Those who loved her, loved her, but her haters only seemed to increase in number.
Unexpectedly, the best supporting female lead of the year went to Coco.
Despite being a fresh face in the industry, she had already gained a sizeable fanbase due to her
poprity among audiences.
As Coco took to the stage to ept her award, all eyes were on her dazzling dress-its gorgeous,
flowing linesplemented her slender figure. She had never really caught the director’s attention
before, but at this moment, she had made asting impression on many people.
“Where did Coco get her dress from?”
“I’m not sure, but it doesn’t look like it’s from any high-end fashionbel. The most exclusive
dressmakers always contacted us first.”
“Let’s find out.”
Soon enough, Christina’s name came up.
It was rare toe across a fashion designer with such remarkable skills. When news of Christina’s
exceptional talent circted, a throng of female celebrities, including up-anding actresses and A-
listers, lined up outside Radiant Corporation the following day, hoping to catch a glimpse of her.
Gina arranged for Christina to be in the conference room to speak with her potential customers. She
spent the whole morning taking notes on their requirements so that she could start working on their
designs.
Before long, Christina found herself booked with jobs until the next month. As the work orders piled up,
she began to feel overwhelmed.
Gina patted her on the shoulder andforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for two assistants to help
you with the orders.”
In general, group leaders didn’t have assistants, and all the work had to be shared among colleagues.
But since Christina was overloaded with work, Gina decided to make an exception for her.
When Christina exited the conference room, her colleagues from Team B swarmed around her.
“Ms. Steele, I heard that Ms. Tanner wants to assign you an assistant. Will you please pick me?” one
colleague pleaded.
“Choose me! I hope to learn from you!” another chimed in.
“I’m hardworking. I’ll definitely be of great help!”
Christina was pleasantly surprised as it was the first time her colleagues showed such enthusiasm. She
had been striving to earn their respect for so long, and it seemed like her hard work had finally paid
off.

But no matter who she chose as her assistant, it would inevitably cause resentment among the others
who didn’t make the cut.
In an attempt to diffuse the tension, Christina said, “Ms. Tanner will be selecting the assistants. I
wee anyone who wants to lend a hand.”
Her colleagues took the hint and returned to their positions.
Later that afternoon, Gina arranged for Anna and Xenia Darby from Team B to assist Christina.
Anna had been performing welltely, so Gina hadn’t nned to assign her as Christina’s assistant.
However, she offered to assist Christina.
s, Gina epted Anna’s offer.
As soon as Anna entered Christina’s office, the two embraced tightly as if old friends reuniting after a
long time. “We’re back to working together!” Anna eximed.
“Given your skills, you don’t have to be my assistant, Christina said sheepishly. They used to work
together and knew each other’s capabilities.
However, Anna didn’t see anything wrong with the antingement. After all, she felt it was an honor to be
Christina’s assistant.
“It’s no big deal. I saw Coco’s outfit and style yesterday, and it was really beautiful!” Anna said as she
ced the freshly brewed coffee on Christina’s desk.
After a short pause, she added, “I think you’re incredibly talented, and I want to learn from you,”
Christina didn’t reject Anna’. She understood that declining her now would be taken as being insincere.
“All right, thank you for your efforts,” said Christina.
Just then, Xenia entered the room. It seemed that Gif had handpicked her as she wanted to give one of
the top performers at Team B a chance to learn and grow.
However, Xenia was not particrly fond of Christina, who was around her age.
In her opinion, Christina was not that talented because she had graduated from an average design.
school.
Xenia went as far as to specte that Christina’s wealth and fame were attributed to the rumored
support from a wealthy businessman.
Christina did not notice the strange look from Xenia The trio then sat down and started to discuss work.
The first task was to design a dress for the popr actress Orlena Willen who was well-known for her
vintage style.
Halfway through the discussion, Gina notified Christina that an important guest had arrived and
instructed her to attend to the guest personally.
When Christina entered the conference room, she was surprised to see Emilia.
The woman’s outfit was oozing with sophistication and wealth. Even the gemstone ring she was
wearing was worth a fortune.
I haven’t heard any recent news about the Steele family. Why is Emilia able to dress so extravagantly?
Emilia wasted no time in mocking her. “Look at you Christina, dressed like a pauper, while I’m dressed
like a queen. I mean, can’t you see the difference”.
Christina, who usually dressed in a simple and casual style on workdays, was a far cry from the girl’s
morous appearance.
“I heard you’re supposed to be the best designer in Raliant Corporation. I’m not that impressed,” Emilia
sneered.
“There are many talented designers in thepany. You can always choose someone else,” Christina
replied coolly.
Without another word, she began walking toward the door.
Angered by the woman’s tant disrespect, Emilia stood up and yelled, “Did I say you could leave,
Christina Steele? Get back here!”
Christine stopped in her tracks and spoke to Emilia with her back turned. “If you have something to say,
make it quick. My time is precious.”
Emilia climbed the socialdder so that she could show off to Christina.
She wanted to prove that she was just as capable as Christine by marrying a wealthy husband and
living a life of extravagance,plete with an endless array of dresses and jewelry.
“I want to make a dress, and I want you to make it,” she demanded.
Christina ced her hands on her hips and scoffed, Sure, what style do you want?”
As expected, Emilia had a long list of demands for her dress. However, Christina made no effort to jot
them down.
“It needs to be done by this week,” Emilia stressed, even going as far as to specify the exact time she
wanted the dresspleted.
However, Christina refused to give in to her unreasonable demands. “I have a customer to attend to, so
you’ll have to wait in line,” she stated firmly.
“I don’t want to wait. Why don’t you prioritize my dress?” Emilia hissed.
Gina, who had been observing the exchange, decided to intervene. Given their shared surname, she
was able to deduce their rtionship.
“Christina, the boss has instructed us to handle her order,” she whispered.
Christina was initially hesitant, but she had a sudden lea and readily agreed to the task. “Okay, I’ll
work on it over the weekend.”
Gina was surprised at how easily she had given in, considering the heated argument earlier
Satisfied with Christina’s answer, Emilia got ready to leave. However, before she left, she delivered a
parting threat. “Make sure you do it perfectly, or else I’ll ask your boss to lire you,” she snarled.
With that, Christina marched back to her office, her eyes zing with fury.
She sat down at her desk and began sketching out the designs that Emilia had requested.
To anyone watching, it would seem like she was simply hard at work, diligently creating the requested
design. But in reality, Christina was secretly developing a ploy.
Over the week, she delegated some of the more mundane tasks to Xenia to focus all of her attention
on the dress design for Emilia.
