Tina noticed that the atmosphere had become a little strange, and she reflected upon it.
Very quickly, Abby's stiffness disappeared. She gently changed the topic and said, "Auntie, I haven't seen granny for a long time. We can buy some syrup which she loved the most in the midway!"
Lin nodded and said, "Well... You're very thoughtful!"
Then, she asked, "By the way, Ab by, why did you come here earlier?"
Abby explained, "The opening ceremony of Susan's studio is held today. I think I should come here personally to congratulate her. Besides, I'll need to go to the Chin's Group this afternoon!"
At the end of her words, Abby deliberately softened her tone.
The marriage between the Chin family and the Amery family had become publicly known, and Lin also knew about it. However, Lin seldom took part in the management affairs of the Amery's Group and rarely asked for details of the marriage. For this reason, she didn't know the real inside story of it.
Lin laughed. "After we pick up your granny, she and I will go back home. Then, you can do your own things. Don't worry, we won't go with you and supervise your date with Wilson!"
Abby blinked her eyes, and she looked shy and happy.
Tina clenched her fists silently.
Lin stood up from the sofa and smiled at Tina. "Miss Hall, please tell Susan that Abby and I will be leaving!"
"Okay!" Tina nodded.
Lin added, "See you next time!"
Tina nodded and sent them out of the office on behalf of Susan. "Lin, Miss Amery, goodbye. See you next time!"
After the door of the elevator was closed, Tina turned around and returned to the design room to look for Susan.
Susan asked her, "Tina, have Lin and Abby left?"
"Yes!" Tina nodded.
When she noticed that Susan was not in a good mood, she asked with concern, "Susan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine! But you may have noticed that I'm not getting along well with Abby Amery!" said Susan.
Tina nodded and asked tentatively, "Why's that?"
In her impression, Abby had always been a young lady who was often wearing a smile on her face. She was graceful and friendly at the same time. Her educational background was quite good, and her disposition was nice. Someone like her was not supposed to have conflicted with others.
However, Tina still remembered what Abby had said to her the other day when they met in the cafe.
Through Abby s words, Tina realized that Abby was definitely not that nice and harmless as she appeared to be. She was indeed very shrewd and tactical.
Susan looked at her. "Tina, would you believe me if I tell you that Abby had once plagiarized my design work?"
Tina was stunned.
After two seconds of silence, she nodded. "I will believe you!"
It wasn't that Tina's judgment was biased against Abby. It was just that after knowing Susan for so long a time, Tina was quite familiar with her temperament. In her mind, Susan was a simple-minded and honest woman.
Most importantly, just like Tina, Susan thought very highly of costume design.
Seeing that Tina believed in her, Sanda let out a sigh of relief.
She felt relaxed when she began to share her story with Tina, "It happened many years ago. I was recruited as the assistant of Lin after graduation. Lin never had any disciples, but I could learn a lot from her by serving as her assistant!
"As we all know, the Grand Fashion Design Contest is not only very famous in the costume design industry, but also is very influential in the whole Asian area. It is a stepping stone for any designer who aspires to become a member of the circle of distinguished designers. If you are lucky enough to win the prize, you will be recognized by the circle!"
Tina had a rough idea of what had happened after hearing this. "You and Miss Amery were participants?"
"It's true!" Susan nodded.
She clenched her fists. So many years had passed, yet she was still so angry. It could thus be seen how deeply Abby had hurt her.
