Chapter 22: The many lies of Vanessa Taylor.

A week after Josie left the estate, Vanessa began working at HT–Corp on the designing team. Christian felt this department would be great for her because of the amazing designs she’d done over the years. She would constantly bring him blueprints and drawing of different architectural designs. Because of this, Harlod sent her to Allistar University, the top designing institute in Bridgeton.

“Ms. Vanessa, Mr. Taylor requested for you to come to his office.”

Vanessa was reading a text message from Jamie about Tillman when the secretary came into her office causing her to jump a little.

“Jesus! Don’t you knock! How dare you just walk into my office!”

“Apologies ma’am! Mr. Taylor requested to see you.”

Vanessa rolled her eyes and dismissed the secretary before heading to Christian’s office. Since arriving in the designing department, many of the junior and senior interns and assistants had been on pins and needles. Vanessa was the Taylors precious heiress, and she wasted no time making sure she let everyone know it. She would constantly boss many of the employees around forcing them to do her tasks with threats of getting them fired if they didn’t do as she said.

At first, some of them resisted deciding to call her bluff. All that changed the day Emily Wright was fired because of a proposal Vanessa did. When Christian Taylor demanded to know who was responsible for such a disastrous proposal, Vanessa instantly blamed Emily. When Emily tried to explain it wasn’t her and in fact Vanessa, several staff members bribed by Vanessa came forward saying they’d witnessed Emily working on the proposal. After that, not only did Christian fire Emily, but he also made sure she couldn’t find a job anywhere else in Bridgeton.

After the firing, the employees quickly began sucking up to Vanessa, treating her like she was the queen of the department.

“Hey big brother!”

Vanessa bounced into Christian’s office with a huge smile on her face. Motioning for her to sit, Christian was finishing up a call.

“Well there has to be something on her. See if you can find out who her assistant is. People have already worked with her here in Bridgeton so there’s no reason the Taylors can’t find her.”

Christian barked his orders to his assistant and sat back into his chair.

“What was that about?”

Vanessa looked at Christian with a puzzled expression.

“Elizabeth Bowen,”

Vanessa’s eyes widen. She’d heard about this Elizabeth Bowen person from office gossip. Everyone was ranting about how great her designs were. An instant feeling of envy crept into Vanessa.

“A–Are you thinking about hiring her?”

Christian nodded yes as he took some papers out of his desk.

Vanessa’s eyes darkened as she began to panic. If Christian hired that Bowen person and brought her into the company, it could jeopardize her chance of running the design department!

“But why! You don’t need her! You’ve got me!”

Christian looked up at his sister with a puzzled expression. It was true, Vanessa was fairly talented, but lately her work had been less than stellar. If they were going to win the designing competition and secure the Delgato contract he would need designs that were not only beautiful but extremely unique.

“Actually, that’s what I wanted to talk to you

Vanessa began to panic inwardly.

about.”

“As you know, after the new year, Delgato Developments will be hosting the designing competition to pick a company to design and build their new condos and townhomes in the southern region.”

Vanessa nodded, she’d heard about the competition from office gossip.

“HT–Corp will be entering that competition. Dad really wants to secure that contract. A contract this big will allow HT–Corp to go global.”

Christian handed Vanessa a bunch of blank blueprint and sketching sheets. Confused, Vanessa stared at the sheets.
