“Here’s the thing, Mrs.Fuller.None of us have seen the design Mr.Wesley made for you. The only people who have seen it are Mr.Wesley himself and Natalie, his assistant.If you ask me, Natalie most likely leaked the design.”
Mrs.Fuller took the cup of tea and took another drag from her cigarette pensively.
Soon, she put out the cigarette in the tea and looked up at Natalie.
“You are Natalie? I remember you.”
She stood up from her chair and walked up to Natalie, her high heels clicking against the floor.
“Did you leak the design drawing? You’d better admit it now.I don’t have all day to waste on you.”
Natalie frowned tightly, wondering what Delores said that made Mrs.Fuller suspect her all of a sudden.
Just as Mrs.Fuller was about to grab Natalie by the collar, Natalie’s bodyguard leaped into action.
“Please step away from Mrs.Larson.”
Embarrassed, Natalie whispered to her bodyguard, “Don’t worry, can handle this.Go back to your seat.” Mrs.Fuller’s nostrils flared angrily.She looked the female bodyguard up and down and sneered in disdain.
“Do you think you’re better than me? I’m your client! Who are you putting on airs for, Natalie? A designer with a bodyguard? How ridiculous!”
At this point, Mrs.Fuller had lost her patience.She picked up her Prada bag and said, “Let’s just sue them.Let them deal with their internal affairs by themselves.I refuse to cooperate with a studio that doesn’t respect their clients!” Mrs.Fuller snorted and turned around to leave.
“I didn’t mean to offend you, Mrs.Fuller.Kindly wait for Mr.Wesley here,” Natalie said, trying to stop her.
As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the studio was suddenly pushed open from the outside.lt was Draco.
Draco was holding a brown file folder in his hand.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Raising the document in his hands, he strode into the studio.He stopped in front of Mrs.Fuller and said calmly, “I had to get this before coming here, so it took me some time.Upon investigating the matter, I’ve found that an individual designer got their hands on the design draft and sold it to several clients.Aileen is just one of them. W Marks Studio is also a victim, Mrs.Fuller.But don’t worry.I’m about to get to the bottom of this.”
Hearing this, everyone in the studio was shocked.
Natalie didn’t expect that Draco would investigate this matter and make progress so soon. Mrs.Fuller snatched the document from his hand and began to skim through it.
The content of the file indeed confirmed what Draco had said.
“Then what next? I can’t wear that damned dress anymore!”
Mrs.Fuller slapped the document onto the table, speechless with anger.
“Mrs.Fuller, please rest assured that I will provide you with a proper solution,” Draco said calmly.
“Fortunately, you came to us first instead of making a public statement, or else whoever’s behind this would’ve gotten what they wanted.Not only would this have marred W Marks’s reputation, but it would also have damaged our cooperation.” Mrs.Fuller fell silent and thought it over.She found that he made sense.
Albeit reluctant, she said, “I’ll give you one day to deal with this matter.l wanna see the results by tomorrow.”.
“Of course, Mrs. Fuller. You can trust us,” Draco promised.
Mrs.Fuller snorted and left with her lawyer.
As soon as the door was closed behind them, Dalores flew over to Draco to butter him up.
“Mr.Wesley, you’re a genius! How’d you find the evidence so soon?”
Draco was in no mood to listen to her flattery..
“Cut it out,” he said coldly.
Then, his gaze swept across the employees in the office.
“Everyone, think about whether you might’ve leaked the draft.I’m willing to give whoever it was a chance. If anyone of you thinks you might’ve accidentally leaked the draft, please come to me yourself before leaving work.If not, I’ll take the necessary measures to find out who it was and send him or her to Mrs.Fuller.”
He didn’t want to believe that it was one of his own designers who stole the design draft, because it would be too cruel.Besides, such a thing had never happened before.
Since this matter was temporarily settled, everyone returned to their cubicles to continue working.Although everyone discussed in hushed whispers, no one walked into Draco’s office.
Natalie returned to her cubicle in a trance, thinking about what Draco had just said.
“Who would be stupid enough to do such a thing?”
Natalie overheard her colleagues’ discussion.She listened in silence.
“Just check your laptop.I heard that hackers can even steal files now.”
“It’s not me.I just checked, and my computer’s fine.I wonder who it was.If we can’t find the person who did it, Mrs.Fuller would sue the whole studio!”
“Well, we can’t do anything about it right now.Let’s just get back to work.”
Hearing the statement about the hackers, Natalie’s heart stopped.
The pen she was holding slipped out of her fingers and fell to the ground.She bent over and picked up the pen, feeling incredibly anxious.
Brandon had told her that her laptop had been acting up because somebody planted a virus and then probably hacked it.
