Chapter 392


    "As for Helen, she has a high status in the entertainment industry. She has been awarded the best


    actress awards numerous times. Gabrie has got the gist of it. You have been paying attention to


    Helen, however... you have imitated her outfits. The hemline and waistline of the dress are very


    simr to the dresses she wore before. Gabrie, as designers, we can take examples as


    references, but it is not wise to imitate others."


    When Gabrielle heard Minerva, the color drained out of her face at once. "I... I might have imitated


    identally, I..."


    Minerva continued, "Jessica''s design is pretty well, but you are too confined to your design style. As


    for Kelly..."


    Kelly immediately straightened her back and stubbornly met her gaze.


    Minerva smiled faintly. "The entire drawing is quite good. In spite of that, you''re too careless and


    you missed out the details."


    Kelly was furious as soon as she heard Minerva.


    "How dare you!"


    "Jordan''s..."


    "Stop!" Jordan suddenly interrupted her and looked at Minerva with a smile.


    "Miss Minerva, Queen Minerva, based on what you said just now, I already know what you are


    capable of. Please do not embarrass us gentlemen. Say no more."


    Minerva''s eyes paused and her gaze drifted to the seat at the very end.


    "Where is Zachary?"


    The young man''s work was the only one that she was satisfied with, but... his work brought out a


    somber aura. Although the piece looked good and could portray Helen''s charisma, it gave people


    an oppressive feeling.


    It was probably because of his own personality.


    "Zachary didn''te to work today." Jessica answered on his behalf, "He must be attending to his


    family matters."


    "Has he submitted a report?"


    "I did!" Jessica replied right away, "When I came this morning, I took care of it."


    Vera nodded. "It''s true. I forgot to inform you."


    Minerva made a sound of agreement and closed the file.


    "If you don''t want me to pinpoint your issues, then you should know how to design the dress now,


    right?"


    Yasmine was the most unhappy one among them, while Jordan and Aaron felt slightly awkward.


    She clenched her fists and remained seated at the same spot, staring at Minerva.


    "You all know that we don''t have much time for this dress, so before you can satisfy me with your


    drafts, you should all stay and work overtime today." A sudden silence fell over the room, but it was


    evident that they were dissatisfied with her.


    "Let''s call it a day."


    After Minerva left, Yasmine hit out atst!


    "Pooh! She thought that she was really something. What she said seemed intelligible to us. Does


    she really know it or is she being pretentious?"


    Kelly nced at Yasmine, saying helplessly, "She was right. You never knew Helen''s past, right?


    She''s been an actress for so many years, and it''s so foolish of you to design a young girl''s costume


    for her."


    "I..." As she noted Gabrie''s flushed look, Yasminemented all of a sudden, "No matter how


    bad my design is, it is my own design, unlike someone... It''s lousy to imitate others."


    As soon as Yasmine finished her sentence, Gabrie''s lips went white. She held her draft tightly in


    her pale hands and nibbled on her bottom lip intensely.


    Out of the blue, Gabrie turned and red at Yasmine terrifyingly.


    "I imitated someone else''s product by ident, yet you can''te up with a good design. Do you


    think you have the right to talk about me?"


    Gabrie then picked up the folder and rushed out before Yasmine had the chance to speak.


    Jordan uttered, "s..."


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    He got up and chased after Gabrie.


    Minerva took the documents and went back to the office. After sitting down, she reached out and


    pinched the pressure point between her eyebrows. These people were really...


    Vera handed the coffee to her, whining, "How could these elites perform poorly? It''s really bad!"


    Upon hearing this, Minerva looked up at Vera and exined indifferently.


    "They are elites. I have learned about their previous work. Yasmine''s design is rtively lively.


    Gabriecks creative ideas. She will always refer to others'' designs. Kelly is too careless and


    tends to miss out on details. Jordan''s work is overly individualistic. Jessica... is simr to Yasmine.


    In fact, they have a defined style. Not to mention Aaron, he has not got into details. But Zachary..."


    "He took a leave. He''s a cold person. In my opinion, his design looks a little strange..."


    As Minerva spoke, she put down the coffee in her hand. She took out the draft handed over by


    Zachary previously and examined it thoroughly.


    "Isn''t it a little odd? Although the overall design seems to be exquisite, every part of it evokes


    depression."


    When she heard Vera, she nodded, replying, "I guess it has something to do with his encounter."


    "What kind of encounter?"


    Just as she finished her words, Minerva''s cell phone on the table rang. She nced at it and picked


    it up.


    "Hello."


    It was Janice. She smiled shyly at the other end, saying, "I''m sorry, Shelly. I called you this early. I


    hope I''m not bothering you, am I?"


    Early? Minerva looked at the time. It was almost noon from the moment they held the meeting until


    now.


    Perhaps Janice had just woken up.


    Thinking about it, Minerva replied softly, "No worries, Miss Lowell. We can provide you service at


    any time."


    "Well, I''ve thought of some materials. I''d like to add them to my gown. Are you free this afternoon?"


    This afternoon? Minerva nodded. "No problem. I''m avable for sure."


    "Well, let''s meet at two o''clock in the afternoon. I''ll send you the address at that time."


    After hanging up the phone, Vera asked doubtfully, "Is that Janice?"


    "Yes, she wants to meet me and discuss the dress."


    "Oh, then I''ll go and get my work done." Vera said and left.


    On the other side, after Janice hung up the phone, she couldn''t resist taking the invitation card from


    the box on the table.


    This was an invitation to amercial banquet. There was still a long time before the banquet. It


    was said that Maddox would attend that banquet. When she appeared in front of him in her new


    gown, he would definitely fall for her.


    While she was contemting, Samantha abruptly pushed the door open and came in.


    "Janice, what are you doing?"


    "Mom?" Janice quickly stuffed the invitation card back into the box, and took the phone as she got


    up.


    Seeing that she was still wearing pajamas, Samantha looked at her helplessly and flicked her


    forehead. "You must have just gotten up. Hurry up, wash up and change your clothes. Auntie Stark


    is here."


    "Auntie Stark is here?" Upon hearing Abigail''s name, Janice''s eyes sparkled at once, and she


    turned crimson. "Then..."


    How could Samantha not know what her daughter was thinking? She beamed, "Abigail''s here for


    you and Maddox."


    Could she and Maddox meet again?
