Chapter 413
“Isn’t that normal?”
Evon had already gotten used to Pennleigh signing contracts with a few designers over the years. Although he had been losing some business because of this, it was rather harmless.
“But the designer is Halwanese. Director Sergeant has shown me some of her designs before. It’s just… They look petty. Don’t know where she found the courage to put those works out for others to refer to.”
Hesper had just put her belongings away and come out of her office when she heard these remarks.
“Guys…” Hesper stepped forward and stopped Andris and Evon. “Excuse me, the Halwanese designer that you were just talking about… It’s me, isn’t it?”
Evon had not been taking this matter seriously at first, but Hesper’s behavior seemed a little rude to him,
“You don’t really understand oriental culture, so it’s only natural for you to not understand the charm of oriental elements in fashion design.” Hesper seldom argued with others, but she still uttered each and every one of the following words with great emphasis. “If you can’t show my designs any respect, then I don’t think you’re in any position of commenting about them.”
A burst of applause came from the side.
The three of them looked over at the same time, only to see Pennleigh standing in the corridor. None of them knew how long he had been there.
“River is right,” Pennleigh said. “Our aesthetics shouldn’t be confined to only one idea. What our company seeks are sparks formed through the collisions of different cultures. Instead of making irresponsible remarks here, I’d prefer to see you guys speak up with your works. It just so happens that I was looking for you. Now that you’re all here, I’ll make the announcement.
“This is River A., a new designer that our company just hired. She has a very unique understanding of how to integrate oriental elements into her designs, which are very ingenious too. So, we’ll be working together from now on.”
When she heard what Pennleigh had to say, Hesper instantly knew that he was trying to provide. her with a smooth withdrawal from the heated argument that she had just made. Her originally irritated expression softened, and she nodded to the two of them.
“This is Andris Delacroix, a veteran designer working for our company.”
“And this is Evon Etienne, the current chief designer of our company.”
