Chapter 303 Coveting Violet
Violet returned to her office and had just sat down when another designer suddenly handed her a small chocolate cake and said, "Violet, did you go on a trip? Mr. Green said you would bring us some souvenirs when you got back!"
Last week, Violet suddenly didn't come to the company, and Max told everyone she was on vacation.
Now that Violet was back, they were naturally curious about where she had gone.
Violet felt awkward when her colleague mentioned souvenirs. She hadn't gone on a trip at all, so she could only say, "I... I just stayed around the area. There wasn't much to buy, so I didn't get anything."
Her colleague laughed and said, "Around here, huh? Yeah, there's not much good stuff. I thought you went abroad."
"No, if I had gone abroad, I would have brought something back," Violet said, smiling awkwardly.
"No worries, try this cake. It's from the Calvin family bakery," her female colleague said with a cute expression.
Since the incident with Violet being poisoned, everyone's attitude towards her had indeed changed a lot.
They no longer spoke harshly to her as they did before.
Violet took a bite of the small cake and said, "It's good, thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll get back to work now," her colleague said before returning to her own office. Violet put the cake aside and began organizing her design drafts.
Violet hadn't touched these drafts for about a week, and they were a bit messy.
As Violet organized the design drafts, Laura, a senior designer in her office, looked at the busy Violet through the blinds. Her narrow eyes flared with a fiery intensity.
Laura didn't believe for a second that Violet had been on a trip. When Violet suddenly left that day, she took a lot of things from her desk, and now she had brought them all back.
If it were just a trip, she wouldn't have packed so much, and the admin department hadn't received her leave request.
If Violet had asked Max for leave directly, that would be highly irregular.
However, this also showed that Max had a special way of accommodating Violet. In Laura 's mind, a designer who used her looks to charm her boss was really annoying.
Thinking about it made Laura feel sick. She gripped the blinds with her fingers, and in an instant, there was a crisp cracking sound as she broke one of the slats.
Laura wasn't going to let Violet have an easy time at JK, at least not until she brought down JK and moved to EU. She wouldn't let Violet have her day in the sun.
Jealous, Laura withdrew her gaze and walked to her desk, where there was an invitation for a design collaboration from Aiden's woman. Aiden had recently taken up with a young starlet.
This starlet liked to wear haute couture and didn't want to risk wearing the same dress as someone else at events.
So she had already collaborated with Laura twice, This time she wanted to collaborate again. But Laura planned to pass it on to Violet, knowing that Aiden, the perverted man, had always been eyeing Violet.
Laura figured she could do a favor and please Aiden at the same time. Thinking of this, Laura smiled maliciously and called another designer into her office; since Violet was very wary of her now.
If Laura handed the design draft to Violet herself, Violet might go crying to Max again, and then she wouldn't have to take it.
That would ruin Laura's plan.
So, Laura decided to have someone else give it to Violet.
Soon, designer Mia Martinez knocked and came in. Laura handed the design draft to Mia with a smile and said, "Mia, I'm really busy lately with too many designs on my plate. Could you please give this design draft to Violet Devereux? Oh, and don't mention it came from me; she has some issues with me."
Mia understood. She had heard that Violet suspected Laura in the poisoning incident but had no evidence.
She thought, 'So, their relationship is indeed strained, but without evidence, no one could say it was Laura.' Mia was very obedient to Laura, so she took the draft without hesitation and said, "Ms. Murphy, don't worry. I know what to do." She then went out to give it to Violet.
Laura sat back in her chair and called Aiden's young woman, Amelia Garcia, to explain the situation. She said she had let a very capable new designer in the company in charge of Amelia's dress.
Amelia was young, just in her early twenties, and easy to persuade. When she heard it was a talented new designer, the one who designed Loraine's wedding dress, she readily agreed.
