The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 53

Maeve was briefly taken aback, but she quickly shook her head. "Not at all. I just happened to run into Mr. Brown downstairs when I got here, and since I didn't know my way around, he was kind enough to show me up "But you're incredibly lucky to be assigned to the Morningstar series right off the bat," the short-haired girl remarked. Maeve looked puzzled. "Why do you say that?"

"The Morningstar series is something our company releases annually, targeting high-society socialites. It's been a signature collection for ten years and is hugely popular.

"On top of that, the designers who work on it earn a hefty commission, but only two people get to work on it each year, and you've already secured one of those spots."

Maeve smiled softly. "I think it's just because you all are already busy with other projects, and it wouldn't have looked good for me to be sitting around doing nothing.

With that, she turned and walked away, her high heels clicking sharply on the floor.

Ava rolled her eyes and leaned in to whisper to a bewildered Maeve, "That's our design director, Leah. She's talented but pretty arrogant, and rumor has it she's got a thing for Mr. Brown. So, tread carefully." Maeve glanced at the thick stack of documents in front of her and smiled, choosing not to comment on Ava's remark.

"I'd better get to work. We can chat later."

"Sure thing. If you need any help, just ask," Ava replied cheerfully

The Morningstar series, in particular, had started to feel a bit stale in recent years, with the designs lacking innovation.

Any ideas Maeve could come up with had likely already been used by the designers before her. Earning that high commission was going to be no easy task
