My Second Husband novel Chapter 43

Eudora thought that she saved it in a wrong file. She could not find it no matter how hard she tried.

When Amos came home, he saw her staring at the laptop helplessly. She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Amos frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My draft is gone!" Eudora cried, "It was still in my laptop this afternoon, but I couldn't find it when I came back home. What should I do? The meeting is tomorrow. I thought I could win the case this time."

Amos frowned again. "Did anyone touch your computer?"

Eudora shook her head and answered, "I've been holding on to it the whole time..." She paused for a while and she recalled,

"I went to print some documents when I was about to get off work just now. Jacqueline volunteered to watch over my laptop."

"Could it be her? But, why did she do it? She's so outstanding and excellent at her work!"

Eudora was not that naive either. She just didn't expect that Jacqueline, whom she respected so much, would do such a thing.

Amos looked at Eudora disapprovingly, "Perhaps that is precisely why she did this. It makes sense for her to do this in order to destroy you since you are acting so confidently." Eudora gave him a wry smile and whispered, "I'm too naive."

"No, you're not," Amos replied, "It's just that you never believe bad people exist around you."

Eudora let out a long sigh and started to work again. "Anyway, let's come out with a new plan first."

Amos was astonished by her reaction. She never failed to surprise him. Expectedly, she was not frustrated at what happened and was able to quickly adjust her mood.

"Tell me your idea," Amos said.

"My original design is a European style, but since Jacqueline had stolen my work, I can't use it anymore in case it was a trap. So I have to use another style. I'm considering the minimalist style!" Eudora shared her idea.

Amos nodded and commented, "Sounds good, but it's going to be hard to make it stand out among so many designers."

Eudora had also considered this possibility. However, she was not left with many choices.

"What about a modern European style!" Amos suggested.

"Hmm?" Eudora pondered for a moment, and exclaimed excitedly, "Good idea!"

People nowadays preferred modern European style a lot more. On one hand, it could satisfy the expectation of the older generation, and on the other hand, it was going to be more vibrant if compared to the conventional European style. She hugged Amos happily and gave him a kiss on his face before she returned to the laptop and started to work.

Amos' lips curled up slightly. He put down his coat and went to his study.

The next morning, in the meeting room of Everpeace Group.

Jacqueline was not as enthusiastic as she was yesterday. She smiled smugly and teased, "Eudora, have you completed your design?"

Eudora's heart sank. "You know better than I!"

"What do you mean?" Playing dumb, Jacqueline said, "What does your work have to do with me?"

Eudora didn't want to argue with her and went straight to her seat.

The meeting started as soon as Christopher Gellert arrived.

Every designer presented and explained their idea. As Amos said, most of the designs were inclined to the minimalist style. If she had chosen this theme, it was unlikely that her work would stand out.

Without surprise, Jacqueline presented her design based on the concept of the classic European style.

Eudora's body froze while her eyes were fixed on the screen.

She had poured her heart and soul into this project. She never expected that Jacqueline would be so shameless.

Initially, she thought that she stole her draft just to destroy them, or to frame her. Never did she expect that Jacqueline would use her work as her own.
