Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Argument

I had a bizarre dream. In the dream, it felt like Leonard was waking up and reprimanding me for dozing off on the couch. However, upon waking, I discovered he remained perfectly still, just as he had been the day before.

Jill and Julian came to visit him. They tried to comfort me too, but I knew it wouldn't help. I would only feel better if Leonard woke up.

Once I confirmed that the caregiver was settled, I returned to the company. Upon my arrival, everyone in the design department felt relieved. "Ms. Green, if you don't return again, I might not survive."

Emma appeared exhausted, with dark circles under her eyes and a noticeable weight loss. It must have been challenging for her to oversee the design department alone after I left. "Let's go out tonight for dinner together. My treat as a reward." "Thank you, Ms. Green! Thank you, boss lady!"

"I want to eat at the most expensive buffet! I want to get off work on time today!"

While

my colleagues celebrated, Emma discreetly pulled me aside. "I'm too busy here and can't visit you. How's Leonard doing?"

I thought for a moment, and no words came to my mind.

"No wonder! Luca constantly bosses people around, acting like Harmon Group is his. Without Zack, I feel like I would have crumbled under the pressure by now."

I anticipated that Luca would stir up trouble, but I never imagined he would be so reckless. Not. only did he alter finalized design plans, but he also brazenly replaced the supplier hired by Zack.

Before I could even complete my review of all the documents, the relevant department arrived at the company. They notified us that urgent corrections were required for the project engineering.

"I regret to inform you that there are significant discrepancies between the construction and the approved design. The regulatory authorities have issued multiple warnings regarding this issue.

"Consequently, the project must undergo another round of corrections, and the updated design drawings need to be resubmitted. As a result, all work on the project must cease immediately."

With a serious expression, the staff delivered their message, leaving me speechless. How could anyone dare to alter the design drawings for such a significant project? After politely sending off the staff, Luca stepped out of the office. Ch 194 Argument

"Eva, such a big incident happened right after you returned. You..."

"If you're looking to stir up chaos, just keep on talking! I just got back. Who changed my design?" I turned around and yelled..

I always maintained a cold demeanor at work but never argued with anyone. Even when Lily provoked me, I did not quarrel with her in front of everyone.

But things were different. Luca's actions could ruin the entire company. Whenever an issue arose with the project, Leonard and I were the first to take responsibility. Yet, Luca could avoid the accountability.

Luca appeared taken aback by my unexpected outburst, visibly startled by my reaction. However, he quickly shot back, "I assembled a team to alter the design to cut costs. Are you aware that modifying a project's design can lead to savings of tens of millions?" His words truly infuriated me, and a few of my colleagues from the design department shot him angry stares as well. I approached him and glared at him.

"Are you seriously willing to sacrifice human lives just to save a few dollars? Why not just grab some wooden boards and build a shed instead? You could save hundreds of millions that way!

"Even the designers wouldn't cut costs this way, but you seem bold enough to do it. Hiring an external design team to tweak a critical project can land you in legal trouble. I can easily send you to jail for this."

Noticing that an argument was brewing, Caleb swiftly stepped in with a stack of documents in hand. "Luca, Eva, let's talk this out. Everyone's watching here. Hurry up and come to my office.
