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
Yvonne continued, "I'm not acting. If I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have been able to see you at all.""Now that you've seen me, what difference does it make? Are you still acting in front of me?" Benjamin asked callously. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes. If it hadn't been for Yvonne, he and Grace would never have reached this stage. Yvonne burst into tears. She reached out to pull on Benjamin's arm, but he shook her off. Yvonne couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "What, I'm not even allowed to touch you? But … don't forget that you Hawkins will always owe my family! It's a debt that you will owe us forever." Benjamin clenched his fists soundlessly. This was the issue. He had no way to refute her. Yvonne had always used this against him, leaving him no choice but to concede to her."If you say something too many times, it will lose its power," Benjamin said coldly, a hint of warning in his tone.Yvonne said recklessly, "Then, I think that this is the last time
The more she spoke, the more agitated Yvonne became. She ground her teeth as if she were about to tear Grace to pieces in the next moment. Upon hearing her threat, Benjamin pushed her away immediately. He wasn't surprised that something so venomous had come out of Yvonne's mouth. But he would no longer give her the chance. Without hesitating for even a moment, Benjamin turned around and left. He didn't care how much Yvonne screamed at him. He just acted as if he hadn't heard anything. As soon as he left the ward, he went to Richard, who was standing at the end of the corridor. He kept walking toward him. He hadn't seen Richard for a few months, and it seemed that the latter had aged a lot all of a sudden. His hair was streaked with white at his temple, and there was a sense of fatigue in his expression. Richard didn't know how demented Yvonne was. In fact, he thought that Yvonne and Benjamin had had a good conversation. So he raised his eyebrows, his lips curling u
The woman stepped on the gas pedal. She had a wild impulse to destroy Grace. If only Grace disappeared from this world, then she would be the chief designer for Pamore's fashion show, without question. That way, no one would be able to take that position from her anymore. May gripped the wheel tightly. Right at that moment, a Bentley suddenly stopped in front of Grace's car, and May abruptly stopped driving as well.Benjamin had asked Larry to check Grace's whereabouts, and he had sped all the way here. Once he parked the car, he hurriedly opened the door and got out. Grace frowned. Benjamin was like a piece of gum that she couldn't get rid of. "Grace!" The moment he saw her, Benjamin's emotions flooded out. He really wanted to make it up to her. He wanted to compensate her for the wrongs he had committed in the past. "Mr. Hawkins, do you have a lot of free time?" Grace's tone was frivolous. She didn't really want to give him any attention. Benjamin pressed his
