Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

The drawings were lost, replaced with blank sheets of paper? Patrick found it difficult to believe that Jane had made such a blunder, and he was eager to hear her explanation. However, Jane had no intention of offering an explanation.

With a straight face, she redirected the conversation, addressing Sherry, “Is there a backup of the drawings?”

Sherry, wearing a disdainful expression, responded condescendingly, “Are you unaware that all our jewelry design drawings are hand-made? Backups are out of the question. You should have the common sense to know that.”

Jane nodded in understanding and inquired calmly, “Then how long will it take to recreate the drawings?”

Sherry’s response was swift and unwavering. “At least two days.”

Monica, eyeing Jane with hostility, demanded, “What are you planning, Jane? Are you suggesting we postpone the meeting and make Mr. Longman, who has traveled so far, wait for two days to correct your mistake?”

Monica ridiculed Jane, but Jane, unfazed, asserted, “Just because it would take Sherry two days doesn’t mean it will take me the same. If she can’t do it, it doesn’t mean I can’t. It will only take me an hour.”

Monica, astounded, retorted with doubt, “An hour? That’s not feasible. Did you not hear Sherry say it would take at least two days?”

Jane’s calm demeanor, despite the serious situation, infuriated Monica, but Jane confidently stated, “She may need two days, but that doesn’t imply the same for me. I can accomplish it in one hour.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Jane’s declaration met with skepticism from those present. Patrick, wearing an incredulous expression, declared, “Stop jesting, Jane. It’s impossible.”

Monica chimed in, asserting that Jane’s claim was preposterous. “It’s simply not achievable.”

Undeterred, Jane challenged them: “Then allow me to demonstrate.”

With that, she sat down, switched on her laptop, and proceeded to open the drawing software she had created. Jane then projected her computer screen onto a larger monitor, confidently manipulating her mouse to craft the designs with skill and precision.

Silently, the conference room’s occupants observed as beautiful drawings emerged on the screen.

The room fell into a stunned silence as they witnessed Jane completing the work in a mere hour.

“It’s done,” Jane announced, concluding her work a full five minutes before the hour was up. With a sigh of relief, she added, “Perfectly executed.”

Patrick’s astonishment was evident. The three design drawings-the ring, necklace, and bracelet-appeared remarkably lifelike and flawless. Subtle yet essential changes that Jane had incorporated into the designs gave the jewelry an authentic character, making them even more appealing.

Even the chief designer of the jewelry design department was incapable of such alterations. Jane had accomplished what others deemed impossible.

Monica gawked at the drawings, rendered momentarily speechless. How had Jane produced them in under an hour? How could someone with a rural background create such intricate designs? With the successful completion of the designs, Jane had thwarted Monica’s plot once more. Though Monica felt a sense of defeat, she dared not reveal it. Instead, she bit her lip and cast a furtive glare at Jane.

Jane, still facing the stunned audience, cleared her throat. She directed her attention to Bruce and, with a warm smile, inquired, “I apologize, Mr. Longman, for the minor hiccup. However, I’ve managed to recreate the designs.”

Jane then turned to the projector, meticulously explaining the designs to Bruce. “This is our Ice and Fire series. White symbolizes ice, while red represents fire-the theme of this collection.”

Bruce nodded approvingly, offering Jane a thumbs up. “I really like your designs, particularly the concept of double spinning. It’s a brilliant idea.”

Jane had conceived the notion of double spinning herself. She had mentioned it to Sherry, who, in favor of her own designs, ignored Jane’s suggestion. Consequently, Jane had no intention of presenting Sherry’s designs to Bruce. She had foreseen Monica’s trap and willingly walked into it, allowing her to create her designs in front of everyone.

“Mr. Longman, do you have any modifications or suggestions?” Jane inquired politely, awaiting his feedback.

Bruce, however, shook his head. “Absolutely not. It’s perfect.”

“Satisfied with your approval, we will proceed to production and expedite the launch of the Ice and Fire series. I believe it will surpass our expectations,” Jane declared confidently.

Bruce concurred. “Absolutely. I look forward to collaborating with someone as talented as you in the future.”

With Bruce content with the designs and no further concerns, the meeting came to an end. Bruce departed promptly for the hotel to rest, accompanied by his assistant.

Observing his departure, both Monica and Sherry wore sullen expressions, visibly disappointed. Sherry, as the head of the design department, had worked diligently with her team to improve the drawings in recent days, yet they were outshone by an outsider.

Sherry felt humiliated, concerned about how she would prove her professional competence to the CEO in the future.

Monica had assumed that Jane would be dismissed by Patrick for her negligence. Instead, Jane resolved the situation and emerged as a star. Even Bruce had commended her. Thus, Monica and Sherry rose to leave, but Jane called out, “Wait!” in a loud voice.
