-Since the company has arranged it that way, then I will obey it," Mariana replied indifferently.
The director looked at Mariana with great relief.
-It's good that you understand! Prepare yourself well for this mission with Noe Cantero!
Mariana nodded and left the director's office.
Mariana understood that she could not resist the company's decision.
She had to be paired with Noe for this.
There were many things Mariana and Noe did not expect after they started working together on the
design.
Neither of them could talk together at all and there were so many different ideas in play that it was
impossible to move forward.
Mariana was more inclined to go for the soft style, as she felt that this would get the intellectual boil out
of the subject.
However, Noe's thoughts were the opposite of Mariana's, as she preferred the European and American
styles.
Many times, when Mariana exchanged ideas with Noe, Noe's attitude was clear and very hard.
-Mr. Cantero, are you sure you want to use this style of design? -Mariana asked again rhetorically as
she stared at Noe.
Noe nodded earnestly.
-I think that's how this should be done, but why do you have to be such a stickler?
-I didn't go by the book. It's a sensual theme and your designs are very good, but the European and
American styles don't suit Asian women," Mariana frowned and expressed her concern. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
For the first time she encountered someone so stubbornly prejudiced, who only cared about what she
thought and not whether the clothes suited the needs of the public and whether they would be
accepted by them.
Noe helplessly extended her hands toward Mariana.
-It seems the two of us don't agree at all!
The director had been following Mariana and Noe's progress over the past few days, but found that
these two people did not get along at all.
The two also had totally different design styles, and even their opinions differed.
If this continued, it would be very difficult to complete this phase of the design, which has made the
director's head hurt more and more over the past two days.
The director informed Leopoldo's assistant about the matter to see if anything could be done.
-Mr. Castro, these two people have different opinions and different design concepts. I see it very
difficult to continue this project! -The director reacted helplessly to the assistant.
The assistant smiled after hearing the whole thing.
-All right, I'll take care of this. You can leave first.
After the director left, the assistant immediately informed Leopoldo of the matter.
-Mr. Durán, I have something to inform you.
Leopoldo rubbed his temples and opened his sharp eyes to look at his assistant.
-What is it?
-It's the latest issue of the design. Our company invited Noe Cantero and Mariana to do it together, but
the two have different opinions and are not able to talk or do it together at all.
A moment of silence followed in the office.
-Two people whose designs just don't match?
-Well, the manager is having a hard time, he said he thinks there's not much chance of the design for
this item not being completed," the assistant nodded in response.
-It's good to have a difference of opinion and for the two of them to confront each other. Tell the
manager to let them have a fair competition.
The assistant looked at Leopoldo with great confusion.
-Competition?
-We will each market our own suits," said Leopoldo.
Although the assistant was puzzled, it took him only a few seconds to understand what Leopoldo
meant and he left.
Leopoldo looked at the document in his hand and thought of Mariana again.
The director returned to his office with a headache. Why was there always a problem every day?
The assistant, who received the answer, broke the news to the director.
-Since the two are at odds, let each compete for a high volume of sales," the assistant sent the
message to the director.
-Wouldn't that aggravate the conflict between the two? -The director was instantly perplexed.
-Why should they weaken each other? -the assistant asked with a smile on his face.
The director looked at him with some confusion.
-This...
The whole atmosphere became tense as the two discussed.
-There will be a sales competition.
-Sales competition? -The manager thought the term was really strange.
-The idea is that everyone will design their own clothes and then it will be published for people to
choose the one they think is the prettiest. That way the person who loses will be convinced for sure!
The director only had a general idea of what it meant, but felt that the method must work quite well.
-Yes, I'll let you know right away.
The director immediately went to the design area.
They found two people sitting, one to the east and one to the north, neither side by side and neither
talking to the other.
Mariana, who usually gave people the impression of being very friendly, was sitting with a frown on her
face and drawing silently.
-Ahem!
The manager pretended to cough twice and then realized that no one was paying attention to him, so
he had to jump in.
-Here's the deal, right now you'll have a sales competition! You two will publish your designed clothes
and sell them, the one who had the least sales will have to listen to the one who sold the most!
-Okay! -Noe agreed immediately.
Mariana frowned a little disapprovingly, but due to the manager's frantic winking, she nodded helplessly
as well.
-Okay.
After Noe left, the manager admonished Mariana a few more times.
-Prepare yourself well. I'll be back first, and you prepare well for the next few days.
He left Mariana somewhat taciturnly looking at the design drawings.
She didn't like Noe's design concept, which was too ornamental without regard to practicality. But.
Everyone's design philosophy is different. Mariana shook her head slightly.
After a week of preparation, the competition went as planned.
Mariana did not have a model by her side, but took the photos herself with her own design.
On the other hand, Noe specially brought a foreign model to wear the clothes he had designed.
Everyone was eagerly awaiting this sales package.
Pre-sale images of the two had begun to appear on the Internet, and people were rushing to be the first
to see them when they heard the news.
However, after seeing Noe's design, people thought the dress was very pretty, but when they looked at
it more closely, they realized that it didn't fit as well.
