Chapter 72 Freya Was in Trouble
"I'll ask Yolanda to go with you." Austin was worried that she would get lost.
"Mmm! Okay!" Natalie did not refuse because she was not yet familiar with this city.
When Freya came to the office, there was a meeting. At the meeting, the boss of the company attached great importance to Amber's order and asked Freya to follow this up and take the customer seriously.
Freya nodded helplessly. Amber was renowned among those rich ladies in Alogan. The boss meant that if Freya served Amber well, the company would have more opportunities to cooperate with those rich ladies.
Freya returned to the office. At this moment, Linda walked over with a grim expression and said to her, "Freya, come to my office."
In Linda's office.
She clicked on an email and said to Freya, "Is this your design draft? Why did it appear on FEEL Jewelry's design exhibition?"
Freya gazed upon this with great staring eyes. "This is mine. But there are a few minor changes."
"I just handed this design draft to a client for selection. If she chooses it and finds that this design draft is the same as that of FEEL Jewelry, what do you think it will do to our company?"
"This... FEEL Jewelry copied my design draft," Freya said angrily. It was her original work. Plagiarism in this industry happened frequently.
"You said FEEL Jewelry stole your design draft. Think about it. What went wrong? Why did your design draft end up in other people's hands?" Linda looked at her.
Freya took a deep breath and tried to remember. "I might have thrown the revoked design draft in the trash can, and someone picked it up!"
"It was too sloppy." Linda sighed, "The problem is that I gave your design draft to an important guest. FEEL Jewelry has openly released this work. If she chooses it, people will think we stole FEEL Jewelry's design."
It gave Freya a headache. "How about I talk to the designer of FEEL Jewelry to see if she can withdraw this."
"FEEL Jewelry has more connections than us, and we've just established our foothold in this city. It may be difficult to file a lawsuit with them.
"But it's true that they have plagiarized our work. Are we going to put up with it? I must go to her." Freya's eyes flickered with anger. This was her original work.
"We should probably wait! Let's see if this one will be selected." After Linda finished speaking, the phone in her office rang, and she answered, "Hello, hello."
"Is it Ms. Owen? Hello, I wonder if you are satisfied with our design draft." NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"I am very satisfied with the number 36, which is innovative and stately."
Linda froze and then chuckled, "Are you satisfied with anything else besides this one?"
"I want this. I'm abroad now, and I'll contact you in a week. I want to give it to my mother as a birthday present."
"Okay! Okay!"
"I like the fact that you have a design philosophy that says every single piece of design manuscript is unique. That makes a lot more sense."
Linda was about to cry but replied with a smile, "Yes, that's what our company was founded for. It is our mission to provide unique designs for our guests."
"Okay, I'll call you in a week." The guest hung up the phone.
Looking at Linda's expression, Freya knew that the guest probably chose her design draft!
Linda looked up at Freya. "She wants your design draft. She is going to give it to her mother as a birthday present. You know how serious this matter is! If it is not handled properly, it will destroy the reputation of our company. It will be difficult for our company to survive here."
Freya's face turned pale. This meant that the matter must be dealt with.
Otherwise, she would get the entire company into trouble and damage its reputation.
Linda was also like a mudbug in a boiling pot. Suddenly, she looked up at Freya. "Freya, there's someone who can help you. Do you want to turn to him?"
Freya asked curiously, "Who?"
"Your son's father, Austin. He is very powerful. He will definitely let FEEL Jewelry apologize to you for this."
Freya was lost for words. Linda actually asked her to turn to Austin. No, she didn't even think about it. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to bother him for now."
Linda did not want to put Freya on the spot. After all, Austin would most likely take Freya's son away from her. If Freya asked Austin to help her with this, Freya would be in an awkward predicament.
"Alright, I'm going to pull out the company's surveillance and check it out. I want to find the person who stole the design as soon as possible and figure this out step by step."
"Okay!"
"You go back to the office. Just keep things quiet. I'll check it out secretly."
Freya walked out of Linda's office. Although Freya was furious, she could not show it. When she returned to the office and closed the door, Freya was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She tried to review her memories. She remembered that she printed a few pieces of design drafts and then make changes to them. But she couldn't remember clearly how she dealt with these drafts because she had recently been distracted by Austin's sudden appearance.
Linda called Freya to come to the office at four o'clock. She finally got a clue. One night a few days ago, an employee came into her office, went through the drafts she had thrown in the trash, and took them away.
But this employee departed her job three days ago, and they were unable to reach her now.
"It seems that she wanted to steal some drafts and sell them before departing her job. But it turned out that it was bought by Jessica, the chief designer of FEEL Jewelry. And Jessica was so bold that she showed it to the customers."
"Is it possible to prove that Jessica plagiarized my work with this video?"
"The evidence is insufficient. We can only prove that this employee stole your design, but we have no proof to confirm that it was Jessica who bought it. If Jessica deflects the blame and said this is
her original design, we can't refute her."
Freya was so angry that she clenched her fist. She just couldn't let it go that her work was proudly displayed by Jessica. "I'm going to confront Jessica about this and ask her to take down the design."
"No, you are the designer of our company. This matter represents the company's reputation, not yours. Don't be impulsive. What if she bites you in the ass? Jessica is known for playing hardball in the industry. You cannot handle her."
"But it's only a week away. What if Ms. Owen sees their display chart?"
"We just have to pray she doesn't see it until we can deal with it. All right, you call it a day! I'll talk to the general manager and see what they're going to do about it."
Freya heaved a sigh of relief, looked down, and found out it was already 4:30. She had to pick up her son from school.
