Fifteen minutes before the meeting , she took a trip to the restroom . When she came out of the bathroom , everyone from the Design Department had already gone to the meeting room , but no one called her . She returned to her workstation and tidied up . " Ms. Wilkinson . " Fiona's call came through . Yakira looked up . With a confident smile , Fiona said , " I'll see how you perform later . " Yakira did not speak . With a confident smile , Fiona walked away briskly . Yakira took her laptop and followed along . After everyone had sat down , there was a short wait before Brayden appeared . He was accompanied by Patricia . Patricia wore a professional suit , looking very capable . Standing beside Brayden , they were a perfect match , with their talent and beauty . When these two people stood side by side , the first impression they gave was that they were a couple . Yakira felt Brayden's cold gaze and quickly looked away . Five years , I didn't learn anything else . Inner strength was learned . Seeing the two of them , her heart didn't stir much . 0.00 % 11:10 Chapter48 288 Vouchers Brayden felt inexplicably choked up seeing Yakira ignore his presence . This woman , now , really doesn't care about her at all . Patricia's gaze flickered between the two , her eyes darkening slightly . After Brayden sat down , Patricia spoke up : " Ms. Barrera , Ms. Wilkinson , are your design sketches ready ? " " Mr. Blanchard , Ms. McDowell , the design drafts are all out , " Fiona said hastily . Then Gretchen gestured to take out the draft . Gretchen connected the computer to the screen and pulled up the design draft . " Mr. Blanchard , Ms. McDowell , this is the new logo design we have created , incorporating new elements into The Blanchard Group's logo to highlight the new product . " Gretchen spoke with great confidence . This was designed by a group of experienced designers . Every time they came out as a group , there was no design that was not used . And Ms. Barrera also praised their design this time as very innovative , bold , and eye- catching . " Yes , indeed , the logo does give a fresh look , " Patricia praised generously . This made Gretchen even more pleased . Patricia looked at Brayden and asked , " Mr. Blanchard , what do you think ? " " Mm , " Brayden just gave a cold response , his gaze fixed on Yakira and never wavering . Patricia followed his gaze to the hand on the table , and couldn't help but tighten her grip a little . However , she quickly composed herself and looked at Yakira , asking , " Ms. Wilkinson , where is your design sketch ? " Yakira got up and went to the projector , connecting her computer to it . When she opened the file , it was blank , there was nothing inside . Her face changed . 11:10 Chapter48 288 iVouchers Fiona sneered and pursed her lips , " Ms. Wilkinson , where are your design sketches ? Haven't you finished them ? " " My draft was deleted . " Yakira said calmly . Her words made Fiona laugh scornfully . Gretchen interjected , " Haha , Ms. Wilkinson , if it wasn't designed , it wasn't designed . Using with this excuse , your design drafts are on your computer . You carry your computer you every day , who could have deleted them . " " Ms. Wilkinson , what's going on ? " Patricia asked . The design draft is gone , no matter how much Yakira explains , it's useless . Gretchen continued , " Ms. McDowell , she was just a designer from a small , unknown studio . How could she come up with a good logo ? These days , she hardly even comes to the company . And when she does , she's always late and leaves early . " " I saw that she didn't design it at all , so she just found a draft and used the excuse that it was deleted by someone . " " Ms. Wilkinson , it was agreed upon at that time , the submission is due today , " said Patricia . He then continued with a tone of reproach , " How can the company's work continue if you act like this ? If you are unable to handle it , you could have said so at the time , Mr. Blanchard and I would not have forced you . " Everyone , except Brayden , was looking at her with strange eyes now . There was a hint of disdain in his eyes . " Heh , " Yakira chuckled lightly . " I couldn't believe that the prestigious Blanchard Group , who claim to be experienced designers , would be afraid of me , a small designer from an unknown studio , and delete my drafts " " Yakira , what do you mean ? Who deleted your draft ? " Gretchen scolded Fiona was also very dissatisfied : " Ms. Wilkinson , when you speak , you need to provide evidence . You said that we , the Design Department , deleted your draft . Do you have any evidence ? If you don't have evidence , we can sue you for defamation . " 53.62 % 11:10 Chapter48 1 288 Vouchers " Ms. Wilkinson , you didn't design it , we won't blame you , no need to make a scene , " Patricia said . It sounded like he was speaking up for her , but he was actually accusing her of lying . She didn't even give Yakira a chance to speak , looking at Brayden , she said , " Mr. Blanchard , since Ms. Wilkinson didn't come up with a design draft , let's go with a set of designs . I think their logo this time fits well with our new product theme . "
