My explanation seemed so useless.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I felt the change in their expression. They were teasing and disdainful.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They all seemed to have identified that I plagiarized.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Though President Davies didn&#8217;t laugh, her mouth was wide open.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Finally, I finished.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I said, &#8220;these are all my design ideas. Thank you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   President Davies stood up and looked at the people around her. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s clear who owns this work.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When she finished, everyone began to whisper.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Selena laughed smugly, but she said, &#8220;boss, don&#8217;t do this. After all, June worked so hard to make up a design idea.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When she finished, everyone around was whispering.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;How could such a good work be hers? She is shameless.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I thought she just plagiarized. Now she actually copied Selena&#8217;s model directly. She added something to the model and said it was hers.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I think such a person should be dismissed.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although their voices were not loud, the meeting room was so small that I heard them.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Lucius was angry. &#8220;What&#8217;s the matter with you? Now you still say this work is yours? I shouldn&#8217;t have come with you!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When he finished, he got up and wanted to leave.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I stood up and said to Selena, &#8220;this work is mine. I don&#8217;t know how you copied it, but it&#8217;s mine. It can&#8217;t be fake!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Ha ha!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as I finished, Selena laughed directly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She was already fat. The flesh on her body and face was shaking when she laughed.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   President Davies and others were laughing.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Lucius was leaving. When he heard everyone laughing, he shouted to me, &#8220;enough! Don&#8217;t you feel ashamed? Come with me!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No.&#8221; I was stubborn at the time. I stood there and repeated, &#8220;it&#8217;s mine. I&#8217;m not ashamed!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At that time, everyone laughed even more.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I clenched my fist and my fingernails pinched the palm of my hand. I straightened my back and didn&#8217;t let myself back up.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t want to be wronged!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Luke, the result is clear. We have to leave first.&#8221; President Davies told Luke, &#8220;Selena has a lot of work to do. Customers are waiting for her.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke looked at me and then at Selena and said coldly, &#8220;President Jessop said he&#8217;s coming later.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   President Davies and Selena sat down directly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   My colleagues dare not laugh exaggeratively.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Lucius took a look at me and whispered, &#8220;you plagiarized. Will President Jessop help you?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I didn&#8217;t&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In fact, my mood was a little complicated at this time. I hadn&#8217;t seen Sean for a long time after that day.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Now I didn&#8217;t know what he would think.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   About half an hour later, Sean came.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When he came in, all the leaders, especially President Davies, greeted him at the front.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean asked about the general situation.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They thought I plagiarized, so they scolded me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They kept scolding me with the most vicious words.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean was listening. Although he didn&#8217;t look at me, he frowned and his face was cold. There was deep displeasure in his black eyes.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   These bosses were smart. They saw Sean in a bad mood so they didn&#8217;t dare to go on.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean finally looked at me and said, &#8220;tell me.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;This work is mine.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He knew about it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I lived with him and he watched me do it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But I didn&#8217;t want him to tell the truth at this time.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   If he did, I might not survive in the company.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You still say it&#8217;s yours? You&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Shut up!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Selena just wanted to mock me, and Sean stopped her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He was very domineering.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Selena shivered and shrank into the chair.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean looked at me and he had doubts in his eyes. He seemed to be asking me what I wanted him to do.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When the scene froze, President Davies suddenly stood up, &#8220;President Jessop, I have something to say.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Say it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean glanced at her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I heard that you and June have a different relationship. But this time she plagiarized the works of my subordinate, so I must insist. If you want to protect her, we will resign to prove our innocence.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   President Davies spoke in a strong voice. She clearly wanted to stick to it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as she said it, the faces of the people around her changed.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Everyone looked at me with incredible eyes.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Fiona, don&#8217;t talk nonsense!&#8221; Luke finally spoke.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   For the first time, I knew the name of President Davies was Fiona.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Nonsense? You&#8217;re assistant to President Jessop. You must know about it.&#8221; Fiona retorted directly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean didn&#8217;t speak. In fact, the truth was clear.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean looked at her and went to the center of the room. He said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know much about design, but I know this work is designed by her, because we lived together every day for that time.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   These words were like deep-water bombs thrown into the water!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Everyone looked at me.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked at Selena. There was sweat on her face. She didn&#8217;t seem to expect Sean to testify for me!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I stood there and didn&#8217;t know what to say for a while, Fiona said, &#8220;President Jessop, you are the boss of the company, but you lie for a woman.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selena began to talk about her design ideas.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although it was different from mine, she spoke fluently.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She could even explain the details of my casual design.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although I hadn&#8217;t spoken yet, I felt that I had lost.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After all, a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1222"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1222\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
