Chapter 52 Quota
Jean went back to her seat and sat facing the door with her palm supporting her chin. Since their altercation, there has been someone looking at them from the outside. As expected, Edgar had probably received updates of what had happened. Not only from Monica’s spying but also because he had received an invitation from Perles, MON & Co.’s rivalling company.
They had asked Edgar and Gigi Reece, as a couple, if they were interested in being the brand ambassadors for a high-end jewelry collection. Honestly speaking, they were planning on using Edgar’s identity for clout and was hoping that they could break into the market with that.
Normally, these types of invitations would have been turned down. Miles had already penned a reply when Edgar agreed to it, “Let’s do it,”
Although shocked, Miles replied immediately, “Understood, sir. I will go organize it.”
Edgar swiped his phone on to look at the news, ‘This autumn, two major jewelry companies go head to head, the fight between MON & Co. and Perles continues…’
So, Jean wants to get big at MON & Co.? Alright, I’ll let her. In return, she will know how cruel the world actually is.
…
That afternoon, the news of Edgar Royden and Gigi Reece endorsing Perles was leaked to the masses.
Jean fell into deep thought as she saw the news on the top searches.
Anna stood in front of all the interns and announced, “I’ve called all of you here today to plan next week’s fashion week. We will be appearing with several other big names in the industry; per se, our old rival, Perles.”
The crowd went into a frenzy when they heard this.
“You will all come pick a theme from this box, and you will have to design something with that theme in mind. The top three selectees will be able to participate in fashion week.” Anna smiled and signaled the staff to bring out a lottery box. After placing the box down, she and the staff left.
Once the door closed, everyone clamored to the box, fighting to pick first. Jean and Ally were one of the last to pick their theme.
Ally opened her piece of paper and on it was written ‘beautiful smile’. She was troubled and hesitated for a moment before going over to Jean, “Hey Jean, what did you get? How about we…”
She could not even finish her request to exchange when Jean very openly shared her paper, on it was one word, ‘red’. Ally immediately pocketed her piece of paper and scurried away, giving an excuse of going to have a drink.
Jean was uncaring of her antics and left to get some paper. When returning to the room, she saw two interns going at each other and grabbing each other’s hair. It was truly an interesting sight.
Jean couldn’t help but pipe up, “Only fifty-five minutes left, aren’t you going to design?”
Ally saw the situation and quickly hurried over to help the one that was hurt more. “Alright, everyone, let’s calm down and do our designs.”
Jean settled down and concentrated on her work. Quickly fifty-five minutes went by. She took up her pencil and drew according to what she had envisioned. In this moment, she was living in her drawing
and had momentarily put down her hatred for Edgar.
Even without revenge, I have to live and revive the Eyer family! What more, I will show Edgar that sending me to MON & Co. was a stupid decision with my own hands and skills! This is going to be my stepping stones to success! Just you wait! Edgar Royden, one day you will…
“Jean, your design’s so good!” Ally suddenly appeared by Jean’s side. At the same time, many of the other interns looked over as well. Upon seeing Jean’s design, many of them were stunned.
‘Splash’
Someone standing behind Jean had knocked over her cup of water, splashing her design. The oil- based stencil immediately melted and mixed into a pool of black water. Her design was ruined. Everyone was stunned. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” It was one of the interns who was in a fight with Sally Lance, Brittany Cook.
“There’s only five more minutes till we have to submit our designs, what are you going to do?” Ally muttered.
