Second Marriage

Chapter 389 Encounter

“However, Lexi has been in the entertainment industry for many years. She has won the best actress

and has a high position. Ada has noticed this point. Ada, you should have learned about Lexi before,

but I can tell that you have imitated her former dresses. There are some details of your design that are

very similar to the dress that she wore before. Ada, in our industry, we can learn from other designers,

but we shouldn’t copy them.”

When Ada heard her words, she was embarrassed and said, “I... Maybe it is just a coincidence. I…”

Alice said, “Chloe, the concept of your design is good, but you are limited by your previous style. As for

Winnie...”

Winne immediately straightened up and looked at her stubbornly.

Alice smiled and said, “It’s good, but there are some mistakes. And its details are not quite exquisite.”

Hearing her words, Winne was angry.

“You!”

“And Noah…”

“Stop it!” Noah suddenly interrupted her and looked at Alice with a smile.

“Miss Alice, boss, now I know that you’re professional. Please don’t embarrass me. Don’t go on talking

about my design draft.”

Then Alice looked at the last draft.

“Where’s Hugo?”

The work handed in by Hugo was the only one that satisfies her. However, the style of his design is

dark. Although it is beautiful and charming, it made people uncomfortable and depressed when they

see it.

It should have something to do with his own character.

“Hugo didn’t come to work today.” Chloe replied to Alice, “He has something to deal with in his family.”

“Has he asked for a leave?”

“Yes!” Chloe said, “I’ve helped him ask for leave this morning.”

Yanis nodded and said, “It is true. I forgot to tell you about it.”

Then Alice put the drafts in the folder.

“If you don’t need me to on comment your designs, you should know what to do next, right?”

Noah and Winnie were a little embarrassed and didn’t say anything. But Rachel was very angry with

Alice. She clenched her fists and glared at Alice.

“As you know, we don’t have much time to make this dress. Before your designs meet my command,

you have to stay and work overtime today.” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

They didn’t say anything, but they were very dissatisfied.

“The meeting is over now.”

After Alice left, Rachel lost her temper.

“Damn! What an arrogant woman! She has kept blaming us. I don’t know if she is pretending to be

professional.”

Winne glanced at her and said, “What Alice said is right. It seems that you haven’t learned about Lexi

before. She has entered the entertainment industry for many years. It’s stupid for you to design a girly

dress for her.”

“I...” Rachel saw Ada, who was blushing, and suddenly said, “Even if my design is worse, it is my own

work. I’m not the kind of people who imitate others.”

Ada looked pale when she heard what Rachel said. She held her design draft tightly and bit her lower

lip hard.

Ada suddenly turned to stare at her fiercely.

“It’s just a coincidence. Your design is so bad. Why do you dare to satirize me?”

Before Rachel could say anything, Ada picked up the folder and rushed out of the meeting room.

Noah said, “Ada!”

He also got up and left the room.

Alice returned to her office with the design drafts. When she sat in her seat, she stretched out her hand

and rubbed her eyebrows. She felt helpless when she met her members.

Yanis brought coffee to her and complained, “They are outstanding designers. But why are these

designs so bad?”

Hearing her words, Alice raised her eyes and looked at her.

She explained, “They are elites. I have known their previous works. The style of Rachel’s design is

lively. Ada lacks creativity and always imitates others’ design works. Winne is too careless and the

details of her works are not perfect. Noah has a strong personal style in his designs. Chloe is similar to

Rachel. In fact, they have their own styles. Sean is not good at handling details. But Hugo…”

“He asked for leave today. He was an aloof and detached person. I think his works are a little strange.”

Then Alice put down her coffee. She took out the draft submitted by Hugo before and then checked it

carefully again.

“Isn’t it strange? Although the overall design seems to be very delicate, it made us feel depressed.”

Hearing her words, Alice nodded and said, “I guess that it has something to do with his experience.”

“His experience?”

At this time, Alice’s phone rang on the desktop. She took a look at it and then answered the phone.

“Hello, this is Alice”

It was Grace who called her. Grace smiled and said, “Sorry, Shelly, I called you so early, haven’t I

bothered you?”

Alice glanced at the time and found it almost noon since the meeting was over.

It seemed that Grace got up late.

Thinking of this, she replied gently, “You haven’t bothered me, Miss Lam. We will serve customers all

the time.”

“Well, I thought of some material that I want to add to my dress. Are you free this afternoon?”

Afternoon? Alice nodded and said, “No problem, I’ll meet you in the afternoon.”

“Okay. Let’s meet at two o’clock in the afternoon. I’ll send you the address.”

Alice hung up the phone. Yanis asked, “Is that Grace?”

“Yes. She asked me to meet in the afternoon to discuss the design of her dress.”

“Well, I have works to do now. I’ll go first.”

Grace hung up the phone and took out the invitation post in the box on the desktop.

It was an invitation to a business party, which would be held after a long time. She had heard that

Kennedy would attend the party. She believed that he would be attracted to her when he saw her in her

favorite dress.

At this moment, Melissa suddenly pushed the door and came into the room.

“Grace, what are you doing?”

“Mom?” Grace quickly put the invitation back into the box and got up with her phone.

Seeing that she was still wearing pajamas, Melissa looked at her helplessly, and then stretched out her

hand and rubbed her forehead. She said, “Did you get up just now? Got to wash up and change your

clothes now. Annie has come to our home just now.”

“Is Annie in our house?” Grace’s eyes lit up when she heard Melissa’s words. Then she asked shyly,

“Does Kenney come with her?”

Melissa knew her daughter very well. She smiled and said, “They come to visit you.”

Would she meet Kennedy again?
