Chapter 39 Strawberry Cake

A man in black entered the room, and by the time Christina realized someone was there, the man was already standing before her eyes.

“Yosef? Why are you still here?” she asked.

That day. Yosef was dressed in a black shirt and jeans that made him look even taller than he already

was.

With a long thin coat made of chiffon on the outside, he looked nothing short of dashing. Moreover, his handsome facial features made him look like a model off the cover of a magazine.

Yosef then calmly asked in a concerned tone, “I was about to leave, but I noticed how you’ve been working overtime lately. Hence, I decided to come over to check on you.”

Being a designer himself, he couldn’t help but show another fellow design enthusiast some care.

Christina handed him her design draft and uttered. “I ran into some problems. Please let me know what changes I should make.”

Ever since he was a university undergraduate, Yosef had been working in the industry and representing the company in international design competitions. Within a few years, he gained a reputation for himself, and everyone in the industry knew who he was.

It would be too hypocritical of him if he were to behave modestly.

He took Christina’s design and checked it out thoroughly. It was a design of a men’s suit with a neat and elegant style.

Yosef put the draft aside and replied, “The design is great, but it lacks inspiration.”

“What do you mean?” Christina asked. Is he calling me a dull person?

“Once you have a suit design in mind, you should picture a model wearing it. Only then can you find. the inspiration you’re looking for,” Yosef reminded her earnestly.

Christina had an epiphany as she stared at her design draft.
