The Mysterious Wife novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Chief Designer

It was autumn in Seacisco. Golden, auburn and red leaves fell gently from the trees and scattered the streets below.

The sky was overcast and gloomy. Every person on the street had windbreakers on and walked briskly through the

inclement weather. Janet peered out of the window, wondering whether there would be heavy rains to follow this foreboding weather. Tiffany’s usual serious voice suddenly came to her ears. “See me in my office, Lind.” Everyone cast Janet a sympathetic look. Recently, Tiffany had been picking on every designer in the store. People were starting to wonder if she was perhaps going through menopause. “Ms. Fisher, what can I do for you?” Janet recalled the work she had done over the past few days. She had completed every project as scheduled. She couldn’t think of a reason for Tiffany to criticize her. “You have done a stellar job in the Perkins Bank project. A clothing brand of theirs wants to work with us. Have a look at their proposal yourself.” Tiffany sat cross-legged in the chair and handed Janet a document to peruse. Then she lowered her head and continued to look over the design drafts. “So who will I work with this time?” Janet said, holding a large stack of documents in her hands. It was industry norm for there to usually be a chief designer and at least one lower level co-designer collaborating on one project together.

Tiffany raised her eyes, rested her elbow on the table, and said thoughtfully, “Since you have worked with the Perkins before, I am going to let you be the chief designer for this project.” “But I’m just a mid-tier designer…”

She had never been a chief, designer on any project, nor did she qualify for one; which meant that Tiffany was making an exception for her.

Elsewhere, Charis got wind of the news quickly.

She had been keeping an eye on Janet and thought that it was imperative that she didn’t allow Janet to take on the project. Janet hadn’t been working in the Larson Group for too long yet she was already about to become the chief designer of a project. If she went through with it, she would make a great leap forward in her career. Charis didn’t want that to happen.

But she couldn’t get involved directly. Thinking of this, she grabbed her phone and called one of the executives in the Larson Group, namely Adolf Pierce. “Pierce, there is a project in the design department. I am privy to the fact that a mid-tier designer is going to be in charge of it. If news of this spread among the other employees of the company, they will be incensed. You are Fisher’s boss. You ought to nip this in the bud,” she said. Adolf was Tiffany’s superior. If he had something to say about it to her, she would definitely change her mind.
