Chapter 66


    Charmine was only able to offer a small yet bitter


    smile; this would not have happened had she came in


    much earlier. As a result, she was stuck with the Ruby


    Red collection, and she felt rather vexed as Tiffany


    snagged the Avocado Green collection. To be involved


    in a showdown with this kind of person was a drag,


    through and through.


    The manager and his assistants could almost taste the


    hostility in the air, but none of them dared to ask too


    many questions. Since this was a showdown, it was


    expected that these two would have some sort of

    tension. As long as the magazine shoot turned out fine


    —that the hype and poprity of both collections


    were high enough and the sales of the Guci products


    did well—they were not concerned.


    Charmine was done with her makeup when an


    assistant pushed out a rack of clothes toward her.


    “Ms. Charmine, these will be your outfits for today.


    The n is to start with thirty-two sets of individual


    portrait shots before we move on to take a joint


    portrait with Ms. Tiffany for the cover photo.”


    Charmine’s gaze swept over the rack. Every piece of


    clothing was a vibrant red, all in various styles. There


    were long skirts, short skirts, dress suits, and


    jumpsuits.


    While the designs looked rather decent, the color on


    these clothes would make anyone feel hot and


    ufortable on a hot summer’s day. Charmine’s


    face was passive and stoic as she carried a set of


    clothes into the changing room.


    At that moment, Tiffany had already changed into her


    outfit and walked out of the changing room. She was


    wearing an avocado green mini dress, the sleeves of


    the same color in a chiffon design. Tiffany looked


    extremely refreshing and matched with a top-knot


    bun, the dress made her look youthful and innocentlike.


    Even the designer praised her, saying, “The


    number one top model is truly the number one top


    model. The soul of the dress is perfectly interpreted!”


    As soon as Charmine walked out of the changing


    room, however, the once cheerful atmosphere soured


    a little as they had a small frown on their faces. It was


    because of the outfit; a chiffon jacket with its longsleeved


    design paired with wide-legged trousers that


    were long enough to cover the heels. Even though the


    outfit was made out of a thin and light fabric, it


    looked hot and stuffy.


    With a frown, the head designer scoffed, “I don’t


    know who decided to design a red collection for the


    summer collection. It’s a waste of Guci’s resources.”


    His co-worker did not respond but sighed deeply


    instead. In her opinion, summer was not merely


    refreshing but also fiery and vibrant. It was a shame


    she had forgotten that the warmth of the red color


    would create a sense of heat and stuffiness.


    Tiffany nced at Charmine, and her eyes twinkled.


    The Ruby Red collection was more suitable for an


    autumn release. s, it was ted for summer’s


    release; no one would buy i t even if Charmine looked


    good in the photoshoots.


    Tiffany sweetly said, “Sister, I’m going ahead with my


    shoot. All the best with yours!” All the best with


    looking ridiculous; that was what Tiffany meant.


    Charmine ignored her and walked toward the


    photographer.


    Designer Bmitey followed her and anxiously asked,


    “This collection might cause trouble for you. Are you


    sure you don’t mind it?”


    “We haven’t even started yet. Are you that certain


    we’d lose? A designer that isn’t confident in her


    designs can’t be a good designer,” came Charmine’s


    confident reply.


    ncing at herself in the mirror, Charmine thought


    her designs were rather excellent. The workmanship


    was excellent, and the material was of superb quality.


    When she walked in it, it looked very elegant and


    even gave a pleasantly resplendent feeling.


    Furthermore, the sleeves were edged with delicate


    see-throughce, and i t subtly revealed the person’s


    arms. It looked refreshingly unique.


    Something was missing, though…


    “I can help you if you want to win, but I’ll need you to


    make some alterations to these clothes.” Once she


    finished speaking, Charmine picked up the scissors


    beside her and started snipping away.


    The entire photoshoot team was wide-eyed with


    shock, especially designer Bmitey! She felt like her


    heart was breaking into pieces. Those were the


    clothes she ved over to create. Each piece was a


    result of her blood, sweat, and tears, yet here


    Charmine was—cutting them!
