The CEO Gets What He Wants

Chapter 314

At Trident Group the next day, Avery handed a newly printed design drawing to Yulissa. “Ms. Yantz, this is the design that you requested. I've sent the digital copy of the design to your email.”

Yulissa took it suspiciously. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the stunning sample design. With disbelief, she asked, “Did you draw this, Avery?”

Avery nodded in response, a calm expression on her beautiful face.

Yulissa perused the design several times.

The design in her hand was perfect and did not have any flaws. Admittedly, she knew that she would not be able to design a masterpiece like it. She had always been a confident person. Nevertheless, at that moment, she was unable to get inside the mind of the newly-hired Avery.

Did Avery really design this?

“Avery, you should know that there will be severe consequences if we find out that someone else designed it for you,” Yulissa warned sternly.

Avery remained calm and collected. “I stayed up late last night to draw this, Ms. Yantz, so I still remember every single detail of it. Do you want me to describe them to you?”

When Cecelia heard them arguing, she could not help but pick up the design drawing for a look.

Her jaw dropped after she looked at it. Moreover, she was so stunned that she was momentarily at a loss for words.

After flashing Avery a thumbs up, she said, “Well done, Avery! Your design is very brilliant. It has both the traditional and advanced elements in it. To be honest, I couldn't tell you had such talent just from looking at you. As it turns out, your designs are amazing!”

“Please don't say that, Cecelia. You're my senior. I still have a lot to learn from you,” Avery responded humbly.

Only then did Avery finally heave a sigh of relief.

After spending the whole of last night drawing it, I hope that the fastidious Old Mr. Lambert will accept my design.

With a darkened expression, Yulissa put the design drawing aside. She then said mockingly, “You better not think that your work is done just because you gave me a design. If the client is not satisfied with it... Hmph!”


Having said that, she strutted out of the office arrogantly.

Avery was not bothered by her strange tone. The former quietly sat at her desk and spoke to Cecelia in a whisper. “Is Nina okay, Cecelia?”

Nina had applied for leave after the incident.

However, Isabella continued to stop Avery from visiting her.

A week had passed, yet Avery still had not received any news about Nina. Therefore, it was no surprise that she was very anxious.

“She's fine. Nina said that she has been quite stressed these days. As she is also not feeling well, she took the opportunity to take a few extra days off. When she has recomposed herself, she will come back to the office,” Cecelia explained.

Upon hearing those words, Avery was slightly comforted. Regardless, there was still a pang of guilt in her heart.

If it were not for her, Nina would not have gotten involved in such a mess. I want to make it up to her, but I don't know if Nina will still want to be close to me after what happened.

While she was lost in thought, Yulissa returned to the design department.

She clapped her hands twice to gain everyone's attention. In a loud voice, she said, “Please stop everything that you're currently working on. All architects need to follow me to attend a meeting in Conference Room A606.”

At her order, the architects stood up and proceeded to the conference room.

Avery smiled bitterly.

She had been in Trident Group for some time. However, her position was still that of an assistant architect. In the company, assistants were not allowed to attend any meetings for the architects.

Therefore, she had to stay in the office like the rest of the newly recruited employees.

Avery was perusing a design profile at her desk when the phone connected to the internal line rang.

She picked it up and heard Cayden's commanding voice. “Come to A606.”

“Understood, Mr. Moore.” Then, she stood up and walked happily to the aforementioned conference room.

The conference room was already filled by outstanding architects from every department.

Trident Group was a multinational company, and the design department was comprised of many areas that had been divided clearly. It included architecture, jewelry design, fashion, landscaping, environment, industrial design, graphic design, interior design, and others.

The main lobby of Trident Group's building was designed lavishly. Paintings from several famous artists were hung on the walls along the way. Meanwhile, the huge conference room named Conference Room A606 was situated on the eighty-eighth floor.

All the men inside the conference room wore suits and looked zestful. On the other hand, the women wore elegant clothes and delicate makeup. At a glance, the typical confident and proud expression could be seen on their faces. After all, they were all the crème de la crème of the design industry.

It was no surprise that a novice like Avery was slightly intimidated when she walked past them.

Without looking at them, she approached Cayden, who was sitting at the head of the table. “What can I do for you, Mr. Moore?”

Not even bothering to lift his head, Cayden pointed at an empty seat and said plainly, “Sit down.”

“T-This is not appropriate,” she responded in a low voice.
