Culver said in a deep voice, "You're fired!"
Donald's heart sank, and he said, "President, it's true that I've lied to the company, but nonetheless, I've also paid for the blueprint. As long as the man keeps his mouth shut, everything would be fine. Now that I've contributed to the company, why would you fire me?"
It was incredibly naive of him to think that way.
Culver finally understood why Donald had not made any progress in the design department for so many years. "Did you buy it? How much was it?"
Donald stammered, "Fi-Fi-five thousand dollars."
"Do you really think that he would sell such a valuable blueprint to you at that price? Believe it or not, people will be willing to pay millions for a design like this, even if only a small portion of it were to be posted online. Did he really need to sell it to you?"
As Culver's words made sense, Donald became dumbfounded. "Then, why did he-" "He's using you. He obtained the blueprint illegally.
Once the true owner of the blueprint sues us, our company's reputation will be severely tarnished. How are you going to compensate for that?"
Donald was deeply shocked.
He wobbled and almost fell to the ground.
"President, please forgive me! I'm also a victim, and | didn't think so much about the consequences." "You dug your own grave. Go handle the procedures for you to quit."
After saying that, Culver was no longer in the mood to talk to him.
Aaron came in and sent Donald out.
"Mr. Olsen, what should we do next? Do you need me to ask Miss George out for you?"
"I'll do it myselfl"
Aaron was rendered speechless.
He seemed to notice a trace of elation in Culver's eyes.
Culver had still been hitting the roof when he had scolded Donald just then. To Aaron, his temperament was incredibly volatile. Concurrently, the problem of the blueprint still depressed Naomi.
Therefore, she decided to leave her office and get some fresh air.
Her office building was not located in the city. Instead, it was in the suburbs as Naomi couldn't find any satisfactory buildings in the city at a low price.
As she looked out from the big window in the corridor, beautiful scenery could be seen.
Nature could relax people's minds. Naomi felt that such a view dispelled her dejection.
Then, she heard a rustle. She followed the sound to the end of the corridor and saw that Lindsay was mopping the floor there. Lindsay greeted her when she saw her coming.
"Hello, Miss George."
Naomi looked at her curiously, "Why are you mopping the floor? You said that you had got something to do just now. Don't tell me that you were referring to this!"
Lindsay shook her head, "No! | did have some work to do just now, but I've finished it. The incident in the morning cast a gloom over everyone, and no one bothered to do the cleaning. Hence, | feel like | can help with it, so that our company's image won't be damaged. It's not a big deal."
Naomi was gratified to hear that.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
"| really appreciate your efforts."
Lindsay shook her head, "I'm glad to be of help."
Naomi went into contemplation for a while.
Then, she began to mumble, "This incident happened out of the blue. Which part of the project went wrong?"
Stunned, Lindsay replied, "Well, | don't know either! We are living in the era of the Internet, so perhaps someone hacked into our computers."
Naomi nodded in agreement, "Yes, your theory sounds reasonable. It's just that it happened so suddenly that it concerns me a lot."
She regarded Lindsay as her friend, and that was why she told her about her feelings.
Lindsay lowered her eyes and paused for a second. Then, she raised her head again and said, "Well, life is full of challenges, isn't it? Miss George, you're so kind. I'm sure the heavens will bless you!"
Naomi gave her a wry smile and said, "I'm not that kind. | feel like such a failure!"
She was speaking from the bottom of her heart. In fact, she had never dared to say such words to her family and her close friends before.
She wanted to remain resilient in front of them so that they would not worry about her. On the contrary, in front of Lindsay, she finally confessed her true feelings.
Lindsay put down the mop, slowly walked towards Naomi and sat down in front of her. "Miss George, you are like a fairy to me. Do you believe that?"
Naomi was puzzled for a moment before she smiled.
“No! It would have been more convincing to me if you were to say that I'm a bandit." She failed to associate herself with a fairy.
"It's the truth. | really think you are one!"
Naomi was curious. "Why?"
"You are kind, tough and courageous."
Grinning, Lindsay continued, "As a matter of fact, | once hated you. At that time, you brought Sharon back, causing me to be overshadowed by such a newcomer. | was really resentful back then and | even wrote a resignation letter. | was planning to quit and make a living all by myself."
Naomi pursed her lips, "I'm sorry. | didn't know | would cause you so much trouble."
"No! You don't have to apologize. Only because of that m er did (V1

She paused abruptly.
Naomi patted her on the shoulder. In response to that, Lindsay said, "It wasn't until now that | realized | should just be myself." After that, the two of them chatted for a long time until it was almost four o'clock.
Naomi got up and said, "All right, you should go back fast after you've done with work here!"
"Okay, you too. Don't worry, | believe we can overcome these difficulties eventually."
"We definitely will!"
Naomi watched as Lindsay went downstairs.
Just when Lindsay arrived at the garage, a man came out of nowhere and pulled her over.
Before she could scream for help, another man had covered her mouth.
"Don't shout, it's us, my old friend!"
Lindsay opened her eyes and stared at them. They were Evan's subordinates.
"| thought we were done with each other. Why are you guys here?"
Evan had been imprisoned whereas Queenie had gone abroad. As a result, Lindsay thought the matter was over. "Miss Sanders, what are you talking about? Our deal hasn't been completed yet. That's why we must look for you." Lindsay asked in a low voice, "There is no deal between us!"
"Of course there is. It was you who promised us that you would areien to teach Naomiglessonott you ad done gdurob properly, the results would be more gratifying than just Naomi having her arm scalded." Please read the original content at .
Lindsay pursed her lips and rejoined, "| didn't take the money you offered. Why are you still coming to me?" “Well, don't tell me that you have forgotten about the blueprint."
"You're despicable! You two copied it from my computer without my consent! Be careful, or I'll tell on you two!" "Go ahead! Once Naomi knows that you've betrayed her, will she still let you stay in the company?"
Lindsay faced the dilemma of losing her job or lying to Naomi. She really loved her job as she fisaly hadkat'' nigi g and started to think of the company as her home. Moreover, she had an amiable boss. She couldn't bear to leave. Please read the original content at .
