    Lucy had never been so troubled before over her design.


    Koven had told her before that most designers get their inspiration quite suddenly. She needed to make sure that she had post-it notes on her at all times to capture these sudden shes of inspiration.


    He even told Lucy that there were times when inspiration hit him just before he went to sleep at night and caused him to be sleepless for the next few nights.


    Racking her brain constantly would not get her inspiration, and Lucy finally understood this after thest few days. She decided to use Koven''s way of doing something to rx when she had no inspiration.


    Lucy picked up a book to read, but she felt it was too boring. She decided to pick up her brushes to paint something. It had been a long time since shest painted, and the brushes felt a little unfamiliar in her hand. However, she slowly regained the familiarity of the brushes.


    She painted the flowers in the garden, and they came alive under her paintbrushes. Even though Koven often praised her designs, Lucy found herself struggling thest few days. Things were not as easy as Koven had imed.


    Lucy realized that painting could temporarily fill up the emptiness she felt from having ack of inspiration.


    Koven had given her a challenge. He wanted her to design a gown that would surpass the one she had modified in half a month. Lucy thought this would be easy, but she was met with difficulties the moment she started work.


    Lucy could hardly design a gown that would be as beautiful as the one before. She realized all her inspiration had been given to it.


    She ced the gown on her bed and stared at it. She picked up her paintbrushes and began painting again.


    The petals on the flowers were wrapped tightly as they had not bloomed. Lucy could imagine butterflies flying around it...


    A vast expanse of ck required some brightening up, much like those pretty flowers...


    The old, rickety fence surrounded the budding flowers in a closure to be admired.


    Lucy suddenly thought of something. If she wanted to disy beauty, there was no need to be so reserved, just like these flowers that reached out with their stems.


    The long gown was able to


    entuate the elegant bodyline of a


    woman, but it felt like something


    net


    was missing. The skirt had to be tightened around the hip, and the puffy sleeves had to be removed to showcase the pretty shoulders.


    Lucy decided this was it. She tossed aside the painting in her hand and began work on the gown.


    Another request of Koven was for her to create additional essories on the gown toplement it.


    There were many types of

    embroidery, but adding on too much


    of them would just make the gown


    too dreary. Lucy looked at the gown she had designed before and realized what the problem was.


    For gowns to showcase sexiness and an alluring charm, embroidery would be too old-fashioned. It would not match the theme at all. Usingce would just make the gown look out of sorts.


    That meant that she had to get rid of both elements.


    Lucy thought about it and cut off the cloth at the back. It made the gown look much better.


    Shepleted the gown ording


    to her idea. The gown was halfway there, but she was already quite satisfied at this point. Lucy finally understood how Koven felt when he got anxious trying to realize his inspiration.


    When inspiration hit, she had to stop everything else she was doing. Otherwise, inspiration would escape from her.


    Matthew arrived home while Lucy was admiring her work.
