Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 53 The First Out of Line The interns around them all turned to look at Jean with sympathy in their eyes. "There's only five minutes left, she wouldn't have enough time to draw another one."

"This is the first time for us interns to show ourselves. I heard some of the chief designers will be coming to judge our designs. Jean's done for sure."

"Jean, how about you use mine?!" Ally looked at Jean with her big eyes, sincerely passing her design over, "Although it isn't as good as yours. Take this note too."

"Are you sure?" Jean glanced at her. "Yeah, I want you to achieve your goals. That way, Ben will be happy too." Her smile seemed sincere. In that moment, Jean understood, too bad for Ally, she wasn't born yesterday.

"It's okay, I don't need it," Jean rejected.

"Are you worried that I will tell on you? Don't worry, I won't." Ally continued to reassure Jean.

However, a mischievous smile continued to hang in Jean's mouth. "I'm sure you won't tell. But, do you think the people here will stay quiet if I do get a placing with your design?"

Ally was stumped and did not say anything else.

Jean walked over to Ally and whispered into her ear, "Ally, you're not gullible and innocent, and I'm not an idiot. I heard you and Brittany talking in the bathroom. Also, I will stay in MON & Co., don't you dare stand in my way, or I will send you home crying. Did Ben not tell you, I'm not afraid of anyone." Finishing what she had to say, she continued to walk to her seat and sat down, her face a picture of calmness, as though nothing was wrong.

Ally stood speechless with her eyes open and nails biting into her palm.

Anna pushed open the door and behind her were two out of four of the chief designers at MON & Co., Hansen Young and Monica Weller.

"Put your designs on the table, the chief designers will have a look."

The moment Monica walked in, she looked at Jean. She had just been on a call with Miles; Jean must do well in today's competition, as Edgar had said that she needed to be at fashion week. However, her design was just too bad. No matter how hard Monica thought, there was no way she could manipulate the situation. She tried to catch Jean's eye, but Jean was not looking at her at all. She just sat there with her ruined design in front of her.

Hansen and Monica, along with their staff, walked around to look at the interns' work. Every design caused them to either laugh or shook their head because the designs were too immature. Although some had a little creativity, it was too unrealistic and could not be done with present-day techniques.

They came to Ally's design. Hansen immediately smiled at him, "Not bad, it follows the theme, and seems doable." This was the highest praise from the whole judging.

"Thank you, Mr. Young." Ally replied shyly.

Hansen walked over to Jean to see her black-covered design. "Is this your design?"

Jean nodded, and tore off the top layer. All the other interns gathered around to have a look.

"How..."

The piece of ruined design had turned into a radiant piece of art!

On the piece of paper was a set of accessories. The main jewelry was a ruby necklace, gold rattan surrounded the gemstone, and it made it look noble and elegant. It was paired with a pair of star-shaped earrings. Looking at this set, it made people think that it was only befitting of a goddess.

It was luxurious and was similar yet not too identical to MON & Co.'s design concepts.

"This is, a ruby necklace? It's not bad, but I think it's pretty ordinary." Hansen muttered. Contents belong NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"How about you take a closer look, it's obviously an obsidian necklace." Monica snickered.

"Nah, her theme is 'red'!"

With that theme, typically, people would think of using a ruby or an onyx as their centerpiece, and then use other gems as supporting pieces. Jean, on the other hand, did the opposite, choosing a dark obsidian as her centerpiece.

"You'll be eliminated if it doesn't follow the theme." Anna said coldly with a raised eyebrow.

Jean lifted her hand and swiped against the paper, giving herself a deep paper cut. She then flicked her finger onto the obsidian on her paper. Very quickly, the red from her blood and the black on the paper merged together, giving the once ordinary design a mysterious beauty.

"The enchanting flower of vengeance." Jean looked at her design, "This is the name of thism necklace, I decided to use an obsidian as the base and embed a ruby into it. The ruby had to be light to let the darkness shine through, otherwise, it would just look unrefined."

"You've even thought about the cutting and embedment?" Hansen. m was stunned and pondered for a moment before he continued, “Well, then there's nothing else to say. Jean's design definitely has potential to be in the next season!"

"WHAT?!" It stunned the whole crowd.

"No way, the company's going to use an intern's design?"

"Well, her concept does have meaning to it. If it were me, I reckon I would have just designed a rose, and that would be too old-fashioned."

Everyone else was excited as they hoped to get the last two places. Only Jean was lost in he thoughts as she looked at her design. Not too long later, all three names were decided; Jean Eyer, Ally Sans, and Sally Lance.

Monica turned around and saw that Jean still did not join in with the others. She took her phone out, texted Miles, and then left quickly.

Things were starting to get interesting.
