Chapter 22 Stealing Someone Else’s Design
Lyla pounded on the table furiously. Just then, two more people came in from outside. They were designers at her fashion studio and they were all in the same situation.
“Miss Lyla, our sketches are gone too.” “Yeah, so is mine.” That was when Lyla realized the severity of the situation. “Get a technician to come have a look right now.”
From outside, a man replied, “The technician was just with me earlier. He said either someone erased it or we were hacked.” She was stunned. “Hacked?”
What hacker would want to attack my small studio? “Is there no way to recover it?” she asked desperately.
“Unfortunately, there isn’t. The technician said it was a skilled hacker. He can’t seem to find a trace.”
Lyla flopped in her chair with a ghastly look on her face.
Sarah consoled, “Don’t panic, Miss Lyla. Do you guys have any hand-drawn sketches? If you polish it up a bit, you can probably still make it in time for the registration.”
Lyla glared at Sarah. “Are you a fool? The contest wants us to submit a digital copy of our designs!” Sarah fell silent. She only wanted to comfort Lyla. Lyla brushed them off, “Okay, just get out. All of you.”
They started to shuffle out of the room.
Lyla sat in her chair completely dumbfounded. Who would hack her tiny studio? She got up and closed the door to her office then made a phone call. “Ben, can you come over right now?” A man gushed from the other end of the phone, “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” “Someone hacked my computer and all my designs are gone,” she said anxiously. “Don’t fret, sweetheart. I’m out of town right now. Can I go tomorrow? I’ll take a look at it for you tomorrow.” She frowned. “Can’t you come back now?” “Sweetheart, I’m in Mastar. I can make it back tomorrow at the earliest. Don’t worry. When have I ever pushed off your things?”
She murmured, “When is your flight? I’ll go and pick you up.”
