EuropeNovelChapter 277 The fact that Suzanne had designed an entire Belle Fleur jewelry collection proved she had real talent. Even if she didn't win the Elite Award, it wouldn't be an embarrassment.
But Tanya simply smiled and shook her head at Seline. "As long as she enters that competition, I have a way..." She then laid out her entire plan, and with every word, Seline's eyes gleamed brighter.
Tanya scoffed internally at Seline's naivety. Tampering with results was such a simple trick. And yet, for all her hatred toward Suzanne, it had never crossed her mind.
A slow smirk curled on Seline's lips as she looked at Tanya. "Good. I'll leave this to you." Leaning forward, she rummaged through the pile of papers on her desk and pulled out an evaluation form, sliding it toward Tanya. Her tone was deliberate as she remarked, "This is the annual review. Do this well and there'll be benefits in it for you." The company's annual evaluation directly impacted year-end bonuses and spring promotions.

Why pin her hopes on someone like Suzanne, who had no real power, when she could seize the benefits right in front of her? Seline withdrew her hand. Feeling pleased, she idly admired her freshly painted pastel-pink nails. Then, watching as Tanya glanced around the office, she gave another order, "Find someone to clean this up." Tanya responded with a respectful smile, "Of course, Ms. Yates." Clutching the evaluation form, she turned and walked out of the office.
The moment the door clicked shut, Seline lifted her gaze and looked through the glass wall at Suzanne, who was busy working outside. A cold smirk played on her lips. "You want fso badly? Fine. Let's make sure you get more than enough." Once Suzanne was tainted by scandal, even her identity as a miracle doctor wouldn't be able to pull her out of the mud.
For now, Seline was content to let Suzanne enjoy these little victories. Soon, she would be drowning in darkness. Just picturing Suzanne's downfall sent a thrill of excitement through her.
Two hours later, Suzanne had just finished her task when she saw Tanya stride into the design department with a thick stack of documents in hand. She then clapped her hands sharply.
All work cto a halt as everyone turned to look at her.
Dressed in a sleek navy-blue fitted suit, Tanya had her sleeves neatly rolled up, revealing her wrists. Her movements were crisp and efficient.
"Stop what you're doing," she called out. "Design department meeting in the conference room in ten minutes." These sudden emergency meetings were nothing new. After all, they often needed to brainstorm designs together. No one was particularly surprised, though a few sighed in resignation.
"Ugh, another lecture," someone muttered.
"Shh! You trying to get fired?" another whispered back, half-joking.
Despite their grumbling, everyone began gathering their materials for the meeting.

The design department's conference room was bathed in white, with flowing, ribbon-like structures waven into the design. A long, wavy white conference table stretched through the space, its curves mirrored by the delicate ribbon patterns adorning the walls, seamlessly connecting the entire room. The room was sleek and minimalist, yet undeniably artistic.
Suzanne walked in with her notes, settling quietly into a corner seat. She rarely spoke at these meetings. She was usually just there to listen. At the head of the room, Seline was already seated. She twirled a pen between her fingers, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Once everyone had arrived, Tanya surveyed the room and spoke. "This meeting is about the upcoming Elite Award."
The moment those words left her lips, a buzz of excitement rippled through the room. For any designer, room this was the dream. If their work stood out and caught the judges' attention, this could be their breakthrough moment. Everyone wanted a shot despite knowing they weren't good enough.
