Chapter 42
“Don’t know? That puzzled me Ella became a little displeased.
“I don’t know,” Jaden replied, pinching her chin. “If I want to kiss, I will just kiss. Can’t I? If you don’t want me to kiss you, then who do you want to kiss you?”
He seemed a bit fierce, looking like he was angry out of embarrassment
After saying that, Jaden couldn’t resist kissing her a couple more times, almost biting her, which made Ella sore
Ella gave up and murmured, “Jaden, you seem. Ella hinted at something.
Upon hearing this, Jaden immediately pushed her away and sat up straight.
She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Jaden was annoyed by her laughter and felt a strong urge to act on the spot, but then he remembered she was pregnant.
All his enthusiasm seemed to be dampened.
He glanced deeply at her belly and then left directly
time
Ella said. “Jaden, you’re so thin–skinned, looks like I shouldn’t being this up next tim
She rubbed her cheek, nearly laughing herself stiff.
Just then, her phone received a message.
Curiously, she opened it. It was an email from Jenny, inviting her to participate in a domestic fashion show,
This show currently held the highest prestige domestically, featuring many outstanding young designers.
The email read [Dear Ms. Lucia, we sincerely invite you to participate in this show as a judge:]
“Are you going?” Jenny asked her.
“Yes, but I won’t be a judge. I’ll attend as a guest to watch the runway.” Ella said.
“Then you might have to go alone. I have a business trip that day and might not be able to make it,” Jenny said,
“That’s fine, I’ll go by myself,” Ella said.
She wouldn’t refuse such a prestigious fashion show and saw it as a great learning opportunity
The day arrived quickly
Ella concealed her identity, showed the invitation, and sat in the back row, fully focused on the show,
Afterward, there was a banquet. It was like a disguised recruitment event
The outstanding young designers showcased their talents on stage and then waited to be approached. They might have their eyes on specific companies or be hoping for brands to extend an olive branch
Several good domestic clothing brands were there, and she even saw Grace,
She
e didn’t see anyone from the Denison Group, probably looking down on these emerging talents.
After watching the show, Ella had her eye on two people and planned to ask if they had signed contracts with other companies and if they could sign with the Denison Group.
It would be best if they could work as Ella’s assistants!
After the show ended, they moved to another venue for the banquet.
This time. Grace clearly made a lot of progress compared to before, starting to feel more confident and not at all stage–shy.
Ella tried to keep a low profile as it was almost the New Year and she didn’t want any unpleasantness.
She was interested in two people, one named Yale and the other Foster
Both were senior students at the Academy of Fine Arts, getting ready to graduate and start their careers. Foster had come in third in the fashion

show competition, while Yale hadn’t won any special awards.
Yale’s work was inconsistent in style but still very spirited, which Ella liked.
She was about to approach them and recruit them both when unexpectedly, they recognized each other and walked towards Crace together.
Damn! What bad luck.
Ella frowned in disdain. She didn’t know what the three of them talked about, but eventually the two walked away.
I envy you for joining the Rhys Group, Yale said enviously.
Foster, feeling confidens, raised his glass of champagne and patted Yale on the shoulder. “Don’t get discouraged. Il check things out first, and you can join me later.”
Yale uid. “She seems to look down on me…
Yale was a bit discouraged because Grace hadn’t even looked at him due to his lack of awards and had chosen Foster directly.
He tried hard to introduce himself but received only disdainful glances from her, leaving Yale feeling crushed.
“Yale, I know you are excellent, but you have to cater to the marker. That’s just how things are now. You have to learn to adapt
“Adapt
Foster said. “All the world’s literature is a great copy. You copy from foreign big brands, plece it all together, and it becomes your own thing. Only then will it be recognized domestically, and only then will people pay for it. You, on the other hand, are too focused on your own ideas. When others see you’re a domestic brand, no matter how good your design is, they won’t buy it
“Foster… Tale’s face turned pale
Foster said. “Forget it. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t listen. You’re too sell righteous, just wait to suffer.”
Foster didn’t bother to say more and went to Grace
Yale, feeling lost, went to a corner and drank alone. Ella approached him.
*Don’t listen to his nonsense. If designers lose their initial commitment to originality, they cease to be designers. I quite like your designs. Would you like to work with me?”
Yale asked, “Which company are you from?
Ella said, “It’s a small company, just starting out and working independently. The pay isn’t very high, but the key is the great working atmosphere. We don’t support plagiarism and stick to originality. Even if only one customer appreciates it, we see it through to the end. Starting a company is Lough. Are you willing to join us?”
Yale’s eyes lit up. Without asking about the specific salary or company, he said, “Sure!
Ella exchanged contact information with him and looked up to meet Yale’s dumbfounded gaze
He stared at her without blinking, clearly stunned.
“What are you looking at me for?” Ella asked.
Yale said shyly. “You’re so good–looking. I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl before”
This scene reminded her of Jaden.
Yale said, “Are you a star? Why do I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere?”
“Really? Have we met before? Do you always say this to pretty girls!” Ella asked.
Yale said, “No..” He was flustered, waving his hands repeatedly.
Just then, Foster came over and said, “My friend called ine. I have to get going”
Yale went over to Foster, and Foster immediately asked, “Who is that? What were you talking about?”
Yale said, “She invited me to join her company and work with her, and I agreed.”
Foster said, “How much is the monthly salary? How are commissions calculated“”
Yale was puzzled.

Foster said, “Aren’t you afraid of being deceived! Let Grace check it out for you
“Grace” Yale asked, surprised. He hadn’t expected Foster to get so close to the wife of the president in the Rhys Group so quickly.
He admired this social ability.
Foster called Grace over.
Grace said, “It’s a small company. Small companies can barely survive now,”
Foster said, “Exactly. My friend is straightforward, and I’m afraid he might get cheated, so I asked you to check it out!
Foster, a college student full of vigor and sweet–talking, circled around Grace, praising her to the skies.
Grace also took special care of this younger man. Who wouldn’t appreciate a bit of flattery, especially when Foster’s compliments were spot on! Ella was eating and drinking in the commer, but she didn’t expect Yale to bring people over. When she locked eyes with Grace. Ella suddenly felt
awkward.
She regretted hiring this fool.
