In the Sheffield Garden, Eleanor Sterling and Faye Sterling were each seated on opposite sides, waiting for Adeline Sheffield to arrive.
Faye shot Eleanor a contemptuous glance and sneered, "Sister, sorry, but you’ll never surpass me."
Eleanor looked at her coldly and couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Catherine Chapman, sitting nearby, scoffed, "Boss, this time it has to be us, getting to be the chief designer for the Sheffield’s daughter’s coming-of-age party. Some people are just here for the ride."
She was full of provocation and hardly took Eleanor seriously, feeling certain that Thea’s Jewelry would definitely win.
Faye kindly suggested, "Sister, maybe you should leave first? Lest it gets embarrassing later."
Eleanor turned to look at Faye, her eyes narrowing slightly, and lazily replied, "Are you so confident you can win?"
"Of course! My mentor is Anne Adler!"
Upon hearing this, Eleanor nodded sincerely, "Hmm, that’s impressive, but having an impressive mentor doesn’t necessarily mean the apprentice is impressive too."
Faye thought Eleanor was just putting up a brave front, though she was surely worried inside. She curled her lips into a smile, "Just wait and see."
At this moment, Adeline Sheffield walked over with her assistant, breaking the subtle tension between the two.
Since this was the second meeting, Adeline was much more familiar with both of them and didn’t bother with pleasantries. He directly said, "This time, I’ve invited the two companies.
The main purpose is to look at the initial design drafts, which I’ll present to Xinya who will choose and finally decide who will be in charge of her design."
It’s just a formality now; afterward, he’ll tell them that because both designs are equally outstanding, there’s no way to decide on a winner, so both will be used.
Faye signaled to Catherine with her eyes, who immediately took out the design draft and handed it to Adeline’s assistant.
She wore a proud expression. The design she used this time incorporated her school’s unique patented embedding technique.
Unrivaled in existence, Eleanor was bound to lose!
The assistant first opened Faye’s design draft and handed it to Adeline, "Sir, this is Thea’s Jewelry design draft."
Adeline took it, visibly impressed. Faye truly lived up to her teacher’s reputation; the jewelry design was elegant and graceful, filled with a sweet aura.
With that unique embedding technique, even just on the draft, it made him imagine how stunning it would be if made into a real piece.
Catherine, seeing Adeline’s amazed expression, immediately stepped forward to brag, elaborating on that unique technique.
Adeline nodded in satisfaction.
Anne held Eleanor’s design in her hands, feeling very uneasy. Eleanor had said to let her handle everything for this one and not worry.
She actually didn’t know how Eleanor’s design would turn out. She secretly glanced at Eleanor, seeing her composed demeanor, her worry eased slightly.
Over there, after Faye’s draft was completed, it was time for Eleanor’s.
Eleanor looked to her side, "Anne."
Anne immediately snapped back to reality and handed their design to the assistant, Zhao Ning.
Before Zhao Ning could take out the design, Catherine couldn’t help but mock.
"Ha, this kind of amateur design, how can it compare to our Thea’s Jewelry? If they truly use her design, it might just end up embarrassing everyone."
Faye couldn’t help but smirk.
What good thing could Eleanor possibly design? Not to mention the patented design she used, even speaking of the gemstone’s quality, Eleanor couldn’t achieve it, right?
If she could design something stunning, she’d eat her own design on the spot!
Zhao Ning handed the design to Adeline, who lowered his head to look.
The next second, his entire body froze on the spot.
Seeing Adeline’s reaction, Faye frowned, "Mr. Sheffield, what’s wrong? Is my sister’s design disappointing? After all, she’s not professional, she..."
"No! It’s not!" Adeline’s gaze remained fixed on the design draft, unable to tear his eyes away.
Witnessing his dazed expression, Faye too looked over curiously.
The next moment, her entire body also froze in shock. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novęlfire.net
