Chapter 391 Accuse Her of Plagiarizing
Felicia had just come out of the washroom when she heard the noise. At that, she asked with a frown, “Who are you guys?”
“I’m George Walden, the director of Savill Jewelry Atelier. We suspect your employee has stolen one of our designer’s work, and we have the right to pursue legal liability,” the guy said confidently as though it did happen, and it was even dire.
No doubt they were merely causing a ruckus since something like this was normal between rival companies. At that, Felicia sneered and asked, “Where’s your proof? Don’t slander our employees for no reason, or we’ll sue you for defamation.”
“We definitely have proof, or why do you think we’d dare come to you? You have a designer named Anastasia Tillman, working under your company, don’t you? She has submitted a sketch for next year’s spring jewelry show, hasn’t she? In reality, she stole my employee’s masterpiece and claimed it as her own. We have the right to pursue her legal liability, so if you’ll please have her come out.”
Felicia couldn’t help feeling shocked at that. Who knew that Anastasia would be caught up in a plagiarism scandal? How could this be, though?
“She’s on leave right now. I can deal with this.”
“Oh, we’re not just holding her accountable. We’re also suing Bourgeois for mismanagement,” George announced arrogantly.
Clearly, they weren’t going to quit until they heard the end of it.
“Alright, I’ll contact my designer and have her come forward to clarify the incident.” With that, Felicia went into her office and called Anastasia.
Anastasia happened to be at Tillman Constructions right then. The reports she was reading were giving her a headache, and she eased immediately upon hearing the ringtone. “Hey, Felicia.”
“A director of another jewelry atelier has come to us saying that you allegedly plagiarized their employee’s work, Anastasia. Are you free to come and deal with this?”
“What? Plagiarize? Me?” The news baffled Anastasia as there was no way she would ever do something like that!
“Yeah, they’re even claiming that the piece you stole is the one you submitted to the jewelry show.”
“Impossible! That’s my own design and my own inspiration.” Anastasia retorted.
“I believe you too. However, those guys won’t leave until you come and verify it yourself. Can you rush over?”
