Chapter 1866
After a long while, Tina shifted her gaze from the models to Abby, who was standing beside her.
She tilted her head slightly and abruptly asked, "Miss Amery, how much confidence do you have in winning a place in the GDA International Fashion Exhibition?"
Abby was stunned.
It was an unexpected question. But soon, she smiled.
Abby said slowly, "It was important for me and the headquarters. So I will do my best. I believe good things come to those who wait!"
She looked elegant and had a hint of appropriate humility in her tone, which was very much in line with her public image.
When Tina heard this, she said sharply, which was rare, "Is that so? Well, I say it will be a 99% chance!"
At this moment, her eyes were filled with confidence and even some arrogance.
Abby's expression froze.
Not far away, Lin came back after answering the phone. Tina regained her calm and gentle look.
When Abby saw Lin, she finally came to her senses and slowly raised her red lips. Once again, she put up that elegant smile.
However, she quietly clenched her fists in shadows even more tightly.
Before the GDA International Fashion Exhibition, victory seemed assured, or it could be said that she had the result in her hands.
But now that Tina had stepped in, she suddenly couldn't be sure of it.
She felt bad!
After separating from Lin, Tina didn't go home. Instead, she sent a message to Susan. After learning that she was still in the studio in the south of the city, she immediately turned and headed for the studio.
When she came out of the elevator, the office was brightly lit.
The other employees had already gotten off work early. At this time, only Susan was in the office.
Tina thought that she was working overtime. However, when she went in, she found that she was reclining on a swivel chair, talking on the phone with a headset. Her tone was very soft and barely audible. She seemed to be talking some sweet words to her lover.
The light shining above softened her handsome face.
Tina leaned against the door and raised her hand to knock. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing the sound, Susan finished her murmurs in a few words. Then she sat up straight and cleared her throat with embarrassment. "Ahem!"
Tina smiled at her flustered reaction.
She walked in, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite her.
Susan quickly put her phone back into the drawer and asked seriously, "Tina, why are you here at night?"
After a pause, Tina spoke up...
After hearing what she said, Susan stood rooted to the spot, her eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in disbelief, "Tina, are you serious? All Abby's works were done by the designers she hired! Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Tina nodded and said, "Well, I asked Wilson to find her secret out. Abby has kept a design team for five years. There are many designers to work for her alone!"
When she took Isla to visit the Amery family, she met the design assistant, Silvia, before she left.
At that time, Isla bumped into her. The drawings in Silvia's bag were scattered onto the stairs.
Tina found it strange because designers were used to signing their names on the right bottom, even on the drafts. However, she saw no names on those pieces. Besides, their design styles varied. Obviously, it was not from one designer. At least, not all of them were from Abby.
It was weird. All of a sudden, Tina recalled some words from Susan.
In the finals of the Grand Fashion Design Contest, Abby copied Susan's works and won everyone's favor. So Tina came up with a bold idea and asked Wilson to investigate it for her.
After all, Abby had done something similar.
Tina paused for a moment and continued, "Originally, I was a little uncertain. I was afraid that I would think too much and wrong her. But today, I accompanied Lin to watch the show of her publishing the new works. Well, the clothes on those models... I can be sure that they were not done by her. She just made some small alternations!"
Susan, who had always been a woman of principle, couldn't help swearing, "F*ck!"
"I knew it. Abby was once praised as a genius girl in the fashion design business. Bah! How could a person who copied my design in the competition be capable of gaining so many achievements? No
wonder she has been so highly praised in recent years. In addition to her relationship with Lin, her many creative works have contributed a lot..."
Susan was especially indignant and agitated. "But it turns out that none of these works belongs to her. It's because she has a supporting team behind her. All she has to do is take the hard works of other designers as her own. She's far inferior to those who plagiarize! It's disgusting!"
Tina also felt ashamed.
She thought that Abby brought shame on her counterparts.
Tina's eyes were clear, and she asked in a calm voice, "Susan, she had stolen your works. Do you want to take revenge for that?"
"Of course I do!" Susan nodded vigorously.
So far, she could not let go of this matter.
There was a rule of the Grand Fashion Design Contest that all designers had only one chance to sign up for it. At that time, Lin begged her to forgive Ab by, so she did not pursue the matter with Ab by. But as a result, she could never join in the Grand Fashion Design Contest.
Tina said, "Let me help you!"
There were burning flames in Susan's eyes. "Tina, are you sure you want to do this?"
Tina smiled and said, "Of course, I applied to join the GDA International Fashion Exhibition just to make things difficult for her!"
Speaking of which, since Abby had tricked her twice, it was time for her to do it.
They had a heated discussion about it.
Before leaving, Tina landed her gaze on Susan's hair.
Susan, a little uncomfortable under her gaze, rubbed her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tina said with a smile, "Susan, your hair gets longer!"
Susan's eyes flickered. "Yeah, I've been trying to keep my hair long. I'm not going to cut it!"
Susan had a head full of short hair. As her hair grew longer, her head looked fluffy, which softened her chiseled features a lot.
Moreover, Tina found that she no longer insisted on dressing in a neutral style. Though she did not change a lot, she seemed to have become more of a graceful lady.
Thinking of the phone call that Suan had just made when she came in, Tina cocked an interrogative eye at her.
Susan couldn't bear her gaze any longer and confessed honestly. In a shy voice, she said, "Oh, it's Terry. He likes me with long hair. Besides, he suspected that I only like women if I stick to wearing my hair short. Well, I have to prove that I indeed like men..."
Tina burst out laughing.
In the evening, Wilson came back from his business appointment a little later.
After taking a shower and drying her hair, Tina sat at the head of the bed in a daze, thinking about what she had discussed with Susan at night.
The sound of an electronic lock came from the entrance, followed by steady footsteps. Wilson walked over, pushed the door open, and entered the master bedroom.
Tina was immersed in her thoughts, so she didn't see him coming. It wasn't until a shadow covered her eyes that she saw Wilson's extremely handsome face.
She pulled herself out of her thoughts. "Oh, you're back!"
After drinking some red wine in the evening, he looked slightly drunken and was gazing at Tina with those intense misty eyes.
Wilson pinched her earlobe. "You were lost in thought. What were you thinking about?"
Tina smiled mysteriously. "I was plotting something
bad!"
Hearing this, Wilson raised his eyebrows and looked out of the master bedroom. "Is Isla asleep?"
Tina nodded. "Yes, she fell asleep!"
Wilson took off his suit jacket and shirt and threw them away.
He leaned over, lifted the quilt, and pounced on Tina like a hungry wolf.
In an instant, the atmosphere turned intimate and electric.
While Tina, like a defenseless lamb, could find no place to avoid him. She gasped for air and said shyly, "Hey, but I'm not talking about this bad thing..."
