“His girlfriend or his mother?”
The short-haired woman chuckled, “Ms. Jennifer intended to confront the woman, but she somehow managed to have him laughing and chatting with her. They even left together, arm in arm, looking reluctant to part at the elevator.”
“That’s incredible!” The crowd was stunned. “What did she do to win Mr. McMillian over? This is beyond impressive.
The short-haired woman didn’t know exactly what the woman did, but she knew it must have been something special to have captivated Mr. McMillian.
When Romeo walked into the design department with Bella, it stirred up another commotion.
Everyone was shocked to learn that the young lady was none other than Mirabella.
“Hello, Mrs. McMillian!”
“You’re so beautiful, Mrs. McMillian.”
“Are you here to inspect the company, Mrs. McMillian?”
“Before we met Mrs. McMillian, we always wondered who would be good enough for Mr. McMillian.
Now, we finally have an answer.”The design team, mostly younger employees, took the opportunity to rib each other, lightening the atmosphere significantly.
Mirabella greeted them all with a friendly smile, showing no pretentiousness.
“If you have any questions about design, you can ask her, Romeo said, giving Mirabella a warm look.
People were even more surprised.
“Mrs. McMillian knows about design?”
“Mrs. McMillian looks so young. Is she still a student? Is she studying design?”
“Is Mrs. McMillian interested in design?”
“Will Mrs. McMillian join the design team at McMillian Corporation in the future?”
Everyone started bombarding Mirabella with questions.
At that moment, Romeo’s cell phone buzzed. He glanced at it and told the girl next to him, “Excuse me, I need to take this call”
“Sure.”
As Romeo walked away, everyone turned their attention back to Mirabella, bornbarding her with questions.
“Mr. McMillian, how did you meet Mr. McMillian?”
“How did you manage to win over such a cold-hearted man like Mr. McMillian?”
“Can you share some tips with us? I have a crush on a guy too, but he seems unattainable.”
“Yeah, teach us, please.”
In the corner of the design department, two girls sat quietly, one with long hair and the other with short.
They didn’t join the crowd around Mirabella, but instead watched the commotion from a distance.
The long-haired girl twisted a pen in her fingers, her eyes coldly gazing at Mirabella, who was the center of attention.
“That woman is no simple matter. I heard she forced Irene, the HR director, to resign, caused the vice president to be fired, and even turned Mr. McMillian’s office upside down, causing a commotion in the entire company.
And Ms. Maria, who had connections with Mr. McMillian, also got fired.”The short-haired girl gasped, disbelief etched on her face. She whispered, “No way! Don’t the Paisley and the McMillian families have a long history of cooperation? Could it be that this woman got jealous of Ms. Maria’s relationship with Mr. McMillian, hence the office chaos and getting Ms. Maria fired?”
The long-haired girl harbored similar suspicions, so her gaze toward Mirabella was even more disdainful.
Just because she’s young and pretty.
“She’s getting ahead of herself just because she has Mr. MeMillian’s support.” The long-haired girl continued to twist her pen, commenting indifferently, “Anyway, when Ms. Maria was leaving, she didn’t look pleased. It seemed like she was quite upset.”
“This woman seems quite terrifying.” The short-haired girl glanced at Mirabella, suddenly finding the beautiful exterior hiding a venomous character.
“Ms. Maria was just praised by Mr. McMillian last week, and so was Irene. She was just promoted to HR director yesterday, and today she’s fired. Surely, this wornan felt threatened by their capabilities and beauty, and thus eliminated them. We shouldn’t be praising such a hypocritical woman.”
As the long-haired girl finished speaking, she suddenly got up and walked towards Mirabella.
The clicking of her high heels echoed rhythmically, growing closer to her target.
“Mr. McMillian just said that if we have any questions about design, we can consult you.”
When addressing Mirabella, the long-haired girl was not respectful enough.
Mirabella looked up, sensing the hostility in the long-haired girl’s eyes. Was this another admirer of Romeo?The dozen or so employees surrounding Mirabella noticed the challenge in the long-haired girl’s eyes, and they couldn’t help but whisper.
“Sheila, what are you doing? Mr. McMillian is still here!”
“This is Mrs. McMillian, our guest. Don’t bother her with minor design issues.”
“Mrs. McMillian is just here to observe.”
“You should go back to your workstation.”
People were afraid that Mirabella might be clueless about design, or that she might not be competent enough and end up embarrassed.
After all, Sheila was exceptionally talented in design and had won several international design awards in recent years.
She was an undeniable design prodigy.
And now, this prodigy was asking for advice from Mirabella, a young woman.
“I happen to have a few new designs that I’ve just finished. Mrs. McMillian, could you take a look and tell me if there’s anything that needs to be improved?”
When people saw Sheila’s attitude, they knew she wasn’t really looking for advice, but rather, she was trying to put Mirabella in a tricky situation.
Mirabella glanced up, “Your name is Sheila?”
“Yes.” Sheila tilted her chin slightly, as if waiting for Mirabella’s guidance.
“The third place winner of last year’s Astronisia Design Competition, right?”
Everyone was surprised that Mirabella even knew about this, even Sheila’s haughty eyes showed a hint of surprise, “Have you been following this competition?”
“You’ve regressed.” Mirabella was flipping through the design draft in her hand, her voice indifferent, “With your level last year, this year shouldn’t be like this.”
Just as Sheila was about to speak, Mirabella picked up a pen next to her and started making changes directly on the original draft.
“This dress’s shoulder lace is superfluous. Not many people can pull it off. If you want to keep the lace, consider something like this.”
Mirabella drew the new lace design, and the dress immediately looked more refined.
“This way, it doesn’t look old-fashioned. Also, the waist section, which you think is a major highlight of the dress, will make the wearer look bulky, as if pregnant. If you want to win with waist design, consider these few types.”
Mirabella swiftly sketched several waist designs on the draft, instantly making it more eye-catching.
Everyone around was stunned. They hadn’t expected her to came up with so many designs in such a short time, let alone her excellent drawing skills, which were obviously professional.Compared to hers, Sheila’s previous drafts were an absolute disaster.
“Your original color scheme is too oppressive. If you switch to these three contrasting colors, it will look classy, fashionable, and eye-catching.”
Mirabella sketched a few strokes again, and a chic, beautiful dress emerged on the paper.
Sheila was so shocked that she couldn’t speak. She couldn’t believe that Mirabella could transform the dress into something so stunning.
She had thought her design draft was perfect and that Mirabella wouldn’t be able to find a single flaw.
But to her surprise, under Mirabella’s alterations, her original draft was simply trash.
Sheila couldn’t hear what Mirabella said next. Her mind went blank until a round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd, and she slowly came back to her senses.
Mirabella had already finished modifying the draft and handed it to her.
Sheila didn’t know how she reached out to take it, or how she flipped through these drafts, each page leaving her in awe.
One after another, people in the crowd were taking out their drafts, hoping for Mirabella’s guidance.
A few employees were still inquiring about Mirabella’s identity.
When Romeo returned from a phone call, he saw his girl surrounded by people, his gaze instantly softened.
“Mrs. McMillian, can you help me look at this? I always feel that there is something wrong with these designs, but I can’t put my finger on it.”“Can you look at mine? I drew several designs in one go when I was inspired this morning, but now that I’ve calmed down, they seer mediocre. I don’t know what the problem is.”
“I’m quite satisfied with my drafts, but I don’t know if they can be made more stunning. Mrs. McMillian, could you please help me identify any shortcomings?”
People were asking Mirabella for advice, and Mirabella, with patience, picked up her pen and helped them make improvements page by page.
“Oh my God, I never thought that the neckline could be changed like this, it’s so beautiful”
