Dawn nodded. “True, keeping a little mystery is actually nice.”
After finishing their meal, Ethan went to the kitchen to clean up.

Dawn sat on the couch, spreading out the design drafts Wendy had returned. She bit the end of her pen and sank into deep thought. <fnad7e> Latest content published on Find[?]ovel</fnad7e>
Before long, Ethan came out of the kitchen and immediately noticed her on the couch, head down, a stray lock of hair falling over her delicate brow. The soft, dim light made her face glow gently, giving her a dreamy, almost magical look.
He watched silently for a moment, then stepped closer.
“Running into a problem?”
Dawn lifted her head, taking the pen out of her mouth. “No… It’s just… weird.
“Wendy said she already showed the drafts to the boss, so why return them to me? Is my work really that bad?”
She couldn’t think of any other reason.
But looking at the designs now, she felt they were fine.
Ethan felt a small pang of guilt and raised an eyebrow. “Maybe she never actually showed them.”
“You think so?”
“Yup.”
To back it up, Ethan picked up the drafts, studying them carefully. “Your designs have a clear personal style. They’re totally different from the usual jewelry out there. No boss could reject them.”
Hearing himpliment her so clearly for the first time made Dawn a little shy. Still, a small smile tugged at her lips. “Well, of course.
“Then tomorrow I’ll show them to Linda. If there’s a problem, we’ll deal with it then.”
The next day at the office, Dawn went straight to Linda’s office and handed over the drafts.

Surprisingly, Linda really hadn’t seen them before. She praised the work for a while before letting Dawn leave.
Dawn couldn’t help but feel Linda might have been a little overexcited.
She walked out, exhaling and shaking her head.
<i>Maybe </i><i>she </i><i>really </i><i>does </i><i>have </i><i>a </i><i>good </i><i>eye </i><i>for </i><i>design </i><i>… </i><i>Linda </i><i>has </i><i>always </i><i>liked </i><i>my </i><i>work</i><i>, </i><i>after </i><i>all</i>.
Near the end of the day, Linda suddenly announced a change in personnel: Janice would now officially be the design team lead. Anyone with objections could bring them up privately.
In other words, Janice’s appointment was final–any objections didn’t matter.
Everyone looked shocked, including Janice herself.
“I–I don’t even know what’s happening,” she muttered.
Dawn reassured her, “It’s a good thing. It means both Ms. Greenwood and the boss recognize your talent. You’ve got this.”
Janice had been at thepany for three years, a veteran in the design department. She was more than capable–taking the lead was reasonable.
But the sudden responsibility left her momentarily unprepared.
With the quarterly designs still undecided, she had lots of work waiting.
Some coworkers murmuredints, but Linda’s stance was clear. No one dared openly challenge <i>it</i>–they could only whisper behind Janice’s back, conveniently within her hearing.
Dawn thought about speaking, but Janice stopped her.
“Let them talk. Even if we win the argument, it won’t shut them up.”
“But-”
“No buts.”
Janice didn’t care. “If you can’t handle a little gossip, how will you handle a mountain of work? As long as they don’t sabotage me, let them talk–they can’t beat results.”
Still, they had underestimated how bad the coworkers were.
That afternoon, at the design team meeting, only Dawn showed up.

She looked at the empty design table, then at Janice with her furrowed brow, and said hesitantly, “I’ll go call-”

“No need.” Janice took a deep breath and forced a small smile. “Even if you called them, they’d say they’re busy. It’s clearly prearranged.”
“Then what do we do?”
“Let them be busy. We’ll meet tomorrow morning.”
The next morning, no one came again. Janice stayed patient and rescheduled the meeting for the afternoon.
Meanwhile, the other design team members whispered endlessly,pletely confused about Janice’s n.
By afternoon, half the team finally showed up. Dawn realized Janice’s strategy was working. As the time came, Janice’s calm,manding voice filled the room.
“No more second chances. I’ve been patient, but some of you clearly don’t respect me at all.”
Janice casually pulled out her phone and posted a screenshot in the team chat.
“I’ve received Ms. Greenwood’s approval. Anyone who didn’t attend this afternoon’s meeting will be demoted to design assistant. If you disagree, you can resign immediately.”
The team exchanged shocked looks, a mix of disbelief and fear on their faces.
