Mysterious Message

Yashi assessed the situation presented to her by Dexter. "Let us not jump to conclusions or cast blame," she said, her words measured and thoughtful. "Instead, let us focus on finding a solution. Perhaps we can make some slight alterations at the last moment to avoid any negative consequences. But it is important that we keep this matter discreet among ourselves. Now is not the time to suspect or accuse members of our team. Let us investigate this matter quietly and swiftly."

Naisargi, visibly shaken by the news, turned to Yashi and said, "What if other designs have been leaked too? This could ruin everything. We've put so much time and effort into this show, it would be devastating if it all fell apart." Yashi, however, remained calm and composed. She placed a reassuring hand on Naisargi's shoulder and said, "Let's not jump to conclusions. Let's focus on finding a solution. But let's keep this between us for now, we don't want to cause unnecessary panic among the team."

Dexter nodded in agreement with Yashi, but the worry was evident on his face. "I agree that we should focus on fixing the problem at hand, but I can't shake the feeling that there may be other designs that have been leaked as well," he said, his voice filled with concern and worry. "We need to be vigilant and keep an eye out for any other issues that may arise."

She then turned to Dexter, "I understand your concern, that other designs may have been leaked as well. We must be vigilant and ensure that all our designs are kept under tight security. But let's not lose sight of the bigger picture."

"I feel like it's a warning of some sort. It may seem like a simple leak on the surface, but I fear that it may be something much more complex. We need to get to the bottom of this before taking any action or we may never know the truth behind it." Yashi added.

Dexter seemed to be deep in thought, processing the gravity of the situation. "I'll keep an eye out and ask around," he said, "see if I can find out anything more about who might be behind this."

"I understand your eagerness to uncover the source of this leak, Dexter," Yashi said, "but I think it would be better if we proceed as if we don't know anything about it. The last thing we want to do is alert anyone that we're on to them. Let's just stick with the original design for now, and make any necessary changes at the last minute." Her voice steady, "We need to be cautious, and we must tread carefully. The matter being complex, let's calm down first."

Dexter understood that they needed to be strategic in their approach. "Okay," he said, nodding. "We'll proceed with caution."

Naisargi, visibly worried, nodded in agreement but her hesitance was palpable. She chewed on her bottom lip, her eyes darting between Yashi and Dexter as she weighed the options. "I understand what you're saying, Yashi," she said slowly, "but I can't shake off this feeling of unease. What if this leak is just the tip of the iceberg? What if more designs are compromised?"

Yashi addressed Naisargi, "Trust me, Naisargi. As we move forward, it is imperative that we maintain a sense of normalcy and not show any signs of worry. Can I count on you to do that?"

Naisargi, still hesitant, nodded slowly in agreement. Yashi could see the worry etched on her face, but she knew that it was important to project confidence and control in times of crisis.

As the day went on, Yashi could see that Naisargi was struggling to maintain a facade of normalcy. She tried her best to hide her worries, but it was clear that the leak had affected her deeply. Dexter, sensing her distress, made a few jokes and comments, trying to lighten the mood and lift her spirits. Meanwhile, Keysha and Cailey went about their work, seemingly unaware of the crisis at hand.

The workday came to a close, Yashi called Dexter and Naisargi. She wanted to alter the designs that night and asked Dexter to accompany her to her home and work on it. She asked Naisargi to go home, get a good night's sleep, and try to relax. She assured her that everything would be alright, and just be confident.

As they walked to Yashi's car, Dexter said, "I can't believe it's E-phen. I never thought they'd stoop so low." Yashi sighed as she unlocked the doors of her Mercedez. "It's not surprising, unfortunately," she said, as they both got into the car. "E-phen has always been ruthless in their competition but stealing someone's design though comes as a shock. But we'll figure it out and make sure they don't get away with it." She started the car and they drove off towards her home.

Once they arrived at Yashi's home, they made their way to her atelier without delay. As they pulled out the new collection segment of E-phen, they felt a sense of unease.

Dexter couldn't help but make a comment, "You know, Our old workplace E-phen, Sure has a way of causing mayhem."

"Let's go through the design," Yashi said as she carefully examined. "We need to assess the extent of the damage caused by this leak."

The tension in the room was palpable. They were both deep in thought, trying to figure out the best course of action to minimize the impact on their upcoming show. They spent hours going through the design and making necessary changes.

Dexter and Yashi immersed into their work when suddenly his phone buzzed with a notification. Yashi, noticing the distraction on his face, asked, "Is everything alright, Dexter?" He quickly brushed it off, "Oh, it's nothing. Just a useless message of advertisement." He made a point not to let on the true nature of the message, a mysterious request for a meeting at a cafe at 5 p.m. the next day. He didn't want to worry Yashi with this added stress, especially not when they were already dealing with the crisis at hand.
