“Hello, Miss Quinn.My team and I have been to Klein Silk Fabric and looked into the matter.All the designers and other chief officers confirmed that the designs in question were made by Luna Mccoy the previous year.”

“What are you trying to say?” Natalie countered, her eyes burning with anger.

She simply couldn’t hold back anymore, “Klein Silk Fabric failed to get into the first walk because of me.Don’t you see? They’re doing this for revenge.They already framed me, so of course their employees would support their false accusations.”

The man stood up and raised his hands helplessly, looking nervous.

“Please calm down, Miss Quinn.You have no evidence that you didn’t plagiarize Miss Mccoy’s work.Until you prove your innocence, I’m afraid we will have to remove your designs from the selection.I apologize for that but we have to do this.Itis a necessary measure on our part.”

Natalie pulled back and said, “You’re my most valuable friend, Laney. Thank you for always helping me in any way you can.”

Laney’s smile dimmed.

The sincerity in Natalie’s eyes made her chest tighten in guilt.

Everything she had done, everything Natalie was grateful for, it was all because of Sebastian was paying her to be Natalie’s bodyguard.

However, Natalie had no idea and even regarded her as an important person in her life.

“Please don’t mention it,” Laney said, shaking her head and casting her eyes downward.

“I like helping other people.”

These minor injuries were nothing to her, really.She had survived worse battles when she was younger.

And if she were to be perfectly honest, she liked Natalie, too.

Natalie personified beauty and kindness.

Laney didn’t want to cause any unnecessary worry.

How would Natalie react if she somehow found out that Laney had been hired to approach her?

“I know, Laney” Natalie said with a small chuckle.
