Second Marriage

Chapter 403 Who Is It

Alice didn’t say anything. She closed the notebook and put it on the table, then looked at other people’s

works and explained the problems to everyone.

“Chloe’s design draft is a little better than before, but it is just a small change. If you want to change

yourself, you can try it boldly. Small changes won’t impact the whole pattern of your design works.”

Alice looked at Rachel’s design draft. Then she frowned and looked at Rachel.

“What’s the matter? I took the time to get to know Lexi yesterday! You can’t find any excuse to blame

me.”

Hearing what she said, Alice smiled gently and whispered, “Rachel, you think I was criticizing you on

purpose last time, so you deliberately vented your anger on your works, right?”

She put Rachel’s draft back to her and said, “Take it back and check it seriously. Don't forget the idea of

a designer.”

Rachel wanted to retort, but Alice didn’t give her the chance. She said, “Winnie’s design draft is good

this time. All the details have been rectified. Please stay and discuss other details with me later. If there

is no problem, we can send the final design draft to the customer.”

Winnie was surprised. She didn’t expect herself to be selected.

She looked at Alice with surprise. But she didn’t say anything. However, Sean, who sat beside her, saw

that she was praised, so he applauded and flattered her. “Winnie, well done!”

“Winnie, Hugo, you stay here after the meeting. I have something to talk to you.”

After the meeting, Rachel rushed out of the conference room first, and others left slowly. Hugo sat still

in his seat with a cold expression.

Jack was next to him. He had been looking at him curiously.

“This man looks cold, but he is very handsome.’ Jack thought.

Winnie looked at Alice discontentedly.

“What do you want to do?”

Before Alice could say anything, she continued to say, “Don't think I will thank you even if you are doing

like this. If you are incompetent, I still won’t like you!”

Alice was speechless.

She glanced at Winnie and then said, “I don’t need you to like me.”

Winnie paused.

“Anyway, just say it.”

“It’s about your design. Although the details are good, there are a few points I want to tell you.”

“Just tell me!” Winnie was unnatural in front of Alice. She was not a person that can be easy to get

along with.

Alice told her some of her advise, and then she asked Winnie about her won thought. how she was.

Winnie said with her eyes wide opened, “You can decide it. Why do you ask me? I …”

“It is your design work. You can decide on it. I’ve told you about my advice, you can think about it on

your own.”

“Hump!” Winnie took her design draft, and then left the conference room.

After she left, Alice’s eyes fell on Hugo

“Hugo, come here.”

Hugo’s shoulders moved when he her voice. After a moment, he looked up at her, got up and walked to

Alice.

Seeing that his lips compressed into a thin line, Alice knew that he didn’t want to speck and she didn’t

force him. Then she put his design works in front of him.

“According to your current condition, you can’t design clothes for the press conference works for the

time being. You should adjust your psychology as soon as possible.”

Hugo looked at the design works. He paused, and finally said in a low voice.

“Can’t I?”

“What?”

“My design works can’t meet your requirements, right? Why do you still let stay here?”

When he finished speaking, Hugo turned around and left.

Alice was stunned. Then she looked at his back and said, “Because you are talented, we are willing to

give you a chance.”

Hugo stopped at this moment. He couldn’t believe that he heard they said he was talented.

He only designed the works of the dark style. Although he was an elite in the design circle, he was not

popular because few people liked what he designed.

But he was short of money.

His family needed the money.

Alice kept staring at his back. He was thin and slim even under the shirt.

“Difficulties are only temporary. There is always sunshine behind the darkness. You have good talent.

Everyone will want such a young talent like you.”

Alice stood up and walked to him. She said, “Of course, if you want to give up on yourself now, then no

one can help you. We have paid you the salary, it means that you have enough time to change

yourself.”

Hugo was just standing still.

Since he was a child, nobody had ever said such a thing to him.

His hands clenched into fists and veins stood out from his forehead.

“Did you go to my home yesterday?”

Alice raised her eyebrow and didn’t deny it.

Hugo turned and his eyes fell on her face. He said, “do you pity me?”

“Pity?” Alice smiled faintly at him and took a deep breath. She said, “I am a designer, and a

businesswoman now. Do you think the businesswomen will pity others? You have thought too much. I

don’t pity you.”

When she finished her words, she looked at Jack sitting in his seat and shaking his legs.

“Jack, come on. It’s been an hour. We have to go back home now.”

“Okay.” Jack nodded obediently, then jump off the chair and went to Alice. He held her hand and looked

at Hugo with a smile.

“Mommy, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Alice left with Jack, leaving Hugo standing alone.

The wind blew the drafts on the table through the window. Hugo looked at his design works and was Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

lost in his thought.

Was he talented?

Was sunshine always behind the darkness?

No one had ever said this to him.

However, how can he step out of the darkness to find the sunshine? Hugo clenched his fists tightly.

“Mommy, he is very cold and he doesn’t look like a normal person.”

Hearing what Jack said to her, Alice recalled the situation that Cindy told her, then she sighed

helplessly.

It was hard to see a person who lived in that difficult situation to have a firm heart. Hugo’s talent was

still needed to be scouted. Although others couldn’t find out his talent, it didn’t mean the same to her.

Besides, she was willing to give him a chance.

When they went downstairs, Yanis suddenly came back to find them.

“Alice! We have a new customer!”

A new customer? Alice looked back at Yanis. She came to Alice. When she spoke, she was panting

heavily and looked pale.
