Chapter 107 The Dress Was a Hit
Because of the dress designed by Nicole, Wendy totally stood out in school and even became one of the popular topics within the country. The girly and youthful dress received the praises of everyone unanimously, and it also turned Wendy into a huge Internet celebrity all of a sudden.
‘This dress is amazing. It’s so pretty!’
‘Yeah, a girl around the age of eighteen should be dressed like this. So youthful and energetic!’
The comments on the Internet were overwhelmingly positive, and after someone later revealed that this dress was designed by the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, Lisa, everyone couldn’t help but crowd to her social media profile and fawn over her.
Even Nicole didn’t expect that the dress she simply designed for Wendy would be so popular because there wasn’t so much commotion when she usually launched new designs at F&M Apparel.
After attending her own graduation, Wendy flew back home and went to look for Nicole at the Gardner Corporation right after touching down.
Meanwhile, Nicole was making coffee in the pantry when she heard the sounds of footsteps behind her. Turning her head, she saw that it was Wendy, who broke into a smile upon seeing her and greeted her sweetly, “Hi, Nicole.”
Even though there weren’t many people in the pantry, they all saw Wendy, and they were surprised to find that Nicole was so close with her.
“Hey, how was your graduation night?” Nicole asked casually. Although she had already seen the news on the Internet, she still showed her concern in person.
At the mention of graduation night, Wendy put on a wider smile, and she hugged Nicole’s arm with both of her hands, saying happily, “Nicole, let’s talk inside. There are so many things that I want to tell you.”
Because she wore the dress designed by Nicole, Wendy became the talk of the town at the graduation night. Nicole chuckled as she gazed at the young girl, who was acting spoiled to her. “Sure,” she said softly.
Back in the office, Wendy plopped herself onto the couch jauntily and looked at Nicole, saying, “Nicole, I love the dress you designed. My birthday is coming in a month; please design another dress for me.”
Nicole didn’t turn her down. Despite the fact that she was now the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, she would often accept a few special orders, so she wasn’t unfamiliar with this.
“Sure. Tell me what style you would like this time, and I’ll draft you the design in a few days’ time when I’m free.”
Hearing that Nicole had agreed to her request, Wendy quickly voiced out her own ideas. “I hope it’s something different from the last time, and everyone would be amazed by it—”
Her sentence was interrupted by someone knocking on the door from the outside, and before anyone could answer, the door swung open and Joanna came in.
Twisting her head, Wendy saw her and greeted politely, “Hello, Joanna.”
Joanna didn’t seem one bit surprised to see Wendy, and she flashed her a smile. “Wendy, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Both of them were on rather close terms; after all, Joanna was the designer for the dresses on her birthdays before this.
“I planned to look for you after chatting with Nicole,” Wendy answered sincerely.
Joanna’s gaze fell on Nicole, and her eyes dimmed a little, but there was still a trace of smile on her face. “Okay, since you have some business with Nicole, then I won’t bother you girls.”
Even though it was not obvious from Joanna’s face, Nicole still noticed her change in expression, and she stood up, saying to Joanna, “Is there anything you need, Director Schmidt?”
Joanna raised the document in her hand. “It’s not something important—just some general directions for the summer designs. I came over to speak about it with you, but since Wendy is here, you can have a chat first, and I’ll be back when you’re done,” she said and walked out directly.
