"Lucy, you’re definitely going to win the grand prize with this design. It will be a highlight in the history of the Hype and Elegance Fashion Show. To be honest, seeing your work makes me question my own confidence,” Koven said with a self-deprecating laugh.Lucy was embarrassed to hear this. Koven was her mentor, and for him to say such a thing meant that her design was truly exceptional. However, she still felt she could not reach his level.“You’re too kind, Koven. I’ve always been interested in design and drawing, but I never thought I’d become a fashion designer. I owe it all to you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today,” Lucy sincerely thanked him from the bottom of her heart.She was lucky she had Koven to guide her onto this path because without him, she might still be at home, drawing and sketching out of boredom. Now, with her newfound passion, she always felt busy and fulfilled.“You’re welcome. If your design is ready, I’ll submit it and find a suitable mode
"It's good that you're aware. I’m going to beat you in the fashion show, and even if you do win, it'll be because of Matthew’s help. If I had a husband like him, I’d just stay home and enjoy a life of luxury. Why bother working and exhausting myself every day? "Wealthy people like you become designers for the experience while people like me do it to earn a living.” After finishing, Lacee shot Lucy a side-eye.Koven’s anger toward Lacee was rising as he listened to their conversation.“Lacee, that’s enough. You shouldn’t talk like that. Both you and Lucy can learn from each other. Lucy earned her achievements through her own hard work too. "If you’re so easily jealous, forget about being a designer. There's always going to be someone better than you out there. What are you going to do then? Kill them to stay at the top?” Koven vented his frustration in a single breath.Lacee swallowed her retort as she could not afford to offend Koven. If she did, she would have no chance in the
"What are you going to have, Lucy?” Koven turned to Lucy beside him.“I’m fine with anything. What about you?” Lucy replied. She was not used to hearing Koven speak like this.“Now that you’re pregnant, you should avoid spicy food and stick to something lighter.”Lucy could not believe how much he knew, so she turned to him with a puzzled look. “How do you, a grown man, know about this stuff? Unless you’re...”Listening to her question, Koven immediately looked at her and said, “It’s not what you’re thinking. I’m as straight as a pole, so don’t overthink it.”Lucy smiled awkwardly and remained quiet.“If you don’t know what to eat, I’ll pick something out for you. Wait here.”Lucy nodded and watched as he walked away. She had not expected Koven, who usually seemed so carefree, to be so attentive.Meanwhile, Lacee had initiated her plan. After seeing Koven and Lucy leave, she quietly sneaked into Lucy’s office and snapped a photo of Lucy’s initial draft and the completed garment
"I don’t have any leads yet, and I don’t know where to begin. Plus, I’m representing them as their lawyer, so your issues and Sunrise Group’s issues are intertwined. It’s giving me a headache trying to sort through everything,” said Charlie as he set aside his work and massaged his temples.“Why don’t I take a look? There might be some loopholes you’re not seeing. Maybe I’ll be able to find them,” Koven suggested as he watched the three of them.They were all busy, and he felt bored just sitting there doing nothing. Since Charlie was having a headache and couldn’t continue the search, he might as well make himself useful.Charlie nodded and gestured for Koven to take his seat while he stood by, observing.As soon as Koven sat down, he began examining every detail. As expected, Spades hid everything well. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he turned to ask Charlie, “Charlie, do you have Ted’s account? Just the account would be enough. I might be able to hack into it.”Charlie’s mind
"Let's see if we can find anything in his chat history. This is crucial for us." When Charlie saw that Koven had hacked into the other party's account, he immediately asked Koven to check Ted's chat history excitedly.This was because if there were chat records, they only needed to log in and retrieve them. Koven looked at him and nodded seriously. He immediately began to search for every chat record.As he went through the chat records one by one, he suddenly found a chat record that was extremely…"Tsk, I didn't expect the president of Sunrise Group to have such a hobby. This woman is so pitiful." Koven could not look at the screen anymore as he found it too extreme."But this woman's figure is quite good. She's curvaceous," Koven commented after carefully looking at the photo."Alright, be good and hurry up and investigate. We can't wait any longer. Time waits for no man. If we keep delaying things, we'll have to watch Matthew go to jail." Charlie looked at Matthew.Matthew
"What do you mean?" Hudson looked at Koven's unreadable expression and did not understand what he meant."It's very obvious. The first sentence of the chat between Ted and this person started on March 10th. This means that they had been planning for this a month before it was decided."Moreover, the other party definitely knew that Matthew's company was preparing to collaborate with Sunrise Group. As for what the situation is, I'm not too sure." Koven glanced sideways at Hudson."That's impossible. I only decided to work with Sunrise Group on March 9th. It was only a day. How could the news reach Spades so quickly? This is too strange. Besides, I decided to work with Sunrise Group at the last minute." Matthew did not quite believe Koven's words.This was because he had indeed decided on this matter at the last minute. Previously, he had only contacted Sunrise Group, but they had not collaborated further. Later on, this collaboration was decided by the major shareholders. It seemed
"Alright, alright. That's enough. All three of us are single. Why should we go up against each other? "They're a happy couple, so just give them your blessings. We don't have to say anything else about it. We have to be responsible for our words, after all." Charlie pushed up his glasses as he looked at Matthew's and Lucy's backs.Hudson chuckled and patted his shoulder. "Alright, alright. I won't scare Koven anymore. It won't be good if he pees his pants later."After all, an innocent man like Koven had never been in a relationship all his life. Even if he were to get into a relationship, he would most definitely be dumped. What a pitiful man. They should not hurt his self-esteem."I don't want to see Koven go to jail before he even gets married and has children. That would be too cruel to him."After saying that, Hudson turned around and walked out of the company with a smile.Charlie looked at Koven and smiled helplessly. He shook his head and looked at him with disdain as he
Lucy's heart felt warm. Although Matthew usually spoke in a stern tone and had difficulty expressing what he felt, his words were filled with warmth.When Lucy heard him say this, she knew that she could not win against him, so she could only agree to let him carry her upstairs."Matt, I haven't washed up yet. Let me get up and wash up first." Just as Lucy was about to break free from his embrace, Matthew stopped her."No, look at how pale your face is. I'm worried about you. What if you fall? Look at how thin you've become in the past two days. I'll go down and make you some chicken noodle soup. "It's still early anyway. Rest for a while. I'll wake you up later to have the chicken noodle soup. After that, you can recover your strength and then sleep." After Matthew finished speaking, he covered Lucy with the blanket and turned to leave. He went out to prepare the ingredients.Seeing him like this, Lucy did not stop him. She covered herself with the blanket and lay on the bed t
