Chapter 1358 Investigate Stephen Musgrave
How did I come up with this design concept?
A touch nervous, Stephen didn’t dare look Nina in the eye. Instead, he instinctively averted his face. That action of his piqued Nina’s curiosity all the more.
“Was it you who came up with it?” Nina continued asking.
“Y-Yes, I was the one who came up with it! I couldn’t sleep last night, so I turned on my computer and did the design. Is there a problem, Ms. Nina?”
“This white porcelain bottle will appear simple yet high-end with iridescence. We’ve got to be particular with the material, and the texture will be superb…”
As she gave her evaluation, old memories flashed across her mind. At that time, Chris held a blueprint in his hand and commented while studying it, “If there’s iridescence, it will no longer be a mere skincare bottle under the illumination of light. Instead, it can also be used as an exquisite decoration. And if technology is further developed one day, you can also add other effects. For instance, having it change colors when it comes into contact with acidity or alkalinity to verify the product’s quality. Then, the complement of the perfect bottle and its contents will create a set of skincare products that are truly well-loved and received…”
I still remember all too vividly his expression back when he spoke of that, but now… this concept has actually been designed by someone else. This is too much of a coincidence!
“I’m glad you like it, Ms. Nina.”
Stephen’s words interrupted Nina’s thoughts. Snapping back to reality, Nina stared at him. “I’d like to know how you came up with this concept.”
Hearing that question, Stephen was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he didn’t really spend all that much effort to come up with that design. Before he went to bed, that idea suddenly occurred to him, and he simply sketched it out while sitting in front of the computer. He never expected to finish designing the product so quickly. In fact, he was surprised himself.
Besides, it had him realizing something—his talent was previously in translation, but it had seemingly changed to design at present.
Could it be that it has something to do with that incident?
“What’s wrong?” Nina queried upon seeing that he was spacing out.
“Nothing’s wrong, Ms. Nina. I merely had some inspiration. I didn’t really think about it.”
Nina didn’t comment on that, but noticing his evasive gaze, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that the matter wasn’t all that simple.
Hmm… It looks like I’ve really got to investigate him thoroughly.
“I got it. You may go back to your work.”
Having said that calmly, Nina went to her office with the blueprint. Meanwhile, Stephen headed to his cubicle as well.
Soon, Nina’s assistant received a call from Nina. “Ms. Nina, did you say that you want me to have someone investigate Stephen Musgrave?”
“Yes, that’s right. Investigate who he associates with and whether the personal information he provided is true.”
“Understood, Ms. Nina.”
After hanging up the phone, Nina stared at the blueprint unblinkingly.
If there’s nothing amiss with Stephen, then it’s just too much of a coincidence for him to share the same ideas and thoughts as Chris. But if there’s indeed something off about him, there’ll definitely be some leads as I keep an eye on him and investigate him.
Right that second, a bold conjecture popped up in her mind.
Could it be that Chris privately told him his design concept? Or did he once tell him in the past? Or is there some kind of relationship I can’t conceive between the two of them?
Questions swirled in her mind, and she fervently hoped that the investigation would yield results as soon as possible.
Perhaps that girlfriend of his earlier will also give me some leads. At that thought, she phoned her assistant again and ordered the latter to pay attention to Stephen’s girlfriend, Melanie, as well.
“Understood, Ms. Nina.”
No matter how deep the answer lies, I’m going to unearth it!
Meanwhile, Kyle was the only person in the general manager’s office. Juan claimed that he had something urgent to handle in the morning and took leave.
He did ask Juan about the so-called urgent matter, to which Juan mysteriously said, “I’m going to spend some time with Sally since she thinks that we’re compatible.”
