Reese’s expression turned cold as she simcated the recording and screen recording functions on her phone

When Reese walked into Clark’s office, he didn’t mince words and got right to the point about what he wanted from her, something that Reese had already predicted, after being in the same scenario for two years, “Reese, 1 heard you drafted a brand new design that is even better than the one you gave Alexa yesterday!”

Reese nodded. “Yes, I thought of another great design, so I sketched it down casually,” She said nonchalantly.

“Then give this new design to Aleza, You don’t need this one anyway!” Clark didn’t even bother to hide his vile intentions and spoke to Reese in a commanding manner,

Reese suppressed her anger and discomfort inside her. How come she never realized that Clark was such a despicable person right from the start?

Instead of agreeing to his wishes as usual, she flatly refused. “I won’t. This design is for me! Besides, 1 already gave her a design yesterday, haven’t 12”

“That one wasn’t as good as this one today. Do you think I don’t know? Besides, what do you need it for? Is this design as important to you as it is to Alexa? If she impresses the judges at the Century Jewelry Competition tomorrow, she might have a chance to participate in the World Jewelry Competition. As for you, have you produced any work in the past two years? Who even knows who you are in this industry?” Clark’s face darkened as he continues to speak.

Reese’s face also turned unpleasant. “I haven’t produced any work because all my design drafts from the past two years were taken by you for Alexa! Clark, how can you say such things? Anyway, I had already set my foot down. I won’t give her this design!”

Clark immediately figured that maybe going for a hard approach won’t do any good; so, he tried again, but he softened his tone this time. “Reese, I know you’ve always been the most softhearted. Alexa is the gold signboard of our Trifleming Jewelry now. Even if you don’t consider her, you should consider me. We’re getting married in the future, and Trifleming Jewelry will belong to both of us!”

He added with a softer tone, “Besides, you’ve given all your design drafts to her in the past two years. It’s useless to say these things now. Alexa will participate in the Century Jewelry Competition hosted by Strakovski Jewelry tomorrow, and it’s really important to her. We’ve reached this point; it’s better to give her a push. If she steps onto the world stage and benefits from it, it will still be good for our Trifleming Jewelry!”

But Reese was unusually stubborn this time. “I still haven’t changed my mind. I won’t give her this

design! I want to keep this for myself! She declared.

Clark’s face grew more and more unpleasant, and in the end, he surrendered. “Fine, fine, fine! If you don’t want to give it, then forget it!” He waved impatiently.

With an unsightly expression, Reese huffed as she turned around to leave the office.

As she left the office, she saved the recording and screen recording, sneering slightly.

Before leaving work, Reese put today’s original design draft in her bag and stored a backup in a place where the design drafts are usually kept.

Then, she took out a miniature pinhole camera from her pocket and discreetly placed it on the flower vase on the table.

Not long after she finished all this, Alexa came over and approached her. “Reese, did you have an argument with Clark?” She whispered.

Reese’s eyes flickered. “Why do you ask?”

Alexa looked helpless. “I knew it! You had an argument with him! He said that he wants to take you out for a meal, but he asked me to act as the messenger for the both of you!” She said.

Of course, he would approach you! Reese sarcastically thought. “Is that so?” She replied calmly.

Alexa nodded. “Yes! He also said that the three of us should have a meal together. I could really tell from his tone that you have really quarreled!”

After being repeatedly bombarded by Alexa, Reese feigned defeat and satisfied the desires of these two despicable people to have a meal with her. And with that, they went to a well–known Western restaurant in Switzerland with them.

They sat by the window, with Alexa and Clark sitting opposite each other, while Reese sat next to Clark.

After ordering their food, Clark and Alexa chatted as usual, and Reese sat quietly and listened, as usual.

Not far away from the scene, Lukas entered the restaurant with his assistant.

At a glance, the assistant saw the people sitting by the window, but he wasn’t sure what he saw. He did a double take, and his expression suddenly became a bit awkward. “Mr. Strakovski, isn’t that Miss Roberts?” He asked, leading his hand towards his eye view.
