The hallway was alive with the sounds of a heated argument.

"Alex, you're just an intern. Me putting my name on your sketches is a favor, a nod of respect. Don't push your luck!"

Ava, the company's designer, was glaring at Alex, her eyes brimming with sarcasm.

Alex stood his ground, his expression steely. "You might be the company's designer, but I drew those designs. They have nothing to do with you. What gives you the right to claim my work as your own? My designs will bear my name only!"
