Chereads / The CEO's dying love / Chapter 7 - Plagiarism

Chapter 7 - Plagiarism

Anna realized that Sean didn't recognize her, she felt a little disappointed for a second.

'I must be silly to think that he will recognize me, or even remember me and what happened seven years ago' Anna thought.

They had sex in an abandoned room which is dimly lit. Anna recognize him at first because she has crush on him for a long time and she still love him, but she kept her feelings to herself.

Sean is now more handsome than before, with his perfect muscular body, his face is so handsome with his sharp nose, his eyes cold and domineering.

Soon the presentation starts. The first company to present their projet is the Hart's group, their project manager with her assistant present their their, and it's a very good project, well, they won't be there if they aren't capable of producing good work for the collaboration, and the thought of it makes Anna nervous.

Anna is sure that their company's project is good without doubt, but their is this feeling that bother her for a while, she has a hunch that something big and unpleasant will happen today, and thats what is making her sick and nervous, but even with the feeling she, felt she still tries to act calm.

The Paul group is the next one to present. The CEO of the company Mr Paul winks at Anna secretly as he is about to start presenting.

Toby saw his action and it angered him. Anna looking at him get a strong feeling that something is wrong. She knew Mr Paul for a while, even though he is in his fourties, he is rumored as a shameless businessman, and he has been hitting at Anna trying to get her attention for a while.

Anna ans Toby became pale as Mr Paul starts his presentation. They realized then that the Paul group stole their work because they are presenting the same project as Anna.

Anna know then that her work is stolen, but she couldn't back out now, because it will be bad for her company, and if she present the same thing she might be accused of plagiarism.

Mr Paul is rumoured to get to his position of company using underhanded methods, even though is not proven.

The CEO of Cullin's cooperation is known as the most ruthless tycoon. Anna maight be banned or blacklisted if accused of plagiarism, but she didn't want to give up her hard work for a shameless businessman like Mr Paul.

Anna is now in a tight position, she can't back out or present the same thing without a proof of her hard work because either way, it will ruin her reputation, and even cause her company a great loss, or even worse blacklisted.

Mr Paul soon finished his report. Anna took a deep breath to calm herself as she prepared for what will happen. Toby looked at her with face filled with fear and nervousness.

Anna walked with her laptop and report, she took a deep breath again then starts her own presentation.

Everyone stared silent as she starts. The room suddenly felt cold and everyone could sense the chance un the atmosphere as it turns cold and intimidating.

Soon, discussions started as people start talking about the situation.

"How can the Brown group and the Paul group have the same work project"

"It is obvious that one of them commit plagiarism"

"Yeah, they are doomed for bringing the same thing to the Cullin's. Who are they kidding"

Sean stared at the people in the room without saying anything, but it is obvious from his expression that he is displeased. He stood up without saying anything and exited.

As he exit the room, he asked his assistant Ren to investigate it.

Anna and Toby went out. Anna's mind kept wandering around on how their work project end up with the Pauls. She knew right then that someone from her company has committed treason.

Toby wanted to talk but figured they it is not the right time.

"I should report you for plagiarism after stealing my work, don't you think so" Anna and Toby turned around as they heard the voice.

"Or, I can help you if you spend one night with me" Anna stared at Me Paul without giving out any facial expressions as he kept talking.

"How dare you talk to in that manner when you are clearly the one who committed plagiarism" Toby spoke up in disgust. He stepped forward wanting to hit him, but Anna stopped him as she grabbed his hand and shook her head a little indicating he shouldn't.

"Really, why don't you show me a proof if you have one" Mr Paul said again. It is clear he is up to something and Anna realized it.

Toby is about to respond,but Anna tighten her grip on his hand to stop him. Anna knew that he is trying to provoke them, but Toby is so angry to realize it.

Anna kept quiet as Mr Paul keeps talking trying to get her response.

Mr Paul seeing that his attempt is not working, moved close to Anna. Toby moved quick to block his attempt at touching her.

Sean's face darkened when he saw the scene at the parking lot. He is going out when he noticed the scene in the parking lot, he has been observing them for a while, and his face turn dangerously cold for an unknown reason as he saw Mr Paul trying to touch Anna.

Ren is amazed as he saw his boss's expression. He wonder if his boss knew Anna, because he broke one of his rules today, and Ren thought Anna is the reason.

He did not dismissed and blacklisted the two companies that present the same project. Sean is known as the most ruthless and merciless business tycoon who only gives one chance to anyone.

Sean always banned and blacklist anyone who tries to play tricks with him or bring plagiarized project to any of his companies, but in this case he didn't give any order of ban or blacklist, instead he asked Ren to investigate it.
