She felt like she'd been struck by lightning, unable to believe that her idol, the Queen Abby she'd worshiped and desperately wanted to meet, had been by her side all along.
Arabella watched her with amusement. Hadn't she claimed to have seen it all to be able to handle any surprise?
Well, it didn't look like she'd quite recovered from this one yet.
Molly was stunned. She thought back to the sketches she'd given Arabella. With just a few strokes, Arabella had always managed to transform them into something even better.
She had noticed that Arabella's design style was similar to Queen Abby's, a daring, unique expression.
She had even asked Arabella, in a whisper, whether Queen Abby was a man or a woman and if she was old.
Back then, Arabella had told her that Queen Abby was a woman and that she wasn't old. She had even asked Arabella if she'd ever met Queen Abby.
In retrospect, she felt pretty dumb for not realizing that the famous master was right in front of her!
If it hadn't been for Arabella, her life would have been completely different.
She had wanted Queen Abby's autograph, but as a small-time designer, she'd had no chance of meeting her.
Arabella had encouraged her to enter the competition. She remembered how the contest required an assistant, but she had no reputation or confidence, and her colleagues didn't want to be her assistant because they knew their own abilities.
As designers, they didn't want to embarrass themselves at a design contest.
Arabella had offered to go with her, giving her the courage and confidence to submit her application at the last minute.
Arabella had been a great help on her journey as a designer, not only helping her revise sketches and giving her advice but also clearing her name.
She remembered once, when her work was slandered as plagiarism, Arabella had saved the day by quickly altering the design. Arabella had given her the chance to show in a live stream how she had come up with the 23 styles, boosting her reputation.
