“However, Lexi has been in the entertainment industry for many years. She has won the best actress and has a high position. Ada has noticed this point. Ada, you should have learned about Lexi before, but I can tell that you have imitated her former dresses. There are some details of your design that are very similar to the dress that she wore before. Ada, in our industry, we can learn from other designers, but we shouldn’t copy them.”
When Ada heard her words, she was embarrassed and said, “I... Maybe it is just a coincidence. I…”
Alice said, “Chloe, the concept of your design is good, but you are limited by your previous style. As for Winnie...”
Winne immediately straightened up and looked at her stubbornly.
Alice smiled and said, “It’s good, but there are some mistakes. And its details are not quite exquisite.”
Hearing her words, Winne was angry.
“You!”
“And Noah…”
“Stop it!” Noah suddenly interrupted her and looked at Alice with a smile.
“Miss Alice, boss, now I know that you’re professional. Please don’t embarrass me. Don’t go on talking about my design draft.”
Then Alice looked at the last draft.
“Where’s Hugo?”
The work handed in by Hugo was the only one that satisfies her. However, the style of his design is dark. Although it is beautiful and charming, it made people uncomfortable and depressed when they see it.
It should have something to do with his own character.
“Hugo didn’t come to work today.” Chloe replied to Alice, “He has something to deal with in his family.”
“Has he asked for a leave?”
“Yes!” Chloe said, “I’ve helped him ask for leave this morning.”
Yanis nodded and said, “It is true. I forgot to tell you about it.”
Then Alice put the drafts in the folder.
“If you don’t need me to on comment your designs, you should know what to do next, right?”
Noah and Winnie were a little embarrassed and didn’t say anything. But Rachel was very angry with Alice. She clenched her fists and glared at Alice.
“As you know, we don’t have much time to make this dress. Before your designs meet my command, you have to stay and work overtime today.”
They didn’t say anything, but they were very dissatisfied.
“The meeting is over now.”
After Alice left, Rachel lost her temper.
“Damn! What an arrogant woman! She has kept blaming us. I don’t know if she is pretending to be professional.”
Winne glanced at her and said, “What Alice said is right. It seems that you haven’t learned about Lexi before. She has entered the entertainment industry for many years. It’s stupid for you to design a girly dress for her.”
“I...” Rachel saw Ada, who was blushing, and suddenly said, “Even if my design is worse, it is my own work. I’m not the kind of people who imitate others.”
Ada looked pale when she heard what Rachel said. She held her design draft tightly and bit her lower lip hard.
Ada suddenly turned to stare at her fiercely.
“It’s just a coincidence. Your design is so bad. Why do you dare to satirize me?”
Before Rachel could say anything, Ada picked up the folder and rushed out of the meeting room.
Noah said, “Ada!”
