There was still one last week to go for the wedding.
During the week, Lyra was not idle. The Lloyd Group had just handed over to her, and there were still many projects that she needed to understand and perfect.
It was a good thing she had Malcolm to help her annotate the documents, and she processed her work much faster.
The two went to work together at the Lloyd Group, as if it was customary.
There was a laptop on the coffee table and Malcolm was working on a project of White Corp, and when he wasn't busy, he continued to annotate papers for her.
The two work with a unified pace and devoted their minds to it.
Knock-knock- In the afternoon, her assistant, Audrina, knocked on the door of the president's office in a hurry.
"Miss Lyra, a bad news!" When she pushed the door in, she saw Malcolm was there and suddenly looked embarrassed and stopped talking.
Lyra stopped typing and craned her head to look at her, "Say it. Malcolm is on his own business." With Lyra's words, Audrina could only report.
"Miss Lyra, we've been planning the CloudSail Project. The marketing plan is mature, and today the marketing department was about to try to put it when they found ..." Lyra furrowed her brows, "Found what?" Malcolm also stopped what he was doing and looked up at Audrina who was in the doorway.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAudrina was glancing at Malcolm, and her voice was getting quieter and quieter.
"White Corp's subsidiary releases a new project before us. The project's planning content is exactly the same as ours. Now because of this, the whole executives are furious. They suspect... suspect ..." Malcolm replied in a calm voice, "Suspecting me of stealing the Lloyd Group's new project proposal while | am taking care of Rara?" Audrina lowered her head and stopped talking.
Her silence meant acquiescence.
A brief silence fell over the office.
Lyra pondered the matter and did not speak for a long time.
Audrina added, "Miss Lyra, now all the major directors have spontaneously gone to the conference room, asking you to hold an impromptu meeting for this project for our group's loss. They want you to give everyone an account of it." The Lloyd Group's well-prepared project was plagiarized, and all the hard work and investment made by everyone before the project was wasted.
This was indeed a very tricky thing to do and should be properly dealt with.
She was clear-headed and replied calmly, "Got it. It's really time to give an account of this. I'll be over in half an hour." REST Once Audrina left, the office was once again quiet.
Malcolm looked at her distantly and saw her serious expression. She ignored him and his chest suddenly felt very stuffy.
"Rara ..." He turned pale and held back before asking, "Do you suspect me too?" Lyra didn't say anything because she didn't pay attention to it. She was concentrating on typing. No one knew what she was arranging.
Malcolm felt suffocated even more, and his eyes were red, "It's not me." He clenched his fists and forced himself to hold back the hard feelings.
Even if the whole Lloyd Group suspected him, it didn't matter. He just hoped Lyra believed him.
Lyra, who had just finished the task at hand, looked up at him.
Noticing that his eyes were downcast and looked lost, Lyra got up and walked over to him, caressing his tense face, "Silly, of course | know it wasn't you. | never suspect you at all." It was obvious that was a separation scheme.
If Malcolm really wanted to plagiarize the program, it was unlikely that the subsidiary of White Corp would have released the project.
The project of the subsidiary was relatively independent and did not need to report to the head office. They submitted marketing reports every month and annual summary forms every year.
The people behind the scene knew that Malcolm could not control the release of the project by the subsidiary, so they did it on purpose.
Malcolm was comforted by her words and took her hand in return, "I will look into this matter and give you an explanation.” Lyra nodded, "The project was released on the subsidiary of White Corp. You do need to check there, and as for the Lloyd Group's proposal, which flowed out from here, I'll check." The efficiency was doubled by doing both sides at the same time.
However, Malcolm was not assured, "You just promised to go to the meeting room in half an hour to give an account. But it is difficult to find out in half an hour.” Lyra smiled blandly, bent down and kissed him, "Don’t worry. | can handle it." Her starry eyes had a glow.
Malcolm caressed the back of her hand. He was content by her trust.
Half an hour later.
Lyra had just walked up to the entrance of the conference room when she heard all kinds of noises coming from inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe listened quietly for a moment and winked at Audrina.
With a creak sound, Audrina pushed open the heavy door of the conference room, and all the directors stood up to greet Lyra the moment they saw her entering silently.
She did not look away. She was elegant, calm and self-possessed towards the main seat of the conference room, and sat down with grace and composure.
Robert, who challenged her authority two days ago which resulted in disciplinary action, was exceptionally quiet today.
Lyra glanced at him. She was silent and waited for the directors to ask questions.
"Miss Lyra, you said you would give us an account in half an hour?" "Have you questioned your fiance about this leaked new project proposal?" "After all, the project happened to be plagiarized by White Corp. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? You should have taken precautions against Mr. Malcolm!" "Miss Lyra, this project is the perfect work of the staff in charge. It has taken nearly three months to come up with, and now it has been released by White Corp first.
Lyra smiled slightly, and her expression was still stoic, "First of all, | want to correct your wording. It's the subsidiary of White Corp, not White Corp itself!" Robert stood up and questioned, "Does it make a difference? The program always flows to the White Corp. And it is White Corp that makes the money in the end. How can you be sure that it is not Mr. Malcolm who deliberately allows the project to be taken to a subsidiary in order to get rid of his suspicion? " "You and Mr. Malcolm spend time together and go to work together. He may be taking advantage of your inattention and deliberately steal the program. After all, you can not get the evidence of his innocence." Lyra grunted, "Who says | don't have the evidence?" As soon as she entered, she heard them blaming Malcolm one after another, as if Malcolm was already the evil man in the impression of the Lloyd Group's executives.
The questioning voices of all the directors stopped and waited for Lyra to speak.
Lyra saw everyone's eyes and winked at Audrina.
Audrina immediately stepped forward and handed an evidence document to Lyra.
"In the subsidiary of White Corp, there is a regular employee named Rosie Bell. She was fired by her manager a month ago after making a mistake at the Lloyd Group. And she had been involved in the seminar of CloudSail Project during her tenure at the Lloyd Group. " After saying it, her eyes suddenly looked harsh, and she threw the document to the table.
Anger flowed throughout the meeting room that made people difficult to breathe.
She laughed sarcastically, "The matter has not been investigated clearly. And you have questioned the CEO's fiance. You really dislike me in the Lloyd Group. Then you can vote to screen me out!" mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
