Just then, two more people came in from outside. They were designers at her fashion studio and they were all in the same situation. “Miss Kaylee, our sketches are gone too.” “Yeah, so is mine.”

That was when Kaylee realized the severity of the situation. “Get a technician to come have a look right now.” From outside, a man replied, “The technician was just with me earlier. He said either someone erased it or we were hacked.”

She was stunned. “Hacked?”

What hacker would want to attack my small studio? “Is there no way to recover it?” she asked desperat ely. “Unfortunately, there isn‘t. The technician said it was a skilled hacker. He can‘t seem to find a trace. ” Kaylee flopped in her chair with a ghastly look on her face. Sarah consoled, “Don‘t panic, Miss Kaylee . Do you guys have any hand–drawn sketches? If you polish it up a bit, you can probably still make it in time for the registration.” Kaylee glared at Sarah. “Are you a fool? The contest wants us to submit a digi tal copy of our designs!” Sarah fell silent. She only wanted to comfort Kaylee. Kaylee brushed them off, “Okay, just get out. All of you.” They started to shuffle out of the room. Kaylee sat in her chair completel y dumbfounded. Who would hack her tiny studio? She got up and closed the door to her office then made a phone call. “Ben, can you come over right now?” A man gushed from the other end of the phone, “What‘s wrong, sweeth eart?” “Someone hacked my computer and all my designs are gone,” she said anxiously. “Don‘t fret, sweetheart. I‘m out of town right now. Can I go tomorrow? I‘ll take a look at it for you tomorrow.” She frowned. “Can’t you come back now?” “Sweetheart, I‘m in Mastar. I can make it back tomorrow at the earliest. Don‘t worry. When have I ever pushed off your things?” She murmured, “When is your flight? I‘ll go and pick you up.”

The voice on the phone suddenly turned dubious, “Do you miss me already?” “Ugh, did you have to ask?” she grumbled and started to blush, He laughed. “I‘ll let you know after I book the plane tickets, I miss you to death.” They flirted back and forth for a while b efore hanging up, She sat in her chair and spent some time thinking, I can‘t just sit here in defeat. What if Ben can‘t recover the data either? Won‘t I just be wasting my time?

All of a sudden, she sprung up and left the studio, then drove home to the Aubrey Residence

When she got home, Alana was the only one there.

“Mom!” she yelled as soon as she entered the house,

Alana was quite taken aback to see Kaylee come home. “Why are you back already?”

“Did you throw away all of Gianna‘s things?” Kaylee asked. Alana could not understand what was happ ening. “All of her things are in storage.” Kaylee did not have time to explain and went straight into the storage. She searched through it for about half an hour before coming out wit h a book of design sketches. Alana asked, “What is that?”

“Design sketches. The sketch I prepared for the competition got erased. There are only a few more days left before the registration closes. I’m goin g to see if I can find anything useful in here,” she said as she flipped through the book. Those sketches came from the sudden bursts of inspiration Gianna got while she studied design. They were all compile d into one thick book. When Gianna left the house last time, she did not manage to take all these things with her.

Kaylee stopped flipping abruptly and her gaze fell on the page in front of her. There were four formal wear sketches altogether; each of th plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. There was a fusion of traditional Chinese art in the designs

each one was mesmerizing and refreshing to look at. Originally, Kaylee wanted to come home to distrac expect, however, that Gianna would have such contemporary ideas in designs from seven years ago. “This one. I should be able to use this to enter the contest,” she mused. Alana was slightly concerned. “I heard that Gianna is back. If she catches you, aren’t you afraid she‘ll sue you for copyright infringement?”
