Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3016
"Nothing," Emily said with a fleeting smile. She shoved a stack of documents into her bag. "I've got site visits. I'll see you later."
Watching her walk away, Edwina frowned, chewing over her cryptic words.
Adelaide's assistant suddenly appeared. "Edwina? The director wants to see you."
"Oh, right! Be right there," she stammered, shaking herself out of her daze and hurrying toward the corner office.
As she stepped inside, Adelaide looked up, her face breaking into a warm, inviting smile. "Edwina! Take a seat."
She sat down nervously. "You wanted to see me?"
Setting her pen aside, Adelaide asked brightly, "How are the Sterling drafts coming along? We're presenting to Mr. Greco in two days."
Edwina shifted uncomfortably. "I'm... struggling to find an angle."
Adelaide's smile cooled slightly. "Didn't I give you a reference file? You can't even pull something together with a template in front of you?"
"It's not that," Edwina mumbled, her eyes darting away. "I just... I really don't want to use Emily's work."
"I didn't tell you to copy it line for line. You're a professional; you know how to adapt it."
"Even so, if she recognizes it, everyone will know I plagiarized."
Leaning back in her plush leather chair, Adelaide looked at her with a calculating gleam. "You don't trust me to handle it?"
Edwina stared at her in shock.
Adelaide's sharp features made her look remarkably severe when she dropped the friendly facade. Her tone turned dead serious. "Let me be brutally honest with you. Padgett despises me. He opposes me at every executive meeting. Emily is his golden girl. Do you really think she's ever going to fall in line with me?
"Next month is the mid-year review, and there is only one promotion slot for Senior Designer. I want it to be you. But looking at the sheer numbers, her performance metrics blow yours out of the water. If you don't take this opportunity to leapfrog her, she's going to steal that promotion right out from under you.

The readers' comments on the novel: Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
Then Melanie and Noreen will both understand that Emily is his wife, who he chooses and cares to be with. We’ve already had so much drama when Emily took off for three years hiding her pregnancy from Charlie. Emily has already confessed that the only man she loves is Kya father, which Charlie is. Now he needs to boldly claim the only woman he loves is Emily…I just had to add my two cents (he he he)....
Now Charlie needs to take Emily to the marriage office like Gabriel did with Sylvia . Reassure her that he will not take for granted. Thank you for the updates. I’m loving it....
