Chapter 58
Leopold seemed to sense it, whipping his head around, their gazes colliding and sparking in the air!
His eyes hardened, suddenly turning frosty, “Don’t look at me. I’m worried about the babies, not you.”
His tone was incredibly cold, utterly heartless.
Aurelia was no fool, she knew this well, “I know, you don’t need to explain.”
How could a big shot like him worry about a simple vessel? He wasn’t out of his mind!
Kevin sighed in his heart.
Mr. Leopold was indeed lacking a few screws when it came to chasing women!
On the day the “Secret” collection was launched, they received fifty million orders.
Such a novel idea, it was the first time in history everyone had seen it, and they couldn’t wait to unlock
the jewelry codes.
Over at Astral Enterprises, the mole who leaked the information was found, and it was indeed Kelly.
In fact, she had been planning to jump ship since the moment Leopold demoted her.
This design blueprint was her ticket to Ethereal Gems.
The hilarious part was, she claimed it was her original design, and Ethereal Gems had no clue about
the plagiarism.
Once the news broke, Ethereal Gems became the scapegoat, the share prices plummeted.
And Kelly was blacklisted in the industry, facing not only a hefty compensation but also prison.
Aurelia watched the news, sighing. One can be forgiven for wrongdoings imposed by fate, but not for
the sins of one’s own making.
Jenny and Darcy approached her.
“Aurelia, the ‘Whisper‘ collection has also been vindicated, this time you’ve gained both fame and
fortune.” said Jenny.
Darcy nodded, “I think you’re the perfect fit for the director’s position.”
Aurelia gave a small laugh, “It’s not just my achievement, it’s everyone’s. You two have been assistant
designers in the company for three years, it’s high time you were promoted. When I meet the boss
later, Il bring it up. I hope to see your designs in next season’s new products.”
She wouldn’t treat her subordinates as cannon fodder and stepping stones like Kelly did. They should
share in the blessings and face the difficulties together.
“Thank you, Aurelia.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Jenny and Darcy were ecstatic. They had sided with the right person.
In the corporate world, choosing the right side was crucial.
In the President’s office.
Leopold was reviewing the sales plan of the branches.
Aurelia walked in, whispering, “Mr. Leopold, even though the
won’t be revealed.”
Leopold looked up, his brows slightly raised, “And what’s the essence?”
“Of course, it’s the real ‘Mystery‘. My design blueprint is actually incomplete, I didn’t draw the hidden
codes. I’ll add them when the new product officially launches. So, we can still launch the original
‘Mystery‘ collection with its soul intact.”
She finished, cracking a mischievous smile, “This is my Plan C. Aren’t I clever? I not only protected the
new design but also helped you defeat the competitor. Shouldn’t you give me a bonus to reward me?”
Her long, curly eyelashes fluttered, like the wings of a butterfly.
Leopold couldn’t help but smile, “I always reward those who deserve it. You’ve contributed to the
company, you’ll naturally get a bonus.”
Aurelia blinked, approaching him, lowering her voice, “And… the director’s position?”
His gaze, sharp and deep, met hers.
Such ambition, she didn’t hide it at all in front of him!
“Are you overstepping?”
“No,” she shook her head like a bobblehead doll, “I’m striking while the iron is hot, putting myself
forward.”
Even though she lacked experience, she had the skills. If she didn’t seize this opportunity to
recommend herself, once the new director was chosen, it would be too late.
Leopold stroked his chin, a teasing smile on his thin lips, “I can give you a chance to compete. Whether
you can seize it, is up to you.”
Aurelia’s eyes darted around.
Compete with who?
It wouldn’t be some dark horse coming out of nowhere, would it?
