Abby's face darkened.
Last time, she failed to win Mrs. Holman, and the headquarters was not happy with that.
At the meeting just now, she was forced to give away most of her orders to other designers, two of whom were new, little-known designers. She was greatly humiliated.
The headquarters did so to teach her a lesson.
His cell phone rang.
Abby took out her mobile phone from her bag and said, "Hey, what's up?"
Her voice still sounded elegant and gentle, but her expression was glacial. Anyone who saw the difference would feel shocked.
The girl who called her was also a noble girl from a wealthy family, who was also doing fashion design. However, unlike Abby, who had achieved a lot, she just did it for fun, to kill time.
At this time, she said with interest, "I heard that Lin accepted a designer named Tina as her apprentice. Do you know this? Is it true? Lin is your aunt, isn't she? So, shouldn't she choose you instead?"
Abby hung up the phone abruptly.
She clenched her fists and suppressed the urge to throw her cell phone.
Abby flushed bright red as a spurt of anger flashed through her. She felt miserable.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door.
Then, a foreign man in a suit and leather shoes came in. He looked to be in his forties, with fair skin, deep-set eyes, and hooked nose - he must be an arrogant and sly man who was really hard to deal with.
Abby immediately put up a smile, hiding her resentment and maliciousness deep.
The man was her superior, so she greeted him with a respectful tone, Robert!"
Robert, however, landed his eyes on her messy office desk and said in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Abby maintained her smile and explained calmly, "My assistant was here to fetch something for me and messed it up. There might be something urgent to do, so she left before cleaning it up!"
Robert said, "Oh, but that's irresponsible!"
Knowing that he would not come to her office for no reason, Abby asked tentatively about her purpose, "Sir, why do you come here?"
He walked up to her and said, "At the end of next month, the GDA international fashion design exhibition will be held in Lonton City, the capital of Country Y. I have already asked the headquarters to send you there. Be sure that you can win a place and show your works in the international exhibition!"
Unlike other shows in this country, the GDA international fashion design exhibition would be broadcast worldwide.
Many countries and cities would select their best designers and works to compete in the exhibition. So, the competition would be very fierce. Not everyone was qualified to participate in it.
Robert knocked on the desk with her middle finger and narrowed her eyes with a solemn expression. "Abby, this is your chance to make up for it. Otherwise..."
He did not finish his words on purpose, but Abby was fully aware that he was warning her.
Abby felt tense.
Then, she smiled firmly and promised, "Don't worry, I won't let you and the headquarters down this time!"
Robert nodded with satisfaction and then turned to leave.
