Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Janet's forehead.
If her guess was right, things could only get worse. She didn't just have that one design drawings on her laptop. She had access to almost all designs for W Mark's clients. If the hacker had stolen her files, then the studio was doomed!
W Marks's specialty was haute couture— meaning every design was unique to every client. It would be a big deal if all their designs had been leaked.
Thinking of this, Janet couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and went straight to Draco's office.
When Draco saw that it was Janet by the door, he was a little bit surprised. "Janet, what is it? Having trouble with your work?"
He knew in his heart that the leak didn't have anything to do with Janet.
Janet felt a little uneasy. She sat down opposite to Draco, lowered her head, and apologized sincerely, "Mr. Wesley, it might've been me who leaked the design."
Draco's eyes widened in shock.
After listening to the whole story, he nodded. "I see. So basically, you know that your computer was hacked, but you're not sure if the hacker got their hands on your files?"
Wrought with guilt, Janet lowered her head and whispered, "Yes. But I can't rule this possibility out. I can't shake off the feeling that I'm responsible for this matter. Mr. Wesley, I'm willing to take the blame. I'll talk to Mrs. Fuller." Mrs. Fuller had paid for the design in full. If it was really Janet's fault that the design was leaked, she couldn't let W Marks pay for the loss.
Draco fell silent and looked at her pensively.
It was even clearer to him now that this woman had unwavering integrity and courage. Draco admired Janet for this, but if she wanted to climb to the top, she would have to be smarter than this.
After a long while, he sighed and stood up from his seat and walked over to Janet, whose head was lowered. "Janet, have you considered the fact that once you go to see Mrs. Fuller and confess, your career might be ruined?"
Janet raised her head hesitantly.
How could she not have thought about it? But she had no choice. She had to take responsibility for the mistakes she had made.
"Just leave it to me," Draco said gently.
"But, Mr. Wesley—" Obviously, Janet still wanted to take responsibility for her actions.
Draco's expression turned grim. "Don't say anything more. What you should do now is investigate whether other drafts have been leaked or not!"
