    Hayley''s POV:


    "Hayley, Thuner called out to me.


    I nced up and stretched, feeling a bit still. "I''ve sketched a rough outline. Want to check it out?"

    He looked surprised. "I only asked you to help with some adjustments. I didn''t expect you''d create a design. from scratch."


    He examined the drawing, and his disbelief was eviden "Is this your design?"


    "Even though this is a rough draft, it''s clear your design skills are on par with a professional''s. Have you worked as a designer before?"


    I casually exined, "I used to draw for fun. Do you think it''s okay?"


    Tanner pursed his lips thoughtfully. "It''s pretty good overall. But I''ll reserve


    judgment until I see thepleted version. Let me know when it''s finished, and I''ll take another look."


    I nodded. "Sure.


    "It''s gettingte. Let me take you out for dinner, he suggested.


    My stomach growled in agreement, so I didn''t hesitate, "Alright, let me gather these sketches first."


    After tidying up, I followed Tanner out the door.


    Madeline''s POV:


    Once I confirmed Hayley had left, I slipped into the room unnoticed.


    Spotting her design sketches, I quickly snapped a photo with my phone without hesitation.


    After I did that, a sense of relief washed over me.


    Hayley was so bold to aspire to be a designer with her current appearance.


    I''d make sure she became notorious in this field, forcing her out for good.


    After ensuring the room was empty, I turned to leave.


    However, just as I reached the door, I came face-to-face with an employee named Teri.


    I took a calming breath, masking my nervousness.


    She frowned and asked suspiciously, "Ms. Kilmer, didn''t you already leave earlier?"


    Noticing the doubt in her expression, I swiftly pulled out a stack of cash from my bag and handed it to her.


    "I forgot something and came back to grab it. I''d apprenate it if you kept this to yourself," I said.

    Teri eyed the money, which was easily worth two months of her pay, but didn''t immediately agree.


    It was clear that this greedy woman thought it wasn''t enough.


    Reluctantly, I pulled out another stack. "Take this, too, and keep quiet about today."


    This time, she epted the bribe with a nod. "Don''t worry, Ms. Kilmer. Your secret is safe with me."


    Feeling reassured. I quickly exited the room.


    Hayley''s POV:


    When I returned to the design room, an unsettling feeling crept over me. Something felt off, as though my sketches had been tampered with.


    I noticed Teri nearby and decided to ask, "Teri, did anyonee in here while I was out?


    She seemed startled by the question but quickly shook her head. "No, I was the only one here during lunch. Nobody else came in."


    Her response didn''t entirely convince me, but I chose to let it go, thinking I might be overanalyzing.


    "Okay, you can get back to work," I said dismissively.


    Once she left, I immersed myself in my designs,pletely losing track of time.


    It wasn''t until Hera stirred with excitement that I realized Benjamin must be close.


    Momentster, a knock on the door confirmed my suspicion.


    Smiling to myself, I didn''t bother to look up. "Come in I called out.


    Benjamin entered, walking over to me.


    I''m feeling a bit thirsty," I said casually. "Could you grab me a ss of water?"


    Without hesitation, he headed to the tea room and returned with a ss, cing it in front of me. "Here you go."


    "Thanks," I said with a nod. Then, looking up, I asked, "So, what brings you here?"
