It didn’t matter if she was Sophia, who was committed to her work, or Sophia, who
was carefree. She was someone who was a lot more courageous than Samantha.
She was someone whose personality was completely different from Samantha’s.
That said, for some odd reason, he was able to catch traces of Samantha in Sophia
occasionally.
Many times, he thought that he had gone mad.
From the time when Sophia entered the company, he often had to suppress his
emotions. And now, when his feelings erupted suddenly, he almost couldn’t hold
himself back..
He lit a cigarette grumpily and started smoking it with his back against the wall.
Even then, he still felt dispirited. So, he ended up putting his cigarette out and shot
his fist out at the wall.
He couldn’t care less who Sophia was. She was not going to escape his grasp!
Just like Samantha back then, he was determined to bind her by his side no matter
what it took!
The next day, Samantha appeared in the office, dressed elegantly.
As usual, she turned heads as she walked from the entrance into the president’s office. Everyone’s gazes were drawn toward her.

At Ford Corporation, they called for an emergency PR meeting.
During the meeting, they needed first to determine whether the garment produced by the Ford Corporation was indeed plagiarized from the design draft shared by Hayes Corporation.
Samantha, as the person in charge of the design department, was naturally everyone’s person of interest.
If one read between the lines, they were saying that she was negligent in her duties.
They hinted that she was the one who didn’t perform the necessary verifications before allowing the production of the clothing to proceed.
But could they even be certain about something like plagiarism? Furthermore, none of them had even seen the so-called “draft” from Hayes Corporation.
If they had never seen it, how could it be deemed as plagiarism?
That being said, this issue had an immense impact on the Ford Corporation.
The news about plagiarism was already an issue that was not in their favor in the first place.
Moreover, it was their rival who was fanning the flames, making it red-hot news.
As such, Ford Corporation’s share prices plummeted in the blink of an eye.

All she did was give Conrad the original design draft, which was previously falsely reported as lost.
Before this, she had even sought Conrad’s confirmation repeatedly.
