Unbreak My Heart

"I had always heard that Sarah had a temper and was difficult to work with. How did Ashley get promoted like that in such a short time under Sarah? It's almost unbelievable to think that from being a mere assistant, she has become a fashion designer!"

The young girl pulled her friend's arm and told her the news about Sarah and Ashley.

The girl heard and saw Ashley's story for herself. She also had dreams of becoming a fashion designer and she wondered why this couldn't happen to her, as well.

"Despite her temper, perhaps she still treats people right. Besides, I think Ashley is a good girl who works hard. I sometimes walk past her, and she would always be sitting at her desk drawing something, or keeping busy."

"Hey, can you explain this to me? Zena and Ida came to this company much earlier than Ashley, but Sarah promoted Ashley."

"Didn't you hear what Sarah just said? Sarah said Ashley had a gift for design, and she thought highly of her, so she promoted her. As for Ida, I think it's good for her to work as Sarah's assistant. She's also a good friend of Sarah and she can give Sarah some good suggestions as well.

As for Zena, we should still respect her, because she is still Sarah's assistant. But if she becomes a designer someday, she could get even more arrogant."

"You're right, of course. I think this happened because Sarah likes Ashley. She must have seen something in her, something that made her see that she was right for the position."

"Who knows anything? Anyway, we're not that lucky. It doesn't concern us."

Some people in the company gathered around discussing the latest turn of events.

Ashley stood aside. Naturally, someone came over to congratulate her. "Congratulations, Ashley. I think I may have to call you Big Designer now."

Ashley smiled back and said, "Thank you. But please just call me Ashley. I learned everything from Sarah. I

o Sarah and asked, "Is she the designer you are talking about? Take a look at what she has drawn. You're promoting her now, but you may end up paying for this in the future! I hope you know what you're doing!"

The male designer did not mince any words. He spoke freely and spoke his mind. It might have been blunt, but he felt it would be for Sarah's own good.

Hearing this, Sarah couldn't believe it. "How is that possible? I've seen all of Ashley's designs. She designed them all by herself and she did such a good job on her own. How could it be possible?"

The male designer handed the design sketches to Sarah and said, "Take a look at these carefully first, and then you decide."

The male designer's voice was neither loud nor low, but everyone present could hear it.

The other designers suddenly seemed to have a change of heart, after that designer had said his piece.

When they first saw the designs, they were impressed. But now that the designer had pointed these things out, the others suddenly became more critical of the designs.

Upon further inspection, they saw just how heavy Sarah's influence was on the designs and it was now obvious and undeniable.

Ashley's work was good, but it was clear that she had copied Sarah's designs.
