Chapter 194 I had the most bizarre dream last night. It was as if Clyde had cback to life, only to chastisefor dozing off on the couch.

But when I woke up, he hadn't moved an inch from his position the day before.

Eliana and Warren dropped by to check on him and offeredscomforting words.

Yet, deep down, I knew no amount of consolation could help. It was up to Clyde to wake up.

After ensuring the caregiver was all set, I finally headed to the office.

The sight ofhad everyone in the Design Department breathing a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Crawford, if you hadn't shown up, I would've keeled over from stress." Jade looked like she had lost ten pounds, dark circles heavy under her eyes.

I was aware of the burden she shouldered withgone, managing the Design Department on her own was no easy feat.

Such a significant project, and someone dared to tamper with the design? After politely seeing the official out, York emerged from his office.

"Melanie, you cback to this mess, and you..." "Keep talking if you want to make this worse! I just got back, who dared to alter my design plans?" I whirled around, raising my voice.

Even when Kayla tried to provoke me, I never let it escalate in front of the team.

But this was different. York was jeopardizing the entire company! If the project failed, Clyde and I would d be held accountable, allowi York to wash his hands of the matter.

His words infuriated me, and even the Design Department colleagues glared at him in anger. I stepped up to him, fuming.

"So, saving millions justifies risking lives?" "Why don't you just stack splywood for a shelter? That'd save billions!" "Designers tread carefully, and you recklessly cut corners. Who gave you such audacity?" "Outsourcing the redesign of a crucial believe for a second that do you roject to an external team won't land you in hot water & As tensions rose, Fenton, clutching a stack of files, hurriedly intervened.

"Guys, we can talk this out.
