Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Teach You a Good Lesson
After a while, Florienna Ellis’s phone rang. It was indeed Teddy Carter calling.
"Hello? Florienna, what’s happened to you? Why are you feeling down?"
"It’s because of the design draft," Florienna answered evasively.
"Design draft? If I remember correctly, wasn’t your team only responsible for the new products of the season? Besides, hasn’t it already been completed?"
"It’s precisely because of this season’s new product launch that my design draft was deliberately suppressed by our team leader, Elijah Walker, and was not chosen for the design. So the new products launched this season don’t have any of my work."
In fact, aside from latching onto George Robbins, Florienna originally stole the draft she used in her design work from Teddy Carter.
Florienna was afraid that Teddy would discover this, so she always kept her distance from him.
But now that her design draft wasn’t chosen, Florienna wasn’t worried anymore.
"What? Who gave Elijah Walker the guts to do such a thing?"
"Who else could it be but our Miss Thompson? See how much she values Elijah Walker now."
Florienna’s tone was tinged with sarcasm, but Teddy on the other end of the call couldn’t detect it.
"What’s Elijah Walker anyway, getting all cocky like that?"
Teddy had always been a rival of Elijah Walker’s, and even though Elijah had joined the company later than he did, Elijah had somehow managed to attain a status on par with him.
Teddy was, of course, full of disdain for Elijah, and the news from Florienna made him feel like he had something to hold over Elijah’s head.
"Then..." Florienna’s eyes darted around, but before she could say anything more, a noisy commotion came from Teddy’s end of the call.
"I have a meeting to attend now. Let’s not talk any further. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely give that Elijah Walker a good lesson for you."
After saying this, Teddy hung up the call.
They had a meeting scheduled that morning to welcome designers from XTZ, so all the team leaders of the various design departments and the company’s independent designers gathered for it.
After hanging up, Teddy looked around and happened to spot Elijah Walker approaching.
He snickered to himself, then walked toward Elijah.
"I must congratulate you, Elijah, the great designer."
Teddy looked at Elijah Walker with a beaming smile, and without lowering his voice, as soon as his words ended, many eyes around them turned towards the pair.
Teddy had always been cold and distant to him, and now suddenly, he was greeting Elijah with a smile. Elijah felt there was something odd.
"Designer Teddy, what do you mean by that? There’s nothing to congratulate me on," Elijah said indifferently, not really wanting to engage with Teddy.
"Don’t be so modest, Designer Elijah. The new products launched this season have received so much praise, and now you’re a highly sought-after figure in our design department, even Miss Thompson holds you in high regard."
Teddy said to Elijah, full of smiles, "You were always under the radar before, and to think that this time the new product design would fall into your hands, you’re really lucky."
The task of launching the new products for the season was something many had fought over, and no one had imagined that it would end up with Elijah Walker.
Even though Elijah also served as the head of a design department, he had never competed for the limelight like the others and was always inconspicuous. So this sudden acquisition of the task by him had indeed taken many by surprise.
