-Did you just learn that, stupid? -Lila lifted her chin triumphantly, nodding at his words.
-How could you do such a thing, I hadn’t treated you right? -Yolanda asked her.
-Don’t say such things in front of me,” Lila said impatiently. You don’t behave like a benefactor in front of me, you just want to use me.
-If I can do something to filter Albina’s design, why can’t I filter yours? -Lila added.
Seeing her appearance, Yolanda felt so angry that he froze for a long time.
Only after a long while she said:
-How did you get the design?
-It’s not that difficult. Once you heard about Albina, you were so scared, so how could you worry about the design.
After Lila said this. Yolanda immediately remembered that earlier she went to his office to tell him what had happened with the people from Familia Espina.
She seemed to be looking at the design here at the time….
Yolanda feels very remorseful. The design really leaked from her.
She looked at Lila with an unkind expression and said:
-Lila, don’t you know that you are now in Grupo Carballal? Do you think you can still leave after having said this?
After saying that, he shouted directly to the security guards.
When Lila heard the people approaching, there was not a trace of tension on her face, instead she looked at Yolanda with interest.
Soon the security guards arrived, Yolanda pointed to Lila and said:
-She is the one who leaked our design, call the police directly.
Then she said to Lila with derision:
-If you promise to do me a favor today, I can deal with you lightly. You’re smart enough to know what to do.
Lila laughed a little and looked behind her. Suddenly a frightened expression appeared on her face and she was about to cry.
-Miss Carballal, you can’t do this to me, the seniors in the design department have all been forced out by you. I really can’t help with this favor, please approve my request to leave.
Her face changed so quickly that Yolanda didn’t even react when she heard a loud scream behind her:
-Yolanda, what are you doing?
Yolanda froze and saw Julio’s angry face.
His eyes were full of anger and he said with a very scary look:
-The designers was messed up by you and now there is only one person left. why can’t you stop?
-It’s not that, Dad. She has admitted it herself that she has stolen the design and leaked it to another company. You have to believe me!
Yolanda tried to explain herself as best she could, but the expression on Julio’s face didn’t lighten up at all.
When Lila raised her head again, her face was full of aggression:
-How is it possible for you to say such things. I was specially recruited by you, you still don’t have confidence in your own eyes? After joining, I have never seen it and I have no access to it at all.
He kept using the same words as at the beginning, leaving Yolanda to the point of speechlessness.
Yolanda at first did not suspect her either because she joined late, but now how to have a feeling of lifting a stone to crush her own feet, she felt very suffocating.
-You said it yourself, you came into my office and saw the design drawings that I couldn’t organize in time?
-When did I say that? Do you have any proof? -Lila’s face was full of innocence. Her heart filled with amusement as Yolanda opened her mouth but could not say anything.
Then she said to Julio with humiliation:
-All my colleagues in the department have resigned because of Miss Carballal’s suspicion. She forced me to come up with a series of designs before tonight. But the workload was too great for me. Then she said she had leaked the design and threatened me with it. Mr. Carballal, I can’t do it anymore, please let me go.
Julio had reached the brink of fury, glaring fiercely at Yolanda, taking the resignation request from Lila’s hand and approving it immediately.
He then said to Lila in a very polite manner:
-Sorry, the company had a very big incident. Yolanda was too anxious, that’s why she did such a thing to you. I apologize for her.
-Mr. Carballal, it’s all right. I’ll let this matter go. After all, she helped me at the time when I was desperate,” Lila hastened to answer him.
Yolanda looked at Lila’s feigned atmospheric appearance, she was so angry that her body wouldn’t stop shaking and stared at her with a lot of hatred.
Yolanda felt that she was too shameless. It was obvious that she herself had admitted to doing it, but not only was it right, but it had caused her father to misunderstand her.
Then Julio said to the security guards next door:
-Do what you have to do. Yolanda, come back to the office with me.
He gave Yolanda a sullen look and left.
Yolanda said to Lila before leaving:
-Don’t be complacent. I will publish your actions, when the time comes, you will see how you stay in this industry.
-Do you have proof? -Do you have surveillance in your office? Unfortunately you can’t produce it, after all, I have done no such thing,” Lila laughed coldly. And you want to publish it. Can Grupo Carballal solve the problems it has now?
Then Lila rammed her shoulders hard to leave.
Yolanda looked at her smug back, her face full of madness, but there was nothing she could do.
True, she had no recording and her office surveillance had broken down many days ago. Since she was often in the office discussing something damaging, that’s why she wouldn’t let anyone fix it. Which hurt herself again.
Yolanda went to Julio’s office in frustration, and when she saw him, she complained:
-Dad, why don’t you even believe me. It’s really her who leaked the design, while after the police investigation, maybe….
Before he could finish the words, a slap stopped him from saying.
-Dad, why did you hit me? -Yolanda froze.
-Look what you did, shouldn’t I hit you? -Julio said, “The funds from the other industries are all given to you to make new products for Yoli. When something went wrong with the design, you didn’t think to fix it first, but questioned the designers and made everyone leave in anger. What else can you do now that the people are gone?
When he finished shouting this, he felt a little dizzy but went on to say:
-Even if that designer really leaked the design, you can’t do that before you have the evidence. What’s the use of calling the police if no one believes you now?
-Look at our current situation, adequate to call the police? -Julio said.
Yolanda knew he was right, she did not dare to reply to Julio. But she had a choking feeling in her heart which made her aggravated.
Seeing Julio’s unusually angry look, Yolanda asked:
-Daddy, are you having trouble borrowing money?
-Yes, I have asked the bank manager, we can’t get a loan. The previous loan has not been paid yet. I have asked for old friends I know, and now when they hear my voice, they just hang up. No one is willing to help at all.
Even the ones who did not hang up did not indicate they were going to help us. They should have wanted to see what Grupo Santangel would do next.
But how could it be that Grupo Santangel was not going to do anything to Grupo Carballal, it was just a matter of time.
Yolanda was also feeling very nervous now.
“Can Grupo Carballal really not get through this time?”
