Secret Bride 167
The assistant held his knee and was in so much pain that he could not straighten his back. "Either the information we received was wrong, or the higher-ups of Eternal Hope and Maeve have been putting on an act and lying to us
Elvira and Fiora's gowns were not of the same standard at all. It was like the difference between a simplified version and an exquisite version.
In other words, it meant that the design that Finesse Bloom had obtained from the beginning was fake.
Karen was even angrier. She smashed everything that could be smashed in the office.
She thought, I've been tricked by that bitch!"
"Ms. Booth, the issue of Princess Elvira's gown has already become a trending topic. If you don't deal with it as soon as possible, the impact on the company-
Karen was furious. "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Why did I spend money to hire you guys? Find a publicist to suppress all the news online and get the designer to send an apology to Princess Elvira to absolve Finesse Bloom of responsibility," The assistant suffered in silence. "Yes."
While the apology letter on the official website of Finesse Bloom was ridiculed by all netizens, everyone on the 21st floor of Eternal Hope was celebrating.
"Let's applaud the great hero!" Leah raised Maeve's hand and laughed. "We won a great battle."
The other designers applauded.
"Oh, I heard that the company's pre-orders have skyrocketed today, and the sales of other series have also increased. It's all
thanks to Maeve."
"Good job. You've done us proud."This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
"Maeve, with Prince Loren's attestation, your path in the future will be much smoother. The doubts and disdain you've suffered these past few days haven't been in vain."
Maeve's face blushed from everyone's praise. She pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly. Thank you, everyone, I've made you worry during this period of time. I'll treat everyone to drinks next week at work."
Leah immediately said, "Shouldn't you give an actor like me a treat? I've sacrificed so much for your show,"
Maeve smiled wryly, "Okay, I'll treat you alone to a week's worth of drinks."
At this moment, Alex walked in. As he greeted the others, he said, "Everyone has worked hard during this period of time. It's Saturday tomorrow. I'll treat everyone to a jacuzzi to celebrate."
The office was instantly filled with cheers. "Mr. Brown is generous.
Alex smiled and could not help but look in the direction of Maeve. Her eyes were curged like crescent moons as she smiled. The dimples at the corner of her lips revealed a sweetness that made his heart suddenly begin to beat faster. He hurriedly averted his gaze, and his ears slowly turned red.
While Maeve and the others were happily unaware, Leah happened to catch a glimpse of it.
She narrowed her eyes and wondered, "Why is Mr. Brown looking at Maeve shyly? Something is wrong
G.
After a while, Alex called Maeve out alone..
Alex said, "Mr. Lambert said that most of the pre-orders today are because of you. There's no lack of royalty and foreign celebrities among them. The remmeration is generous. Ile hopes you can accept them all. I want to hear your opinion" Maeve was stunned for a few seconds. After thinking seriously for a moment, she shook her head and refused.
Maeve said, "I have limited energy. If 1 accept all of them, my career path for the next two years will be confined to customization. It's not conducive to long-term development." Alex's eyes were filled with admiration. "You're just as I thought. There's no need to use up your value quickly for temporary benefits. You still have to cherish your reputation."
If Maeve really accepted those orders and produced a design every one or two months, that would be no different from the wholesale business on the streets. Gradually, her designs would lose their value.
Ordinary designers would not have such a problem, but Maeve successfully made a name for herself with the few gowns designed for Princess Fiora.
From this moment on, she was destined to walk a different path from others.
"I understand." Maeve's eyes crinkled. "That's why I think I'll only accept two custom orders in half a year. The rest of the time. I'll focus on the company's internal series design"
She knew very well that her current reputation was as illusory as fog.
When the state banquet of Erancia was over, no one would remember who she was.
Slow and steady won the race. There was no such thing as instant success.
Alex was very pleased to see that Maeve had thought it through so thoroughly. He chuckled and said. "It's rare for a new designer who has suddenly become famous to be as rational and calm as you."
Then, he asked, "By the way, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"How did you know that Finesse Bloom would steal your design? Why did you happen to have it with you?"
Maeve touched the tip of her nose. "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know? That day, I heard that Finesse Bloom was founded by Karen. Moreover, after her designer replaced my interview on Trend Style Magazine, I had a feeling that she would make the next move. "That's why I deliberately brought the scrapped design draft with me and waited for her to make a move. I didn't expect her to really make a move and declare war on us on the internet with great fanfare."
Maeve did not know that the racer was Horace's friend. Thinking that the design draft was obtained by Finesse Bloom, she assumed that Karen had hired someone to hit her.
Alex could not help but laugh. "What about Princess Elvira's shoulder strap? Was that within your expectations?"
Maeve shook her head. "That was really an accident. The shoulder straps of the evening gown in the design are very thin. The material and craftsmanship requirements are very high. If it were me, I would choose to sew it by hand. Machines are prone to that kind of situation
It was true that the quality control of Finesse Bloom was not up to standard. Even such a basic problemi was overlooked.
For some reason, Alex's heart was beating faster. He looked at Marve's serious expression and gradually became distracted
Maeve still had to make a trip to the Medaniel Group and give the finished suit to Byron. She said goodbye to Alex.
"I was wondering if pigs would fly." Leah walked over and said sarcastically, "Mr. Brown, you've always ignored the company's big and small matters, and are only obsessed with design. Would
specially ask Mr. Lambert about such a
small matter?"
Alex coughed. "Leah, what are you trying to say?"
No one in Eternal Hope knew that Leah and Alex were biological siblings. It was just that one of them took after their mother's surname.
"Let me ask you, do you like Maeve?" Leah asked Alex directly.
Alex was silent for a second. His ears were red as he nodded.
Leah's eyes almost popped out when he admitted it. "Are you serious? Didn't you plan to never get married in this lifetime?"
"That was my original plan." Alex rubbed the back of his head and smiled like a young man who had just graduated from university. "But when I saw Maeve, I felt that if the person I'm going to spend the rest of my life with is her, then I would like to give marriage a chance."
The most terrifying thing in the world was when an unromanticguy started to say sweet nothings.
Leah was shocked and speechless by Alex for a long time. W
