"Mr. Salter?"
At the mention of the last name, Brittany's heart pounded wildly. The head of Grandeur Capital shared the same surname with Zakky?
After making the announcement, William returned to his office and the rest of the office started murmuring.
"I heard this Mr. Salter is a real tough guy. Even his own uncle doesn't get any slack from him. He made some swift decisions and in just a few months, he's already the big boss!"
When Sydney heard this, she crossed her arms and said, "Of course, my cousin is not comparable to ordinary people!"
"What?"
"Sydney, Mr. Salter is your cousin?"
The office was in uproar. Everyone turned to look at Sydney, as if they'd just heard some juicy gossip!
Sydney was pleased with everyone's reaction and hooked one corner of her red lips up, "Yes, we're family."
This was only half true. Sydney's aunt married into the Salter family's side branch and was particularly close to the old lady of the Salter family. So, calling him cousin wasn't entirely inappropriate.
Everyone started bombarding Sydney with questions about Isaac.
Sydney was always wary of this cousin of hers and didn't dare to reveal too much. She just mentioned some common facts and won over a crowd of flatterers.
Brittany listened in. He was very handsome but had a bad temper and didn't really like interacting with strangers. He studied abroad and got dual master's degrees from prestigious universities.
Hearing this, Brittany knew that this person could not possibly be Isaac.
Zakky himself said that he only graduated from college and was unemployed when they first met. If he had an overseas studying background, he wouldn't have had such a hard time finding a job!
Sydney thought Brittany would flatter her but to her surprise, Brittany just packed up her things and slowly left.
"Is Brittany still not giving up on Mr. Tueley's project?"
"Who does she think she is?"
"I heard the plagiarism scandal was a big deal back then. How does Brittany still have the nerve to stay in this industry?"
Sydney stepped out of the office and called Patrina, "Patty, have you handled things with Mr. Tueley?"
"Don't worry, my dad has already made a call. Unless Mr. Tueley wants to offend the Dustin family, he won't be using Brittany's design."
Thinking of this, a mocking smile flashed across Patrina's eyes, "By the way, I heard there were some changes at Grandeur Capital, it didn't affect you, did it?"
Patrina and Sydney have a close relationship, not just because of friendship, but also interests!
"My cousin has taken the position of leader, what influence do I have?" Sydney chuckled, "I'll introduce you two someday."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Patrina handed her design to Robert, "Dad, check out my design."
Since Brittany's design was taken away, she had to do it herself.
Robert glanced at the design, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Compared to Brittany's brilliance, Patrina's design was mediocre, even a little shabby! Robert, always doting on his daughter, hesitated, "I remember the design director gave me a nice design before, let's use that one."
Although he tried to phrase it gently, the intended message was clear: your design, it's no good!
That design was actually Brittany's. Patrina clenched her fists tightly, but didn't show it. She bit her lip and said with a little force, "I got it."
Back in her office, Patrina threw the files onto her desk. Was her design really that bad?
The secretary outside her office quietly shook her head. Just because Brittany was gone, did she really think she could dominate the design department? How naive!
...
Brittany waited outside the Tueley Corporation building until it got dark.
Wesley appeared, and Brittany quickly approached him, "Mr. Tueley, can we talk?"
"Brittany?" Wesley recognized her, "You still want me to use your design?"
Brittany had been waiting for a long time, her face slightly pale, "Yes, Mr. Tueley, I know the Dustin family is putting pressure on you, but I hope you can give me a chance."
She had to have some achievements to defeat the Dustin family. Otherwise, it was all just a pipe dream!
