Upon Louis’ conclusion, the focus shifted.


    “However, the next creation I present is not my own but the brainchild of Millie. Let us extend a warm


    wee as she elucidates its essence.”


    Millie was caught off guard.


    The prospect of delivering a speech was one Millie had never entertained. She had annotated the


    concept and original intent of the piece beside the illustration, assuming that Louis would serve as its


    spokesperson.


    As the realization dawned that no one had taken the stage, the audience’s attention followed Louis’


    gaze, converging on Millie. A palpable pressure enveloped her immediately.


    Louis, with a knowing wink, implored Millie to ascend the tform.


    Faced with this demand, Millie steeled herself and advanced. This marked her inaugural appearance


    before such a multitude, leading to an undeniable surge of nervousness.


    Louis’ raised eyebrows offered reassurance. “Believe in yourself. Anxiety needs not be your


    companion.”

    Millie inhaled deeply, summoning her resolve as she stood upon the stage, cognizant of the fact that


    she had no alternative.


    “Greetings, esteemed audience. I am Millie. The creation I present today is a brooch named ‘Butterfly


    Love Flower,’ fashioned by hand. Measuring 6 cm in length, I have also brought along a finished


    specimen to offer a moreprehensive view.”


    With the microphone set aside, Millie held up the brooch for all to see.


    ‘A nod of approval emanated from the president. Millie’s brooch had captured his favor. A silver flower


    blossomed on a pliable silver stem, nked by a pair of azure butterflies. The piece exuded a robust


    antique allure. The fusion of silver and blue bestowed an air of elegance and allure.


    “Millie’s work is not only visually captivating but also infused with significance.


    The pair of butterflies undoubtedly symbolizes a harmonious partnership.”


    “Indeed. If my spouse were to encounter such a striking creation, she would surely implore me to


    procure it for her.”


    Abruptly, a hand rose among the audience. A voice emerged, “Miss Brown, would you consider selling


    it? I’m profoundly drawn to it.”


    Millie found herself taken aback, though she quickly shook her head. “I regretfully must decline. As of


    now, this piece stands as a singr entity in the world. It shall be offered for sale when it is formally


    introduced to the market.”

    With a congenial smile, Millie continued, introducing an alternative method of adomment.


    “Traditionally, brooches grace the chest. However, they can also embellish a silk scarf. The silk scarf


    itself carries connotations of preserving a person’s essence.”


    A soft purple cloth emerged from Millie’s possession, serving as a backdrop for the brooch’s


    presentation.


    “Wrapping the silk scarf around the arm of someone dear signifies ‘I love you’,


    Millie conveyed.
