A Promising Youth novel Chapter 10

A sudden appearance of me in the conference room caused an instant uproar. The pretty girl looked up mulishly, with her eyes staring at me in confusion.

I hastened to explain, “I'm the clothing designer of Blue Butterfly Company. Miss Clara took the wrong design, and the true on was locked in my office. Miss Clara, I forgot my key, please go over and open the door for me.”

“Where do you come from? How can you get the wrong drawings for such an important meeting?!”

The foxy woman, who was instantly reluctant, looked at the leader indignantly as she held up her low-cut dress and said.

“Director Lau, if Miss Clara is so sloppy, she should be disqualified from bidding!”

I was sure that Director Lau would not disqualify us, because the purpose of his visit was to get a better costume design, and the one given by JL Company was obviously still flawed and did not satisfy him.

Director Lau pinched his brows and gave Clara a nonchalant look and said.

“Go get it. If you can't get it in 10 minutes, close your factory yourself!”

Although the words were harsh, he clearly gave us a chance, but Clara was about to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak, but got up and came towards me.

At that time, she was wearing high heels, light blue long shirt and a professional short skirt. Her two straight long legs were delicate and fair.

After hurrying out of the conference room, I hurriedly said,

“Sis, it's urgent, we only have 10 minutes, so hurry up and get me pencils, paints and a palette, 7 base colors, just the most common kind.”

“Who are you? Who's your sister?!”

She grabbed me and pinned me right up against the wall, asking in a particularly exasperated manner.

“Where the hell did you pop out of?!”

“I...”

At that moment she was particularly close to me, her whole body was close to me, and she had still that familiar scent of magnolia flowers. Blushing, I said, trying my best to suppress my wildly beating heart.

“I'm a new designer, a vice president of the company recruited me in.”

“Nonsense, why did he recruit staff now?”

Gritting her teeth, she looked at me with mixed emotions and tears in her eyes.

“And you! Do you know how demanding this design is? If I really can't get something out, I'll have offended people all over and make me a fool!”

I pressed myself against the wall, trying not to look at her delicate cheeks, and taking a deep breath, I said anxiously, “Miss Clara, we’ve 10 minutes. All hope was in those 10 minutes, so don't waste any more time, okay?”

She froze for a moment, then hurriedly let go of me and began to walk.

“Right. There's still hope. I can't just give up! If we can’t have that project, the company is going to be taken over by JL Company. It's my mother's property, I can't let it be ruined in my hands!”

She walked fast, and her heels were stomping on the ground.

I followed her and found her legs were so beautiful, fair and straight, and her heels were beautiful and noble.

Then she went into the office. There was a girl inside. She panicked and paced in place.

“Nancy, hurry up and get my drawing tools ready, I'll use them right away!”
