Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 181

"I'm sorry but I won't take part in this," Anne refused even though she knew that Trey wanted her to be a professional designer in his company.

"Why? Is it because of Kevin?" he asked.

He wanted to know why she was not willing to cooperate with him.

"Yes, I don't think I'm suitable to work in your company with my identity." Aside from that, she was very close to Kevin now.

"Do you like him?" He frowned.

At his accusing tone, she became defensive and her voice came out as sharp. "That is a personal question. I refuse to answer that, I'm sorry."

"I didn't mean to offend you. I guess I became too excited. I just think that a designer like you deserves to endorse your product on-stage, and not simply work on designs behind the scene." His voice was laced with regret.

"I'm sorry." She clutched her handbag and stood up.

"Are you going to work in Kevin's company in the future?" he inquired further.

"I don't know," she answered and left after she bowed politely.

He looked at her retreating figure and sighed.

"Why didn't you use the high-salary card on her? Our company may not be as famous as the AN Group, but she won't be able to find another corporation that could give her that good offer," his assistant commented.

A faint smile appeared on Trey's lips. "People like her can't be persuaded by money."

After a couple of days, M group released a new series of products at the market in A City.

Its hit product was called 'Rebirth'.

The exhibition stands had been set up in the well-known jewelry stores in the area. The sun that shone brightly was regarded as good luck. The places that couldn't be reached by the sunlight were filled with daylight lamps.

The lights on the display stand illuminated the jewelry. It was a broken-heart-shaped ring with a diamond on the broken platinum. It wasn't a huge diamond, but it was of the best quality in the world.

"Hello everyone! I would like to present to you our latest work, 'Rebirth'!" Trey, the founder of M Group, announced.

One of the reporters stepped in. "Good day, Mr. Trey! That is different work from your previous ones. May we know whose piece that is?" asked the reporter.

"This was made by my friend who did not want to appear on the stage. I would like to apologize because I can't answer your question," he answered and smiled politely.

"If you refuse to tell us whose work that is, does it mean that you haven't got the designer's authorization or the designer has plagiarized the work of others?" The founder did not falter at the bomb that was thrown at him.

"I don't think that she would. My friend always emphasizes the importance of inspiration and creation. She designs for liking, not for fame or fortune. That's why I chose her work as the main piece," he calmly answered.

Since the designer was not announced, the reporters were intrigued by her mysterious identity. They threw questions towards the CEO one after another.

"Your company's work is exquisite this time. Are you confident in the sales it could reach? What do you think of it compared with AN Group?"

Upon the quite intrusive question, everyone fell silent.

"I admit that AN Group is a big international brand, however, I'm confident with our unique designs this time. I think these will sell well." He beamed confidently.

Honestly, he was also looking forward to whether the design from Kevin's ex-wife could beat his company or not.

In the AN Group, Kevin sat on his swivel chair and frowned at the recent sales report.

He stretched his left leg and put it over the other. The glassed table reflected his displeasure.

"What's going on? Why did the sale go down by a percentage?" He cocked his brows at his employee.

Daniel swallowed and tried to calm himself. "Recently, M Group released a series of jewelry. They sold well that their sales have increased by thirteen percent, Mr. Kevin!"

The CEO closed the file and looked at him. "Why do you think their products sold so well this time?"

"I think it's because we have a lot of products which involve real estate, clothing line, perfume, jewelry, and cosmetics. Truthfully, I think we have too many products to cope up with." He tried to keep his voice steady and conceal his nervousness.

"Those are not what I wanted to hear. What I want to know is why our sales dropped while theirs have increased! Tell me, what is their main work this time?" the CEO bellowed.

The AN Group was far well-known than the M Group because they were focused on a variety of products. Aside from that, they had acquired good feedback all over the world. On the other hand, since the M Group was only engaged in jewelry, the AN Group always walked on thin ice and took things seriously.

"Their main work this time was called 'Rebirth'. Reportedly, it was a work from Trey's friend who didn't want to be known." Daniel was trembling as he answered.

"Go and check the background of this designer. I believe that it's not difficult for you. If you fail to find anything out, you're out!" He pointed at the door.

Kevin had planned to use this jewelry to create a momentum for their next work with the exclusive story of Sophia. He wasn't expecting that he would fail this time.
