Abigail’s Second Life

Despite the design department facing staff shortages, the prospect of treating everyone to a meal had unexpectedly brightened the atmosphere. "You're lucky," quipped the male designer, who was fond of teasing.

This time around, Irene wasn't toiling away solo on her clothing designs as the male designer had generously lent her his expertise.

Irene responded with a gentle smile and chose to remain silent.

Abigail, on the other hand, began to sense something amiss between them but didn't make any overt gestures.

After summoning Irene and Yeezy into the office, Abigail directed her inquiry to Yeezy first. "Have you received any inquiries from anyone wanting to purchase the clothes?"

A smile adorned Yeezy's face as she replied, "I was just about to tell you that someone offered me 9 million to purchase the entire collection."

"From the entertainment industry?" Abigail still favored the idea of selling to up-and-coming stars or those renowned for their acting skills, which would bolster the designer's reputation within the industry and potentially lead to higher sales prices.

"I don't recognize the buyer personally, but here's the number." Yeezy retrieved her phone and passed it over.

Upon accepting the phone, Abigail glanced at the displayed number before copying it and forwarding it to Xavien.

"I'll have someone look into it for you, so hold off on selling for now," Abigail remarked and shot a glance at Irene. "What about yours?"

"There's a museum that's keen on me donating this garment to them. They want to exhibit it to promote culture," Irene revealed. She was secretly quite inclined toward the idea of having it showcased in a

museum.

Abigail looked at her and was momentarily unsure of how to respond.

Luna cleared her throat. "Which museum is it?"
