Chapter 78


    Shane waited patiently for her to finish. His eyebrows furrowed together. “Who spread those rumors?”


    “It’s them,” Natalie said while handing him a piece of paper from her folder.


    Shane took a quick nce at the names, pushed the paper aside, and leaned back on his chair.


    “What’s your suggestion?”


    Natalie looked at him and answered seriously, “These people not only have been spreading rumors


    about Mr. Sean and me and damaging our reputations, but they also refuse to apologize. So my


    suggestion is to terminate their employment. Besides, there’s one other thing.”


    Shane rested his hands on his crossed knees and asked, “What is it?”


    Natalie handed him all her remaining documents. “Mr. Shane, please take a look at these designs. I


    don’t understand how would such poor designs get through quality control and make their way into the


    market.”


    Shane leafed through the papers. His face darkened.

    Shane was no designer, but anyone could tell these were just amateur designs. He took one look and


    knew these designs were far below the bar set by thepany.


    It was now clear as day why the products of hispany, since its establishment a year ago, had


    be the least popr in the market. Truth be told, it would take more than a miracle for such


    second-rated designs to take thepany to the next level.


    Shane picked up his inte and dialed for Ss. “Come to my office immediately!”


    In no time, Ss had arrived at Shane’s office. He was surprised to see Natalie but still nodded politely


    to her.


    Natalie smiled back at him.


    Shane passed the design papers to Ss and ordered coldly, “Notify the HR department that I want


    these people out of thispany by today.”


    Natalie listened in with a satisfactory smile across her face.


    She knew that Shane would not dismiss people just for gossiping in the office, hence she made copies


    of these designs as her extra ammunition.


    The Shane that she knew would not tolerate workers who were not only ipetent but also enjoyed


    causing disruption in the workce. Natalie was pleased with herself.


    After Ss left the office to carry out Shane’s order, Natalie thought she too, should leave.


    As she was about to step out of his office, Shane called out, “Hang on.”


    Natalie turned around and looked at him, all confused. “Yes, Mr. Shane. Do you have more orders for


    me?


    “Take this.” Shane opened his drawer, from which he retrieved a ck invitation card and passed it to


    her.


    Still perplexed, Natalie looked at the invitation card. “This is...”


    “It’s a gathering for international fashion critics. I want you toe with me,” Shane exined


    sinctly and took a sip of coffee.


    Natalie’s eyes sparkled, but she had to double confirm with him. “Mr. Shane, are you nning to invite


    a few prominent critics from there for our Project Rebirth?”


    “That’s right.” Shane confirmed.


    “Got it! I’ll be there.” Natalie folded the invitation card carefully, making sure she did not crumple it.


    “The flight is 8 in the morning the day after tomorrow. Don’t bete,” Shane reminded.


    “I will be on time, Mr. Shane.” Natalie nodded.


    Suddenly, the office door swung open, and a figure walked past Natalie. The woman rested both her


    hands on Shane’s table and questioned him with reddened eyes, “Shane, what’s going on? I was told


    you dismissed my staff?”


    Shane raised his eyebrows and replied dryly, “Since when are you allowed toe in without


    knocking?”


    Natalie was amused by his response and chuckled.


    Jasmine was irritated by herugh. She turned around and looked at Natalie with disgust.


    Natalie shrugged and stoppedughing.


    Jasmine’s focus was back at Shane. She tried to exin, “I’m sorry Shane, it’s all because I care about


    my staff, that’s why...”


    “That’s enough.” Shane raised his hand to stop Jasmine from exining away her mistake. “Let me ask


    you, for the past year or so, all the designs have to go through you for approval. Is that right?”


    “Yes... That’s correct,” Jasmine muttered. Sensing she might be in trouble, she could not look at him in


    the eyes.


    Shane continued to fix his eyes on her. “Then will you exin to me how did these garbage designs


    manage to get approval from your side?”


    Jasmine was at a loss. She knew she did not have a strong ground on which to stand.
