“We can’t sell the Buche de Noel right away, and you’re saying the culprit doesn’t matter?”
Would they just cover it up when the design that was made with so much contemplation was stolen?
Ye Seul glared at Si Heon with an unfair look on her face.
“I will take care of finding the culprit, so Chloe, you do what you can.”
Si Heon spoke in a calm voice.
Anyone who knew the design could potentially be the culprit.
It would not be easy to figure out, and it would take a lot of time.
Rather than finding out who leaked it immediately, Si Heon decided that it would be better to first come up with a countermeasure for the secret cake design that was promised to be revealed at 12 o’clock.
“Chloe. Is there any Buche de Noel design proposal that we can change right now?”
Si Heon felt sorry for Ye Seul, but changing the design was the most timeefficient way for him to tackle this predicament.
Ye Seul was taken aback by how easily Si Heon was trying to find a substitute.
“…Is there no other way?”
Ye Seul stubbornly asked, her lips pointed.
It was outrageous that Ye Seul had to design anew when the bad guys were on the other side….
“We cannot compete with the same product when the opening day is tomorrow, Chloe.”
“I know. But…..”
She knew Si Heon was right.
Designs can be mimicked, but it’s difficult to copy the taste.
The taste can change based on the chocolate content and the combination of ingredients inside.
Chloe’s Buche de Noel had an impressive record of selling out in just one hour on its first day last year.
It was a blow to her pride to have to give up her cake because its design was plagiarized, especially when she was confident not only in its design but also in its taste.
Si Heon’s decision felt like he was ignoring her.
Ye Seul bit her lower lip and closed and opened her eyes.
“Chloe. This is business.”
Si Heon urged, as if reading Ye Seul’s hesitation.
“If there’s no other way, we’ll have to do it. I’ll do it.”
Wouldn’t Sebastian have suggested a better solution that respected Ye Seul in such a situation?
‘Even if you copy the appearance, your chocolate is something only you can make, Chloe.’
It seemed like she could hear Sebastian’s voice.
Sebastian and Baek Si Heon were different.
Sebastian turned to business, but the reason his business sometimes ran into difficulties was because he had a business philosophy close to a craftsman’s spirit.
Even though Ye Seul knew it was an unavoidable situation, she could not hide her hurt feelings.
The work created through her fingertips was no longer hers.
“Chloe. It’s regrettable, but we have no choice but to move right now.”
Baek Si Heon, who wanted to be a patissier, was a businessman.
Considering how sensitive issues of idea theft or plagiarism were, he could not take risks with products planned to be unveiled on the opening day.
The fastest thing to do in order to cope with what had already happened was to modify the yettoberevealed design.
“If the design of the product opened at midnight today is the same, we will be the ones who stole it.”
“That’s my design.”
“I know. But they beat us to it. It doesn’t have to be a completely different product. As long as it doesn’t look like the same product, I’ll handle the rest.”
Si Heon was desperate to persuade Ye Seul.
He knew how hard Ye Seul had worked on this product.
That’s why he didn’t want to ruin this plan by getting it entangled in a design theft controversy.
“I know we’re short on time, but I believe you can do it, Chloe.”
“I understand. I’ll think about a new design.”
Ye Seul forced the words out, suppressing her disappointed feelings.
“If it were Sebastian….”
The name of Sebastian popped out due to Ye Seul’s frustrated feelings.
Would it have reached Si Heon’s ears?
Ye Seul felt unnecessarily selfconscious.
“Please, Chloe.”
Fortunately, it seemed Si Heon had not heard.
Ye Seul sighed in relief.
“I will support everything you need.”
Si Heon paused for a moment. Then he continued with a smile.
“I hope you will demonstrate your ability, even for Sebastian’s sake.”
Ye Seul closed her eyes as his laugh felt too cold.
He heard it. It was embarrassing that she had compared Si Heon and Sebastian.
But it was just as disappointing that Si Heon wanted a complete revision.
“Of course. I can’t disappoint.”
Ye Seul tightly closed her lips.
Si Heon was not a person who could understand the position of a creator like Sebastian.
Why did I feel empathy and emotion, thinking that his views on chocolate were the same as that man’s?
The conversation they had while looking at the ‘Buche de Noel’ felt unbelievably distant.
To think of the flattering words of a businessman as sincere… What a fool.
Ye Seul hid her burning eyes and looked at Si Heon.
“Chloe. Please. The new design sample needs to be up by 12 today. Considering the photo shoot time, it’s going to be tight.”
As Si Heon watched Ye Seul swallow her anger, biting her lip, he clenched his fist.
It would be a burden for Ye Seul, but there was no other way at this time.
“I’m sorry.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
