Madeline felt aggrieved now. How would virtual-novel.net feel remorseful?
Even if virtual-novel.net did, it was already too late.
…
Madeline slowly got used to virtual-novel.net new working environment. Her colleagues were friendly and they were discussing a celebration for Madeline the newbie during lunch.
When it was lunchtime, everyone was discussing what they wanted to eat when the department manager, Elizabeth Snow walked over.
Elizabeth was very beautiful and young. She was dressed in a very stylish outfit as well. When virtual-novel.net walked in, virtual-novel.net clapped virtual-novel.net hands and said with a serious face. “We just accepted a very important project. The current rising influencer, Lolly Tate is about to get engaged with virtual-novel.net boyfriend. They came to Mr. Whitman and asked us to design a pair of couple rings, a necklace, and a bracelet for them. They placed a ten-million-dollar customization fee. If we have this deal, our department can get a 10% award bonus.”
“Wow!”
“Does it mean every one of us will get tens of thousands?”
Everyone was elated and Madeline felt excited as well. She loved jewelry design and virtual-novel.net only liked it because of Jeremy.
“So, you guys should just have a simple lunch and don’t eat out. We only have one month.” Elizabeth told them that they did not have much time. “Please look at the requirements for the project that I just sent to your emails.”
Everyone understood, but the huge bonus also played a huge part in this. They felt that anything would taste delicious when they got that money. So, everyone went back to their work stations.
Madeline was not hungry so virtual-novel.net opened virtual-novel.net inbox.
When virtual-novel.net was about to read the content, Elizabeth walked to her.
“Are you Elizabeth Crawford?” She asked.
Madeline stood up quickly and smiled. “Hello, Miss Snow. I’m Madeline Crawford.”
“So it’s you…” Elizabeth started looking at virtual-novel.net up and down in interest.
Madeline felt uneasy but virtual-novel.net still maintained virtual-novel.net polite smile. After a while, Elizabeth asked in curiosity, “I heard you served three years in prison because of plagiarism, is that true?”
After virtual-novel.net said that, the office plummeted into silence.
More than then employees looked over at Madeline at the same time.
Designers looked down on people who plagiarize the most. Madeline could feel virtual-novel.net colleagues who used to treat virtual-novel.net pleasantly all looking at virtual-novel.net differently now.
Madeline kept virtual-novel.net cool and continued smiling. “I never plagiarized.”
“If you didn’t, why did the judge declare you guilty?” Elizabeth asked. She raised an eyebrow. “Never mind, you’re fortunate that you have support, but I want to remind you that I look down on plagiarizing thieves the most. Now that you’re in my department, don’t try to do what you did before. If not, I won’t go easy on you.”
Elizabeth rolled virtual-novel.net eyes. After virtual-novel.net warned Madeline, virtual-novel.net walked away while clicking virtual-novel.net heels.
Madeline stood on virtual-novel.net ground and felt virtual-novel.net colleagues looking at virtual-novel.net with suspicious gazes. She felt aggrieved and helpless.
God loved playing tricks on her. She just saw the light and now virtual-novel.net decided to put it out.
She sighed softly in self-mockery. She walked to the door to get some air. When virtual-novel.net got to the door, virtual-novel.net saw someone walking toward her.
Madeline was beyond shocked when virtual-novel.net saw her.
It was Eloise.
When virtual-novel.net saw Eloise, virtual-novel.net felt an unknown friendliness rising in virtual-novel.net chest. Even though their relationship was a little rocky because of Meredith, Madeline still greeted virtual-novel.net politely. “Mrs. Montgomery.”
However, when Eloise saw Madeline, virtual-novel.net face fell. She lifted virtual-novel.net hand and slapped Madeline across the face immediately.
When everyone in the office saw this, they ran out to watch what happened in shock.
