Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132 A Pair of Foolish Persons.

Maggie lifted her gaze and noticed Vanessa holding an item. It seemed more akin to an armlet than a bracelet, although it could easily function as either.

The whole armlet was decorated with detailed ancient mythology symbols, featuring the yellow gem crafted to resemble a sun, surrounded by small diamonds that radiated a dazzling glow in every direction.

The sun design was nestled within a curved border, with several dangling tassels hanging from the curved outline, lending a touch of exotic charm.

Though the design was stunning, it was not flawless,

Maggie could understand Annie’s intention behind the design, but she would have chosen different gemstones if she had the choice.

“It’s adequate, but even with the gem’s high quality, it doesn’t quite capture the fiery passion of the sun god and seems to lack some passionate vitality,” she replied in a gentle tone.

After hearing this, Vanessa couldn’t resist a laugh. “Maggie, do you really think Annie’s designs are not up to par with yours? Creating these pieces must have taken a lot of hard work, and criticising them might be seen as disrespectful.”

She couldn’t grasp Maggie’s thoughts. She was clearly intelligent but suddenly seemed preoccupied with her relationship with Joseph.

It’s essential to keep in mind that offering criticism on a designer’s work in their own store would likely be poorly received by any designer.

Additionally, Annie was famed for her defiant demeanour and nonchalant approach.

The designer’s efforts certainly deserve respect, but when the work is displayed, it becomes subject to scrutiny by others. Everyone has different aesthetic tastes, as Ms. Brown admires him but I do not.”

Maggie tightened her lips and cast a glance at Joseph beside her, speaking candidly.

Vanessa was also feeling somewhat angry now, not only because Maggie repeatedly embarrassed her but also because she was disparaging the designer’s work inside the designer’s store.

If these words were to reach Annie’s ears, how could we continue to persuade her to join Luster Corporation?

Initially, Vanessa had hoped to guide Maggie towards contemplating a broader perspective.

Yet, as she gazes upon her now, Vanessa perceives her as utterly unreasonable!

Should the Camerons succeed in securing Annie, it would undoubtedly highlight their competence. However, in the present circumstances, their failure to do so isn’t due to any deficiency in their efforts, but rather Maggie’s disruptive influence.

Looking back, if there were a reckoning, I couldn’t be blamed for this.

With such thoughts in mind, Vanessa felt that the more significant the issue that Maggie stirred up and the worse the people she offended, the better. Then, when she negotiated with another designer to save the

Joseph’s expression darkened considerably. He couldn’t help but feel that it was a huge mistake for Ronald to suggest bringing Maggie along.

He was responsible for the matter, so he should be the one handling it. Now that Maggie had stirred things up, if things didn’t work out in the end, it would seem like his own incompetence.

“What Maggie said makes sense. Perhaps you and Annie have different aesthetics, and you’re not a professional designer after all. You may not understand the concept of jewellery, so it’s understandable that you would think that way, Vanessa speak gently.

Still with a round field, after saying that, she looked at Emily with an apology and said,” Sorry, my friend doesn’t understand these things very well, just talk about his own preferences.”

Emily still maintained a polite smile on her face but couldn’t help but give Maggie a few more glances.

“What about this one? Maggie, what do you think?” Vanessa spoke again, pointing to a green sapphire ring.

The ring continues the line style that Annie loves, but it’s crafted with a folded–paper–like carving technique, creating a three–dimensional butterfly knot.

There aren’t many cute elements in it. On both sides of the butterfly khot, there are drop–shaped green gems set in them, arranged in a staggered manner, making it lively and bold.

“It’s okay, but if I were a buyer, I would prefer to have this butterfly bow slightly folded and wrinkled, making the two gems closer together and giving it more character.”

She knew Vanessa was doing it on purpose, wanting to hear her criticise Annie’s work more to make things unpleasant.
