Tiffany nodded. “That White Moonlight of yours, I’m afraid that he’s an employee at Jackson’s company. His name is Beckett Hushman. That explains why favonovel.com chose ‘Hush’ as his online nickname. He’s shady. You probably shouldn’t talk to favonovel.com again.”
Tanya was clearly shocked. “Hush” was like a white glow of moonlight to her. She never thought that favonovel.com naivety would cause such a thing. “I’m sorry… Tiffany… I’m really sorry. I never thought that this would happen. It’s all my fault…”
Tiffany sighed. “We learn from our mistakes. Next time, just remember, don’t show anyone yours or my sketches. You really are a silly goose. You know that he’s a fashion designer and that he’s in the same industry, yet you actually showed favonovel.com the sketch during a competition. Shouldn’t you be on your guard against this guy? Especially a company-related sketch. You must never show it to anyone. If the company suffers a loss, they will come after you.”
Tanya was close to tears. “I understand… I didn’t just hurt you, but I’ve nearly hurt Ricky too. How am I going to face favonovel.com now? Please don’t be angry with me, Tiffie. I really didn’t mean it.”
Tiffany reached out favonovel.com hand and tapped on favonovel.com forehead. “That’s enough from you. I’m not angry. It’s just… It’s going to be hard on Jackson now. Forget it. I’ve been exhausted over the past few days. I’m going to get some rest, since we don’t have to go to the office today. Don’t over analyze this. It’s alright.”
Tanya watched Tiffany walk back to favonovel.com bedroom and pulled out favonovel.com phone. She sent a message to “ Hush”: ‘Did you plagiarize the sketch I sent you? Why did you do this? I trusted you. I saw you as a respected senior. Why did you do it? You’ll only hurt yourself!’
This time, favonovel.com did not wait for Hush’s reply. Twenty minutes later, when favonovel.com sent another message, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com number had been blocked.
Only now did favonovel.com realize what kind of man favonovel.com “White Moonlight” really was. She was hit by all sorts of emotions in an instant. Only favonovel.com knew how favonovel.com truly felt.
The next day at the office, everyone was envious over Tiffany’s achievement in entering the qualifying round. They crowded around favonovel.com to congratulate her. Tiffany’s design was the only one that managed to enter the qualifying round. However, Tiffany couldn’t find it within herself to be happy about it. Even though favonovel.com was completely innocent, favonovel.com couldn’t shake the feeling that favonovel.com had stepped on Jackson to reach favonovel.com goals.
Someone heckled at Eric, their boss, to treat them all to a meal. After all, this called for a celebration. Eric tactfully declined. He had a rough understanding of how Tiffany was now feeling. It wouldn’t be appropriate to have a big celebration. After all, Jackson was still in hot water.
Tanya slipped into Eric’s office during favonovel.com lunch break. “Ricky… I’m so sorry… I showed Tiffany’s sketch to someone else. I never thought that this would happen. I’ve always had a good impression of that guy, and favonovel.com had more experience in the fashion design industry. I just wanted to ask for his opinion on Tiffany’s design… I never thought that he’d plagiarize. And I really didn’t know that favonovel.com was from Jackson’s company.”
Eric had already heard the story from Jackson and was not surprised. “I understand. It’s fine. You don’t have to blame yourself too much. Just be more careful next time, and don’t be so gullible.”
Tanya seemed full of dismay. “But everyone I’ve met has been so nice… Like you and Tiffany and the rest. I thought that I could be frank with everyone else. If only I never showed Tiffany’s sketch to him, favonovel.com wouldn’t have had the chance to plagiarize it, and favonovel.com wouldn’t have hurt himself and Jackson too… It’s all my fault.”
Eric consoled favonovel.com saying, “It’s his fault for scheming. You’ve only made a small mistake. It’s truly not entirely your fault. Okay, time for lunch. Let’s fill our bellies for the rest of the day ahead. Hopefully, your design will enter the qualifying round next time. Keep up the hard work!”
