    Just then, two more people came in from outside. They were designers at her fashion studio and they


    were all in the same situation. “Miss Kaylee, our sketches are gone too.” “Yeah, so is mine.”


    That was when Kaylee realized the severity of the situation. “Get a


    technician toe have a look right now.” From outside, a man replied, “The technician was just with


    me earlier. He said either someone erased it or we were hacked.”


    She was stunned. “Hacked?”


    What hacker would want to attack my small studio? “Is there no way to recover it?” she asked desperat


    ely. “Unfortunately, there isn‘t. The technician said it was a skilled hacker. He can‘t seem to find a trace.


    ” Kaylee flopped in her chair with a ghastly look on her face. Sarah consoled, “Don‘t panic, Miss Kaylee


    . Do you guys have any hand–drawn sketches? If you polish it up a bit, you can probably still make it in


    time for the registration.” Kaylee red at Sarah. “Are you a fool? The contest wants us to submit a digi


    tal copy of our designs!” Sarah fell silent. She only wanted tofort Kaylee. Kaylee brushed them off,


    “Okay, just get out. All of you.” They started to shuffle out of the room. Kaylee sat in her chairpletel


    y dumbfounded. Who


    would hack her tiny studio? She got up and closed the door to her office then made a phone call. “Ben,


    can youe over right now?” A man gushed from the other end of the phone, “What‘s wrong, sweeth


    eart?” “Someone hacked myputer and all my designs are gone,” she said anxiously. “Don‘t fret,


    sweetheart. I‘m out of town right now. Can I go tomorrow? I‘ll take a look at it for you tomorrow.” She


    frowned. “Can’t youe back now?” “Sweetheart, I‘m in Mastar. I can make it back tomorrow at the


    earliest. Don‘t worry. When have I ever pushed off your things?” She


    murmured, “When is your flight? I‘ll go and pick you up.”


    The voice on the phone suddenly turned dubious, “Do


    you miss me already?” “Ugh, did you have to ask?” she grumbled and started to blush, Heughed. “I‘ll


    let you know after I book the ne tickets, I miss you to death.” They flirted back and forth for a while b


    efore hanging up, She sat in her chair and spent some time thinking, I can‘t just sit here in defeat. What


    if Ben can‘t recover the data either? Won‘t I just be wasting my time?


    All of a sudden, she sprung up and left the studio, then drove home to the Aubrey Residence


    When she got home, na was the only one there.


    “Mom!” she yelled as soon as she entered the house,


    na was quite taken aback to see Kayleee home. “Why are you back already?”


    “Did you throw away all of Gianna‘s things?” Kaylee asked. na could not understand what was happ


    ening. “All of her things are in storage.” Kaylee did not have time to exin


    and went straight into the storage. She searched through it for about half an hour beforeing out wit


    h a book of design sketches. na asked, “What is that?”


    “Design sketches. The sketch I prepared for


    thepetition got erased. There are only a few more days left before the registration closes. I’m goin


    g to see if I can find anything useful in here,” she said as she flipped through the book. Those sketches


    came from the sudden bursts of inspiration Gianna got while she studied design. They were allpile


    d into one thick book. When Gianna left the housest time, she did not manage to take all these things


    with her.


    Kaylee stopped flipping abruptly


    and her gaze fell on the page in front of her. There were four formal wear sketches altogether; each of th


    plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. There was a fusion of traditional Chinese art in the designs


    each one was mesmerizing and refreshing to look at. Originally, Kaylee wanted toe home to distrac


    expect, however, that Gianna would have such contemporary ideas in designs from seven years


    ago. “This one. I should be able to use this to enter the contest,” she mused. na


    was slightly concerned. “I heard that Gianna is back. If she catches you, aren’t you afraid


    she‘ll sue you for copyright infringement?”
