Chapter 166
Bogus Billionaire
Right then, someone spoke up. âI think Vivian has worked with Mr. French before?â
Vivian smiled happily. âYes. Three years ago, when I was still a designer overseas, I was lucky enough to design the packaging for Mr. Frenchâs antiâaging face mask.â
âI remember now/I heard Mr. French couldnât stop praising your design. He even wanted to sign a longâ
term contract with you. How come that fell through?â
âI had some family issues then, so I had to come back to the country.â
Everyone present seemed to find it a shame.
Then, someone suggested, âSince Vivian has worked with Mr. French before, she should handle this task. Mr. French will surely be happy with the design she produces.â
The others nodded in agreement.
Julesâ gaze fell on Caroline. âWhat do you think, Ms. Evans?â
At that moment, the others finally remembered that Caroline was the Design Director.
But it wasnât their fault for forgetting Caroline. After all, Vivian had skills and experience.
There had to be something wrong with the higherâups. Why else would they appoint someone without experience as the Design Director?
âSince this is an important matter, I donât think it should be given to just one person. I think we can get a few other designers to join this project.â
Caroline knew that this was an opportunity for her too.
âForget it then.â Vivian folded her arms and tilted her chin up. Condescendingly, she said, âDesign is a private matter. I prefer doing it alone. If others have to join, I might as well step down.â
Everyone could tell that Vivian was directing her words against Caroline.
âMs. Evans, Vivian has worked with Mr. French before. Besides, he likes her work. Sheâs more experienced than us all. I think we should hand the project over to her. What do you think, Mr.
Hawkins?â
The man who spoke was the director of the finance department.
Jules rubbed his forehead. He had figured that this would happen before heâd even come here.
âHow about this: why donât Ms. Evans and Ms. Patterson both come up with a design? Weâll see which one Mr. French likes when the time comes. What do you think?â
Vivon Was the higt to agree that works! I think this is a great idea. It will also show the higher-
ps who has real skills and whoâs a fakel The others hurtedly agreed.
Caroline didnât mind it either âAlright then, letâs decide on that Mr French will be leaving Easton in three days. That means you only have three days to design something he likes Are you confident?â
âOf course!â Vivian was sure she could do it.
Caroline nodded slowly as well.
âAlright, meeting adjourned!â
It was only after everyone else left that Vivian got up to walk out.
Susan was already waiting outside. When she saw Vivian come out, she came over with a cup of coffee. She smiled and said, âViv, I heard about what happened. Youâll win for sure.â
Vivian beamed. âOf course I will.â
Susan replied, âThen does that mean we donât have to do anything anymore?â
Just as Vivian was about to nod, she recalled Carolineâs designs. She frowned. âGo and change the companyâs internal research records on Corvin French.â
Susan understood immediately. âShould I change it all?â
âNo need. Just change what Corvin likes in package design. Change it from what he likes to what he hates.â
âI got it. Iâll do it right now.â Then, Susan happily went off.
Vivian watched her leave. She leaned against the wall and took a sip of coffee. As she did, she slowly let out her annoyance.
Now, she would only have to wait and see how Caroline embarrassed herself.
