Chapter 147 Chapter 147: She’s A Designer?
Since she was gentle and lovely, she looked like a young high school girl in this set of clothes, completely different from what she looked like when she wore old clothes and black-framed glasses.
“Where are your glasses?” It was not until after a long time that Tim finally came back to his senses.
Estelle pointed at the dressing room and said, “I’m afraid I’ll lose them, so I put them in the dressing room.”
“I didn’t mean that. I’m asking if you can see clearly without glasses,” Tim said.
Estelle chuckled and answered, “Mr. Roberts, I’m not shortsighted. I can see everything clearly.”
Hearing her answer, Tim was a little speechless. Then he frowned and asked, “Since you are not shortsighted, why do you always wear black-frame glasses? Did you do that to make yourself ugly on purpose?”
Hearing this, Estelle said helplessly, “Mr. Roberts, I heard that you don’t like good-looking women, so I had to do this to get my job.”
For a moment, Tim was wordless.
Standing beside him, Bob couldn’t help but cover his mouth and chuckle.
The next moment, Tim darted a look at him with coldness in his eyes.
Bob was frightened by his expression and stopped chuckling at once. Then he said to Katrina gently, “Katrina, this is Miss Hudson that you just mentioned.”
Hearing this, Katrina looked Estelle up and down with sharp eyes and asked with doubt, “She’s a designer?”
“Yes.”
“What a pity. If she is taller, she would definitely be a supermodel,” Katrina said.
In addition to her, Tim was also gazing at Estelle with his bright piercing eyes.
Being stared at by him, Estelle felt uneasy, so she stared back at him directly.
To her surprise, Tim, who had always been arrogant and rebellious, looked away immediately to avoid her gaze and cleared his throat in embarrassment.
“Ahem.” Tim tapped the table with the pen in his hand and said, “Katrina, if you have any requirements, feel free to tell Miss Hudson.”
Noticing his embarrassed look, Katrina deliberately said with a meaningful smile, “Mr. Roberts, what’s wrong with you? You blushed. Oh, I’ve never seen you blush.”
Tim felt more awkward and immediately denied it, “I’m not blushing. The room is too hot!”
“But it’s only twenty degrees Celsius in this room,” Katrina said as she pointed at the air conditioner in the corner. “It’s even a little cold here.”
“This is a meeting room, a place for talking business rather than for chatting,” Tim said irritably.
“Okay. Let’s get down to business,” Katrina chuckled and said. “I can feel that I made the right choice in choosing Only Love Jewelry. Not only can I order customized jewelry here, but I can also see Mr. Roberts blush, which is a... miracle.”
As soon as she finished her words, Tim, who had a bad temper, stood up and left the VIP room without saying anything.
Seeing this, Bob immediately apologized to Katrina, “I’m sorry, Katrina. Mr. Roberts may have something urgent to deal with, so he left in a hurry.”
Katrina covered her mouth and chuckled. “It’s okay. I can understand Mr. Roberts. I heard he is already twenty-nine years old but has never had a girlfriend. Normally, he behaved like this when he had chemistry with someone for the first time.”
“Then the jewelry...”
“Miss Hudson is a good designer. I will communicate with her about my requirements,” Katrina said.
“Okay. Take your time.” Bob nodded and then went out in a hurry.
After the others left, Katrina smiled and said, “Miss Hudson, to close the deal, you should pass a test first.”
Hearing this, Estelle nodded and said, “Okay. What should I do to pass the test?”
“Design a set of jewelry that matches the clothes you are wearing. In addition to the earrings, necklace, and brooch, you’ll also need to design a hair accessory. Show me your design tomorrow, okay?”
Designing so many pieces of jewelry would take about three days to a week.
However, Katrina deliberately shortened the time limit.
She believes the more beautiful a woman is, the more untrustworthy she might be.
Katrina wanted to see if Estelle, the beautiful designer in front of her, was really as capable as others had mentioned.
However, to her surprise, Estelle said, “Katrina, would you mind staying here if you are not busy this afternoon? I’ll show you the first drafts in two hours.”
Katrina was shocked. “Two hours?”
“Actually, one hour is also okay with me. But I may not have enough time to make the final adjustments, and there may be a minor error in the dimensions of the jewelry,” Estelle said.
“Are you sure?”
Estelle smiled and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can wait here for an hour and see whether I can make it. Nowadays, everyone attaches great importance to high efficiency. If we can do our job faster, we can save a lot of time and do many other things.”
Hearing this, Katrina smiled and said, “You’re quite special. Okay, I’ll stay here and wait for you. If your design can satisfy me, I’ll let you be responsible for the future jewelry design for all my clothes.”
This was a most welcome opportunity for Estelle.
Katrina was a generous client, and her clothing brand would launch at least ten sets of new clothes every season.
If Estelle could have such a big client, she would get a large sum of commission. Plus the orders of other customers, she would be responsible for at least a hundred orders a year and earn a lot of money.
‘Maybe in a year, I will be able to pay back the half a million dollars that Mr. Mysterious has given me for the ring. And maybe, I can get back what belongs to me from York.’
Thinking of this, Estelle felt heartened and went to the empty design studio next door with the drawing board and pencils. Then she was engrossed in her design.
Not long after that, there was a knock on the door.
Estelle raised her head and then saw Tim come in.
Tim walked over, glanced at her, and then his gaze fell on the drawing board.
“This is preppy style?” He asked.
“Not exactly,” Estelle said. “This set of clothes looks like a high school uniform, but many parts of them are of adult style. For example, the uniform skirts are pleated skirts that look lovely while the camel skirt that I’m wearing is made into a sheath dress which looks more mature.”
“I guessed that this set of clothes is designed for girls who have just graduated from university and entered society. Therefore, when designing the jewelry, I considered the characteristics of girls about twenty-two years old and tried to make the jewelry set off both their youth and maturity.”
