Dylan swallowed quietly. He wanted to pull her in his arms and press the soft, fresh, and hard nipple under her shirt. But then he found that there were so many people fixing their gaze at her.
"Get up," ordered Dylan as he yanked her to her feet. His face darkened.
"It's okay..." Savannah got more nervous and wanted to squat down again. Dylan frowned, stooped down, and picked the rest papers quickly.
A little embarrassed, Savannah thanked him and was about to leave when a surprised voice from behind her said, "what's wrong with the design?"
"What's that? It's a mess." said another voice.
Savannah hurried over to the two men to see the design papers. They were blotted with some brown spots.
A few more managers complained too. They turned over the smudged pages and frowned.
"Like coffee? Someone spilled coffee all over the design papers?"
"Tony, what's wrong with your department? Why are you so careless to show Mr. Sterling this rubbish in such a serious meeting?"
Tony glared at Savannah and shouted, "what's the problem with you? Don't you know how important the designs are? You spilled coffee on it? Many of these design drawings are hand-drawn original copies, and it's difficult to recover them!"
Savannah bit her lips in silence. She wondered why Sunny asked her to take such important documents to the meeting. She didn't even have time to check them.
"I have no idea why they are stained by coffee," Savannah explained calmly, "I didn't spill coffee on them. I don't know how it got smudged."
"Why don't you just admit your mistake? Who else could do it but you?" Tony announced angrily and then turned to Dylan, "Mr. Sterling, I'm sorry, but it's my department's fault, and I'll handle it."
"What are you going to do?" Dylan looked at Tony with a stony air. His voice was toneless.
"This designer assistant is still on her three-month probation. She's so careless and messed up the important meeting! I've decided to dismiss her immediately and never hire her again!"
Even if they decided to dismiss her, Savannah would not leave after being wronged. She looked at Tony and articulated her words clearly, "Director, as I said, I didn't do it. I only brought them up to you from your office at your command. I didn't dirty them."
"Are you still quibbling? These design drawings were kept in my office. Didn't you go to my office just now? Didn't you touch them and take them out? If not you, who else?" Tony snorted coldly.
He was right. The director's office was not easily accessible... If she had not been allowed to go in today, she would not have a chance to touch the design drawings. She couldn't help but look at Sunny beside Tony.
But it was hard to defend herself without proof...
"Nothing further to say? Get out of here, now! Put her down, Sunny," said Tony with a sinister laugh, and a wicked light flamed in his eyes.
Sunny got up and walked to Savannah. "Please leave the meeting room now."
"I didn't do it. I can't accept being fired like this!" Savannah threw off Sunny's hand on her arm, looking Tony in the eye. It was a matter of reputation, and she couldn't back down.
Tony snorted impatience. "We don't have time for this. As I said, you're fired. Fine, Sunny, get the guard!"
"Yes, you're fired." Dylan opened his mouth before Sunny could call the guard. He looked away from the PC screen and looked at Tony coldly. "Not her. I mean, you and your secretary are fired."
Everyone gasped!
Tony and Sunny all changed their faces. "Mr. Sterling... What do you mean? Why?"
Savannah looked at Dylan and froze for a moment.
Dylan didn't explain but turned the PC towards Tony. Everyone in the room could clearly see the screen.
On the screen, it was the security monitor video for Tony's office. Dylan got it from the control room when Tony accused Savannah just now.
He clicked Replay with his long finger.
In the monitoring video, Tony's office door opened, and Sunny went in, ready to pick up the design drawings, but she accidentally knocked over a cup of unfinished coffee on the desk.
The coffee spilled all over the design drawings. In a panic, Sunny got a tissue to clean them but found that the papers had already been stained by coffee. She had to take out her mobile phone and dial it.
She called Tony. It could be clearly seen that Sunny was severely scolded by Tony on the phone. Her eyes turned red, and she kept apologizing.
Tony seemed to have an idea over the phone. Sunny's face relaxed a lot after he said something. She nodded, hung up, and packed up the design drawings quickly. Then she walked out of the office as if nothing had happened.
Dylan switched the window and opened another video.
On the screen, Sunny walked out of Tony's office to Savannah's cubicle. After a few words, Savannah nodded and headed for Tony's office.
***
"See why you're fired?" Dylan paused the monitor and said with a startlingly cold voice.
Everyone in the room whispered to each other.
Savannah understood what had happened.
Sunny went downstairs for the design drawings but accidentally spilled the coffee all over the papers. She called Tony, who was angry but decided to frame Savannah with it. In this way, he could free his people from punishment and drive away from the one he hated at the same time.
But nobody expected that the big boss would fire Tony and Sunny because Savannah was wronged by them.
Savannah took a deep breath. It must be because she had saved his son last time.
Tony did not believe the big boss would investigate the truth for a probationer. He swallowed in a pale face. Was the newcomer so important?
Before Tony and Sunny could defend themselves, the security guard came in and took them out.
