Chapter 191 Ungrateful
All the things needed were stored in the computer. After sitting down, she turned on the computer and was ready to copy the data to the USB flash drive for the press conference. However, she found that it was empty.
The computer seemed to have been switched. The files used today were all gone. Even the back-up part was also lost.
Melinda trembled to click the mouse, not giving up searching, but the result was the same.
All the people in the office left the mouse and staggered towards the office and she called Victor. Her panic made people wonder what had happened to her.
"What's wrong with you? The launch event hasn't even started yet." Victor had just arrived at the company. Today he also had to attend the press conference. He was dressed in a black suit, not as casual as usual.
He couldn't help but frown at the sight of Melinda who rushed to him in a hurry.
She was not the kind of rash person. Something must have happened something bad to her when she was nervous at this time. He teased her, trying to make her relaxed.
"The file on my computer isn't there. What should we do? The launch event is about to start." She held him by the arm, as if he was a life-saving straw. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she felt remorseful.
She guessed that it must have something to do with Emily. Emily would not let it go, but she did not prepare for it. She really hated her own carelessness.
Noticing her remorse, he patted her on the back to comfort her. "Don't worry. Tell me more details."
Though she spoke incoherently, her general meaning was expressed. It was normal that the computer broke down for twice, but it went on like this every time, which made people think deeply.
"I… Do you think you are a joke now? " She lowered her hands feebly and stood by with her head down, full of self mockery.
She didn't blame anyone now. She blamed herself for not being strong enough. That was why she was framed so easily.
"That's not like you. Don't worry. I have backup of that document when I found it. Calm down first. We will go to the hotel later."
He didn't expect that Melinda would always lose the manuscript. It really came in handy. Her eyes shone with surprise, and then she kept nodding her head.
She did not return to the Department, but sat in Victor's office to rest. The Secretary poured her a glass of warm water very considerately. With her eyes closed, she tried to calm herself down.
It was ten o'clock sharp. Victor stopped his work at hand and said quietly, "Melinda, it's time to go to the conference."
His voice was very soft, as if he was worried that he would frighten her. Now she was like a frightened bird who would not calm herself down. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
A short break calmed her down. "Wait a minute. I need to fix my make-up."
The PR department asked her to face the media with her queen posture today, so that they would know that she was not guilty to keep silent for such a long time, but to silently collect evidence and severely slap them in their face.
"Go ahead." Victor smiled with understanding and began to tidy up his clothes as well. He wore a tie today, so his exposed forehead made him look more mature.
The site of the conference was very lively. Today's conference, in a way of live broadcast, was held in an given location by the media. The manager of the public relations department personally hung up and maintained the site order with a group of people.
Everyone was preparing for the meeting nervously. Melinda followed him to the small lounge behind the conference room. A makeup artist stood there, with a thick cosmetic bag in his hand.
Hearing this, Victor was stunned.
"Mr. Cheng, you are going to speak later. You'd better wear make-up." The manager explained to her with a smile. Hearing her explanation, Melinda turned to him smiled.
He felt sad.
Melinda was gloating at his misfortune, but he was cooperative with everyone. After all, he clearly knew that the reason why he wore makeup was not for being more handsome, but for the sake of a mirror, or his face would easily become blurred.
At 10:30 p.m., the manager of public relations department Victor and Melinda appeared in front of the media. Those photographers didn't feel sorry for them at all, starting to crazily take pictures with their cameras.
The smile at the corner was very natural, making no one find anything wrong. As for Victor, he sat there with a stiff face, looking imposing.
The speaker was the manager of the public relations department, and then Melinda. She had a summary of the situation and the answers were very cautious.
These reporters were informed in advance, so they wouldn't make things difficult. After that, all the microphones were aimed at Victor.
"Good morning, everyone." Victor waved to them and greeted them with a smile. Many girls who were watching the live streaming immediately covered their hearts. They all felt that their hearts were beating fast.
"Mr. Cheng, what's your opinion on this matter?" A reporter asked a question with a microphone. It seemed that he was very brave to talk about it, because he not only spoke in the company, but also in the circle.
"It's normal for people in the entertainment circle to get involved in the disputes between you and me. But I believe that evil people never win." The smile at the corner of his mouth was kind of fun. Afterwards, many reporters wrote that as disdain for such a nobody like Sandy.
On behalf of the company, he said that to show that he believed in her and spoke for her.
"Miss Mo is a very talented person. I believe that many magazine and newspaper companies that have cooperated with her are all clear about her. Her fans know her excellence and the value of her in the literary field. They will never let those despicable people destroy her in dirty ways."
If Melinda just told the truth, then Victor would be quite arrogant.
The topic was raised to another level. Melinda was surprised, and then moved. What was more surprising was that there were many people who had cooperated with her here.
Every word said by Victor meant that what sandy have done were really wrong. The moral criticism made those reporters more excited.
Emily and Sandy, who were watching the live broadcast at home, looked at each other. Especially Sandy's face was pale. The conference went on smoothly, and she was shackled by Victor's words.
Sandy had no other choice. It could be told from Victor's words that her works would be belittled and that her works would be reproached whatever she posted later.
"Didn't you ask someone to destroy the evidence?"
Sandy said, looking at Emily maliciously. She felt that she had been cheated. Emily used to give her a hold as a way to hinder her.
Emily was also very surprised. At that time, Michelle told her clearly that she had destroyed all the documents, including the back-up. Besides, she had taken pictures for her.
But now, the photos that were coming out of the livestream were making fun of them.
"You were watching me make the call. There must be something that we ignored," She saw that Sandy pointing the finger at her. Emily was not happy.
When she looked at the live streaming again, the camera just gave Melinda a close-up, in which she was happy and relaxed, and a somewhat smile formed a sharp contrast with them.
"Don't worry. Maybe they are just bluffing. Haven't you seen they didn't take any evidence for so long?"
Said Emily. Sandy was a little calmer than before, but she had a stronger sense of foreboding.
Sometimes, the sixth sense was a really scary thing.
Emily was very confident, she was sure that Melinda had no evidence, Emily was waiting to see how bad that would be in the end.
When everyone finished their speech, some reporters finally couldn't wait to ask Melinda about the evidence. After all, both sides had different opinions on the matter, but they didn't have conclusive evidence.
The three people's expression made the crowd even more curious.
"I know that all of you are eager to see the evidence. Of course we have sorted out, or what happened just now would be a joke." The manager for public relations said. Then he waved to the staff, and the curtain behind the three people was put down.
Victor ordered to sort out the documents and now they were presented to everyone in the form of projection, and the comparison of the details and time, which even caused the arrogant words to ask Sandy to take out the first draft earlier.
The photo had been sent online. It was posted with words "welcome to identify". Don't let others say it was a Photoshop picture.
"In addition, we also found an interesting recording. Dear journalists, cover your heart and hold the recording pen. This is a big surprise for you."
Victor said jokingly. The worker under his instruction spread a conversation between Jonas and Sandy, including the conversation about how Sandy made a deal with Emily.
The medias at the scene were excited in an instant. Wasn't this a lottery? They didn't expect that Emily would get involve in the conflicts between Melinda and sandy.
It was so interesting.
All of a sudden, everything pointed to Emily. Emily, who questioned by her that, Sandy was slapped in the face. "You ungrateful bastard! You betrayed me!"
