Chapter 2166
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Maisie's call got through very quickly.She very decisively went straight to the point, saying, "Ava, I'm at Glendale Restaurant right now.I saw an interesting design here.Your design that was rejected by Mr.Branson which you deleted is now with Laura.She even claims that it's hers but it's clearly yours.Ava, are you free to come over now?"
As they listened to Maisieâs words, Laura and Bill looked at each other.
They were obviously feeling a little nervous.
However, they had all heard just now that Ava had deleted the previous design.
Hence, they did not need to be too nervous.
When they were about to take deep breaths to relax, they suddenly heard Maisie's happy response.
"Ava, you and your friends are having dinner at Glendale Restaurant too? Iâll go get you from your private room.What's the room number..."
Maisie said as she walked toward the door.
Bill glanced at Laura in a panic before walking to Mr.Lowe's side.
"Mr.Lowe, Maisie has just graduated.She hasnât been in our company for too long.Sheâs eccentric, even a little neurotic.Plus, sheâs often bad-mannered.I only kept her around for Avaâs sake.Otherwise, she would have been fired long ago."
Mr.Lowe frowned in displeasure as he listened to Bill's complaints.
"So? What are you trying to tell m e?"
"I want to tell you that Maisie is just talking nonsense.Laura would never plagiarize!"
"Really?"
Mr.Lowe retorted, the corners of his lips rising slightly.
"But I also believe that Maisie will never lie."
Bill looked embarrassed, and he was incoherent for a while.
"Um...Mr.Lowe, do you mean..."
"I mean..."
"Ava is here!"
Maisieâs clear voice came from the door of the private room, interrupting Mr.Lowe mid- sentence.
Bill looked at Mr.Loweâs expression.He noticed that h e did not look angry or dissatisfied.
Bill was curious.
Mr.Lowe was the president.
Previously, he would never have shown up at this sort of party even when they completed a huge project.
However, he was here now and even patiently listened to an internâs babbles.
Had Mr.Lowe taken a fancy to this fresh graduate? Bill wondered as he looked at Maisie.She was young, pretty, and energetic.
However, she was not Billâs type.
The type of women Bill liked was the sexy and sweet-mouthed ones like Laura.
After Ava came in, she was surprised when she saw Mr.Lowe. She had only met him once or twice during their annual dinners, hence she did not expect him to be here.
It seemed that Lauraâs project was pretty big.
Ava greeted Mr.Lowe politely.
Right after she said that, Maisie went straight to the topic.
"Ava, look at this design.Isnât this the one you deleted?"
Ava looked at the design on the tablet and saw Lauraâs signature at the bottom.She was not startled at all.
Instead, she nodded calmly and said, "Thatâs right.This is the design that I deleted after Mr.Branson rejected it.I didnât expect someone to treat my trash a s treasure."
