Chapter 76:
She had already figured that Nina would set a trap for her in the meeting, so she played along and walked into the trap so she could draw her own designs in front of everyone, which she did and ended up surprising her audience.
“Mr. McCoy, is there any problem? Is there anything you think should be modified?” Annabel asked with a polite smile.
Brett shook his head. “No, no. Not at all. It’s perfect p>
“Since you’re satisfied with it, we will put it into production and launch the Ice and Fire series as soon as possible. I believe this series will achieve more than the expected results,” Annabel said in a confident tone.
“Of course. And I’m looking forward to working with such an excellent person like you again in the future p>
Since Brett was satisfied with the designs and had no complaints whatsoever, there was nothing else to be said or done. Hence, the meeting ended. Brett was intent on going to the hotel to have some rest, so he left immediately with his assistant.
Watching him leave, both Nina and Bernice looked sullen and disappointed.
As the director of the design department, Bernice had led her subordinates to perfect the revised drawings over the past few days, but they still turned out to be not as good as those drawn by an outsider. She felt so humiliated. How could she convince the CEO of her professionalism in the future?
Nina, who had undertaken the task of stealing the drawings, thought that Annabel would be dismissed by Rupert for dereliction of duty. But Annabel not only solved the issue, she also ended up making herself stand out. Even Brett praised her.
Eventually, Nina and Bernice both stood up to leave, but Annabel called after them in a loud voice, “Wait p>
“What’s the matter?” Nina and Bernice turned around to look askance at Annabel. They were trying their best to avoid showing their dissatisfaction with her.
“Let’s talk about this now,” Annabel said, waving the blank sheets she had found in her folder.
Seeing the sheets in Annabel’s hand, Nina felt guilty. “What do you mean p>
With the sheets in her hand, Annabel walked up to Rupert and handed them to him. “The drawings I kept in the folder turned into blank sheets. Mr. Benton, don’t you think there’s something strange going on p>

Rupert took the blank sheets and put them on the conference table. His slender fingers tapped the table impatiently as he stared at them. Obviously, someone had stolen the drawings and replaced them with these sheets.
There were not many people who had access to the drawings, and Annabel had always been cautious in her work, so he knew she would not let such important documents be handled by just anyone.
There were only two possibilities.
One was that someone had replaced the drawings and set Annabel up to make her look like a fool during the meeting.
If this was the case, Rupert would not let this person go scot-free.
Another possibility was that Annabel had switched the drawings herself, but why would she do that?
Clearly, the case was beginning to get more and more interesting.
Finally, Rupert said, “I’ll ask Finley to find out the truth p>
“Yes, sir,” Finley said respectfully.
Annabel explained, “Before I went to the airport, I checked the file. The drawings were there, intact. After I returned from the airport, I brought the file to the conference room. But like we all saw, the drawings had turned into blank sheets of paper. That means someone must have replaced them while I was at the airport p>
