Chapter 943: Chapter 943 Temporarily Classified
"Are you sure?" Charlotte Thompson stared at Florienna Ellis’s cheek and slowly inquired.
For some reason, Florienna always had a vague feeling, yet the Charlotte before her eyes was just all smiles.
But once she thought of the reward, Florienna naturally cast aside that thought and nodded repeatedly, "Of course I’m sure. How could I get this wrong?"
"Alright, then." Charlotte nodded.
Florienna’s face lit up with pleasure, and seeing that Charlotte was about to conclude the meeting, she quickly stood up.
"Miss Thompson, may I know what the reward is?" While she spoke, Florienna enunciated the word "reward" very clearly, as if afraid that others might not hear it.
In reality, for such matters, the staff could completely refrain from inquiring, but Florienna was who she was—she just had to show off in front of everyone.
"That’s a secret for now." Charlotte watched Florienna’s high and mighty attitude and curved her lips slightly.
However, that expression from Charlotte was enough to make Florienna’s imagination run wild.
"Alright, everyone go back and continue with your work." Charlotte turned off the projector and left with her computer.
And the moment Charlotte walked out of the conference room, indignant voices began to spread within it.
"This is just too unfair. It was the team leader who made the final modifications to the design draft. How come Florienna gets all the benefit? She didn’t do anything!"
"Exactly, Team Leader, how can you tolerate this? You should explain the situation clearly to Miss Thompson."
A few junior employees couldn’t help but whisper among themselves, feeling injustice on behalf of Elijah Walker.
Meanwhile, Elijah’s gaze was straight and unwavering, as if he hadn’t heard the voices around him.
"Team Leader Walker! Team Leader Walker!" It was only when someone reached out and touched him that Elijah came back to his senses.
"What?" Elijah answered, taken aback.
"Team Leader Walker, it was you who helped Florienna with the design draft. How can all the credit go to her now?" The little employee spoke discontentedly.
But before Elijah could say anything, someone knocked on the desk.
Everyone looked up to see that the one knocking was none other than the one who was usually closest to Florienna—Lola.
"What nonsense are you spouting? That design draft was originally Florienna’s work. What does it have to do with certain people?"
As she spoke, Lola crossed her arms and swept her gaze over the faces of everyone present.
"Besides, instead of wasting time gossiping behind people’s backs, it would be better to focus on your work. If you can’t come up with a good design on your own, all you do is sit here and be jealous of others."
"Forget it, Lola. Why bother arguing with these people? Maybe soon I won’t have the chance to work with them anymore," Florienna said, casually examining her newly done nails.
"Right, who knows? Maybe this time you could become the head of the design department, Florienna." Lola leaned in beside Florienna, smiling obsequiously.
The remaining employees initially wanted to add more, but Elijah Walker just waved them off, signaling that they should go about their work.
Elijah’s gaze, however, couldn’t help but fall on Florienna’s face.
If it weren’t for yesterday’s incident, he would probably truly feel bitter inside.
But now...
At this thought, Elijah couldn’t help but sigh.
Yet, this action of his caught Florienna’s attention. She stood up and walked over to Elijah.
"Team Leader Walker, you don’t blame me for the issue with the design draft, do you?" Florienna put on a quite innocent expression.
"After all, you know that we are independent designers, and the designs belong to the individual designer. Even though you helped me revise the draft, the design ultimately came from my hand."
