Chapter 319 What Are You Doing, Mr. Crawford?
The design meeting started.
Luke was seated in the leading position. He wore a black business suit and sat straight and tall, aformidable presence in the crowd.
His gaze was profound, and his lips were tightly pressed together, which gave him a dependable andauthoritative air. He made a brief speech, after which he listened attentively to the reports by theleaders of various departments.
The main topic of the meeting was ’increasing design productivity.’
The designers discussed the latest trends in design and exchanged their experiences. Everyone mightbe from a different department, but there were still some things that they could learn from each other.
They shared design resources and had a lively discussion about the Finishing Touch Workshop and theDivine Inspiration Showcase, two world- renowned design studios.
The two studios had only started a few years ago, but they had gathered a wealth of design talent andstarted several worldwide trends.
T Corporation was a multinational company and hired the world's best designers who walked at theforefront of design. Not only were they sensitive to new trends, but they were also willing to learn.
The discussion lasted for more than an hour.
Next was the monthly work summary by each department.
In this segment, each department lead would report on what they had done in the past month. Theywould commend certain designers that had done well, as well as give constructive criticism to anyonewho needed to improve.
Every designer who was praised this way smiled delightedly. After all, being praised in front of the CEOmeant that there would be a pay raise, as well as a higher chance for promotion.
Those who were criticized were dejected and fearful for their position in the company. T Corporationpaid their employees the highest in the industry, and they would not want to lose their jobs.
When it was the architectural design department lead's turn, she shot a glance at Bianca, then startedher report. "In the past month, the architectural design department has two commendable employees.They are Tom Lewis and Sue Carter. Tom has completed the most projects in the entire departmentand has brought sizable profits to the company.
Meanwhile, Sue's work has been widely praised by our clients. On the other hand, I have to saysomething about the lazier employees in the department..."
The department lead's penetrating glance shot toward Bianca.
Bianca had a bad feeling when she saw the department lead's sinister and calculating gaze.
Indeed, the department lead's ensuing speech made Bianca feel embarrassed. "Ms. Bianca Rayne, asa design assistant, you should have worked harder so that you can formally be a designer, instead ofslacking off like what you're doing now. You've been in the company for a few months. Not only youdon't have many completed designs, but you are also frequently absent from work. Don't you know thatyou should have been more diligent? You should know that our company might have abundantfinancial resources, but we're not a charity foundation, and we have no place for idle people in ourranks..."
The department lead's speech generated an uproar.
All the designers looked at where the department was looking, and their gazes fell on Bianca.
They started to whisper among each other, ignoring Luke's gloomy gaze.
The company rules were clear. Only formal designers could attend the design meetings in Room A606.Why would the woman be there if she was only a design assistant?
It could not have been an accident. She would not have found the place if no one had informed herabout the meeting.
Did it mean that the boss was playing favorites with that woman?
The boss was never seen to be with a woman, and he never had any scandals except for that articlefrom JK Media. Was the unremarkable design assistant the woman in the article?
All sorts of wild theories and dubious gazes turned toward Bianca...
They could see that Bianca was young and beautiful. She had snow-white skin and a pair of clear andanimated eyes. However, she seemed to be embarrassed by the department lead's public criticism.
Bianca was restless on her chair. She tried to hide away from those accusatory gazes.
The department lead felt pleased with herself.
'That Bianca is sleeping with the boss, right? I'd like to see if Mr. Crawford would harbor her in public.'
She dared to criticize Bianca publicly because she was telling the truth. She also knew that Luke hadbeen impartial, and was confident that he would not speak up for her because their relationship wasillicit.
Luke twiddled the fountain pen in his hand. His eyes flashed with a shocking coldness that could chillone to the bone.
The department lead saw that and quickly averted his gaze.
'How shocking!
'I have criticized Bianca in public. Would he do anything to me?'
The department lead suddenly felt unconfident about what she had done. However, she believed thatLuke would not openly harbor Bianca under everyone's eye. She would like to see how Bianca wouldextricate herself from this mess!
Of course, she had underestimated how protective Luke could be.
The man's gaze was unbelievably profound, as though it stretched toward the farthest reaches of theuniverse.novelbin
He shot a glance at Bianca, who was tucking her head in.
That woman was indeed talented, but she did not have the maturity to survive in the workplace.
