Looking at her dewy eyes, Franklin cast his eyes down and approached, "Honey, I can buy LX for you. What do you think?"
Sylvia snorted, "If I want it, I can get it easily."
With those words, she strode toward her coworkers.
Franklin frowned slightly, wondering what she meant precisely and whether she implied many men would buy it for her to gain her favor.
Sylvia went to Shiloh, who was chatting with their coworkers while holding a glass of wine. None of them had expected Franklin to be the major investor.
Seeing Sylvia come over, Shiloh asked, "Boss, are you Sylvia Andrews?"
"Ms. X, Sylvia Andrews is an online celebrity. We've been working together for such a long time. None of us has seen your face before."
"X, can we take a look, please?"
"Let us see your face."
"X, what's your relationship with Mr. Maskelyne? He seems to care about you a lot."
Several coworkers started to jest.
Amused, Sylvia shook her head. Before replying to them, a woman said in jealousy, "Mrs. Maskelyne is at home. Someone must have done something dirty to get promoted."
"What do you mean, Luz?" Shiloh said sullenly.
"No implications. Just the literal meaning." Luz Craig chuckled in disdain, "Or why did someone scold her in her presence? Would they have cursed her if she hadn't done anything shameful?"
Luz was on good terms with Reina, whose career and life had been ruined.
Since Reina had been kicked out of LX Fashion Company, the design director's position was vacant. Luz had thought she had the competence to become the new design director. However, Designer X had just won a prize and became the biggest obstacle for her to be promoted.
Therefore, she detested Sylvia, thinking Sylvia was too triumphant just because of that prize.
Earlier, she witnessed two women curse Sylvia, so she believed Sylvia must have done something disgusting.
Besides, Sylvia hit on Franklin, the most handsome, influential man.
Luz might have hidden her disgust toward Sylvia well earlier. After seeing how uniquely Franklin treated Sylvia, she could hardly control her jealousy and hatred.
They both were designers, but Designer X seemed to be extremely lucky. She hadn't only won a prize but also attracted the most outstanding man's attention.
Shiloh wanted to retort to her, but Sylvia tugged her arm to stop her. "Let's go over there."
"X, why did you stop me? I was about to curse her." Shiloh angrily followed Sylvia to a quiet balcony.
Sylvia beamed at her. "It's not worth getting even with that kind of woman. Let her enjoy the short victory of winning a verbal fight."
She peered out the window to enjoy the night view.
Besides, her initial goal of becoming an LX designer was to...
Forget it. She brought herself out of her scattered thoughts.
"X, if there's a new design director in our department, it must be you," Shiloh flattered her.
Sylvia shook her head. "I'm not interested."
Although talking to Mike, Franklin paid attention to Sylvia, checking on her occasionally.
Seeing Luz insult Sylvia, he furrowed his brows slightly and was angered by how bold Luz was to humiliate Sylvia.
