Damara knew that Charlotte was deliberately taunting her.
She had no intention of responding and sat down at her desk.
Charlotte felt resentful. If Roman had allowed her to interact with Abner, she could have secured this order too.
After all, Abner agreed to it mainly because of his friendship with Roman from their high school days, and Damara’s ability didn’t
play a significant role.
Thus, Charlotte felt that Damara had just stumbled upon an unexpected stroke of luck, which led to a sudden surge in her
reputation.
Why did all these good things happen to her?
Charlotte felt like there was a ticking time bomb in

her chest that was about to explode at any moment.
Damara’s dismissive attitude towards her only added fuel to the fire.
‘Just because Abner chose someone to design his house doesn’t mean they can climb the social ladder. The truth is, Abner is
waiting for someone special, and everyone in Washington knows about it. That A&U Villa is meant to be their marital home.”
In the interior design industry, it was confirmed that designers often had the chance to get close to wealthy clients-several rumors
of colleagues having affairs with their clients and being caught by their spouses.
Charlotte was blessed with exceptional looks and had always wanted to take shortcuts to success. Her efforts to please Roman
were just her first
step.
But in the end, she gained nothing.
She had long set her sights on Abner’s project and

had talked to Roman about it countless times. She had even invited him out on his birthday.
However, Roman said he wasn’t familiar with Abner, and she needed to compete for the project independently.
If he wasn’t familiar, how did Damara meet Abner?
Damara somehow managed to talk Roman into helping her and successfully used Roman’s connection to get close to Abner.
She and Damara had the same goal, but why did Damara get to act so arrogant?
How disgusting!
Charlotte was on the verge of explicitly pointing fingers at Damara. Damara raised her head and looked at her.
“Are you talking about me, Charlotte?”
Charlotte sneered, “Who else could it be?”.

Damara nodded and replied, “Indeed, no one else has secured an order from Abner.”
Each word felt like a steel needle piercing into Charlotte. Her face turned red with anger. “Don’t get too full of yourself! Abner
chose you just because of Mr. Mitchell. It has nothing to do with your ability!”
Roman frowned. He knew his role in this was insignificant, and Damara had accomplished everything alone.
“Charlotte.”
Roman didn’t want any unpleasant conflicts among the studio members. The studio was currently on the rise, and Charlotte did
have some skills of her
own.
Charlotte felt wronged, and her eyes welled up with tears, “Mr. Mitchell, I know you and Damara were college friends, but you
can’t be so biased.”
Her words struck a chord in everyone’s hearts in the studio.

“I didn’t help with this order from Abner; he doesn’t even remember me from high school. Damara fought for it on her own.”

The others secretly murmured their thoughts upon hearing this.
He was helping Damara again!
Damara didn’t want to put Roman in a difficult position. After all, the studio was not that big, and he intentionally created a
relaxed working environment. So, except during meetings, everyone treated each other as partners.
She stood up slowly.
“If you can’t accept it, feel free to ask about the client’s preferences and submit your design sketches to Mr. Mitchell. He can
present them to Abner and ask Abner to choose whoever he wants.”
In other words, she would also submit her proposal.

And she would do so anonymously.
Damara’s gaze swept over the others. “Anyone else wants to join?”
Damara had always been aware of the murmurs and discontent among some studio members. She didn’t care about building
friendships or pleasing people.
In this line of work, the clients’ satisfaction mattered more than anything else.
If they were unsatisfied, she would let them lose once again.
Hearing Damara’s invitation, Charlotte slammed the table in anger. “Fine! If you have the guts, let’s all submit anonymously and
let Abner choose independently. We all graduate from elite colleges. Who do you think you are? Without your name and Mr.
Mitchell’s favor, Abner wouldn’t even spare you a glance!”
Damara’s tone remained calm.
“So, are you willing to submit your design?”
Charlotte’s anger grew more, and she glanced at the others silently.
Within the studio, everyone knew Damara’s abilities. Her designs were consistently praised by clients, benefiting everyone in the
studio.
But it wasn’t a matter of pride for professional designers to ride on the coattails of an amateur colleague.
If they submitted and Abner still chose Damara, the humiliation would be a hundred times worse than it was now, and perhaps
they wouldn’t be able to continue in the industry.
This was a bold gamble.
