Chapter 74:
But only one person wasn’t shocked. It was Nina. And she was the first to ask, “Annabel, what are you doing p>
Being the project director, Annabel had personally checked all the materials before bringing them to the conference room.
Now, the drawings were gone, and they had been replaced with several sheets of blank paper. It was obvious that Annabel would have to take all the responsibility.
Rupert would never forgive such a low-level mistake in an important meeting.
It was expected that he would fire Annabel.
Nina stole a glance at Rupert to see how he felt.
Just as she expected, his handsome face was dark, and his tightly pursed lips indicated his extreme displeasure.
A hint of happiness flashed through Nina’s eyes. But maintaining a blank face, she started to scold Annabel in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear. “As the project director, how can you possibly lose the drawings? How dare you use some sheets of blank paper to fool us? We cannot allow an irresponsible person like you to continue working here p>
Rupert’s face darkened even more. He looked at Annabel and asked, “What’s wrong p>
The drawings were lost? And they had been replaced with some blank sheets of paper?
Rupert didn’t think that Annabel was capable of making such a stupid mistake, so he was eager to hear her explanation.
But Annabel didn’t intend to give any explanation. Instead, she said with a straight face, “Let’s not discuss this problem right now p>
Turning to Bernice, Annabel asked, “Is there a backup of the drawings p>
With a disdainful look, Bernice replied, “Don’t you know that all our jewelry design drawings are hand-made? How could they have backups? Don’t you have the common sense to figure this out p>
Annabel nodded in understanding and asked calmly, “Then how long will it take to redo the drawings p>
“At least two days,” Bernice answered unhesitatingly.
“What do you mean by that, Annabel?” Nina demanded, glaring at her. “Are you thinking of postponing the meeting? And then wait two days for the design department to redo the drawings? You want Mr. McCoy, who came from afar, to wait for two days just so you can make up for your stupid mistake p>
Your adventure awaits at gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․c〇m
“Who said it would take two days? Just give me an hour,” Annabel said calmly.
“An hour? How can that be possible? Didn’t you hear Bernice say it would take at least two days?” Nina asked in a haughty tone. The calm and unhurried expression on Annabel’s face really disgusted and irritated her.
Annabel was in serious trouble, yet she was still so calm.
Nina just couldn’t stand that confident look on her face.
“She needs two days, but it doesn’t mean that I need two days too. If she can’t do it, that doesn’t mean I can’t,” Annabel pointed out confidently. “It will only take me an hour p>
After a brief pause, Annabel turned to Brett and asked, “Mr. McCoy, would you please give us an hour p>
“No problem at all,” Brett agreed without any hesitation. He was also curious to see what Annabel would do.
Even Rupert was curious too.
He glanced at Annabel and asked coldly, “So, what do you mean p>
“Of course, I’ll have to draw new designs,” Annabel said with a smile.
Rupert’s eyes widened in surprise.
