“Is that your conclusion?" Harlan frowned.

“You were at the S.W. Studio for so long; haven't you analyzed why her design drafts are good?"

“Rosalynn is just a rookie assistant designer. She landed the Technology Center project out of sheer luck last time. There's no need to analyze her drafts," Asher scoffed.

Harlan's expression darkened.

"No wonder S.W. Studio fired you. You don‘t learn from your mistakes. If you continue like this, you'll never improve."

Asher stiffened, a mix of embarrassment and anxiety in his eyes.

Would Harlan fire him too?

“What's going on?"

Brylee walked in.

"Miss Morgan!" Asher greeted Brylee.

Brylee made her way toward Harlan.

“What's got you all fired up? Why the angry face?"

Glowering in Asher‘s direction, Harlan answered, “Asher lost his order to S.W. Studio, but he's completely clueless about what went wrong.”

With a roll of her eyes, Brylee responded, "Isn't it normal for orders to get snatched away? We can snatch one from S.W. Studio next time!”

Harlan checked his watch with a stern expression and rose from his seat.

"I have a business appointment. I'm heading out. Asher, take some time to reflect on yourself."

Asher nodded, feeling his uneasiness grow.

“Miss Morgan, I'm heading to work now."

The idea of being fired once more haunted Asher's mind, especially if he could not secure an order.

In this day and age, finding a job was no walk in the park. Getting fired from two companies in a row would seriously hurt his chances of finding potential employers in the future.

By then, it would surely be difficult for him to get hired by renowned design firms in Wragos.

“Hold on a second.” Brylee stopped him.
