With a scowl, Matthew snatched the sketch right before Lucy''s eyes and flung it at Richard''s face. "No, absolutely not! This sketch is uneptable. Redesign it."


    Richard took the sketch off his face with confusion as if he was seeing Matthew for the first time. "Why not? Isn''t the sketch nice?"


    He was truly puzzled.


    Matthew had just said that everything was up to him and that he trusted his vision. Why was it that as soon as Richard finished his sketch, Matthew said that it was uneptable?


    Matthew red at Richard and said, "What''s so nice about a draft that took 20 minutes to draw? Go draw another one."


    That was not what he said earlier!


    Lucy was getting even more confused. She thought that the dress was pretty nice.


    Despite the sketch only taking 20 minutes, the design incorporated fashion elements from all over the globe, which Lucy quite liked.


    Lucy glowered at Matthew, but there was nothing she could do to refute him.


    The Italian man was perplexed by the American man''s unpredictable preferences. Aggrieved, he put the first sketch aside and continued working on the second one.


    While sketching, Richard was even more attentive this time. He was determined to satisfy the two picky clients in front of him.


    After he finished his sketch, he confidently handed the draft to Matthew and Lucy.


    Lucy took a look and was pleasantly surprised.


    The dress Richard had just sketched was a two-piece dress. The upper part featured beautiful puffy sleeves adorned with pearls, while the skirt fell just past the knees.


    The two pieces were connected in the middle with two ribbons that gently flowed down the hem, giving it a cute and yful look.


    Lucy imagined that wearing this


    outfit to the event would surely let her outshine all the marrieddies there, making her the youngest and most charming woman among them.


    Although Lucy was happy with the dress, Matthew did not seem to agree. He handed the sketch back to Richard, indicating for him to redraw it.


    "What?"


    Richard was even more speechless now. Why was Matthew being so fussy?


    It was a nice dress, but he had no choice as the customer was always right. Thus, he drew another one.


    It was one sketch after another... All were rejected by Matthew.


    Richard''s expression darkened. "Signor Leon, I know you''re my muse, but you can''t be so unreasonable. You have to tell me what''s so wrong about these designs?"


    Matthew was taken aback, unsure of what to say. His prolonged silence only fueled Richard''s growing dissatisfaction.


    Recalling the first dress, Matthew firmly shook his head. "No, that one won''t do!"Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "In that case, you have to tell Richard what''s wrong with it so that he can make the amendments," Lucy persisted. Exasperated, Lucy wondered if Matthew had been a CEO for so long that he expected others to just read his mind.


    If his subordinates could read his thoughts, they would have be CEOs themselves and invested in their own ventures, no?
