Chapter 341 Do You Design This?
Hayley’s POV:
“Hayley, Thuner called out to me.
I glanced up and stretched, feeling a bit still. “I’ve sketched a rough outline. Want to check it out?”

He looked surprised. “I only asked you to help with some adjustments. I didn’t expect you’d create a design. from scratch.”
He examined the drawing, and his disbelief was eviden “Is this your design?”
“Even though this is a rough draft, it’s clear your design skills are on par with a professional’s. Have you worked as a designer before?”
I casually explained, “I used to draw for fun. Do you think it’s okay?”
Tanner pursed his lips thoughtfully. “It’s pretty good overall. But I’ll reserve judgment until I see the completed version. Let me know when it’s finished, and I’ll take another look.”
I nodded. “Sure.
“It’s getting late. Let me take you out for dinner, he suggested.
My stomach growled in agreement, so I didn’t hesitate, “Alright, let me gather these sketches first.”
After tidying up, I followed Tanner out the door.
Madeline’s POV:
Once I confirmed Hayley had left, I slipped into the room unnoticed.
Spotting her design sketches, I quickly snapped a photo with my phone without hesitation.
After I did that, a sense of relief washed over me.
Hayley was so bold to aspire to be a designer with her current appearance.
I’d make sure she became notorious in this field, forcing her out for good.
After ensuring the room was empty, I turned to leave.
However, just as I reached the door, I came face–to–face with an employee named Teri.
I took a calming breath, masking my nervousness.
She frowned and asked suspiciously, “Ms. Kilmer, didn’t you already leave earlier?”
Noticing the doubt in her expression, I swiftly pulled out a stack of cash from my bag and handed it to her.
“I forgot something and came back to grab it. I’d apprenate it if you kept this to yourself,” I said.

Teri eyed the money, which was easily worth two months of her pay, but didn’t immediately agree.
It was clear that this greedy woman thought it wasn’t enough.
Reluctantly, I pulled out another stack. “Take this, too, and keep quiet about today.”
This time, she accepted the bribe with a nod. “Don’t worry, Ms. Kilmer. Your secret is safe with me.”
Feeling reassured. I quickly exited the room.
Hayley’s POV:
When I returned to the design room, an unsettling feeling crept over me. Something felt off, as though my sketches had been tampered with.
I noticed Teri nearby and decided to ask, “Teri, did anyone come in here while I was out?
She seemed startled by the question but quickly shook her head. “No, I was the only one here during lunch. Nobody else came in.”
Her response didn’t entirely convince me, but I chose to let it go, thinking I might be overanalyzing.
“Okay, you can get back to work,” I said dismissively.
Once she left, I immersed myself in my designs, completely losing track of time.
It wasn’t until Hera stirred with excitement that I realized Benjamin must be close.
Moments later, a knock on the door confirmed my suspicion.
Smiling to myself, I didn’t bother to look up. “Come in I called out.
Benjamin entered, walking over to me.
I’m feeling a bit thirsty,” I said casually. “Could you grab me a glass of water?”
Without hesitation, he headed to the tea room and returned with a glass, placing it in front of me. “Here you go.”
“Thanks,” I said with a nod. Then, looking up, I asked, “So, what brings you here?”
