Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 137

Eloise pondered for a moment before cautiously speaking up, "Given the situation, I'd like each of the three new interns to come up with a design draft. We'll present them together to Bailey." "Sure thing," Sylvia and Christine chimed in unison.

Only Bridget confidently responded, "Ms. Eloise, there's no need for you to worry about us. I'll just schedule a meet with Bailey and take Sylvia and Christine along." Swamped with work, Eloise nodded in agreement.

With that, the meeting adjourned. Many envied Bridget as they gathered around her.

"Bridget, you're truly Rupert's ace, knowing everyone around."

"Not really," Bridget demurred, her gaze flitting to Sylvia with a hint of amusement.

Sylvia ignored her, grabbing her things and walking out with Christine.

"Imagine if you had such a strong network, Sylvia. You'd probably outshine her in design," Christine muttered.

"Let's drop it, Christine," Sylvia cut in, always finding Christine's remarks a bit off.

Back at her desk, Sylvia was brainstorming design ideas when a stack of documents landed on her table.

"Sylvia, could you make copies of these and distribute them?" someone requested.

"Sure."

Sylvia's train of thought was interrupted, and she stood up reluctantly.
