I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 187

"That design. I specifically said yesterday that the curve of the flagship ring's band is too generic. It lacks any defining characteristics. I expected at least some revisions today, but you're still presenting this?"

His voice wasn't rushed or angry, but it made everyone in the room hold their breath. A heavy silence descended.

The executives finally realized that Jorrod hadn't just been sitting in the corner doing his own work—he had been actively listening and dissecting every word.

Sienna glanced at the screen, her eyes landing on the specific design he was tearing apart.

She furrowed her brows.

Picking up right where Jorrod left off, she answered him. "Mr. Vaughn, misreading the data was entirely my fault, and I apologize for that."

"But regarding the design issue you brought up, I have a few things to say."

Jorrod didn't interrupt, so Sienna continued.

"The generic curve you mentioned isn't a lazy design choice. It's an intentional feature."

Director Yates from The Design Department looked up at her in surprise.

"This quarter, the company is focusing on the accessible luxury line. The target demographic is professional women aged 26 to 35."

Sienna clicked to the next slide, displaying the user profile data.

"These women work during the day and go on dates at night. What they want from a design is long-lasting comfort for all-day wear."

Sienna paused, recalling what Nate had told her. "What you call generic is the result of The Design Department finalizing dozens of drafts. This exact version allows the wearer to type, use their phone, and wear the ring for hours without feeling any discomfort."

"Of course, everyone has different priorities. You're right that the design is simple, and you have your own metrics for success." Sienna looked directly at Jorrod.

Meeting his cold gaze, she said slowly, "But as for demanding immediate revisions just because you asked for them yesterday..."

"Designers are human beings, not machines. If you want that kind of mechanical efficiency, I highly suggest you hire a fleet of androids."

Sienna finished speaking.

The entire conference room was dead silent.

Jorrod didn't react the way someone who had just been publicly scolded would. He just looked at her, his eyes unreadable and silent.
