Chapter 567


    Estelle listened to them talk while gobbling down a te of cakes. Bored, she leaned against the


    window and yed games.


    Hannah saw Mr. Mayfield take a call and head towards the corridor. She got up to follow him, wanting


    to ask for his thoughts on fashion design.


    Watching Hannah leave, Alice turned to Carme in a low voice, “Look, Ms. Sampson seems free now.


    Let’s go and meet her!” Carmeughed lightly, “Sure!”


    The two of them made up a random excuse to leave as well,


    Miya watched Alice’s retreating figure and snickered quietly. She said to Inman, “She’s such a social


    climber among us. As a designer, in the end, it’s your work that matters most!”


    Inman knew that Miya and Alice were good friends superficially, but they secretly looked down on each


    other, so she just smiled and said nothing

    Carme and Alice approached Magdalen. Carme smiled and called out, “Ms. Sampson!”


    Magdalen was chatting with some friends when she heard someone calling her name. She turned


    around, her eyes narrowing slightly. annoyance in her voice, “Yes? Can I help you?”


    “Hello, Ms. Sampson. I’m Carme!” Carme greeted her sweetly and affectionately.


    Magdalen looked coldly at her, “I don’t know you. What do you want?”


    Carme’s smile froze, unsure of what to do. Finally, she opted to tough it out, “We met at the charity


    auction a few days ago, remember?”


    “What do you want? Just say it!” Magdalen said coldly.


    Four or five people were standing around Magdalen, curiously watching Carme and Alice. They


    looked at them with disdain, seemingly considering them as brown-nosers.


    Alice looked a bit embarrassed and turned a questioning gaze to Carme, who imed had


    connections with Magdalen.


    Carme was also embarrassed, not expecting Magdalen to be so hard to talk to. Forcing a smile, she


    said, “You’ve misunderstood! This is my friend Alice. We both work at Snowy Studios. We saw you


    here and wanted toe over and say hi.”


    Magdalen looked indifferent, “Well, you’ve said ‘hi’, haven’t you?”


    Carme’s face turned red with embarrassment, awkwardness, frustration, and confusion. It was true


    that she didn’t have any close rtionship with Magdalen, but they had met before. Even as strangers,


    when she took the initiative to greet her, she shouldn’t be treated so coldly and humiliated!


    She had the faint feeling that Magdalen had a strong hostility toward her. She thought carefully about


    their previous encounter but couldn’t recall where she might have offended her!


    Whispers spread among the onlookers, their faces full of ridicule as they gossiped about Carme.


    She, too, was a daughter of the Macin family, and had never been treated like this before. Carme


    endured her anger and


    further!” embarrassment, struggled to maintain her politeness, “It seems Ms. Sampson is busy, we


    won’t disturb you any


    After signaling to Alice, they turned around and walked away.


    As soon as Alice turned around, her face darkened, “You said you knew Ms. Sampson, right? And that


    she was greeting you earlier. But she doesn’t seem to know you at all!”


    Carme’s face was tight, “I’ve met her before, but I didn’t expect her to be so arrogantly overbearing.”


    Aliceined in a low voice, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have evene over. So embarrassing!”


    Carme bit her lip, her face looking troubled. Just as she was about to say something, she heard


    Magdalen call out from behind them, “Wait a minute!”
