Female Novel
Chapter 105
“Look for yourself! I… Good for you. I have asked you before. You told me that the dress was youroriginal. You promised me that no one would clash with me. And now? People are selling it online!Anyone can buy it for about 1,300! And there are also all kinds of colors available! What do you takeme for? You don’t get to humiliate me regardless of how bad I’m doing! Wait and see. I will sue you! Iwill make you pay! I will make you penniless!” After saying that, Lorelei turned around and left with herpeople.
She threw me some photos of the dress with the related websites on them.
I was shocked. After hearing Lorelei’s words, I finally realized what was going on.
But it was absolutely impossible!
I quickly returned to my desk, turned on my laptop, and found the website. Sure enough…
“How could this be? That’s impossible… The dress is my original. How come it is being sold online?”
I found it so strange. I didn’t get it whatsoever. Therefore, I quickly went to find Melinda.
When Melinda saw me, she asked anxiously, “Catherine, why is your design being sold online?”
“I don’t know! What the hell is going on?” I felt like breaking down.
“Did someone steal your design drafts and put the dress online in advance?”
“What’s the purpose? And they’re selling it for only 1,300. To be honest, it’s way too cheap. Even thematerials I chose for the dress cost more than that.” It was getting fishier.
Melinda’s face became sullen, and she calmed down. “Maybe it’s not about money at all. Maybe theyjust wanted to kick you out of the company.”
Hearing her words, I was shocked. My body trembled violently.
I suddenly thought of Vanessa. “Melinda, maybe you’re right. There is someone. I think the personmight be Vanessa. She let me have Lorelei as my client in the beginning. You asked her to bring herdesign draft to Lorelei later, right? Instead of using her draft, Lorelei chose mine. I’m sure Vanessa wasembarrassed, and she has held a grudge ever since. And she’s doing this to get back at me.”
Melinda pulled me and stood behind the blinds to look out. I saw that Vanessa was talking to someonejoyfully. She seemed to be in a very good mood.
“Catherine, I think you’re right. Maybe it is Vanessa. She’s a competitive person, so she must bejealous of you. And she has been humiliated by Lorelei this time. She has the motive to frame you. Buteven though we are certain, we don’t have proof. It’s so tricky.” Melinda’s face was solemn.
“Well, then I’ll go look for proof. Melinda, someone framed me. Lorelei slapped me just now and cameto you to make a fuss. I’m afraid I will soon become a joke.” I sighed. The consequences of messingwith a villain were so overwhelming
“Others can mock as much as they want. I agree that you should find proof. But I’m afraid it’s going tobe hard. Why don’t you ask King Blake for help? I’m sure he can find the proof soon given hisinfluences.” Melinda felt that Blake could help me a lot. On the contrary, all my efforts might end in vainif I looked for the proof on my own.
As soon as I heard her words, I immediately shook my head. “No, Melinda. I can’t go to him. I’d betterdo this on my
own.”
When I walked back to my desk, I heard people talking.
“Really? How could she make such a stupid mistake?
Chapter 105
Catherine’s POV
As I walked over, I heard a lot of such discussions, and I was even more upset.
I never thought this kind of thing would happen to me.
Back in my seat, I clicked on the website to find the contact information of the seller. However, thedress wasn’t available anymore
I was about to snap. I thought whoever was behind this was making a fool of me After I found out aboutthis, they wanted to erase everything!
I just gained a bit of popularity in the fashion industry. However, it was all gone in the blink of an eyebecause of this Lorelei incident.
All the contact information was gone. Therefore, I decided to go to the surveillance room, hoping that Icould find something there If someone stole my draft, they must have done it in this office. I had to goand find out who it was.
When I came to the surveillance room, I found that the surveillance cameras weren’t functioning thesedays. Only one of them was still working, but it was not aimed at my desk
I was desperate I realized that the person who wanted to set me up had made full preparations.
What should I do? Did I really have to ask for Blake’s help?
While I was in a pickle, I suddenly received a call
It was Jessica
“Hi, Miss Hall What can I do for you?” I asked.
Jessica asked bluntly, “Catherine, did someone frame you? You’re framed hard, aren’t you?”
I was stunned. “You know about it as well? I guess I’m fucked up this time.”
“What happened? Is that dress really your original design? Or did you copy someone else’s work?”Jessica was curious.
“Of course, it’s my original design. I will never steal from others. I have no idea who steals my design.I’m still working on it.” I said helplessly.
“Catherine, my boss wants to talk to you!” Just as Jessica finished speaking, a man’s voice came fromthe phone.
“Catherine, do you need help?” Leo asked.
I was stunned. Then I said, “Can you help me?”
“Sure. I think you are in big trouble. You must have been framed.” It sounded like Leo believed firmlythat I was framed. I felt grateful for his trust.
“Let’s meet and talk”
Leo wanted to see me now.
I also wanted to get out of the office now. I didn’t want to be crucified by those people’s eyes, and Ididn’t want to hear their whispers,
Anyway, I had a clear conscience. It was indeed my original design.
I took my purse and left the office after I informed Melinda,
I went downstairs and drove away. Shortly after, Leo called me.
“Why don’t you come down to my office building, and I’ll buy you a cup of coffee?”
Though Leo was also a member of the Chavez Group, he didn’t work there. He had his ownentertainment company
“OK. I’ll be there in a minute. Have you come downstairs yet?” I asked gently.
“No rush. Drive slowly!” Leo said with concern.
As I listened to him, I felt less upset.
When I reached the place, I parked the car and walked quickly toward the lobby.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the lobby, Leo walked out. Under the sunlight, he was tall andhandsome, and his casual clothes made him look like a neighbor, instead of a boss.novelbin
“Wait. What happened to your face?” When I walked over, Leo suddenly pointed to my face and asked.
Actually, it wasn’t that painful anymore. But I thought Lorelei must have used all her strength to slapme. After all, I couldn’t feel half my face.
“I’m fine…” I saw him take a step forward. He lowered his head and looked at my face carefully.
Feeling a little embarrassed, I immediately dodged to the side and covered my face. “I’m fine, really.Stop looking!”
“Did someone slap you?” Leo was angry. “Who did this to you?”
I felt even more uncomfortable and had to say, “Even if someone slapped me, I deserved it. It was myfault.”
“No one is allowed to hit anyone no matter what. Tell me! Who was it?” Leo’s face was utterly sullen.
I smiled and said, “Thanks for your concern. I’m fine already. Let’s go. I really need your help withsomething!”
After I finished speaking, I walked directly to the Café next door.
When we arrived at the Café, Leo sat lazily on a chair and stared at me with his beautiful eyes. “Tellme, what do you want me to help you with?”
I sighed and then took out the photos Lorelei gave me. “I need your connections to find the seller. Iwant to know who put the dress online to sell.”
Leo took the photos over and glanced at them. “No problem. I can get someone to find it out for yousoon.”
“As long as I find the seller, I can find the person who framed me. If I find out who it is, I’ll hunt herdown.” I held the glass of iced americano and took a sip. I was still very depressed.
“Of course. I’ll do the same if someone framed me.” Leo was very supportive.
I looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly, but I was gloomy.
“By the way, do the two kids miss me?” Leo suddenly asked with a smile.
“You are nice to them, so, of course, they miss you. Especially Noah. He often asks me when you willcome over and race him.” I thought of how badly Leo lost last time, and I still could not help but grin.
Leo covered half of his face and said, “Alright, alright, just drop it. I’ve been embarrassed enough.”
Ok. I won’t bring it up again. Leo, I was surprised that you offered to help me this time. I take backeverything I said
