Chapter 19
Everyone started giving Natalie the side-eye upon hearing Jasmine’s words; none of them were
weing. She understood Jasmine was trying to put her in the line of fire by implying that she got the
job through a backdoor approach. That way, she would quit the job voluntarily when she couldn’t stand
being ostracized by other colleagues.
Her anger spiked the moment she saw Jasmine’s smirk. But before she could even say anything,
Jasmine’s assistant came running in, gabbling in panic, “Jasmine, something bad has happened!”
Jasmine had just put Natalie on the spot, so she was displeased being interrupted by Penny. Pulling a
long face, she asked impatiently, “What’s the rush? What’s going on?”
With her hands on her knees, Penny took a moment gasping for air before she exined, “T-the
warehouse… The s-shelf in the warehouse copsed!”
“What did you say? The shelf copsed?!” Jasmine grabbed hold of her assistant’s cor.
“Yes.”
“What about the fabrics?” Jasmine started to panic.
Penny swallowed dryly before answering, “Hundreds of bolts of fabrics and textiles are now scattered on
the floor. We can’t distinguish the fabrics now because thebels are all detached.”
“Damn it!” Jasmine shoved Penny away and started running toward the warehouse. Now she had no
time to bother about Natalie.
All the other designers followed suit to check it out.
Soon, Natalie was the only one left in the office. She pondered for a moment while holding the project
document and eventually decided to follow them to the warehouse.
When she reached the warehouse, Jasmine was roaring angrily at the designers. “Don’t just stand there
doing nothing! Put the fabrics back onto the shelves ordingly. The contracting party will be here to
collect them soon.”
“But Ms. Jasmine, these are all Grade-F fabrics and some of the most expensive textiles. We are not
familiar with them. How can we possibly identify all of them?” One of the designers voiced his concern.
With a gloomy expression, Jasmine pointed at the person as she uttered, “I don’t care how you guys are
going to do it. You only have one hour. If you don’t manage to put them back in order in time, all of you
will receive punishment.”
Natalie couldn’t help furrowing her brows when she heard Jasmine threatening the designers. It was
understandable that Jasmine wanted to put everything back in order, but she had put the designers in a
difficult situation since they knew little about the fabrics. It was an impossible task to sort them out within
an hour.
“Shouldn’t you be working in the office? Why is everyone gathering here?” Just then, a cold voice rang
out from outside the warehouse.
Natalie turned around to find Shane walking in her direction, his face devoid of expression. “Mr. Shane.”
She turned around and greeted him.
Shane gave her a slight nod as he walked into the warehouse. In no time, he found Jasmine in the
middle of the crowd as the designers all gave way to him.
Jasmine was nervous upon seeing his cold expression. Pretending to be calm, she forced a smile and
asked, “Shane, why are you here?”
“You’re asking me why am I here?” He nced at her coldly before casting his eyes over the fabrics on
the floor. His face instantly grew grim. “Jasmine Smith, I remember telling you two days ago that the
shelves were shaky and needed maintenance. Not only that, but I’ve also asked you to send the fabrics
to the contracting party as soon as possible. Why didn’t you do as I said?”

Jasmine kept her head down in the face of his anger. “I was too busy, so…”
“That is not an excuse!” He relentlessly gave her a roasting.
Clenching her fists, Jasmine felt resentment boiling in her heart. At the same time, she felt embarrassed
being scolded in front of the designers, especially when Natalie was around.
