Chapter 1872
There was a dead silence in the office, and no one dared to speak out their anger.
Abby said all of this gently, but when she smilingly dumped the designs into the trash can, a chill stole over her employees.
Everyone was worried about themselves.
It seemed that they still needed to fight day and night for some time.
It was not until Silvia closed the door that everyone dared to talk in a low voice.
Most of them complained about not being able to return home.
One of them patted a designer beside him and reminded him, "Stop complaining. Take the time to draw!"
Hearing this, the designer nodded. "Well, if I can design something that Miss Amery likes, I win a decent bonus. Perhaps, she will allow me to sign on my designs if I can get her appreciation!"
However, the other designer scoffed at his unreal expectation. "Don't be stupid! See Miles over there? He has served Miss Amery for many years. Previously, Miss Amery promised to let him claim his designs when she took his works away. Not long ago, Miss Amery presented some works for winter in a brand fashion show, and the leading pieces of work were from Miles..."
After that, he pointed at Miles sitting before them by the paintbrush.
Then, they both shook their heads and sighed. They did not dare to expect too much and continued to draw.
However, Miles, who was sitting in front of them, did not take up his brush.
He jabbed his glasses, picked up the folder in the drawer, and took out the design drawings from it. He narrowed his eyes and stood up, heading towards Abby's office.
At this time, Abby was sitting on a high- back chair in her office.
As soon as she entered the room, the smile on her face faded a little.
There were a few designs scattered on the table.
Her two perfectly groomed eyebrows deeply furrowed.
These were selected designs over the past few days, but they were far from enough to satisfy her.
Abby had seen Tina's designs and knew her ability very well. She did not dare to look down upon her opponent. That was why she craved excellent designs.
Seeing Miles knock on the door and come in, Abby raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Miles handed over the design drawings in his hand and stood respectfully in front of the desk. He nodded and said, "Miss Amery, I have finished some new designs. You will be satisfied after taking a look!"
Abby sat up straight and said, "Really? Show me!"
After glancing at the design drawings, she came alive.
She was astounded.
Miles was not surprised at her reaction at all. When he opened the folder, he was captivated by the designs inside on the spot. So he had expected Abby to show such an expression.
Ten minutes later, he came out of the office.
After returning to his seat, Miles knocked on the table with a pen and said in a clear voice, "You don't have to work overtime. Miss Amery has gotten what she wants!"
Everyone was stunned by his words, and then they felt delighted by the news.
Someone who was familiar with Miles came forward and said, "Will she use your works this time?"
"Yes!" Miles nodded. Then he paused for a moment and said with a casual smile, "She is very satisfied with the design. She has confirmed it with me, promising me a big reward. Besides, I can sign my name on my works."
His colleague shook his head and reminded him. "Don't be too naive. She didn't do what she had promised last time!"
Miles narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint flitted across his pupils. "It won't happen again..."
His colleague was confused. "What did you say?"
Miles just said lightly, "Nothing!"
The man shrugged without asking more about it. Like everyone else, he happily packed up his things to leave.
Finally, they could leave this damn place and go home to rest.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the final round to choose who would earn the qualification for the GDA International Fashion Exhibition.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the servants had already cleaned up the table in the dining room and placed some fruits and snacks on it.
Lin said a little chat with Old Master Amery and then went upstairs. When she returned to the room, she met Ab by, who was about to go out. She had dressed up very formally today.
Seeing this, Lin asked, "Abby, is today the final round?"
"Yes!" Abby nodded and asked her with a faint smile, "You will also be there today, right? How about going with me?"
Lin, known as a master of design, enjoyed a high status in the fashion industry. How could she not be invited to such a big event?
However, since she recommended Tina and had a close relationship with Abby, she would not be the judge for the sake of fairness. Instead, she was invited as a distinguished guest.
Lin said, "I may be a little late. I'll go there before the selection begins!"
Hearing this, Abby nodded with a smile. "Then I'll go out first. I have to make preparations in advance!"
"Yes!" Lin nodded.
Abby, with exquisite makeup, behaved gracefully and adequately. There was a hint of wild ambition in her arrogant eyes. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
With the amazing designs she had obtained, she felt her selection was in the bag.
Abby had carefully compared them with Tina's previous works over and over again. This time, she was sure that she could defeat her and win.
Her red lips rose as she walked down the stairs briskly.
Behind Abby, Lin looked at her receding figure in a trance.
She thought of the favor that Tina asked her to do not long ago...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the final selection began.
The competition place was located on the 12th floor of the International Exhibition Center where the Grand Fashion Design Contest had been held. The venue had been arranged last night. Not many people were invited because it was a semi-public selection within the fashion industry.
In addition to the busy staff, the people in charge of the garment association also arrived.
Lin was ready to come over. After handing the invitation letter to the staff member at the gate, she did not rush in but waited at the door.
She was lost in thought, her mind occupied by something.
After seeing Tina coming out of the elevator, Lin calmed down a little and smiled.
Tina walked up and greeted her. "Lin!"
Susan, Wilson, Terry, and the two employees of the STS Studio were with her.
They went to their workspace backstage to make preparations.
From Tina, Ab by, and the other designer, the designer with the most outstanding works would be chosen.
When it was time to display their works, they were informed to go on stage one after another.
Everyone in the workshop was busy, but everything was in order. At this time, models had lined up. Susan was busy checking them one by one. She walked between the models and then made an OK gesture to Tina.
Tina nodded seriously.
Wilson, still wearing the silver- rimmed glasses, leaned against the makeup mirror on one side with his hands in the trouser pockets. He appeared gentle, cultivated, and relaxed.
He didn't disturb Tina during the whole process, but his eyes were glued to her.
