Selena spotted Anastasia in the reception area and felt a pang of guilt. But she didn't show it. Instead, she gave Anastasia a look, signaling her to leave. But Anastasia pretended not to see it. She copied her work and still wanted her to leave?
Instead, Anastasia turned to Wendy and said, "Wendy, let me get you another cup of coffee."
"Okay, thanks," responded Wendy. Then she turned to Selena, "You really are the top designer, I love this piece. I was wondering if you could design a pair of earrings and a necklace for my daughter's birthday next month. I want to give them to her."
"Anything to make you happy, Wendy." Selena said with a smile. "Earrings and a necklace, no problem. Just tell me what you want and I'll make sure you're satisfied."
"I have complete faith in your abilities," Wendy said as she packed up the jewelry box. "I've heard from friends that your designs are usually lavish, but this one is very simple and delicate. It's quite classic."
The simplest things were often the most exquisite and classic. Wendy didn’t like things that were too complicated or flashy.
Selena glanced at Anastasia, who was standing to the side, and accepted Wendy's praise without blinking an eye. "I guess it's just that as I'm getting older, I've come to appreciate the simpler styles."
Wendy joked, "Selena, you're such a jokester. You're so young and beautiful and you say you're old? That makes me ancient."
"Your skin is so good, Wendy. If I didn't know better, I'd say you're in your twenties."
Selena praised Wendy lavishly, and Wendy was very pleased. Selena successfully secured another order.
When Wendy was gone, Selena's expression changed instantly. "Anastasia, I don't think there's anything for you to do here today. You can leave."
