Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 905

Despite the design department facing staff shortages, the prospect of treating everyone to a meal had unexpectedly brightened the atmosphere.

"You're lucky," quipped the male designer, who was fond of teasing.

This time around, Irene wasn't toiling away solo on her clothing designs as the male designer had generously lent her his expertise.

Irene responded with a gentle smile and chose to remain silent.

Abigail, on the other hand, began to sense something amiss between them but didn't make any overt gestures.

After summoning Irene and Yeezy into the office, Abigail directed her inquiry to Yeezy first. "Have you received any inquiries from anyone wanting to purchase the clothes?"

A smile adorned Yeezy's face as she replied, "I was just about to tell you that someone offered me 9 million to purchase the entire collection."

"From the entertainment industry?" Abigail still favored the idea of selling to up-and-coming stars or those renowned for their acting skills, which would bolster the designer's reputation within the industry and potentially lead to higher sales prices.

"I don't recognize the buyer personally, but here's the number." Yeezy retrieved her phone and passed it over.

Upon accepting the phone, Abigail glanced at the displayed number before copying it and forwarding it to Xavien.

"I'll have someone look into it for you, so hold off on selling for now," Abigail remarked and shot a glance at Irene. "What about yours?"

"There's a museum that's keen on me donating this garment to them. They want to exhibit it to promote culture," Irene revealed. She was secretly quite inclined toward the idea of having it showcased in a museum.

Abigail looked at her and was momentarily unsure of how to respond.

Luna cleared her throat. "Which museum is it?"

Despite Irene's inner inclinations, she ought to recognize the importance of not undervaluing her work. Disrespecting her efforts would be tantamount to disrespecting herself, she mused.

"It's reportedly the Endosky Museum," Irene replied, her voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty. The call from the party had caught her off guard, and in her immediate thoughts, Abigail was the first person who came to mind.

After all, Irene worked for L.Moon, and this piece of clothing had gained significant attention. How to handle it exactly? Well, that was up to Abigail.

"Do you happen to have a breakdown of the costs involved in creating this garment?" Luna asked calmly while reclining back in her wheelchair.

Her inquiry prompted a moment of reflection for Irene as the latter hadn't considered the financial aspect of her creation.

All the materials for the garment were provided by L.Moon, totaling roughly around 150 thousand. The gold thread was particularly expensive, and the fabric used was also of high quality.

Luna's subsequent words carried a weight of wisdom, her calm demeanor belying the seriousness of her message. "Are you aware that if someone, a company, or even a collective values your labor, they'll compensate you accordingly? It's essential to understand that even for cultural promotion, financial backing is crucial. When it comes to promoting cultural tourism or hiring models, they all understand the need for payment. If Endosky Museum isn't willing to compensate you, they're simply exploiting your talent," she concluded, her voice tinged with a silent sigh.

It was probably because they thought Irene was naive, so that was why they did this to her.

"Give me the phone," Abigail instructed.

Without hesitation, she dialed the other person's number.
