Chapter 613: VK Plagiarized
Something significant happened domestically.
During market research, VK discovered a perfume released by the Woodward Family which is strikingly similar to one of their own products.
This matter was immediately reported to the president’s office.
"Deng Deng, analyze the ingredients and proportions of this fragrance." Nora Northwood handed the preliminary work to the newly employed perfumer.
Even though she was a girl who loved to smile, her name was given as Deng Deng.
Deng Deng’s work efficiency was comparable to Megan Underwood, and she combined it with the VK product that had been plagiarized for analysis.
It was almost a one-to-one replication, recreating the Woodward Family product’s formula.
And promptly reported to Nora Northwood: "Here is the written version of the ingredients and proportions, the electronic version has been sent to your email, there’s an eighty percent similarity in ingredients, but with adjustments in proportions."
It was largely confirmed that the Woodward Family had plagiarized.
After dismissing the person, Nora Northwood remembered the person who had recently resigned from VK.
Who else could be the instigator but Andrea Miller?
She opened her WeChat contacts and found that the other party had already blocked her from their moments.
Andrea Miller’s move was causing quite the ugly stir.
She dialed directly from the phone list, ready to talk to avoid similar incidents in the future.
Andrea Miller, not having saved Nora’s phone number, did not know who the caller was and answered quickly.
"I’m Nora Northwood, we need to talk. I’ve sent a driver to pick you up from the Woodward’s place, they’ll be there in about ten minutes."
She was straightforward, not even giving the other party room to refuse, stating her request decisively.
Andrea Miller had nothing to say, implicitly admitting, clearly not expecting this scene.
They met at a café in the business district, at which time it was a weekday, so there weren’t many people around.
As Andrea Miller entered the café, she saw Nora Northwood in the corner at first glance.
Even sitting in a corner, she could not be ignored due to her strong aura.
"Director Nora."
Andrea Miller could almost imagine the reason for her visit, but she forced herself to stay calm.
"You should be able to guess why I asked to see you."
Skipping unnecessary formalities and pleasantries, Nora Northwood took evidence from her tote bag, an informal A4 paper, placing it in front of Andrea Miller.
Andrea Miller’s face changed color, her clenched fists falling under Nora’s gaze, confirming her suspicions were correct.
On the way here, Nora was still making excuses for the former employee.
She thought Andrea Miller wouldn’t be so devoid of moral boundaries, even if job-hopping, she would abide by the rules in this industry.
At this moment, the other party’s reaction was a harsh realization.
Disappointed, she said: "In the two years you were with VK, I never treated you unfairly. You joined our rival, and I still didn’t give you a hard time. I thought you were a smart person."
"You can’t just convict me with a piece of paper and a formula," Andrea Miller argued stubbornly.
At that moment, another group of people entered the café, led by Rachel Woodward.
Upon seeing the scene, Rachel Woodward was instantly furious.
She stopped beside Andrea Miller, striding on seven or eight-centimeter high heels, swaying her hips.
"Miss Miller, the Woodward Family didn’t hire you at a high price to have coffee and chat with your former boss during working hours."
Rachel Woodward misunderstood their relationship and the purpose of their meeting.
Listening to the sarcasm in her tone, Nora Northwood only found it laughable and interjected, "Andrea Miller, is this the person you left VK to follow?"
"Miss Woodward, let me explain, things are not like what you think."
