Chapter 207
Taking a glimpse at Leah, Sage asked, “Nervous?”
“Yeah!” Leah felt her throat going dry. “This is the first time that my designs are being revealed to so many people. What if they don’t like it?”
She then looked at Ada, the Head of Design, and said in a low voice, “I am even forced to compete with my mentor. This is almost a public punishment, don’t you think?”. Ada, on the other hand, glanced at her coldly and replied, “Sweetheart, your career only started out for not even a full year and you’re already competing with me, the country’s chief jewelry designer. If anyone should be nervous, it should be me, don’t you think?” Leah thought that what Ada said made sense and she felt reassured. Leah then tried to comfort Ada, “Keep your shirt on, teacher. I’m sure you’d win.”
Ada was rendered speechless. Holding back the urge to lash out at Leah, she looked at Leah before turning to Sage and said, “How is she the only tame and naive one in your family that is full of cunning foxes?”
Sage smiled, “She’s still young and there’s still much for her to learn.” Ada could only roll her eyes. In the meantime, Jace was making his way to Salem City. He was watching the product press launch event in the car. He felt slightly disappointed that Sage was nowhere to be seen at the press release. Sitting next to Jace, Zayne was taking notes as he studied Jace’s expression closely. Finding the right time, he then said, “Miss Sage had always preferred a low profile and she usually avoids public appearances and being in the spotlight. Perhaps she wanted to avoid having any gossip between her and Seth Hector.”
After all, the picture of Sage having a meal with Seth was spread all over the internet and if she were to show up in public, people would be able to recognize her easily.
If another gossip or rumor were to break out once more, Zayne would have to suffer the wrath of Jace’s bad mood.
Jace did not say anything but the furrow between his eyebrows eased a little as his eyes were still fixed on the screen.
The results were finally revealed.
At the sight of the final result, there was an uproar from the crowd, mostly, they were puzzled and surprised.
“Two final designs?” Indeed, there would be two final designs. Staring at the screen displaying the two different styles, Jace was suddenly reminded of the conversation he had with Sage at the rose exhibition.
“So which flower do you think would prevail in the end?”
“It doesn’t matter. What matters is the type of flower that I like.” “In fact, the three types of roses were already approved by the market, and no matter the type of roses that is chosen, the results would be the same.”
“I agree that we should consider the opinions of the current market but you’re mistaken about one thing. Norah Jewelry had never followed any fashion trends. To be exact, we are never the followers, we are the trendsetters.”
And Sage was right.
Curling up the corners of his lips while tapping his fingers on his knees, Jace had his eyes fixed on the two pieces of jewelry with two different styles.
Both of the products were also named. One was named ‘Key to My Heart’ and the other was named ‘Queen of Hearts’.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
