“Ms. Hawkins, there must be a unique design story behind such a remarkable design. Can you share it with us?” someone asked eagerly.

Celia smiled gracefully and said confidently, “Actually, this artwork was inspired by a show I attended in France.

“Wow, Ms. Hawkins, you really have a unique understanding of design. It’s no wonder you’ve produced such an excellent piece.

“I’m interested to know if you’re currently considering a partnership with a design studio. A designer as exceptional as you would be a valuable addition to our studio.

“Our company specializes in fashion too. A talented designer like you should consider our company once you graduate.”

With that, the person handed Celia a business card.

Celia accepted it with a smile and politely replied, “Thank you!”
