Chapter 431

Chapter 431 Is His Wife Unhappy with That Cecelia wouldn’t fear her challenge. “Okay, I accept your challenge! But don’t ask me for mercy then!”

“Humph, that won’t happen!”

Petunia was confident because she had learned about Nyx’s style by examining all of her designs and found that Cecelia had not launched any new designs for a long time.

Cecelia was busy investigating her mother’s case. How could she have the mind to do designs? As long as she paid a little attention, Petunia could easily beat her.

“Let’s wait and see!”

Cecelia put on her sunglasses and walked out of the edifice.

Petunia stared at her back for a while before stepping into the elevator.

When she returned to the president’s office, she saw her mother sitting there in a daze. She went up and asked with concern, “Are you okay, mother? What did that woman tell you this time? Why are you crying?”

Seeing her mother shedding tears, she became suspicious.

“Nothing.”

Her mother Maggie wiped away her tears and said, “I’m fine! She didn’t tell me anything special.”

“I got it. Does she suspect you again because the one named Kara or something died?”

Last time at the Cloud Sea Resort, she had heard all the details of the conversation between Cecelia and her mother from the shadows.

Cecelia suspected that her mother killed Kara. Petunia asked curiously, “Did you really do that?”

“Don’t ask, Petunia! Go back to your work! I’m going out!”

Maggie didn’t want to explain anything. She picked up her handbag and left the office. No matter what, she had to go to the hospital to take a look.

Fredric came back and also brought a cup of juice for Snow.

Snow was slightly confused when she took the juice. “This is…”

“What I bought for you. Chilled plum juice.”

Snow was really surprised. The nerd went out to buy her a drink?

“And also this. Take it!”

Snow found that what he tossed to her was a bunny keyring with a strong cartoon style. “Why give me this?”

“This is what the shop owner gave me when I bought the drink. You ladies must like it, right?” Fredric said with an honest but silly smile.

Snow didn’t like such trinkets, but couldn’t bear to refuse his kindness.

She stared at Fredric for a while. Seeing the sweat on his forehead, she had some strange feelings.

It seemed she had not felt the care from a man for a very long time. Why was she feeling a little warm?

After a while, Cecelia returned to the car and said to Fredric, “Let’s go!”

Fredric started the car and left. Snow looked back at Cecelia and asked, “Cecelia, have you made the deal with Maggie?”

“Yes, I have.”

“It’s hot, right? Mr. Ingerwood even bought chilled plum juice for you!”

Snow didn’t drink the juice, hoping to leave it to Cecelia. Cecelia said with a smile, “You drink it! Don’t waste Fredric’s feelings. He bought it especially for you!” Then she said to Fredric jokingly, “Fredric, you know a girl’s heart! That’s great! But why didn’t you buy anything for me?”

“Sorry, I forgot. Should I drive to buy one for you now?”

Fredric felt embarrassed. Why didn’t he buy two cups?

“No need. I’m kidding. Let’s go to the Tangerine Group.”

Fredric drove Cecelia to the Tangerine Group. Ludwig Mavis, CEO of Tangerine, presided over the top management regular meeting, and Cecelia also attended it.

During the meeting, all departments reported their working progresses to Cecelia. Ludwig also brought her the company’s financial statements from since he took over.

The statistics showed that since Middlebox Group took over the Tangerine Group, the Tangerine Group had begun turning losses into profits and kept making progress.

Apart from showing the reports on the company’s business policies, Ludwig also especially asked, “Miss Linsey, our company is going to launch new products for this season. In the end, the design center selected two series of solutions. Please make a decision.”

Cecelia checked the creative drawings of the two designers and thought they were very good.

The drawings of the veteran designer Morgan Fisher had a stable style-high-end and grand, perfectly matching Tangerine’s style.

The drawings of the other less experienced designer Cody Gibbs broke the regular rules and were revolutionary, but they were not good enough in some details.

Cecelia decided, “The first solution. You may hurry up the production. I hope the clothes can appear at the new product launch event next Tuesday.”

“Okay, I also think the first solution is very suitable for our theme.”

After the decision was made, Ludwig immediately ordered the first solution’s clothes.

But Cecelia still had a request: “Ask the designer Cody Gibbs to come over. I’ll give him some advice.”

“Okay.”

Ludwig made an internal call.

Now the staff of the design center had learned about the final decision: The veteran designer Morgan’s solution was chosen.

The staff congratulated Morgan, but they also denigrated Cody.

Cody belonged to the emerging force at the company. Although he was ostracized, he couldn’t complain. His designs did have some flaws, so he could accept that they were not chosen.

But he didn’t expect that their boss behind the scenes wanted to see him in person. He came to the conference center with a worried heart. As soon as he saw Cecelia, he was amazed by her ethereal aura.

He had seen her in the news, but when he saw her in person, he realized that she was more beautiful than she appeared in the news.

“Miss Linsey!”

“Cody? Come in!”

Cody lowered his head and went over, not even daring to look at Cecelia’s stunning face. “What do you want from me, Miss Linsey?”

“I’ve reviewed your designs. They’re creative. You’re promising.”

Cody was shocked by Cecelia’s praise. How could he deserve such high praise?

“But your designs have a fatal weakness. You can change your mind a bit and make some adjustments. I changed two parts of this draft. Now you take a look!”

Cecelia handed the draft to him. Seeing her changes, Cody was so surprised. “Wow, a stroke of genius!”

This was the way of breakthrough he couldn’t think of by racking his brains. Now, when Cecelia pointed it out by hitting the nail on the head, he became enlightened.

“The so-called series means expressing a uniformity concept. Products may be different, but they have the same spirit. There should also be highlights for catching the eye.”

After hearing Cecelia’s instructions, Cody finally saw the light. Yes, he learned a lot.

“I got it! Thank you for your instructions, Miss Linsey! Is it right for me to change this part like this?”

Cody was smart. As soon as he got instructions, he knew what he should do next. After he made the alterations, the draft became reasonable and perfect.

While the two were discussing the ways to revise the drafts, Remington came with a bunch of roses.

But when he reached the door, he saw Cecelia chatting with a very young man.

A handsome young guy!

Seeing this, Remington felt hurt. His wife minded that? So she immediately got a young guy to seek comfort?
