Chapter 132 A Pair of Foolish Persons.
Maggie lifted her gaze and noticed Vanessa holding an item. It seemed more akin to an armlet than a bracelet, although it could easily function as either.
The whole armlet was decorated with detailed ancient mythology symbols, featuring the yellow gem crafted to resemble a sun, surrounded by small diamonds that radiated a dazzling glow in every direction.
The sun design was nestled within a curved border, with several dangling tassels hanging from the curved outline, lending a touch of exotic charm.
Though the design was stunning, it was not flawless, Maggie could understand Annie's intention behind the design, but she would have chosen different gemstones if she had the choice.
"It's adequate, but even with the gem's high quality, it doesn't quite capture the fiery passion of the sun god and seems to lack spassionate vitality," she replied in a gentle tone.
After hearing this, Vanessa couldn't resist a laugh. "Maggie, do you really think Annie's designs are not up to par with yours? Creating these pieces must have taken a lot of hard work, and criticising them might be seen as disrespectful.” She couldn't grasp Maggie's thoughts. She was clearly intelligent but suddenly seemed preoccupied with her relationship with Joseph.
It's essential to keep in mind that offering criticism on a designer's work in their own store would likely be poorly received by any designer.
Additionally, Annie was famed for her defiant demeanour and nonchalant approach.
The designer's efforts certainly deserve respect, but when the work is displayed, it becomes subject to scrutiny by others. Everyone has different aesthetic tastes, as Ms. Brown admires him but I do not.” Maggie tightened her lips and cast a glance at Joseph beside her, speaking candidly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVanessa was also feeling somewhat angry now, not only because Maggie repeatedly embarrassed her but also because she was disparaging the designer's work inside the designer's store.
If these words were to reach Annie's ears, how could we continue to persuade her to join Luster Corporation? Initially, Vanessa had hoped to guide Maggie towards contemplating a broader perspective.
Yet, as she gazes upon her now, Vanessa perceives her as utterly unreasonable! Should the Camerons succeed in securing Annie, it would undoubtedly highlight their competence. However, in the present circumstances, their failure to do so isn't due to any deficiency in their efforts, but rather Maggie's disruptive influence.
Looking back, if there were a reckoning, I couldn't be blamed for this.
With such thoughts in mind, Vanessa felt that the more significant the issue that Maggie stirred up and the worse the people she offended, the better. Then, when she negotiated with another designer to save the 1/3 Sat, 18 May Chapter 132 A Pair of Foolish Persons Joseph's expression darkened considerably. He couldn't help but feel that it was a huge mistake for Ronald to suggest bringing Maggie along.
He was responsible for the matter, so he should be the one handling it. Now that Maggie had stirred things up, if things didn't work out in the end, it would seem like his own incompetence.
"What Maggie said makes sense. Perhaps you and Annie have different aesthetics, and you're not a professional designer after all. You may not understand the concept of jewellery, so it's understandable that you would think that way, Vanessa speak gently.
Still with a round field, after saying that, she looked at Emily with an apology and said," Sorry, my friend doesn't understand these things very well, just talk about his own preferences." Emily still maintained a polite smile on her face but couldn't help but give Maggie a few more glances. "What about this one? Maggie, what do you think?" Vanessa spoke again, pointing to a green sapphire ring.
The ring continues the line style that Annie loves, but it's crafted with a folded-paper-like carving technique, creating a three-dimensional butterfly knot.
There aren't many cute elements in it. On both sides of the butterfly khot, there are drop-shaped green gems set in them, arranged in a staggered manner, making it lively and bold.
"It's okay, but if I were a buyer, I would prefer to have this butterfly bow slightly folded and wrinkled, making the two gems closer together and giving it more character." She knew Vanessa was doing it on purpose, wanting to hear her criticise Annie's work more to make things unpleasant.
But Vanessa didn't know that although Annie had a stubborn character and her own ideas, if she could resonate with her, she was always willing to listen to others' opinions.
Not only her, but many designers are like that.
Unfortunately, Vanessa probably can't understand that.
She asked, and Maggie didn't hold back either. After carefully examining it, she candidly shared her thoughts. Vanessa chuckled lightly, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Indeed, it seemed that Maggie was deliberately finding fault. If she merely disliked one or two items, it would be understandable. However, at present, she criticises every single piece. What else could it be, if not intentional? "Maggie, perhaps your design philosophy simply doesn't align with Ms. Annie's. You may not appreciate her designs, but unfortunately, I quite like them." With an innocent look, she picked up the jewellery from the display tray, praising it earnestly.
Seeing Vanessa smooth things/over, Joseph's expression softened slightly.
"What Vanessa said is right. In that case, you can pick out a few pieces of jewellery you like for yourself. Also, pick out a few for Mom, Grandma, and Sierra as well." 273 11:49 Sat, 18 May Mu Chapter 132 A Pair of Foolish Persons Upon hearing this, Vanessa couldn't contain her joy.
After all, her family background and financial resources were hurdles she couldn't overcome. Even though she had the support of Madam Adam now, the Adams weren't fools. They wouldn't just give her a large of money to spend recklessly.
people Moreover, even if Madam Adam took her to choose, she couldn't show too much excitement, lest p suspect her motives.
But it was different for Joseph. He knew about her family background, and now he made it clear that he wanted to support her.
Then what about Maggie? Vanessa deliberately inquired, looking at Maggie with eyes that couldn't conceal her pride and boastfulness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Since she doesn't like it, let's forget about it," Joseph said calmly, giving her a glance.
With a slight smirk on her lips, Maggie looked at them as if they were fools.
A designer's dissatisfaction with her own work, yet these two fools were praising it.so much. If Annie were happy about it, she must have lost her mind.
"Emily, I know that the jewellery at this counter isn't for sale, but I really love them. Almost them. every piece catches my eye. I wonder if you could request the designer to make an exception and consider my request.
With a sincere gaze, Vanessa looked at Emily, already having chosen several pieces for herself in her mind.
e At the stime, she was also scouting other suitable styles for Olivia, Madam Cameron, and a few others. Emily hesitated for a moment, looking somewhat awkward.
Vanessa then added, "I really love these jewelleries. I truly appreciate and identify with Annie's design philosophy. Could you please help us communicate this to her?" Emily hesitated momentarily, then nodded, saying, "Alright, please wait a moment." Another sales representative stepped forward to assist them, taking over from Emily.
Maggic ignored the two and instead focused on the works displayed on other showcases. Axinie is a bold and innovative designer. From her N designs, she could gain snew insights. "This one is nice," she remarked, eyeing a classic ruby necklace displayed on the showcase, unable to resist complimenting it.
