Priscilla could not argue with someone as stubborn and unreasonable as Ava and found herself rendered speechless. She bit her lip in frustration, wanting to explain, but it seemed impossible to communicate with Ava.Initially, this job was intended for a new colleague at the company, Jay, because the manager mentioned that the design was quite challenging. Priscilla initially thought it was difficult due to the complexity of the dress design. Once she saw the design requirements and learned that it was for a gown, she felt confident. After all, she had spent many years studying design, and her greatest strength was gown design. Cameron was the world's top gown designer, and the second was the widely recognized Light Moon Designs' chief designer, Faye Fischer.Priscilla had always admired Cameron and Faye and kept a close eye on their designs. In her opinion, while Faye excelled in everyday clothing design, her gown designs were only average, falling short compared to Camero
"I … I'll go ..." Lucy was utterly stunned by the footage. "How can she change her expressions like she's changing clothes? I'm speechless! I can't believe I actually felt sorry for her just now. "She suffered injustices, and I understand the need to vent, but her way of venting is just too ... too extreme, right?"She acts one way in front of the client but is completely different behind their backs. She's just an extremist with a bad temper."Faye elegantly sat in her chair to order dishes as she listened to Lucy's endless complaints. "That's why you can't judge people by their appearances. You still have much to learn," she said lazily. Lucy pouted. "I really did pity her when she was being picked on. Who would have expected her to be two-faced? The difference in character is shocking.""Actions have consequences," Faye said. "If she did sufficient preparation and her service was impeccable, it would be the client's problem if she picked on her. "Still, the higher-ups
Lucy didn't know about Faye's conflict with Emma, so when Emma suddenly approached them and made sarcastic comments, she frowned and was prepared to retort when Faye stopped her. Faye smiled and said, "Ms. Emma, you are quite funny. We're just here for a meal. How much could it possibly cost?"Emma scoffed. "Oh, you sure sound like you are rich. I guess you found another man to sponsor your lifestyle after failing to marry into the Shaw family, Ms. Brown. "Well, you have the figure and the looks, so I guess it's not that hard for you to find a new man."Still, from the looks of your attire, I guess the man supporting you isn't that rich either, is he? It must take quite a big chunk of your savings to dine here."Lucy was enraged by her tone. "Ms. Emma, watch your tongue. Who says that young women who dine here eat at wealthy men's expense? "It may be that way for you. Is that why you expect everyone to be the same?" She scoffed. "Don't judge others with your cheap perspectiv
"I understand. Mr. Lukas, rest assured. I will present you with our best tea leaves by tomorrow. Can you please extend the deadline by a day?"The person who was apologizing was none other than Ava's husband, David Rockley. Ever since the Rockley family became rich, he had changed as well. He wore a suit, and though he had tanned skin and an average height, he looked humble and sincere, making him look reliable. It was clear that something went wrong with the tea leaves the Rockley produced. Coincidentally, the Garcia family that Ava mentioned was actually Lukas's family. "My muse!" Lukas beamed when he saw Faye. The impatient look on his face disappeared as he strode toward her, his eyes bright. "It really is you!" Unable to believe he had run into her here, he scanned her up and down to confirm a few times before saying joyfully, "What a pleasant coincidence to run into you here."Faye nodded. "It's been a while, Mr. Lukas.""Yeah, it's been quite a while. I've been so b
"You can insult me, but you are in no place to insult my mother."Faye let go of Ava's wrist. Ava immediately stumbled, spinning before collapsing onto the ground. Due to her huge body, there was a loud sound when she landed on the ground. Faye felt as though the earth was shaking. Lukas, who was about to help Faye, was stunned by the sight before him. The hand he had extended halted in the air, and he slowly withdrew it. He once heard from Sophia that Faye was really capable. Not only could she dance, but she was also a great fighter who defeated the gang of thugs at school. At the time, Lukas didn't believe her, but after witnessing how powerful Faye was, he realized it was true. Regardless, Faye looked more attractive than ever. At that moment, Lukas felt she was his muse and idol. Apart from his brothers, he had never admired someone to this extent. He stared at Faye, his eyes shining as he desperately wished to address her as his idol. Emma was utterly stunned and
By the time Priscilla returned to the company, it was already past eight. Everyone had left for the day. She hadn't even had dinner and was filled with frustration. She vented in the restroom, crying her heart out, and then returned to her office with swollen eyes. When she opened her computer and looked at the dress designs that had become impossible to work on, she sank into despair.Gown design was her forte, and being a Uclear University graduate, she excelled in design and predicting the trends. Priscilla had always specialized in creating fashionable designs targeted at young people. She believed that even though Ava had aged and her body had changed drastically, fashion was timeless and could be adjusted for larger sizes. It wasn't until now that she realized she had been terribly naive.Ava was practically obese! Her personality was difficult to handle, and her mindset hadn't changed over the years. Despite that, she demanded to appear fashionable, not wanting to
After being married for over 20 years, Clint remembered Flora was always composed and elegant. She rarely had moments of hysteria. Even when she was angry, she maintained composed.Apart from those angry moments, she had always been graceful, virtuous, and gentle, especially towards their daughter.However, at this moment, she was seething with rage, and her gaze was so cold that she could freeze everything around her. Clint had never seen her in such an intimidating state before. For a moment, he could not recognize the woman he had been married to for over 20 years and realized he might have never truly known her at all."Clint, are you done?" Flora asked, still wearing her hospital gown. After two weeks of recovery, her health had improved significantly. With daily walks and exercise arranged by the caregivers, she felt like she was back in her best condition from six to seven years ago.In fact, she felt even better than that time. She stood tall with a commanding aur
The door closed, shutting Clint outside. At first, he managed to compose himself and begged for Faye's mercy to spare Brown Corporation. As Faye continued to ignore Clint, he started to say provoking words in an attempt to get a rise out of her. Still, both Flora and Faye ignored him. Furious, he started barking insults. Listening to the horrible insults he shouted, Flora's expression darkened. She tried to get outside more than once, wanting to beat him to death. However, Faye stopped her. "Ignore that scum, Mom. The more insults he barked, the more Brown Corporation will suffer."If Clint were wise, he would set his pride aside and plead for their forgiveness no matter the price. Faye would not cave, but Flora might. Flora had worked extremely hard for Brown Corporation. Even if she was utterly disappointed in Clint and lost all feelings for him, she still cared about the company. If Clint admitted his mistakes and flattered them, getting them to sympathize with the s
