Chapter 1858
Abby's face darkened.
Last time, she failed to win Mrs. Holman, and the headquarters was not happy with that.
At the meeting just now, she was forced to give away most of her orders to other designers, two of whom were new, little-known designers. She was greatly humiliated.
The headquarters did so to teach her a lesson.
His cell phone rang.
Abby took out her mobile phone from her bag and said, "Hey, what's up?"
Her voice still sounded elegant and gentle, but her expression was glacial. Anyone who saw the difference would feel shocked.
The girl who called her was also a noble girl from a wealthy family, who was also doing fashion design. However, unlike Abby, who had achieved a lot, she just did it for fun, to kill time.
At this time, she said with interest, "I heard that Lin accepted a designer named Tina as her apprentice. Do you know this? Is it true? Lin is your aunt, isn't she? So, shouldn't she choose you instead?"
Abby hung up the phone abruptly.
She clenched her fists and suppressed the urge to throw her cell phone.
Abby flushed bright red as a spurt of anger flashed through her. She felt miserable.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door.
Then, a foreign man in a suit and leather shoes came in. He looked to be in his forties, with fair skin, deep-set eyes, and hooked nose - he must be an arrogant and sly man who was really hard to deal with.
Abby immediately put up a smile, hiding her resentment and maliciousness deep.
The man was her superior, so she greeted him with a respectful tone, Robert!"
Robert, however, landed his eyes on her messy office desk and said in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Abby maintained her smile and explained calmly, "My assistant was here to fetch something for me and messed it up. There might be something urgent to do, so she left before cleaning it up!"
Robert said, "Oh, but that's irresponsible!"
Knowing that he would not come to her office for no reason, Abby asked tentatively about her purpose, "Sir, why do you come here?"
He walked up to her and said, "At the end of next month, the GDA international fashion design exhibition will be held in Lonton City, the capital of Country Y. I have already asked the headquarters to send you there. Be sure that you can win a place and show your works in the international exhibition!"
Unlike other shows in this country, the GDA international fashion design exhibition would be broadcast worldwide.
Many countries and cities would select their best designers and works to compete in the exhibition. So, the competition would be very fierce. Not everyone was qualified to participate in it.
Robert knocked on the desk with her middle finger and narrowed her eyes with a solemn expression. "Abby, this is your chance to make up for it. Otherwise..."
He did not finish his words on purpose, but Abby was fully aware that he was warning her.
Abby felt tense.
Then, she smiled firmly and promised, "Don't worry, I won't let you and the headquarters down this time!"
Robert nodded with satisfaction and then turned to leave.
It was a warm afternoon in winter, and the sun was hanging high in the blue sky. The air was good.
The mall with a nice temperature was crowded with customers. Tina was sitting by the window with a coffee cup in her hand in the coffee shop on the first floor, admiring the bustling scene outside the window.
This time, she came here early to wait.
However, not long after she sat down, Meadow walked into his sight.
She looked nice and kind with a light smile on her face, and her tone was particularly gentle. "Tina, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No. I just arrived!" Tina smiled and shook her head. She then called the waiter over and ordered a cup of coffee for her. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Meadow tasted the fragrant coffee while looking at her beautiful daughter-in-law, feeling very good.
When she dressed up and was about to go out, Bellamy kept asking her where she was going. He made an excuse to say that he wanted to go out with her, but in fact, he was scheming to follow her out.
Meadow refused her husband without hesitation.
Humph! She would spend some good time with her future daughter- in- law alone and was not prepared to let him share.
Tina looked at Meadow with gratitude, her eyes as clear as water. "I know that you've asked Mrs. Barron to take care of me. Thank you very much!"
Meadow had contributed a lot to help her establish a connection with Mrs. Barron and obtain the chance to compete with Abby.
Meadow, however, didn't take it seriously. She smiled casually. "You're welcome. We're family."
She meant that it was right and proper to take care of her daughter-in-law.
Tina slightly flushed.
She picked up the rectangular box on the sofa next to her and handed it to Meadow, saying with some embarrassment, "When I designed the dress for Mrs. Holman, I also made one for you... I don't know if you like it. Please accept it!" "Is this for me?" Meadow was pleasantly surprised.
Feeling flattered, she reached out and took it. She opened the box and found a slanted cheongsam lying inside.
This oatmeal- colored fine cashmere dress with a simple and classical design was warm and light, suitable for autumn and winter.
Except for these hand- made buttons, the cheongsam was embroidered with some pear flowers, which matched well with Meadow's graceful temperament. She would appear even more dignified and elegant once she put it on.
Meadow could hardly tear herself away from it and cried out of joy like a happy child. "It's amazing! I saw the widely spread photos of Mrs. Holman attending the gathering in her cheongsam. I like it
very much. I didn't expect me to have one!"
She was overwhelmed with joy.
If it weren't for the fact that she was outside, Meadow would have tried it on.
Seeing her like this, Tina no longer felt nervous. "I guess it is the right size. If it's not suitable somewhere, please tell me, and I'll modify it for you!"
"Okay!" Meadow nodded.
She let her eyes linger on the cheongsam for some time before she said happily, "Tina, thank you. I like it very much!"
Tina smiled brightly.
She was such a beautiful young lady with such a pleasing personality! Meadow liked her.
At this time, she thought of her husband. Though he never mentioned it, she knew he was longing to see Tina. Thus, Meadow asked, "Tina, when can you pay a visit to us?"
Well, it was time for her to meet Wilson's parents, officially.
