Back in the office, it was already past six. After waiting for over half an hour, Anastasia's patience wore thin, and she vented her anger on Jamie. Jamie held her temper and handled Anastasia calmly. However, Anastasia didn't let Jamie go because of that and started yelling in the office, picking on Jamie at every opportunity. Employees in the office had yet to go off work at six, and as they listened to the fuss Anastasia was making, they started whispering to one another. Everyone knew that Faye accepted an atrociously high-paying job, and anyone who could afford to pay that much couldn't be easygoing. Someone from the secretary department had said that "Ms. 200 million" came, looking smug and malicious. She was clearly someone hard to deal with and likely came to pick on Faye. "Ms. 200 million" was a nickname they came up with for Anastasia. After all, there weren't many who would spend so much on a gown, especially not in Jeorgia. Anastasia was the first person ever, a
Though Anastasia said she wanted to view the design in five minutes, ten minutes had passed by the time she returned to Faye's office after composing herself. Faye apologized to her with a smile and even asked about her injuries. Anastasia's expression darkened further as she glared daggers at Faye. She knew that Faye did it on purchase. Faye was clearly acting that way because she knew Cedric was there to back her up. "Cedric has to be blind to fall for such a pretentious woman," Anastasia thought. Faye ignored her glare and led her into the meeting room before showing her the design. "Ms. Streep, you want to see the design, right? It's all ready. Don't hesitate to voice your questions or concerns, and please let me know if amendments are needed. I promise to make them as soon as possible to hand you your gown thirteen days from now."Listening to Faye's seemingly respectful tone, Anastasia felt appalled, knowing that Faye was trying to toy with her on purpose. Unable t
Faye expected Anastasia to nitpick and find faults, so she wasn't surprised when she heard these questions. Instead, she smiled. She wasn't afraid of Anastasia's attempts to cause problems. On the contrary, she would be more concerned if Anastasia didn't raise any objections now and did something behind her back afterward. Faye patiently explained the inspiration behind this design and some basic principles. She systematically addressed all the questions Anastasia had raised, but Anastasia was still displeased. With a dark expression, she said, "So, you're telling me your design has perfect theoretical support and fully complies with the requirements. Is that what you're saying?"Faye smiled and replied, "I wouldn't dare to say it's perfect. It's a matter of personal interpretation. After all, this gown is customized for you, Ms. Streep. It's only perfect if you find it perfect."Anastasia stood up and said coldly, "Sure, you did indeed create this design according to my requir
Anastasia was startled. She quickly looked toward the large screen and saw that the design draft was replaced by multiple frames, each corresponding to a person. Most of them were foreigners, including a young man who stood out due to his youthful appearance and black-framed glasses.The conversation had been in broken English by the foreigners. The young man, who had remained quiet so far, spoke, "Ms. Fischer's design not only perfectly aligns with the theme's requirements but also introduces strong design elements beyond the theme. It's a masterpiece. I once designed something similar when I worked at Allure Designs, and it sold for over three billion at an auction ..."Yes, the speaker was Felton, also known by his designer alias, Camerson Jones. He continued with a smile, "Ms. Fischer rarely designs gowns, but when she does, her designs are exquisite. I can't imagine what this client can possibly ask for if she's not content with this design."Following this, several other for
This was her first time kissing him in secret, but she was bold in doing so. Jamie wasn't in the office, but she could come in at any moment as they were in public.However, seeing how Cedric insisted on staying with her until he fell asleep on the couch, her heart melted. His breathtaking features lacked the usual seductiveness and majesty. With his eyes closed, it gave him a childlike, innocent appearance instead. His lips were enticing, and she felt it would be a mistake not to do anything to him. Without hesitation, she leaned in for a kiss. The soft sensation caused her heart to race, and she licked his lips. It tasted sweet, which was exactly the taste of the man she loved. She smiled and was about to move away when a hand reached out to hold her head in place. Shocked, her eyes widened, and she panted when she met Cedric's enticing eyes. "Oh no! I've been caught! My cool image is gone!" she thought. Faye blushed, and her breath quickened. She instinctively tri
When Faye arrived at the office well past midnight, the entire building was still well-lit. The offices of the CEO and chief designer on the top floor were particularly luminous. Faye strode toward Lincoln's office and heard him shouting as she entered."What else do you have to say for yourself? Landon, I regret telling Ms. Fischer to give you a chance. I should have told her that you're narrow-minded, dim-witted and that you'd do anything to undermine me!"Landon's expression darkened as he raised his gaze. "What are you trying to say, Lincoln? That I'm responsible for this?" He sneered. "Why would I do anything to jeopardize the reputation and future of Light Moon Designs? Do you take me for a fool who doesn't know between right and wrong?"Lincoln scoffed and glared at landon. "Who else could it have been? There are only a few of us who know about this. When Ms. Fischer inquired about your reliability, I assured her that you're dependable at work and would never mess aroun
Reading the comments that criticized Light Moon Designs, Faye smiled and put away the tablet. She then turned to look at Lincoln and Landon. "What are your thoughts?" she asked.Lincoln calmed down and took a deep breath before responding."I agree with you, Ms. Fischer. Allure Designs intentionally timed their new product release to coincide with ours. Over the years, they've been in competition with Light Moon Designs, but we've always been ahead of them. "Allure Designs can't compete with us in terms of brand position and market reach. The only thing they have over Light Moon Designs is the high price of their products."He continued, "To justify these prices, they openly pledged to exclusively offer Cameron's designed dresses in limited quantities, a move that considerably restricts their expansion and growth."While branding products as limited editions could indeed elevate their prices, the limitation in quantity would naturally decrease their profit margin.In contrast,
It was practically impossible for someone not to take action when faced with relentless attacks from others.Faye smiled as she leaned back on the couch. "I have my own plan. Since they want to drag Light Moon Designs down, let's first feign ignorance and wait until tomorrow."With that, Faye got up and walked out of the office. Lincoln, on the other hand, was becoming increasingly anxious—especially when he saw the situation escalating on Facebook every time he refreshed the page. Topics related to Light Moon Designs had increased to five or six with every refresh. At this rate, Light Moon Designs could be in serious trouble tomorrow. "Ms. Fischer ..." Lincoln hurried to catch up with Faye, desperately trying to keep her there.At that moment, Landon returned from the restroom. When he saw that Faye was leaving, he asked nervously, "Ms. Fischer, where are you going?""Home." Faye crossed her arms, her tone indifferent. "This time, our enemy came well-prepared. The situat
