Chapter 319 What Are You Doing, Mr. Crawford?


    The design meeting started.


    Luke was seated in the leading position. He wore a ck business suit and sat straight and tall, a


    formidable presence in the crowd.


    His gaze was profound, and his lips were tightly pressed together, which gave him a dependable and


    authoritative air. He made a brief speech, after which he listened attentively to the reports by the


    leaders of various departments.


    The main topic of the meeting was ’increasing design productivity.’


    The designers discussed thetest trends in design and exchanged their experiences. Everyone might


    be from a different department, but there were still some things that they could learn from each other.


    They shared design resources and had a lively discussion about the Finishing Touch Workshop and the


    Divine Inspiration Showcase, two world- renowned design studios.


    The two studios had only started a few years ago, but they had gathered a wealth of design talent and


    started several worldwide trends.


    T Corporation was a multinationalpany and hired the world''s best designers who walked at the


    forefront of design. Not only were they sensitive to new trends, but they were also willing to learn.

    The discussionsted for more than an hour.


    Next was the monthly work summary by each department.


    In this segment, each department lead would report on what they had done in the past month. They


    wouldmend certain designers that had done well, as well as give constructive criticism to anyone


    who needed to improve.


    Every designer who was praised this way smiled delightedly. After all, being praised in front of the CEO


    meant that there would be a pay raise, as well as a higher chance for promotion.


    Those who were criticized were dejected and fearful for their position in thepany. T Corporation


    paid their employees the highest in the industry, and they would not want to lose their jobs.


    When it was the architectural design department lead''s turn, she shot a nce at Bianca, then started


    her report. "In the past month, the architectural design department has twomendable employees.


    They are Tom Lewis and Sue Carter. Tom haspleted the most projects in the entire department


    and has brought sizable profits to thepany.


    Meanwhile, Sue''s work has been widely praised by our clients. On the other hand, I have to say


    something about thezier employees in the department..."


    The department lead''s prating nce shot toward Bianca.


    Bianca had a bad feeling when she saw the department lead''s sinister and calcting gaze.


    Indeed, the department lead''s ensuing speech made Bianca feel embarrassed. "Ms. Bianca Rayne, as


    a design assistant, you should have worked harder so that you can formally be a designer, instead of


    cking off like what you''re doing now. You''ve been in thepany for a few months. Not only you


    don''t have manypleted designs, but you are also frequently absent from work. Don''t you know that


    you should have been more diligent? You should know that ourpany might have abundant


    financial resources, but we''re not a charity foundation, and we have no ce for idle people in our


    ranks..."


    The department lead''s speech generated an uproar.


    All the designers looked at where the department was looking, and their gazes fell on Bianca.


    They started to whisper among each other, ignoring Luke''s gloomy gaze.


    Thepany rules were clear. Only formal designers could attend the design meetings in Room A606.


    Why would the woman be there if she was only a design assistant?


    It could not have been an ident. She would not have found the ce if no one had informed her


    about the meeting.


    Did it mean that the boss was ying favorites with that woman?


    The boss was never seen to be with a woman, and he never had any scandals except for that article


    from JK Media. Was the unremarkable design assistant the woman in the article?


    All sorts of wild theories and dubious gazes turned toward Bianca...


    They could see that Bianca was young and beautiful. She had snow-white skin and a pair of clear and


    animated eyes. However, she seemed to be embarrassed by the department lead''s public criticism.


    Bianca was restless on her chair. She tried to hide away from those usatory gazes.


    The department lead felt pleased with herself.


    ''That Bianca is sleeping with the boss, right? I''d like to see if Mr. Crawford would harbor her in public.''


    She dared to criticize Bianca publicly because she was telling the truth. She also knew that Luke had


    been impartial, and was confident that he would not speak up for her because their rtionship was


    illicit.


    Luke twiddled the fountain pen in his hand. His eyes shed with a shocking coldness that could chill


    one to the bone.


    The department lead saw that and quickly averted his gaze.


    ''How shocking!


    ''I have criticized Bianca in public. Would he do anything to me?''


    The department lead suddenly felt unconfident about what she had done. However, she believed that


    Luke would not openly harbor Bianca under everyone''s eye. She would like to see how Bianca would


    extricate herself from this mess!


    Of course, she had underestimated how protective Luke could be.


    The man''s gaze was unbelievably profound, as though it stretched toward the farthest reaches of the


    universe.


    He shot a nce at Bianca, who was tucking her head in.


    That woman was indeed talented, but she did not have the maturity to survive in the workce.
