business! I'll give you as many benefits as you want! Don't ruin my plan!"

The paper bag in her hand was caught by Lily.

Aina tried hard to pull her hand away, but she couldn't.

Was this girl so strong? Aina pulled hard, and Lily couldn't stand firm and fell to the ground.

"You're retarded!"

Aina sneered, "The company is in a state of despair because of scums like you!"

She had always worked hard, but now she was said to be a scum...

She clenched her teeth and grabbed the hem of Aina’s skirt.

"You're not allowed to leave! Return the design case!"

Emma bought a bottle of cola from a selling machine on the first floor of the company's hall and drank it.

From the time she was dismissed by Wood Enterprises to the present when the design plan had been lost and her colleagues were all suspicious of her, she felt as if she had had a long dream.

If she continued to enjoy the Cola and stimulated herself, she might wake up from the dream.

"Let go! Let go! You b*tch!"

The sharp voice of a woman came to Emma's ears.

She subconsciously looked at the side door in the hall where few would go.

Emma thought, "Umm...what the hell is this? Are they quarreling? Forget it, they could quarrel.I'm in low spirits right now and was not in the mood to watch the show."

"That's the work of Emma!"

Another girl's voice came to her ears.Emma's turned alert at once.

Her...work? The image of all the Cherish design flashed across her mind.

She threw away the Cola in her hand and rushed out of the side door.

Lily and Aina both were fighting.

"You...two..."

Emma didn’t know what was going on.

Lily turned back and said, "Emma? It's you! Come here! Your design plan is here!"

"Damn it! Stinky girl!"

Aina hadn't sensed that something bad was about to happen until she saw Emma.
