Chapter 629


    In Ste’s studio…


    The employee was introducing the structure of the studio, the disy and arrangement of goods, article


    numbers and the ounting procedure to ine, while ine listened to it carefully.


    She hadn’t experienced these matters. After a short while, although ine’s eyes were still fixed on


    that girl, her mind had drifted to the milk tea store across the street.


    ine only came to her sense when she spotted someone was waving her hands in front of her eyes.


    The girl asked, “Have you remembered what I said just now?”


    ine replied with uncertainty, “May… Maybe.”


    Judging from her expression, the girl could tell that ine didn’t remember it. She heaved a long sigh.


    When she prepared to reintroduced it, a customer walked into the store.


    The girl told ine, “Take a seat over there. I will restate it to youter.”


    “Okay, thank you.”


    ine obediently walked to the sofa and took a seat.


    After a short while, a stunning beauty who was wearing a pair of sunsses walked into the store.


    A sales clerk immediately walked over and greeted, “Lady, do you need my help?”


    The woman took away her sunsses, “I want a customized ring.”


    “Okay. Please follow me to the lounge and I will record your requirements in detail.”


    “It’s too troublesome. I want to meet up with your boss.”


    The sales clerk replied, “Sorry, Lady, this is our procedure.”


    The woman wrapped her arms in front of her chest, seeming to be dissatisfied, “What’s wrong with it?


    Can’t you change your procedure? Moreover, aren’t you doing business? Your t should be serving


    and satisfying your customers. Come on, do you need me to teach you this?”


    The sales clerk was in a dilemma when she heard the words. After a while of hesitation, she said,


    “Then please wait for a minute, I will ask about my boss’ opinion.”

    The woman groaned a nasal soundzily. She walked to the sofa and then sat down.


    The one sitting opposite to her was the sleepy ine.


    The woman crossed her fair legs, put one elbow on the arm of the sofa and then looked towards


    ine, asking, “Are you also here for a customized product?”


    ine, who was yawning, shook her head, “I’m working here.”


    There was a slight change in the woman’s expression. She looked up and down at ine to study her


    dressing.


    Maybe she was bewildered that ine, who wore luxury articles from the top to toe, was actually


    working here.


    She guessed there might be something wrong with ine’s mind.


    The sales clerk walked out of the office after a short while, “Lady, our boss is waiting for you in the


    lounge. Let me take you there.”


    The woman groaned a simple answer nonchntly, picked up her bag and stood up.


    After her leaving, ine stretched her armszily and yawned again.


    After leading the woman to the lounge, the sales clerk closed the door and made coffee for them.


    The woman sat opposite Ste, “Are you Ms. Radomil?”


    Ste curled her lips into a light smile, “Hello, how should I address you?”


    “Just call me Freya.”


    “Okay, Freya, what kind of ring do you want to customize?”


    Freya leaned against the sofa and smiled, “I have a habit. Whening to a designer, I’d like to talk to


    him or her first, and I will only ask the designer to design jewellery for me if I like his or her temper.”


    “I heard that you won the first prize in the Young Designers'' Contest four years ago, but you gave up on


    the opportunity to go to Paris for study, right?”


    “Yes.”


    “Why?”


    Ste maintained a polite smile on her face while replying, “This is my private and it’s inconvenient to


    tell you about this.”


    Freya chuckled, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me about this. In the designers’ contest held several


    months ago, you defeated many capable designers, many of which are senior to you, and won the first


    prize. How do you feel?”


    “If I’m modest enough, I may say that I was so lucky that those seniors all lost their usual skills that day.


    However, since you’ve asked the question, apparently, you don’t want any simr answers. I can just


    tell you that it’s because of my ability.”


    Freya didn’t expect to get such an answer from Ste and she was stunned. After a pause, she


    chuckled, “I’ve seen your works. Indeed they’re inspiring, but it’s not enough to prove that you defeated


    them with your ability.”


    “There’re a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Likewise, people may have different


    opinions andments on one work. I didn’t get the approval of all judges of the contest back then.”


    “I agree with you on this point.”


    Ste asked, “Do you have any other questions?”


    Freya raised her brows, “Of course. To be honest, I’m very curious about you. So naturally, I have


    many questions.”


    Right at this moment, a sales clerk walked into the lounge with two cups of coffee.


    Sensing the weird atmosphere of the room, the girl was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the


    cups and left the room.


    Ste said, “It’s fine to talk about work-rted matters. But if what you want to know about is my private


    affairs, I have to say sorry that our talk has to stop here.”


    Freya picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip of it, “Rest assured. I will just talk with you about your


    works.”


    She paused and then continued slowly, “What’s your opinion on Modesty’s works?”


    Ste paused, and she didn’t reply.


    Freya put down the cup and asked, “Why do you show this expression? Modesty is quite famous in the


    jewellery designmunity. Is it so weird for me to mention her?”


    “Nope. It has nothing to do with the designmunity.”


    “Then…”


    “Let’s talk about the works,” Ste continued, “Now that you’ve asked the question, I will answer it from


    the aspect of design. Modesty had been hard-working and it’s not difficult to find that she has learned a


    lot in Paris. However, her worksck souls as designing was the reason why Modesty designed most of


    her works.”


    “Oh?”


    Ste said ndly, “I don’t know what her design style was like when she was in Paris, and I won’t


    comment on it. However, she had been taken me as her target aftering back to the country. She


    tried to surpass me and suppress me in every aspect. Therefore, the things she designed were all


    based on my works. This was because she wanted to design a better work than mine. In this case, her


    worksck some uniqueness.”


    Freya tilted her head when she heard the words, seeming to be pondering something.


    Ste asked, “Do you have any other questions? Do you like my answer?”


    Freya pulled herself together and smiled, “Almost. Let me tell you the truth. I liked Modesty’s works


    very much when she was in Paris and she was once my exclusive designer. In my opinion, she should


    win the first prize in the designers’ contest. I was very curious about who could win her and get the first


    prize.”


    Ste smiled and didn’t reply.


    Freya continued, “But I also heard that she cheated in the designers’ contest and found someone to


    help her. But I believe that if she could perform normally, she might win you.”


    “Maybe.”


    Freya continued, “Okay, let’s cut the craps. I’m here to ask you to design a pair of wedding rings for


    me. As for the requirements, I don’t know either. But if I like your design, it means the deal is


    done.”
