Chapter 412
Hesper was now holding the draft of a commercial manuscript. Since Pennleigh ran into her in Fredonia, he had been persuading her to collaborate with his studio. Pennleigh thought that she was a very innovative designer, as she had always had her own ideas in design, especially when it came to including some oriental elements in them.
In the previous competition, even Hesper did not dare to take risks with this design element. After all, among all internationally recognized designs, there were too few that had oriental elements, and the recognition of Halwanese people was very low too.
“Why don’t you give it a try? There might not be many precedents that came before you, but perhaps you might be the future.”
When Pennleigh, a man that had a pure foreigner’s look, said these words, Hesper could not help but feel a little weird.
But there was no doubt that she thought Pennleigh was right; design should not have boundaries. But even she got caught up by this statement before this, forgetting the original intention of fashion design.
Since then, Hesper had often been receiving some orders from Pennleigh. The studio’s quotation was not cheap, but it also showed her that her designs were indeed being accepted.
After all, Pennleigh was an entrepreneur, and so was she, so none of them would take on an order that would not make money.
“Come to my studio this weekend, and let’s go over the contract in details. It just doesn’t sound right for you to keep taking orders from me this way.” Pennleigh’s voice sounded helpless through the phone. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away with your money and design draft?”
“Why would you do so? Plus, it’s Eustoma that we’re talking about. How many people would actually kill just to get the chance to be deceived by you?”
Pennleigh acted like a younger brother most of the time, so Hesper could not help but joke around with him. “Okay, then let’s make it this coming Saturday. School has already started for me, so my schedule may not be as flexible as before, just so you know.”
“Yeah, it’s fine by me. Just come here on Saturday. I’ll send you the address… And do you need me to come pick you up?”
