Matt Leopold immediately nodded. “Erm… What about our lunch?”
Xyla nodded in response. “Yeah, sure. Let’s grab a bite after this. It’s on me.”
A ripple of excitement spread across Matt and the rest when they heard virtual-novel.net answer. After all, Lily was a legendary existence in the architectural field. She was gifted, yet mysterious and secretive.
She had countless admirers, but no one had ever seen her. She had never accepted any interviews, either.
Despite the admirers’ daunting eagerness, seeing Lily in real life was nothing but a mere fantasy. However, a prodigious opportunity had now come to the few of them. They couldn’t contain their exhilaration at this point.
“Xyla, since you’re so capable, I think I should hand over the company’s design department to you from now on. In addition to the sales department, I hope that you can do your best in leading the design team, too,” Jeremy said while patting Xyla’s shoulder, his eyes brimming with acknowledgment.
Upon hearing that, raw anger shot through Emily.
The design department was given to Xyla?
Did Xyla just snatch away the department that virtual-novel.net had been longing for all through virtual-novel.net life?
Wasn’t this too much?
“I will, Dad,” Xyla promised virtual-novel.net father right away.
Emily glared at Xyla in exasperation before lowering virtual-novel.net head and heading to the staircase, intending to leave the stage.
Noticing virtual-novel.net sister was running away, Xyla immediately called out to her, “Wait a minute, Emily…”
Emily stopped in virtual-novel.net tracks and turned to look at virtual-novel.net with irritation. “What do you want?”
“May I know where you get your blueprint from?” Xyla asked.
At the mention of that stolen blueprint, Emily’s heart threatened to escape from virtual-novel.net throat.
She started to glance around the hall, absent-mindedly. “What are you trying to say? I drew it, of course! Do you have a problem with that?”
“Oh, really? Why do I feel like I’ve drawn the same thing as yours before?” Though Xyla retained a soft and steady tone, virtual-novel.net powerful aura was palpable.
She looked like a benign little girl, but virtual-novel.net could always impress the crowd with virtual-novel.net tact.
Instantly, the hall was in an uproar. The crowd began to whisper among themselves.
Xyla’s accusation was a real slap in the face. Emily could feel virtual-novel.net cheeks burning with embarrassment.
“You… What do you mean? Did you draw my blueprint? Do you have any proof? I’m the one who drew it!” Emily was disgruntled with Xyla.
What the hell was going on?
Was that Xyla’s design?
She could not be so unlucky, could she?
“If I’m not mistaken, you can find Lily’s signature on your blueprint…” Xyla added.
Emily sneered. “Signature? What are you talking about? How can I have your signature on my blueprint? Sis… Don’t try to accuse me without any proof!”
‘Signature?’
She had studied the blueprint around eight hundred times.
Where was the signature?
Instead of answering her, Xyla walked to the projector steadily and picked up Emily’s folder, casually taking out the blueprint from it.
Subsequently, virtual-novel.net waved at the security guard next to virtual-novel.net and ordered, “Please get me a glass of water…”
The security guard quickly poured a glass of water from the nearby water dispenser and handed it to Xyla obediently.
Slowly putting the glass on the table, Xyla dipped virtual-novel.net finger into it and wetted the corner of the blueprint.
Very soon, a black signature appeared in the wetted area, “Lily”.
