Maisie directly exposed Laura without considering her feelings.
Laura’s and Bill's faces froze at the same time.
Their expressions seemed very unnatural.
Meanwhile, Mr.Lowe was very calm.
Moreover, there was also an elegant and warm smile on his face.
‘’Did you just say that this design was plagiarized? Do you have any proof?"
"Mr.Lowe is right."
Bill hurriedly interjected, turning his head to glare at Maisie with a dark expression on his face.
"Maisie, don’t slander others.Laura came up with this design with great effort.What evidence do you have to say that she plagiarized it? Besides, Ava has been busy dating for a while now.She hasn’t been able to concentrate on her work at all.In addition to that, her work level has plummeted recently and her designs are a mess.How could Laura have plagiarized her work?"
"I’m not slandering her, and I’m not talking nonsense."
Maisie's reaction was also very calm.
Then, she looked at Bill, who was hinting at her to shut up.
"Ava came up with this design first.She even showed it to you but you rejected it, Mr.Branson.After that, Ava felt that the design wasn’t perfect, so she deleted it.I was there when she deleted it so I’m the best witness."
Bill and Laura breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Maisie say that Ava had deleted her design.
"Maisie, you said that you’re a witness, but everyone knows that Ava is your friend.You guys are the closest to each other in the office, so you can't be a witness at all."
After Bill finished speaking, the other colleagues around them also chimed in.
"Yeah, Maisie.We all know that you’re the closest to Ava.How can we use what you say as evidence?"
"That's right.What Mr.Branson said is also true.Recently, Ava hasn’t been focusing on her work because she’s in a relationship.Let’s just talk about what happened this afternoon.She bought all of us coffee before we finished our work.I couldn’t even concentrate on my work anymore after that."
After hearing what the female colleague on the side said, Maisie suddenly flew into a fit of rage despite her initial calmness.
