Chapter 98 The Lottery

Sally giggled and nodded, “Of course, this is all for you.” The elevator doors opened, and they all walked out. Behind them were several interns.

“Wow, that’s impressive. She hasn’t even been a designer long, and she already has followers. Sally Lance and Kellan Lincoln have such nerves. Once someone hits it big, they will come running like a bee to honey.”

“Be quiet. What if she hears you? Brittany Cook was sent home after having a misunderstanding with her.”

“Must be different to have someone backing her, but she is divorced, why would her ex-husband help her?”

“We can’t understand the ways of the rich.”

Their voices were not inaudible; Jean, Sally, and Kellan could hear some of what they said. Kellan’s face was emotionless as she said nothing. Sally, on the other hand, was spirited, “Let me go talk to them.”

She was about to go over when Jean held onto her arm, “How about we go check out my office?” Jean’s eyes were shining as though she had not heard a word.

“Jean…” Sally felt sorry for Jean for she knew that it was because of her hard work that she had come this far, and yet people talked bad about her. At the same time, she also respected her. There aren’t many people that could have patience like Jean.

“They don’t bother me. It actually makes me think that I should work harder to further the gap between me and them.” Jean laughed.

The higher she goes, the colder it would be, but at least she could look down at the insignificant beings below her.

She pushed the door open, and all three were stunned by the view before them.

Jean couldn’t remember the last time she had stood in a place with such a good view. The floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with beige gauze curtains, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. At that moment, she felt like she had been transported back to her old life.

Sally rushed over to the window and exclaimed, “This is great! Are all the offices for MON & Co. designers this good?”

Kellan shook his head with envy, “Mine’s on the inside. All I see are buildings, not this beautiful scenery.”

The two then looked over at Jean and asked at the same time, “Can we come here often?”

Jean looked over at the spacious couch and coffee table and answered as she ate her biscuits happily, “Of course, you can.”

That afternoon, all the MON & Co. designers were in a meeting. Sally, who was still an intern, was not able to attend. When Jean and Kellan arrived, the room was already filled with people.

“The front row is reserved for the chief designers. The other two of the four are Ingrid Bell and Sky Wilton. They have probably just returned for next week’s fashion magazine cover shoot.” Kellan whispered to Jean.

“Fashion magazine?”

“Yeah, the top fashion magazine, Aveline is inviting twelve celebrities to be models. They will be shooting a special jewelry edition. They will probably have the four designers be In charge of three volumes, but they will sure need helpers.” Kellan told Jean.

Jean’s eyes brightened.

I do love these opportunities.

She looked through the crowd, and besides Hansen Young and Monica Weller, who she had seen before, she saw a woman dressed in a black skirt suit, who was probably Ingrid Bell, and to her side was probably Sky Wilton.

She had history with Sky. Sky and she had both trained under the same teacher back when she was applying to study abroad. It could be said that she and Sky were classmates. However, she wasn’t able to go abroad, and she couldn’t force their history on him. Sky had won many international awards and was now the one with the most influence and power among the four chief designers.
