Chapter 93
Chapter 93 Malice from the Design Department
Kate subtly furrowed her brows. Maia always gave her an odd feeling. She couldn’t tell if it was just in her imagination.
Suppressing the unease, Kate maintained a gracious smile while listening to Maia’s introduction. “Mrs. Davison, you might not know, but our company sets a very high bar, especially for our designers.”
Maia covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She said, “Mr. Davison demands the best from his designers. He insists that every design product from our company be a masterpiece worthy of international acclaim.”
As she spoke, Maia clapped her hands lightly, drawing the attention of the designers on the twenty–sixth floor. Designers from the lower floors also gathered on the twenty–sixth.
“Everyone, please pause your work and gather around.”
Maia remained impeccably polite, even with her lips‘ curves unchanged. She introduced, “This is Mrs. Davison. She will be overseeing the collaborative project between our department and Miles Corporation. Let’s give her a warm welcome.”
There were only five designers on the twenty–sixth floor, all in their early thirties–two men and three women. They turned their gaze to Kate, who could sense a hint of disdain and displeasure in their eyes.
Nevertheless, they clapped their hands in a perfunctory and stiff manner, officially welcoming Kate.
Designers, particularly at the Davison Group, carried an inherent sense of pride.
Kate, a wealthy heiress of the Lowes family, had previously worked as a designer. Although she kept a low profile and never publicly showcased her work or participated in international competitions, that didn’t mean she lacked the ability.
She understood their pride and why they looked down on her.
“Hello, I’m Kate Lowe.”
Ignoring the mockery and scorn, Kate remained calm and continued, “My role includes overseeing the collaboration between the design department and Miles Corporation. My tasks also include handling the coordination and review of every design. I look forward to working with you all.”
A smattering of applause followed, indicating the designers‘ lack of interest and even some
resentment.
After all, who on earth was Kate?

Chapter 93 Malice from the Design Department
No one had heard of Kate having any design skills. Now she was parachuting into their. department, even surpassing Maia, the department head, to lead the entire project!
What makes her qualified to oversee the project?
Finished
In their minds, Maia should be responsible for overseeing this project and liaising with Miles Corporation.
Though they harboured such thoughts, they didn’t show them in front of Kate.
Over the past three years of her marriage to Eric, the public’s perception of Kate has solidified into that of a spoiled, vain trophy wife, a pampered woman with no real skills.
Even if Kate had outshone Lana during their university years, it didn’t matter. Three years of silence had left most people convinced she was nothing more than a pampered, capricious heiress.
Kate noted everyone’s reactions. She grinned and said, “Please go back to your work. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to the restroom.”
Maia offered to be her guide, saying, “Mrs. Davison, I’ll show you the way.”
Once Kate and Maia had left, the designers began to voice their dissatisfaction in hushed tones.
“Why is this woman suddenly managing this project? Wasn’t Maia supposed to lead it?”
“She probably begged Mr. Davison for it. I can’t believe he agreed!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Yeah, does Mrs. Davison even understand design? I hope she doesn’t mess up the project!”
