Chapter 74
Heidi belt confident as the executives sided with her. She took her seat with a sig smile and cast a victorious glance at Janice.
Janice returned the paze with an odd expression of disdain. It was as though Heidi had never been worth her attention.
Before Heidi could react, janice asked, “Ms. Ryan, have you been abroad for so long that you’ve forgotten about crochet tutorials?“.
“Tutorials? That’s old news. Anything can be created with Al nowadays. Tutorials prove nothing unless Unless you can demonstrate it live. That might lend some credibility.”
If what Simon said was true, Janice couldn’t possibly possess such a level of skill if she did, why hadn’t she made a name for herself earlier? Why would she have suffered in silence under Simon’s exploitation?
Heidi’s words silenced the room with the executives exchanging uncertain glances Their scence implied that they too wanted to see if Janice could deliver the crochet design demonstrated, even if just a small part of it
Seated nearby, Janice chuckled lightly. “You’d better do your research the next those you challenge me, Ms. Ryan “.
with that, she propped her hands against the table and pushed herself up.
Heidi clenched her pow. How dare anyone speak to her like that? Janice had no backing and influence she had was just a pretty face,
She’d be to see how sing Janice would be when she failed.
Watching as Janice got up, Harrison quickly instructed the staff to bring in crochet tools.
Once the tools arrived, Janice washed her hands and ignored the crowd gathering to watch. Heidi, the seamstresses, and the executives moved closer and were eager to scrutinize
every detail
After drying her hands, Janice rolled her sleeves slightly and began selecting threads of different colors. She’d worked with such precision that it was clear she’d memorized every detail of her design to the length of the thread.
She took two differently colored threads and twisted them into one in a way so seamless that it was almost impossible to replicate.
With the book ready, Janice glanced at Heidi and uttered in a steady tone. Her voice was audible to “You couldn’t learn this abroad. Watch closely. I can’t promise you’ll have another chance.”
Janice was utterly arrogant, but there was nothing Heidi could say in return.
Janice squinted as her hands moved swiftly to wrap the yam around the book and pull through. Everyone in the room huddled around her, but she turned her back to the crowd. All she had to do was demonstrate the first crochet step, and she wasn’t obliged to teach them the technique when they’d set her up for this trouble.
After five minutes, Janice turned back to face the crowd and laid the piece on the table. “Take a good look.”
The crochet piece was incomplete, but with just a few stitches, it showed the start of the larger piece displayed earlier. Through the small crochet plece, the identical crochet technique on display was flawless.
Gas filled the room. It was astounding
