"Ariel, why did you tear up Lauren's documents for no reason?" the director asked, his tone sharp.
Ariel glanced at Lauren and the director, fully aware that this was a trap.
The director had disliked her ever since the incident with L'oreal, and no matter what she said, it was clear that he would side with Lauren.
"What do you plan to do?" Ariel asked calmly, refusing to show any weakness.
Before the director could speak, Lauren interrupted. "Director, I don't think Ariel is capable of being the deputy team leader anymore. I want to make a bet with her!"
Ariel raised an eyebrow, maintaining her composure. "What kind of bet are you suggesting?"
"Let's bet on the upcoming fashion show for Eurotime Company," Lauren said, glaring at her. "You submitted your designs, and I submitted mine. If my designs are selected over yours, you'll step down as deputy team leader and leave the company."
