Chapter 1

From the moment I stepped into the company's door, I was greeted with congratulations. When I walked into the office, my mentor, William, the company's design director, patted me on the shoulder with a look of encouragement in his eyes.

"Ryan, you will soon be able to stand on your own. Keep going! Master has every confidence in your ability!"

I looked confused: "Master, what are you talking about?"

"Didn't you see the notification in the company group?" The master also seemed quite surprised.

"Was it sent this morning? I was driving and didn't look at my phone." I said as I turned on the phone screen, zoomed in on the notification image, and read the content word by word. At that moment, I felt like I was frozen in place, unable to move for a long time.

" Ryan , you just found out about this transfer now? Didn't Jenna discuss this with you?" Master's voice brought me back to reality. I managed to pull the corners of my mouth and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, she mentioned it to me before, but I was busy at the time and didn't pay much attention."

I subconsciously made excuses for Jenna, trying to maintain my pitiful self-esteem. In fact, I did just find out about this. I only know that the candidate Jenna originally selected was another experienced designer in our department, but for some reason it was suddenly replaced by me.

As a senior designer in the R&D department of the group headquarters and also Jenna 's boyfriend, she directly issued a transfer notice without discussion and sent me to a branch in a neighboring city as the design director. Although this is a promotion and a rare training opportunity for my career development, it is obviously not in line with the company's transfer process. Whether it is public or private, Jenna needs to give me an explanation.

However, I couldn't get in touch with her all day. Her assistant just politely replied, "Jenna is on a business trip, and her itinerary is confidential. Sorry, Ryan, as a subordinate, I can only follow orders. I can't get through to her right now, but don't worry, once I get in touch with her, I will immediately report your request to her."

This skilled perfunctory attitude made me even more convinced that Jenna was avoiding me.
