Chapter 139
Selena spotted Anastasia in the reception area and felt a gang of guilt. But she didnât show it. Instead, she gave Anastasia a look, signaling her to leave But Anastasia pretended not to see it. She copied her work and still wanted her to leave?
Instead Anastasia turned to Wendy and said. âWendy, let me get you another cup of coffeeâ
ââOkay, thanksâ responded Wendy. Then she turned to Selena. You really are the top designer. I love this piece I was wondering if you could design a pair of earrings and a necklace for my daughterâs birthday next month I want to give them to her
âAnything to make you happy. Wendyâ Selena said with a smile. Earrings and a necklace no problem. Just tell me what you want and Iâll make sure youâre
1 have complete faith in your abilities Wendy said as she packed up the jewelry box. Tve heard from friends that your designs are usually lavish, but this one is very simple and delicate. Itâs quite classic.â
The simplest things were often the most exquisite and classic. Wendy didnât like things that were too complicated or flashy
Selena glanced at Anastasia, who was standing to the side, and accepted Wendys praise without blinking an eye. 1 guess itâs just that as Iâm getting older. Iâve come to appreciate the simpler stylesâ
Wendy joked. âSelena, youâre such a jokester. Youâre so young and beautiful and you say youâre old? That makes me ancientâ
Your skin is so good, Wendy. If I didnât know better, Iâd say youâre in your twenties
Selena praised Wendy lavishly, and Wendy was very pleased Selena successfully secured another order

As a jewelry designer, Anastasia took her work very seriously and could not tolerate plagiarism. She didnât expose Selena earlier because she didnât want to cause a scene in front of a client.
Selena said coldly, âAnastasia, watch your words. That was my design. I donât owe you any explanation What can a high school graduate like you design? Youâre just trying to get famous. That was a bracelet I designed for Wendy How dare you accuse me?â
Do you want to go with me to Mr. Victor for confirmation? Anastasia grabbed Selenaâs wrist 1 still have the original sketch. Letâs see whose work it isâ
Anastasia used to respect Selena After all, Selena was someone she once admired But now, Selenas actions exposed her true colors.
Plagianism was a matter of integrity Lauren had mentioned before that Selena was plagiarizing and taking advantage of junior designers. Anastasia thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true
Selena, looking a bit uneasy pushed Anastasia away and exaggeratedly said. âAnastasia, I am the chief designer. I wouldnât plagiarize. If itâs similar to your design, itâs just a coincidence.â
Anastasia scoffed, âSo thatâs how you became the chief designer. I see.â
Selenaâs face turned red, and she argued, âAnastasia, my character is not up for judgement by a junior assistant like you. Remember, the bracelet was my design if I hear any negative comments, your career in jewelry design is overâ
Anastasia laughed sarcastically Wasnt this a threat?
âSo our chief designer isnât new to this kind of thing, sheâs quite skilled at
