Chapter 33
The two of them walked out of the elevator, one after the other. As they passed the office area, several puins of eyes were fixed on them. Once they entered the office. Camille immediately rolled her chair over to Miranda’s desk
“Mr. Watts actually came to work with Moura today. Do you think they were together last night too? Camille asked.
Miranda, who was busy guiding her team through revisions to the renovation budget, didn’t respond right away.
Camille pursed her lips. “You recommended Moira, Miranda, and now Mr. Watts’s kept her on I heard she has zero work experience. they’ve made her a designer. Doesn’the worry she might damage the company’s reputation
“And about yesterday—Ms. Marrow birthday party, right? Whenever there was an event or a gala, Mr. Watts always took you. Miranda,
“But now, ever since Moira came on board, he’s taking her. Its the same old story, isn’t it! Men can’t resist beauty. Mr. Was no different. I really feel sorry for you. Mirandart
Camille verited her frustrations, but Miranda didn’t take the bait. As a senior designer at Dusk Fumishing, she was on the verge of becoming partner, and then ser any reason to involve herself in Baldwin’s personal life.
She wasn’t food of Moira, who she saw as just a pretty face, but men’s fascination with something new was always short–lived. Without real talent, Moira would eventually be sidelined–it was just a matter of time. Miranda didn’t worry about her
Once the budget revisions were complete, Miranda took the document to Baldwin for his signature.
Baldwin trusted her fully. Without even glancing at it, he signed the document and stumped it telling her to go straight to the finance department to have the funds released.
Miranda took the signed budget, but didn’t leave immediately.
Baldwin was reviewing this month’s perfomance numbers. When he saw the hadn’t left, he raised an eyebrow. “Is there something else?”
“I heard Eldoria TV is planning to launch a home renovation show called Reformers. It’s a variety show where amateur designers team up with celebrities. Our company has been given one spot for an amateur designer, she said.
Miranda thought. Baldwin’s uncle is a senior executive at Eldoria TV, I must leverage that
Baldwin nodded. “Yes, I’m aware.”
“So, who are you thinking of sending to the show?”
Dusk Furnishing’s most respected person, aside from Baldwin, was Miranda herself.
Baldwin wasn’t one for public appearances, and for the past couple of years, whenever there were interviews or promotional events, Miranda had always been the one representing the company. She had naturally assumed that this opportunity would be hers as well.
But Baldwin replied. “I’m still considering.”
“Still considering” Miranda’s expression darkened. “I can’t think of anyone else in the company who could handle this task.”
After all, appearing on TV meant being watched by the entire country. One mistake could ruin Dusk Furnishing’s reputations
well, Dusk Furnishing’s reputation in the industry would skyrocket. Of course, Miranda had her own selfish reasons
asons for wanting the d perform well on Reformers, it would boost her chances of becoming a partner at the company.

Miranda had once been considered a delicate beauty, but now, after the toll of high pressure work and constant overtime, she looked much older than her actual age–inner like someone in her thirties than a woman in her late twenties.

Miranda pressed her lips together. “So, you’re thinking of giving this opportunity to Moira“”
