On a slightly caving platform, pearl-white desks were arranged together. Several well-dressed women were hammering away on their keyboards, taking up a pen for sketching from time to time.

Opposite them was an area leaden with crystal floorboards. In that spot, a woman as sitting lazily on a leather couch and having a taste of some red wine.

She looked up for a few glances when Lisa and Jisoo entered, but gave them the cold shoulder.

Jisoo cleared her throat and said, loudly, "This is Lisa, chief designer"

It was the first time Lisa had come to the design department despite being a parachuted chief designer.

It was the first time Lisa had come to the design department despite being a parachuted chief designer.

Everyone looked up, measuring Lisa up incessantly.

White blouse, a waist-hugging black skirt, black heels.

Simple and matching.

However, her clothing accentuated her perfect curves on her tall from. Her watery eyes were lively and dazzling with her umber-dyed brows, she looked like someone no one should cross.

The woman sitting on the main seat stood up then.

She was wearing a pearl-colored high-waist v-collared romper. Her hair, short, trimmed and silver made her look sharp and unfriendly along with her exquisite makeup.

"So, you're Lisa. Hello, I'm Minnie"

Lisa extended her hand. "Hello"

Minnie pretended that she did not see it and smile. "May I know what's your business here?"

Lisa did not feel awkward at all with Minnie's reaction, and withdrew her hand naturally.

"I'm looking for Minnie" Jisoo said.

Minnie shrieked at the top of her lungs. "Minnie, come here!"

The girl name Minnie stood up from her seat and approached them tamely.

As Jisoo described, her small face was delicate and pretty, and there was a mole between her eyes. She looked harmless and simply incapable of attacking.

It was indeed her.

Lisa stepped up and asked calmly, "Do you remember crashing into me outside the meeting room?"

Perhaps because she had worded her question like an interrogation, Minnie's heart thumped.

Was she here for revenge.

Minnie was at once tearful. "Miss Lisa, I did not do that on purpose....please, spare me...."

Lisa was speechless did she look so terrifying?

She quickly softened her tone as much as possible. "I'm here to ask about something else, actually. Did you leave out one of the drafts that dropped on the floor when you returned them to me?"

Minnie thought about it and nodded. "Yes, I wanted to return it to you after I saw it, but you had already left"

"But...."

She glanced at Minnie cautiously then, "I realize that draft is sis Minnie's, so I....I handed it to her...."

Jisoo promptly took a deep breath before breathing it out profoundly, the burden in her heart relieved.

However, Just as Lisa was about to talk to Minnie about it, the latter's pulled a long face immediately.

"Miss Lisa, so that's why you come. What a coincidence, I would have gone looking for you if you didn't" Minnie smiled coolly. "You had clearly told us that our design templates were fine and that we can start manufacturing, but why did you edit my designs when you returned the templates? You could have told us if you were unhappy about it!"

Lisa was a loss. "When did I edit your work?"

Those words certainly left Minnie disgusted with Lisa.

She had clearly changed the designs, but feigned innocence and would not even admit it.

She hated such people the most!

Well, time to present the evidence.

Minnie went to her desk and opened her drawer, and spread out the template right in front of Lisa.

"Are you saying this isn't your work?"

It must be said that once could tell from Minnie's designs that she's a veteran and an excellent designer.

It was a ripple-patterned skirt, exuding a mild classic beauty with smoot lines. It didn't not hug the waist, which was very suitable for women with a little tummy.

Still, Lisa had a strong impression of that draft too, and being a designer herself, she could see at once where it had been edited.

The skirt's collar had been raised, and a ring of white lace was added to its short sleeve.

It was effectively an excess.

Lisa looked up and said flatly, "I did not do that"

Minnie knew that she wouldn't admit to the fact, and so coldly smiled, mocking, "Of course you didn't. It's not like I could do anything against you even if you did since you have someone supporting you behind the scenes"

As soon as those words were spoken, the air was full of awkwardness and the smell of gunpowder.
