But May didn't think that there was anything wrong with what she had said. In her eyes, the moment Alan chose Grace instead of her, it had already caused a rift in their teacher-student relationship.Therefore, May pursed her lips and said bluntly, "Professor, your chosen candidate doesn’t seem like much." Alan’s expression darkened. When Grace saw this, she made a decision. "Ms. Elliot, I'm willing to compete with you." May nodded. "Good. You've got guts. But I'll be straight with you. "I'm going to show you no mercy, so you'd better be prepared to lose." May was very confident in her own abilities. Grace answered calmly, "Let's wait and see. However, Ms. Elliot, we should always remember to respect our teachers." May's expression changed immediately. "Who are you to lecture me?" Grace replied confidently, "I wouldn't presume to do so. I was just reminding you." May looked at Alan. She was clearly embarrassed by Grace's words. "Professor, I …" Alan waved her o
When Grace returned to the office, she handed over all the relatively unimportant projects to Luke. Then, she focused on studying all the related material for the upcoming fashion show. When night fell, the top floor Amirate Corporation’s office was still brightly lit. Xander came up to the top floor office with an armful of materials. He could see Grace through the window. She was so absorbed in her work that she was in her own world. Xander's gaze softened. He knocked on the door, then pushed it open and entered. The moment he walked in, he saw designs scattered all across the floor. Xander bent down and picked them up one by one. Grace was chewing on the end of her pencil, her face scrunched up in a frown. When she saw Xander, all her defenses came crashing down at once. "What should I do, Xander? I haven't got any ideas and can't draw anything!" Xander picked up all the designs, arranged them, and then walked toward her. "If you can't draw anything, then rest for
Xander was amused. "Shall we continue looking at the rest?"Grace was in awe and asked, "Is there something more interesting than this?" Xander wanted to surprise her. "You'll find out in a moment." After that, he led Grace along another street, where there was a traditional dance performance. Then, the two visited an embroidery workshop and saw many classic embroidery pieces. They were immersed in an atmosphere of classical culture. Finally, they passed by a pottery shop that had many porcelain trinkets. Grace's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said, "Xander, I understand why you brought me here." Grace looked at the porcelain trinkets and thought about everything they had seen that night. She recalled the fashion show material that she had been looking at all day, and an idea began to take shape in her mind. "Pen! Hurry and give me a pen!" Grace said excitedly. When Xander saw this, he hurriedly took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to her. Grace was flustered beca
That night, Grace slept deeply all the way until noon the next day, when she finally woke up. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Grace rolled over, and the blanket slipped off of her. She looked around and realized that she had fallen asleep in the office last night. "Come in!" Grace called out after she had gotten dressed. Just as she finished, Luke entered, carrying breakfast. When he saw Grace, he said respectfully, "Good morning, Ms. Lewis." Grace nodded in reply, but she was still confused. Luke hurriedly explained, "Mr. Fulton asked me to prepare this for you. I must say, he really is a very thoughtful person, especially when it comes to you." Grace blushed, a little embarrassed. She walked over to her desk and saw a note. "Morning, Gracie. I got Luke to bring the breakfast over for you. Remember to eat it." The note ended with a smiley face. Grace couldn't help but smile. She felt that Xander was still young at heart. She raised her eyebrows, looking
He admitted that he was jealous. In fact, he was bursting with jealousy."Do you have feelings for him?" Benjamin stared at her, asking the question he wanted to ask the most. "This is my personal business and has nothing to do with you." "Is that so?" Benjamin grabbed her wrist and forced her toward his car. Grace struggled. "Benjamin, let go of me!" "Say that you don't have feelings for Xander."Grace was furious. "Are you crazy? I'm free to like whoever I want!""Say it! Grace, I just want to hear you say it."Grace struggled to get free. "I like him! I like him a lot! I'm crazy about him! Are you satisfied now?"There was a flash of despair in Benjamin's reddened eyes. He felt like he had just been stabbed in the chest, and it throbbed in pain. Grace grabbed the chance to get free. She stumbled backward, her eyes wary. "Benjamin, no matter who I like, it has nothing to do with you. Even if there was no Xander today, there would still be Xeno or Xender … or any othe
"Today, everyone holds the right to vote. If your vote count is lower, you will be eliminated."Grace smiled faintly. Since she had chosen to compete against May, she naturally accepted this rule and didn't say much.Alan liked her composure. His eyes were filled with admiration.May arrogantly raised her chin and then took out her own design."Now that Ms. Lewis is also here, let everyone here take a look at our designs."As soon as she said that, everyone gathered around. May had a determined look on her face. Then, she unfolded the blueprint.The design was revealed before everyone's eyes.Everyone's eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at the design. It was undeniable that May possessed remarkable design abilities.She was highly skilled. Whether it was the brushstroke outlines or the meticulous handling of color combinations, everything was of top-notch quality."No wonder she is Professor Morris' student. It takes at least a decade of dedicated practice to ach
"This ... this ... Is it inspired by delicate ceramic patterns?""I've never seen someone incorporate such elegant patterns reminiscent of delicate ceramics into clothing. It's truly captivating!""This is a perfect fusion of artistic influences, showcasing the unique characteristics of ancient Pamore aesthetics. It's absolutely remarkable!""I mean, why can't I take my eyes off it? Look at the elements of classical art cleverly integrated there ...""This ... It's not just a piece of clothing! It promotes Pamore's rich artistic heritage. Such a masterpiece deserves to be showcased at an event like this."May looked at Grace's design work. Besides being amazed, she couldn't think of anything else to say. She had completely overlooked the long history of Pamore's culture.Her face turned pale in an instant.Her own work incorporated the popular Pamore style, aiming to cater to local preferences. But it inadvertently gave the impression of blindly conforming to local trends.She
Alan continued, "As far as I'm concerned, you don't need to seek any more investors. "The task of manufacturing the clothing for this show can be completely entrusted to Amirate's subsidiary company. Even the subsequent orders can be handled by Amirate as well."Upon hearing this, Grace’s eyes shone with excitement. This would further boost Amirate's overall performance!She was filled with joy and overwhelmed with gratitude. "Thank you, Professor Morris!" she said."You don't have to be so formal, my child," Alan responded. "After all, I appreciate talent. A promising talent like you shouldn't be wasted."Alan’s words were a clear affirmation of Grace.Grace, however, felt a little embarrassed and said, "Professor Morris, you praise me too much."Alan laughed. "My dear, you have truly won my heart!"As the conversation unfolded, the crowd around them detected an underlying meaning behind Alan’s words.It was widely known that Alan had been on the lookout for a successor
