Chapter 24

Sophia immediately shook her head in fear, stuttering, “No, no, I didn’t mean that.”

Violet chuckled, not too pleased, and said, “Just kidding, no need to take it seriously. You can call me Violet. Since you’re my assistant, work well with me and strive to become an assistant designer as soon as possible.”

Sophia nodded eagerly. “I’ll work hard, I promise.”

A designer assistant usually did odd jobs, while an assistant designer could create design drafts independently and even participate in various competitions. Violet looked her up and down and added, “Oh, one more thing, dress a bit more formally when you come in tomorrow.”

Sophia hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Patrick walked toward his office while speaking, “Select three well–known advertisers for collaboration. More investment is always better, but too many ads can compromise the competition’s integrity.”

Nelson quickly nodded and added, “Also, everyone’s attention is now on that identical design between the Starlight Jewelry Competition and the Century Jewelry Competition. While it’s true that this design is indeed Miss Webb’s, and she has enough evidence to prove it, the appeal process hasn’t started yet, which means her design is still considered disputed. According to the competition rules, disputed designs cannot be entered. How do you suggest we handle this?”
