Chapter 214 I Didn’t Plagiarize It

The smile Elise gave Alexander was so sincere that it was practically infectious, and he voluntarily reached out to grasp her hand. “Come on, let’s go home.”

Shoulder to shoulder, they walked off into the moonlit night.

After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “Have you finished the draft for your design? May I see it?”

Even though Elise found it to be a strange request, she carelessly flipped through her papers to locate her design draft and hand it over to him. “It’s mostly done. If you need it urgently, I can finish it by today.”

Yet, Brendan’s expression turned ugly the moment he saw her design draft.

“What’s going on?” she queried. In the next second, he lifted his gaze and stared right into her eyes.
