Chapter 314


    At Trident Group the next day, Avery handed a newly printed design drawing to Yulissa. “Ms. Yantz, this


    is the design that you requested. I''ve sent the digital copy of the design to your email.”


    Yulissa took it suspiciously. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the stunning sample design.


    With disbelief, she asked, “Did you draw this, Avery?”

    Avery nodded in response, a calm expression on her beautiful face.


    Yulissa perused the design several times.


    The design in her hand was perfect and did not have any ws. Admittedly, she knew that she would


    not be able to design a masterpiece like it. She had always been a confident person. Nevertheless, at


    that moment, she was unable to get inside the mind of the newly-hired Avery.


    Did Avery really design this?


    “Avery, you should know that there will be severe consequences if we find out that someone else


    designed it for you,” Yulissa warned sternly.


    Avery remained calm and collected. “I stayed uptest night to draw this, Ms. Yantz, so I still


    remember every single detail of it. Do you want me to describe them to you?”


    When Cecelia heard them arguing, she could not help but pick up the design drawing for a look.


    Her jaw dropped after she looked at it. Moreover, she was so stunned that she was momentarily at a


    loss for words.


    After shing Avery a thumbs up, she said, “Well done, Avery! Your design is very brilliant. It has both


    the traditional and advanced elements in it. To be honest, I couldn''t tell you had such talent just from


    looking at you. As it turns out, your designs are amazing!”


    “Please don''t say that, Cecelia. You''re my senior. I still have a lot to learn from you,” Avery responded


    humbly.


    Only then did Avery finally heave a sigh of relief.


    After spending the whole ofst night drawing it, I hope that the fastidious Old Mr. Lambert will ept


    my design.


    With a darkened expression, Yulissa put the design drawing aside. She then said mockingly, “You


    better not think that your work is done just because you gave me a design. If the client is not satisfied


    with it... Hmph!”


    Having said that, she strutted out of the office arrogantly.


    Avery was not bothered by her strange tone. The former quietly sat at her desk and spoke to Cecelia in


    a whisper. “Is Nina okay, Cecelia?”


    Nina had applied for leave after the incident.


    However, Isabe continued to stop Avery from visiting her.


    A week had passed, yet Avery still had not received any news about Nina. Therefore, it was no surprise


    that she was very anxious.


    “She''s fine. Nina said that she has been quite stressed these days. As she is also not feeling well, she


    took the opportunity to take a few extra days off. When she has rposed herself, she wille


    back to the office,” Cecelia exined.


    Upon hearing those words, Avery was slightlyforted. Regardless, there was still a pang of guilt in


    her heart.


    If it were not for her, Nina would not have gotten involved in such a mess. I want to make it up to her,


    but I don''t know if Nina will still want to be close to me after what happened.


    While she was lost in thought, Yulissa returned to the design department.


    She pped her hands twice to gain everyone''s attention. In a loud voice, she said, “Please stop


    everything that you''re currently working on. All architects need to follow me to attend a meeting in


    Conference Room A606.”


    At her order, the architects stood up and proceeded to the conference room.


    Avery smiled bitterly.


    She had been in Trident Group for some time. However, her position was still that of an assistant


    architect. In thepany, assistants were not allowed to attend any meetings for the architects.


    Therefore, she had to stay in the office like the rest of the newly recruited employees.


    Avery was perusing a design profile at her desk when the phone connected to the internal line rang.


    She picked it up and heard Cayden''smanding voice. “Come to A606.”


    “Understood, Mr. Moore.” Then, she stood up and walked happily to the aforementioned conference


    room.


    The conference room was already filled by outstanding architects from every department.


    Trident Group was a multinationalpany, and the design department wasprised of many areas


    that had been divided clearly. It included architecture, jewelry design, fashion,ndscaping,


    environment, industrial design, graphic design, interior design, and others.


    The main lobby of Trident Group''s building was designedvishly. Paintings from several famous artists


    were hung on the walls along the way. Meanwhile, the huge conference room named Conference


    Room A606 was situated on the eighty-eighth floor.


    All the men inside the conference room wore suits and looked zestful. On the other hand, the women


    wore elegant clothes and delicate makeup. At a nce, the typical confident and proud expression


    could be seen on their faces. After all, they were all the crème de crème of the design industry.


    It was no surprise that a novice like Avery was slightly intimidated when she walked past them.


    Without looking at them, she approached Cayden, who was sitting at the head of the table. “What can I


    do for you, Mr. Moore?”


    Not even bothering to lift his head, Cayden pointed at an empty seat and said inly, “Sit down.”


    “T-This is not appropriate,” she responded in a low voice.


    How can I sit here and attend this meeting? I don''t have that right with my current position.


    He quirked a brow domineeringly. “Just sit down. I don''t want to hear any nonsense.”


    Cecelia, who was very observant, was looking at them. She knew that Cayden wanted Avery to join the


    meeting.


    Therefore, she pointed to an empty seat next to her and said unabashedly, “Come here, Avery. You can


    sit here.”


    With a resigned sigh, Avery sat next to her. “Thank you, Cecelia.”


    Cecelia shed her a kind smile. “You''re wee, Avery. You''ve been in thepany for quite some


    time. Moreover, you have excellent designs. I know that you will eventually be an architect. Also, I


    firmly believe that you have a bright future at Trident Group. Just stay here and join the meeting. It can


    help you grow and improve yourself.”


    Avery gave a soft “okay” in response. She sat quietly at the table and waited for the meeting to start.


    Naturally, Yulissa noticed Avery as well.


    When her gaze swept across the room, she was stunned to see Avery, who had her head lowered. All


    of sudden, envious anger appeared on Yulissa''s face.


    By right, Avery isn''t allowed to attend the meeting for the architects, so I didn''t expect her to join us. Not


    only that, but she''s sitting so close to Mr. Moore! How dare she? Then again, I''m not surprised. A vixen


    like her must haveined to him. That''s the only reason someone as stern and disciplined as Mr.


    Moore would make an exception for her.


    At that thought, the repulsion she felt toward Avery increased another notch.


    We''ll see who gets thestugh. I''m sure that a woman who uses her body in exchange for a


    promotion like her will be kicked out by Mr. Moore soon!


    However, Yulissa started to get jealous when she recalled the perfect design that Avery gave her


    earlier in the morning.


    If she really is the one who designed it, then this woman has talents that can''t be underestimated.


    It was difficult for Yulissa to exin it, but she had a strong feeling that Avery would get a promotion in


    the near future. Therefore, she had to stop Avery. Otherwise, thetter might soon be her


    superior.


    The sudden thought surprised her.


    She red at Avery before making a vow to herself. I have to find a way to get Avery to embarrass


    herself in front of everyone!
