Yvie shook her head in fear at once. She spoke in a fluster, “No, no, I didn‘t mean to say that!”
Jocelyn laughed and said, “I was just teasing you. You actually took it seriously. You can just call me Joc elyn. Since you’re my assistant, make sure to work hard under me and fight for the opportunity to become an assistant designer as soon as possible!” Yvie nodded repeatedly in an anxious manner and said, “I‘ll definitely work hard!” Although the title of designer assistant and assistant designer sounded similar, the work scopes were completely different. Designer assistants could only help out in miscellaneous chores whereas assistant designers could produce their own design drafts. They were eligible to participate in all sorts of design competitions as well. Jocelyn gave her a once over and said, “Also, dress more formally when you come to work tomorrow!” Yvie was dazed. She nodded at once. The top floor of Prosperity Jewelry. As soon as Skyler walked out of the elevator, Yale rushed over and said, “President Moore, the turnaround of the plagiarism incident has been trending online since yesterday. Century Jewelry Competition has achieved a new level of popularity as well. More than a dozen of advertisers have been contacting me from yesterday afternoon to today morning. They want their advertisements to be played during the competition. Take a look…”
Skyler walked toward his office and said, “Select three renowned advertisers and carry out a collaboration with them. The more investments, the better. However, having too many advertisements would bring about a decline in the quality of our competition!”
Yale immediately nodded and said, “Also, everyone’s attention is fixed on the identical design draft that has been submitted as an entry for both Starlight Jewelry Competition and Century Jewelry Competition. Although Miss.Jocelyn designed this draft and sh e has sued Lily White for plagiarism, the lawsuit is yet to commence. Regardless of how
much evidence Miss Jocelyn has, a controversial piece of work as such cannot be submitted as stated in the rules of our competition! How should we handle this incident?”
Skyler paused in his steps and said, “You mean that Century Jewelry Competition‘s popularity cannot be maintained without this design draft, right?”
Yale nodded at once. “Yes, that‘s why I wanted to ask for your opinion on it.”
After remaining silent for a while, Skyler placed his hand on the handle of his office door and cast a sideways glance at Yale. “As you said, although the lawsuit hasn‘t commenced , Jocelyn White already has plenty of evidenc e. What are you afraid of?” novelbin
“I…” Yale looked at Skyler. Suddenly, he noticed the wound on his chin.
After that, he started stuttering, “I……. I wanted to say that the competitions made it a rule
that such work will not be eligible to be submitted as an entry!” Skyler frowned and looked at him unhappi ly. “Why are you stuttering?” Yale lowered his head speechlessly. “It‘s nothing!” The more he acted that way, the more suspicious Skyler found him. “What in the world is going on?” Yale pursed his lips awkwardly and pointed at his own chin. “Your…chin is injured!” The location of his wound was extremely fishy. Yale could not help but overthink However, Skyler did not conceal the wound at all. His frank demeanor shocked Yale! Skyler immediately recalled everything that had happened in the morning after hearing what he said. A terrible and unpleasant expression formed on his face. “I cut myself while shaving. What kind of expression is that?” Yale shook his head at once. “You don’t need to explain yourself. I wasn’t overthinking!” Skyler’s expression darkened as he said, “I don‘t care about whether you were overthinking
or not: What‘s in that head of yours?!” Yale curled up upon himself when Skyler lashed out in rage. He did not dare to say anything. Skyler was furious when he thought about the wound on his chin. He spoke up in a heavy tone. “The rules are fixed, but we’re human beings with flexible minds. Since we can confirm that Jocelyn didn‘t plagiarize Lily‘s work, why can‘t we use her work? Let them know that this was my decision. An exception can be made for Jocelyn so that she can participate in this competition. Meanwhile, remove Lily White from the competition for plagiarism!” Yale nodded at once. “I‘ll do it right now!” He tried to escape after speaking. However, Skyler called after him. “Stand right there!” Yale immediately turned around. He looked at him cautiously and exclaimed, “President Moore! Do you have any other orders?”
There was an unnatural expression on Skyler’s dark face as he asked, “Do you have a plaster?”
If he knew, he would have accepted the plaster that Jocelyn had handed to him. That way, Yale would not have noticed his wound.
Yale shook his head.

Skyler felt slightly impatient. “Buy a box of plasters back for me!” Yale immediately nodded. He then headed off to buy them. After a while, Yale came back with a box of plasters. Skyler did not think that he would garner even more attention than before by sticking a plaster on his chin.
Skyler had a plaster on his chin during the meeting in the afternoon. Everyone could not resist stealing glances at his chin.
Skyler got annoyed by all the glances. Every time someone‘s gaze flitted across him furtively, he felt the u
