09:39 Sat , Counterback of the Despised Luna As the head of the design department and a long time employee of the company , how could she lack such basic judgment ? Sabrina , youre in the design department .

You dont need to worry about the press conference .

Instead of spending time on this , you should focus on improving your departments work , I said , Sabrina was immediately furious , Ive never met anyone so shameless ! You clearly plagiarized and still refuse to admit it .

Im going to report this to Mr.

Holbrook and have him cancel the press conference ! Caden has entrusted me with full responsibility for the press conference , I deflected , frustrated by the situation .

What ? Thats impossible ! Sabrina refused to believe it .

She then sneered , Rosaline , you really think too highly of yourself .

How could Mr.

Holbrook possibly give the press conference to a plagiarist like you ? I was getting genuinely annoyed and decided to ignore her .

However , she blocked my way and kept questioning me with an aggressive attitude .

More and more colleagues gathered around , whispering among themselves .

Suddenly , a familiar cold voice rang out , I gave Rosaline responsibility for the press release .

Do any of you have a problem with that ? I looked up to see Cadens familiar figure in the hallway .

Why did you gather around here during working hours ? Cadens voice was stern .

The crowd of employees immediately fell silent and quickly returned to their desks , not daring to make a sound .

Mr.

Holbrook , Sabrina rushed over to him .

Did you see the news ? Heartstone Jewels just released a design that looks exactly like Rosalines Ice and Fire design .

So what ? Caden frowned .

Sabrina was stunned .

She looked back and forth between me and Caden , then shouted , That means Rosalines plagiarized those designs ! Fearing that Caden might not understand , Sabrina took out her phone and showed him the online design from Heartstone Jewels .

Here , here , and here .

The jewelry Heartstone Jewels released looks almost identical to Rosalines Ice and Fire .

And the key idea , the Unbound concept , proves Rosaline copied Marilyn .

Caden shot Sabrina a cold look .

Why didnt you question if Marilyn copied Rosaline ? Sabrina bit her lip and said , Mr.

Holbrook , Marilyn is one of the top jewelry designers .

Shes won several prestigious international awards in recent years .

How could she possibly copy someone like Rosaline , who doesnt even understand design ? T נ … וד CALLI 1/3 09:39 Sat , 15 Mar Defeated , Sabrina walked away .

The rest of the employees under Cadens cold gaze returned to their .

workstations .

I couldnt stop thinking about the press conference in 2 days and immediately focused back on my tasks .

After all , I had to make sure everything went flawlessly .

This press conference wasnt just about the company reputation it was also about my reputation as a designer .

As the night grew late , I continued working at my desk .

Suddenly , I heard familiar footsteps approaching .

I looked up to find Caden standing there , holding a thermos .

Arent you going home ? I asked in surprise .

He placed the thermos on my desk and said in a low voice , Your dinner .

Dinner ? I suddenly realized I hadnt eaten yet .

How did Caden know I hadnt had dinner ? And why had he brought it to me himself ? Open it and take a look , Caden said , the rare softness in his voice surprising me .

I hesitated but opened the thermos .

The smell of food wafted up , and inside were all my favorite homemade dishes .

Where did this come from ? I sniffed the smell , my stomach growling as soon as the scent reached me .

Id forgotten about dinner in my focus on work .

Caden slightly smiled as he looked at me .

I made it .

He made it ? There wasnt a kitchen in the office , so he must have gone home and prepared it himself , all so he could just to bring it to me .

A warm feeling spread through me , and I smiled at him .

Thank you ! Try it and see if you like it , Caden said , clearly in a good mood as he sat down next to me .

I didnt want to be rude , so I tried the food and genuinely praised it as I ate .

Just then , my phone rang with a cheerful ringtone .

Cadens eyes flicked to my phone , and when he saw the caller ID as Jasper on the screen , his face visibly darkened .

I ignored him and answered the call .

Jasper ; is there something you need ? Its me .

Rosaline .

lasners deep voice came through .

filled with concern .

I saw the news about Heartstone 2/3 Jewels today , and I know it put you at a disadvantage .

But dont worry , Ill testify for you , proving you didnt plagiarize .

I put the phone on speaker so Caden could hear .

When I shot the endorsement ad , the sample for jewelry had already been created .

We used it during the shoot , so I can prove the sample was made before Heartstone Jewels news came out yesterday .

Ive also contacted Bruce and Naomi , and theyre willing to testify for you as well .

Jasper was sincere , but Caden didnt seem to care as he curled his lips into a disinterested smile .

Sigh , these competitive men ! Even though Jasper and his team could testify , Heartstone Jewels would have likely anticipated this and prepared their own counterattack .

Proving that Heartstone Jewels had plagiarized at the press conference in 2 days wouldnt be as simple as it seemed .

But I already had a plan in mind , so I wasnt worried .

I looked at Caden and gave a faint smile .

Thanks , but I can handle this on my own .

What Im really more concerned about right now is how my design got leaked .
