Chapter 77 Filthy Rich

Austin lowered his head, his handsome face suddenly drawing close to her. Freya was startled and pressed herself against the elevator wall.

"Next time something like this happens, just tell them that I'm your man, so no one will dare to disrespect you.."

Freya blushed, waving her hand, and said, "That won't be necessary."

They were so close that Freya could see clearly his face. He was so good-looking. and his face was flawless.

"Do you find me attractive?" Austin raised an eyebrow and asked, as he saw her staring at his face.

Freya snapped out of it and quickly averted her eyes. She replied, "In my eyes, my son is the most handsome. You resemble him, so you're good-looking, too."

What kind of logic was that? Austin was left speechless and frustrated.

At that moment, the elevator doors chimed open, and they arrived on the tenth floor.

Looking angry, Freya stepped out and walked towards the reception desk, asking, "Excuse me, where is Ms. Kelly's office?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"May I ask who you are? Do you have an appointment with Ms. Kelly?"

"Yes, and it's something urgent." Freya replied through clenched teeth. With these words, she turned around and noticed that Austin had already entered the office.

"Hey, wait for me." Freya shouted as she hurriedly followed him.

Inside the office, Austin gave off a chilling aura, and his eyes were cold and menacing. He asked in a deep, commanding voice, "Where can I find your boss?"

"May I ask why you want to meet our boss?" A male stood up and asked, his eyes showing a hint of fear.

Austin glanced at him and said, "I want to discuss a potential acquisition."

"And may I have your name?"

"Austin." he replied. His name alone seemed to represent the supreme power of the business world.

The entire office was murmuring. The male employee pointed toward the boss's office and said, "She's in there."

Austin strode toward there, and behind him, Freya just walked inside. Seeing Austin was going to meet the boss, she asked a female employee next to her, "Could you show me where Ms. Kelly's office is?"

"Who is asking to see me?" came a sharp, annoyed female voice.

A tall, fashionable middle-aged woman walked over with a cup of coffee in hand. She glared at Freya and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Freya, a designer of Carmen Jewelry. I have noticed that you have plagiarized my work in one of your design drawings. You must remove this design from your company's website immediately and never use it again."

Freya said in a high-pitched voice, and everyone at the office was abuzz. They couldn't believe their chief designer was being accused of copying the design.

Jessica's expression turned grim, and she sneered, "What nonsense! Why would I, Jessica, stoop so low as to plagiarize your work? Those designs are my original creation. Spare me your groundless accusations."

Freya's fists clenched. She refuted, "Deep down, you know clearly whether you have copied my work or not. I may let it slide that you've stolen my designs, but you must return the drawing to me immediately."

Jessica was embarrassed and suddenly raised her voice, "On what grounds do you accuse me of plagiarism? You are not the only one with a creative mind. Perhaps it's merely a coincidence. Now, this drawing belongs to me, and let me warn you instead. You had better not use it any longer. Otherwise, I will take legal action to protect my rights."

Freya was livid. It was crystal clear that Jessica had shamelessly copied her work, while she was not sorry for it. Jessica hadn't even bothered to alter a single thing of the design that Freya had poured her heart and soul into. How dare she profit from her endeavors?

Freya suddenly thought of Austin. Where did he go? Wasn't he here to support her?

At that moment, a young male assistant approached Jessica and said to them, "Ladies, please follow me to the conference room and have a discussion."

"I don't have time for this." Jessica just turned him down.

"Jessica, it's an order from our boss. Please come with me."

Reluctantly, Jessica had to comply and cast a disdainful glance at Freya before entering the room.

Freya furrowed her brow. What was Austin doing?

In the bright conference room, Austin sat in the seat of honor, looking aloof and elegant, as if he was the king.

Seated beside him was a slightly overweight man in his forties, who was constantly wiping sweat with his hand. Though the air conditioning was on, he was sweating.

Who was putting such pressure on him?

Who else could it be?

As she noticed there was another man in the room, Jessica paused for a few seconds. Behind her, Freya looked toward Austin, who mischievously winked at her.

Freya's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily composed herself and put on a serious expression.

"Ms. Brooks, I apologize on behalf of our company. This must be a misunderstanding." The boss of FEEL Jewelry bowed to Freya and apologized in person.

Jessica's face turned pale, and she seemed a little panicked.

Freya knew it was the impact of Austin's status. She snorted, "This is no mere misunderstanding. Your company's employee shamelessly plagiarized my work. It's the plain truth."

"I did no such thing. Don't make baseless accusations." Jessica turned around and retorted.

"Jessica, apologize to Ms. Brooks. I have seen your design, and it was originally created by Ms. Brooks. Even if you didn't copy it, it's still an undeniable imitation."

"I..." Jessica suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

"Ms. Kelly, as a fellow designer, I didn't mean to target you. All I ask is for you to acknowledge your fault and return the design work to me. After all, to correct mistakes is the greatest good." Freya

spoke calmly.

However, these words caused Jessica's face to redden. She looked at the young man standing beside her, and after taking a closer look, her eyes widened in astonishment. Goodness! Was that Austin?

Was this man Austin? No wonder the boss himself had intervened. Austin was here to help this woman?

No matter how proud Jessica was, in front of this man, she had to set aside her pride and keep her job. Reluctantly, she bowed to Freya and said, "I'm sorry that I did plagiarize your work. I assure you it won't happen again."

"You are not sincere enough. Apologize to her once again." Austin was displeased and commanded in a deep voice.

Freya turned her head to glance at Austin, then looked back at Jessica.

Jessica trembled, and there was guilt and remorse on her face. She said, "Ms. Brooks, please accept my sincere apologies. I deeply regret my actions and beg for your forgiveness. I promise I will never do it again."

Freya felt much more satisfied as she listened. She frowned and said, "I would have forgiven you upon your apology. However, this involves one of my clients who admired my design and was going to purchase this piece of jewelry. Unfortunately, she now questions our company's integrity and intends to sue us. Therefore, I hope you can explain what happened to her and clear my name."
