The next day afternoon, Jean just sent off some customers in the exhibition when she spotted Arthur, who was wearing a suit, walking towards her.
A bunch of questions ran through Jean’s mind “What is he thinking? Why does hee to the exhibition? Hasn’t he promised me that he will not disturb me when I am working? Where does he get the ticket? Doesn’t he need to participate in hispany’s business activity?”
Jean had introduced the jewelry in which the customers were interested, from design concept to materials, all in great detail. She was quite thirsty by now and her heels seemed to be abraded by her shoes. Feeling exhausted, she ignored Arthur deliberately and sat in the nearby chair.
But the deputy manager noticed Arthur at the first sight and he couldn’t wait to greet Arthur. “Hi, Mr. Hudgens.” Jean restrained herself from rolling her eyes. She didn’t know the deputy manager sometimes could be such a snob. Ever since she told the deputy manager the true identity of Arthur, he began to treat Arthur with apletely different attitude.
“Mr. Hudgens, I don’t know youe to this exhibition.” The deputy manager chatted with Arthur, while Jean was still sitting in the chair, seeming indifferent. The deputy manager thought confusedly, “Why does Miss. Does Jean ignore Mr. Hudgens? Though she is the daughter of my boss, Mr. Hudgens is still one of our potential customers since he hase to the exhibition. As the designer and the one in charge of Lorlene Jewelry, she is supposed to greet him and introduce our products to him. Besides, I think she has an intimate rtionship with Mr. Hudgens. Why is she giving him cold shoulder?”
As for Arthur, he waspletely attracted to Jean, who was ying on her phone on the seat. She had dressed up for the exhibition with delicate make-up and exquisite jewelry. As a means to advertise the products of Lorlene Jewelry, Jean wore aplete set consisting of a pair of eardrops, a ne, and a ring, all designed into the shape of a waterdrop and made up of sapphire. The tender blue matched perfectly with her white skin and the waterdrop-shape design emphasized the gentleness of women. Jean had always been a quiet girl and the jewelry of cold color set off her traits even more, charming and gorgeous.
While Arthur was lost in infatuation, many customers hade to the stall to consult the information on the jewelry that Jean was wearing. Jean got up at once and introduced the products to them in detail. The deputy manager should also help so he apologized to Arthur, “I am sorry, Mr. Hudgens. It’s quite busy now. You can take a look around. I wille to youter.”
“Oh, it’s okay. I can just wait.” Arthur backed away and continued to look at Jean with a gentle smile on his face. He knew Jean was also an expert in psychology and when she was working as a psychiatrist, she looked professional and reasonable, with clear and unique insights. But it was the first time that Arthur got to know her as a jewelry designer. Standing afar, he could hear her introducing each product the customers were interested in, her voice calm and gentle, just like her personality. Arthur could tell that she didn’t have much passion for the jewelry industry but he must admit that she was doing quite well: she designed every piece of jewelry attentively and the final products look innovative and fashionable.
Essentially, Arthur and Jean were alike. They were the type of people who would try their best to make things perfect, no matter whether they love them or not. It was the attitude that Jean had when working in the jewelry industry. However, her dream job had always been a psychiatrist. Thinking of these, Arthur feltpassionate for Jean since he really hoped she could do the thing that she truly loved.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
The customers quickly left but not before ordering several sets of jewelry: four sets of the same style as Jean was wearing and several others. They were full of praise for Jean and her designs.
Jewelry was a luxury and with so many sold at one time, the profit must be huge. Therefore, the deputy manager became excited and kept giving Jean the thumbs-up. “Miss Jean, I have attended many exhibitions with your father but, I have never seen such a satisfying sales volume like this. It would take several days to reach the sales volume before. It’s all thanks to you, Miss. Jean. You are brilliant!”
Though the deputy manager was speaking highly of Jean, she only gave him a cold nce. She didn’t forget that it was the deputy manager who had been drunk yesterday and kept calling her Jeannie. So, he knew he should call her Miss Jean. If not because the deputy manager had lost control yesterday, her nickname would never be noticed by Arthur. Worse still, Arthur began to call her Jeannie too, and right before Arthur arrived at the exhibition, he had texted Jean, “Jeannie, I miss you.”
Therefore, Jean was quite angry with the deputy manager. But being overexcited, the deputy manager didn’t notice that Jean was actually giving him the cold shoulder, and he kept saying, “Miss Jean, you are definitely a talent. When we are back in thepany, I will persuade those who are against you, and I will tell them that each of your designs has sold like hot cake in this exhibition. Wait, we can’t forget about your design concepts. So many customers are deeply impressed by your design concepts. I believe this exhibition will be the turning point for our Lorlene Jewelry!”
Though Jean was indifferent, Arthur heard clearly what the deputy manager said and it surprised him to find that there were people against Jean in thepany.
Jean’s assistant said furiously, “Those stupid idiots will shut up once they see the sales volume. They will know Miss Jean is the best!”
The deputy manager supported her, rubbing his hands together, “You’re right. Once they see the sales volume, none of them will dare to criticize Miss Jean anymore.” But then, he sighed, saying, “I have to admit our older generation can’t keep up with the trend. Our vision is limited and our suggestions be out-of-date. This world is a world for young people, I guess.”
“You are being overly humble. The older one gets, the more experience he has. Your experience gathered all these years teach me a lot.” Jean said politely. Though she was indifferent to his raving about her, she didn’t think the deputy manager should underestimate himself, which was the reason why she would say something like that.
The deputy managerughed at her words and said, “I have never heard you praise me like this, Miss Jean. I am nearly shy.” What the deputy manager said was true: Jean was an introvert and she had never been keen to socialize. But many employees mistook her for being arrogant thusining about this to their top boss, who was Jean’s father. That didn’t change Jean at all. Therefore, even though some people are discontent with her, they dared not tell her directly.
Only after a while did the deputy manager remember that Arthur was still waiting for them. He came to Arthur hastily and apologized, “I am sorry, Mr. Hudgens. I keep you waiting for so long. Would you pleasee and take a seat here.”
Arthur said smilingly, “Actually, I also want to purchase some jewelry for my mom.” Upon his words, Jean nced at him coldly so Arthur hastily exined, “It’s nearly her birthday, so I want to buy her a birthday gift.” It wasn’t his excuse but he really needed it. He was a filial son and he would buy his parents gifts for birthdays or festivals, no matter how busy he was.
