Winter Fashion Competition Part 2

Yue who was about to settle was suddenly approached someone.

"Hi, I'm Adrien. I truly admire Ms. Yue's works during the Fashion Festival and the way you bring out the best of Null's design. I'm glad to make an acquaintance" the woman gives out a mature vibe but obviously pleasant and offered her hand.

Yue stared at the hand in front of her. She was surprised that someone vocally admired her work sincerely so she decided to accept the kind gesture.

"Thank you for your compliment. I was blessed to be able to work with Null and still have a long way to go" Yue knew how much Ker had guided her through those days so she can't claim the full credit.

However, others may think that she was being hypocrite for Yue heard someone snicker.

"To be able to be recognized by Null is merit itself" unaffected by the impending tense atmosphere, Adrien continued to show her good will to Yue.

Yue just smiled politely but didn't comment lest they found it excessive.

"Tsk, what is she being smug for. She just relied on brown-nosing to enter in this competition. As if they can really produce a good work. For all we know, she can't even get a thread to pass through a needle" a girl cried out a snide comment and didn't even try to lower down her voice.

The girl besides Lia was alarmed by her sudden burst and hinted for her to avoid trouble.

"Why stop me? Eversince she entered the company I haven't seen her working in the department. She just spends her time playing nanny with the boss' little brother and she got to steal the spot for the Fashion Festival and now this important Winter Competition!" Lia seemed to reveal an inside information and other people in the room began to look at Yue unfavorably.

Such was the human nature.

Despite the fact that most of them appreciated Yue's work during Fashion Week, they would rather believe the bad things because on the other side is jealousy.

It also presents them the chance to eliminate the opponent, especially a strong one.

Yue had a poor impression for this kind of attitude.

Yue already had her eyes on Lia the moment she entered the room.

Why?

Isn't it because she was the culprit for the missing outfit during Fashion Fest.

They didn't push through the incident since it brought a favorable result and didn't want to go through the hassle, but who told Lia to target her time and time again.

Just because Yue didn't like trouble doesn't mean that she would let herself be bullied.

Being lost in her own world the other party thought she was scared.

"What, cat got your tongue. Why don't you say something, isn't because you are guilty?" Lia wanted to instigate Yue into action, unfortunately, she met Yue's sharp tongue.

"Excuse me. Is the exhaust in this room not working? I keep smelling something stinky" Yue looked for a staff while pinching her nose.

"You-!" Lia stomped her foot in anger.

"Ah, there it goes again. I hope that you can clear the bad air in this room by the time I get back. Thank you" it is enough for her to just irritate the woman for now.

Yue will see her performance later and make sure to grind her 6ft underground.

Yue ignored the screaming protest in the background and left the room.

"How dare she! That annoying b****!" Lia wanted to grab Yue back to slap her senseless but her arm is being held back by her friend.

"Can you calm down. Why are you being so unreasonable today?" Hani felt Lia was being unusual.

Although her friend is short-tempered, but she wouldn't offend a person face to face that easily especially that this should be the first close encounter between Lia and Ms. Yue.

"You let me go, you're my friend but why do you keep on opposing me!" Lia can't see that Hani is protecting her instead looked at her like an enemy.

Hani was downhearted but she remained firm on not letting Lia to follow after Yue.

"You should listen to Ms. Hani and stop embarrassing yourself" Adrien finally can't stop but pay attention to the crazy woman.

"I'm just trying to vent for you and Ms. Kemara. I know the two of you have been working hard every year for the Fashion Fest. I can't accept someone coming out of nowhere, grabbing your hard earned spot, and getting away with it" Lia tried to justify her actions.

In all honesty, part of why she hated Yue was because she really thinks it's unfair for a new unknown person to represent the company in the international stage.

There are many designers that had been working in Alcane for a long time, waiting for their chance, and all of a sudden they were bypassed.

But just the same, it was her own selfishness.

She was suppressed for a long time so Lia accepted it as her norm, but she finds it ugly for someone else to step on her head.

And of course, Lia had been admiring the Young Master Kiro for a long time.

She even tried to befriend the little devil but she can only sigh on her failure to do so.

She bore grudge that the kid didn't even give her some face when he played some tricks with her but can only hold her peace.

One time, he even tripped her and she fell into the mop trolley containing dirty water.

Wearing a thin shirt, her underwear was exposed.

And the worst part of it was that the Young Master Kiro was able to witness everything.

There are more but she was too embarrassed to even recall.

So how could Yue tame the wild child and get close to the Young Master, even making him consider her to be his girlfriend.

There's also that mysterious designer who was supposed to be a recluse, but why?

Why do they all scramble to get her attention, why?!

Besides her fox face, Lia doesn't believe that Yue had what it takes to be a fashion designer.

"The decision of who was worthy for the spot always lies with the Young Master Kiro, when was it your turn to make decisions in the company? And I'm not even angry, how come you?" Adrien shook her head disappointedly.

She didn't know if there's someone behind Lia that's trying to make troubles and she didn't like this kind of intrigues, but she can obviously see that Lia was not magnanimous to care for other people.

Although she was disappointed that she wasn't able to join the Fashion Festival, but Adrien knows herself, and she, for the past few years, can't find a breakthrough in her designs. So she would rather step down and let a more talented person take the stage to bring glory to Alcane.

She gave her heartfelt blessing to Yue and Null for the Fashion Fest and was thrilled about their win.

She had always trusted Kiro's eye for talent.

And people may not know but the relation between Kiro and her goes way back in their childhood days.

She would never want people to tarnish the company of her friend.

Adrien threw a sharp glance at Lia before following Yue outside.
