Chapter 34
Ariana sneered at him and then shrugged. She stepped forward and looked at Brielle from head to toe. Afterward, she tut-tutted with displeasure. “The designer is a minimalist artist. You are dressed like a Christmas tree. Can’t you see that it just doesn’t make sense?”
Brielle rolled her eyes and uttered sarcastically, “What do you know about fashion? It’s called contrast. You know, the products are not eye- catching already. If | wear some plain clothes like I'm attending a funeral, the target audience won't spare the commercial a second glance, let alone buy the trashy products.”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
The couple was in sync. They didn’t see anything wrong with the outfit.
Ariana felt the urge to explain to them. But then, she remembered that they were blockheads. She turned to look at the designer- Ivan Russo, who had been standing aside. She thought about how best to explain the current situation to him. “Well-*
“Don’t bother yourself, miss. | actually understand your language,” Ivan piped up in Italian. Ariana’s jaw dropped. That meant he heard Brielle’s disparaging remarks about his designs. Ivan held a finger to his lips. “Let's keep it a secret.”
“My lips are sealed. Trust me,” Ariana replied in Italian, nodding her head. The two smiled at each other. Then Ivan asked, “Would you like to be the model for this commercial?”
lvan’s offer surprised Ariana. He wanted to change the model for the commercial? It meant that Brielle would lose the deal and her career would suffer a major setback even before it started. After thinking for a while, Ariana turned down the offer politely. “I’m sorry, sir. I’m an agent here, not a model.”
“Oh, | thought you were a model. You are very beautiful. With a look of regret, lvan continued, “Your physical appearance and temperament are just what | need in a model for this commercial What a pity!”
Ariana looked at the pieces of jewelry that were displayed not far away and commented, “I love your designs. They are unique. | can see that you combined traditional and modern aesthetics to make them. | must say that you are very talented.”
One of the minor courses that Ariana took at the university had to do with jewelry design. She knew that only a designer who knew his onions could make a compromise between his own taste and the public’s preferences.
Designers had to put in a lot of work and make several revisions just to put out the best. Even though the design looked simple to others, Ariana knew that it must have cost hours of hard work.
lvan’s smile widened after he got that compliment. He took out his business card and handed it to her. “Here’s my card. I’m glad | met an understanding and insightful person like you. As they say, less is more. | love to make my designs minimalist in order to spark thoughts from people.”
“This could set a new trend in the jewelry industry.” Ariana took the business card with a smile. They talked some more.
After the short conversation, Ivan was all smiles. “I hope we can work together someday. If you ever need my help, you can call me at any time.”
“Okay, we should do that one of these days.”
Jasper gaped at them as they chatted happily. Once they were done talking, he grabbed Ariana’s arm. “What were you two talking about?”
Ariana shook off his hand and shot him a glare.
