One Night Stand With That Beggar

Only then did Eudora realize that even the meal with her yesterday was part of her plan. She fell into the trap without even knowing it.

The rest of the colleagues were jealous of Eudora. They were not going to allow her to succeed this easily.

Now that Jacqueline had started, they were going to continue the story for her.

“That’s right. We saw them having lunch together yesterday, talking and laughing.” One said while another added,

“Yes, I also heard that Jacqueline reassured Eudora that she would always help if she doesn’t understand anything!”

Eudora frowned. “The meal is just a coincidence. Plus, there are only a few interior styles to choose from in total. Why can’t I choose the same style as yours, Miss Zac?”

Her points were not convincing at all!

“Of course you didn’t! You copied more than that!” Jacqueline exclaimed.

Jacqueline pointed to a spot on the screen and added, “This is on my draft too. I designed it!”

It was a European-style garden rack. Eudora had added it onto her design to make it look more elegant.

Eudora had included it in her new work too.

It never occurred to Eudora that this would become proof to say that she plagiarized others’ works! Although Jacqueline did not edit any part of the drawing, she had paid attention to the details in Eudora’s work.

Christopher frowned upon hearing this.

Everyone was mumbling among themselves, discussing the best way to get rid of Eudora.

“Both your designs are so similar. Could you have accidentally mentioned it to someone, Jacqueline? Or did someone lure you to tell her your idea?”

Jacqueline glared at Eudora, and everyone was convinced that Eudora was the thief.

Eudora took a deep breath and said, “Yes, Miss Zac, you are right!”

No one expected that Eudora was going to admit it.

Jacqueline could not hide her wicked gaze. Her determination to destroy Eudora grew stronger.

Eudora continued, “I was indeed used by someone. But it is not me. It’s you, Jacqueline Zac!”

Jacqueline’s smile froze on her face and yelled, “Nonsense.”

“We will speak with evidence! If this is truly your design, show us the materials you collected,” Eudora replied.

Jacqueline was stunned. She overlooked this.

Jacqueline thought that someone who was always nice and friendly like Eudora would not dare to speak up. She didn’t expect that Eudora could remain calm in this situation and come out with such a strong point against her.

“I completed it at one go!” Jacqueline gritted her teeth and whispered.

Eudora nodded. “Okay. I’ll show everyone my preparation work then.”

Eudora opened her file folder and took out all the materials and examples she had collected in the past few days. She also showed some of her drafts, all of which had the timestamps on it.

The dates showed that Eudora drafted her work days ago.

Knowing the truth after seeing all the evidence, Christopher looked at Eudora with admiration.

Jacqueline continued to argue, “These things can only prove that we chose the same concept by coincidence, but you can’t deny that you copied my work!”

“No, I didn’t!” Eudora rebutted. She enlarged the garden rack on Jacqueline’s design.

“Please look carefully at the corner of this flower rack,” Eudora pointed.

Everyone’s eyes followed Eudora’s finger.

Christopher was the first one to spot it. He exclaimed, “It’s a G!”

A letter G was seen on a corner of the garden rack. It was extremely small, so they didn’t notice it at first sight.

After Christopher pointed it out, everyone nodded and said, “Look, her initial is there!”

“Oh, I see.”

“That’s interesting!” Christopher said with a smile.

Someone suddenly hinted, “President Gellert, how should we deal with those who want to frame others when in reality she was the one who plagiarized others’ work?”

“Yeah! I feel sick at the thought of working with her!” Another added.

“I really didn’t expect that. She’s a well-known designer!”

Jacqueline’s face was livid and screamed, “You ungrateful people!”

“At least we are better than you thieving monster!” They shouted.

“Ah!” Jacqueline was not backing down and bellowed, “Neither do I want to work with any of you!” She stormed out of the meeting room.

“Well, let’s forget her!” Christopher said, “Shall we talk about the results now? We are going to choose 4 winning designs today to show our clients. I think the first place should go to Eudora. Are there any objections?”

“Agreed!” Everyone approved.

“That’s settled then!” Christopher announced the other three winning works and ended the meeting.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Eudora quickly dashed out, trying to catch Jacqueline. She screamed, “Wait a minute!”

Jacqueline sped up while carrying her stuff.

“Jacqueline!” Eudora shouted again, “Stop! Why did you do this to me?”

Jacqueline sneered, “Don’t you realize it? It’s all because of your reckless behavior.”

“My behavior?” Eudora didn’t understand what she said.

“You know your private life better than anyone does. You will regret offending someone you should have never offended!” Jacqueline warned.

She left without looking back.

Eudora frowned and repeated, “Someone whom I should not have offended?”

Eudora had no idea who was this person Jacqueline referring to. When she returned to the office, Christopher came and invited her, “Let’s go. We are going to take our designs to participate in the selection!”

Eudora’s jaw dropped down slightly and reconfirmed, “Me?”

Christopher nodded. “Of course, it’s you. You defeated the most qualified designer in our department, Jacqueline, who just quit. Who else if it’s not you? Let’s go!”

Eudora accepted the invitation and followed Christopher out.

However, her heart was filled with nervousness. She was told that her opponent was from a very reputable company. She was not confident if she was going to win.

Deep in her thoughts, she heard approaching footsteps from the door.

Eudora immediately stood up to greet them when she was told that her opponent company had arrived.

“Amos? So their opponent was Valiant East?” She screamed in her mind, dumbfounded.

“It’s over. We are going to lose this time!” Eudora muttered in Christopher’s ears.

He disagreed, “That’s not necessarily true.”

Upon entering the room, Amos saw them whispering to each other. Christopher raised his head and smiled at him.

Amos looked away, trying to avoid making eye contact.
