The result of the awards ceremony was no surprise as the coveted best female lead went to Gwyneth.
She was an A-list actress with impeccable manners, but that was only skin deep.
Those who loved her, loved her, but her haters only seemed to increase in number.
Unexpectedly, the best supporting female lead of the year went to Coco.
Despite being a fresh face in the industry, she had already gained a sizeable fanbase due to her popularity among audiences.
As Coco took to the stage to accept her award, all eyes were on her dazzling dress-its gorgeous, flowing lines complemented her slender figure. She had never really caught the director’s attention before, but at this moment, she had made a lasting impression on many people.
“Where did Coco get her dress from?”
“I’m not sure, but it doesn’t look like it’s from any high-end fashion label. The most exclusive dressmakers always contacted us first.”
“Let’s find out.”
Soon enough, Christina’s name came up.
It was rare to come across a fashion designer with such remarkable skills. When news of Christina’s exceptional talent circulated, a throng of female celebrities, including up-and-coming actresses and A- listers, lined up outside Radiant Corporation the following day, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.
Gina arranged for Christina to be in the conference room to speak with her potential customers. She spent the whole morning taking notes on their requirements so that she could start working on their designs.
Before long, Christina found herself booked with jobs until the next month. As the work orders piled up, she began to feel overwhelmed.
Gina patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for two assistants to help you with the orders.”
In general, group leaders didn’t have assistants, and all the work had to be shared among colleagues. But since Christina was overloaded with work, Gina decided to make an exception for her.
When Christina exited the conference room, her colleagues from Team B swarmed around her.
“Ms. Steele, I heard that Ms. Tanner wants to assign you an assistant. Will you please pick me?” one colleague pleaded.
“Choose me! I hope to learn from you!” another chimed in.
“I’m hardworking. I’ll definitely be of great help!”
Christina was pleasantly surprised as it was the first time her colleagues showed such enthusiasm. She had been striving to earn their respect for so long, and it seemed like her hard work had finally paid
off.

But no matter who she chose as her assistant, it would inevitably cause resentment among the others who didn’t make the cut.
In an attempt to diffuse the tension, Christina said, “Ms. Tanner will be selecting the assistants. I welcome anyone who wants to lend a hand.”
Her colleagues took the hint and returned to their positions.
Later that afternoon, Gina arranged for Anna and Xenia Darby from Team B to assist Christina.
Anna had been performing well lately, so Gina hadn’t planned to assign her as Christina’s assistant. However, she offered to assist Christina.
Alas, Gina accepted Anna’s offer.
As soon as Anna entered Christina’s office, the two embraced tightly as if old friends reuniting after a long time. “We’re back to working together!” Anna exclaimed.
“Given your skills, you don’t have to be my assistant, Christina said sheepishly. They used to work together and knew each other’s capabilities.
However, Anna didn’t see anything wrong with the antingement. After all, she felt it was an honor to be Christina’s assistant.
“It’s no big deal. I saw Coco’s outfit and style yesterday, and it was really beautiful!” Anna said as she placed the freshly brewed coffee on Christina’s desk.
After a short pause, she added, “I think you’re incredibly talented, and I want to learn from you,”
Christina didn’t reject Anna’. She understood that declining her now would be taken as being insincere.
