Chapter 32 The Design Competition
Patricia put her hand on the mouse, and quickly searched for information about the latest competition
of Crawford Group.
Exquisite illustrations and many stylish fonts were shown on the web page. Her attention instantly fell
on the theme of the competition, and the theme focused on youth, future, and hope.
Patricia's beautiful eyes narrowed gradually, and countless inspirations slipped through her mind.
Youth, future and hope?
The calmer Patricia became, the more anxious people around were.
Several female designers moved the chair to the female staff who deceived Patricia earlier.
"Lola, this new girl, she seems not simple."
"She was more than complicated. She was brought directly out of the President's office by Marilyn"
“Although she is in the same position as us, her cubicle has the best view.”
“That’s right. Is she the relative of the President?”
“Come on, the President’s relative couldn’t be so dowdy, because everything she wore was from eBay.”
“Since she’s not a relative, could she be his secret lover?”
Lola couldn’t stand anymore, she snorted coldly, and her eyes were full of disdain when she looked at
Patricia.
"Lover? If she is really his lover, how could he put her in such a position?"
The women around laughed sarcastically when they heard Lola.
"Yeah, I don't think it's possible! Although that woman looks nice, but our President is not that vulgar!"
"Since she is not a relative or a lover, the President still thinks highly of her. There is only one
explanation."
"What?"
"She must be a design genius! What matters most to our President? Design talent."
The women around frowned.
If Patricia was his relative or lover, there would be no such trouble. If she really was the kind of genius
with design talent that the President cared most about, that was the real trouble.
Lola squinted her eyes, and then said, "Don't worry, she will definitely not be a genius. If so, how can Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
he put her in the same position with us?"
Listening to Lola's words, the designers around sighed with relief.
"Yes, yes! How could she be a genius?"
"Crawford Group is the world's best fashion design company. We enter this company because we are
outstanding."
"Yes! Since she is here, she is probably at the same level with us."
"Lola, you are very likely to win this competition this time."
"Yes, yes! You are the most talented designer here. It must be you! You will be promoted soon, and
don't forget us.”
Lola squinted and smiled, "How come? Everyone is good at it, so naturally everyone has a chance."
Her gaze was fixing on Patricia who was thinking with one hand holding her head. Although she felt it
was very unlikely that Patricia was a genius with design talent, she still did not completely exclude this
possibility. No matter what, she had to take precautions against this new comer.
Patricia took out the pencil from her bag, and drew on and off. She frowned slightly, youth, future, and
hope, then should it be red or green? She put her pencil gently on the draft.
Now her thoughts were a bit chaotic, and she couldn’t come up with any inspiration. Patricia took the
pencil and the draft away without hesitation, and then took a long breath.
Her thoughts were chaotic now, and it was not suitable for drawing. If she forced herself to draw, she
couldn’t get what she wanted.
Time passed by, and when it was time for lunch, most of her colleagues stood up and left.
The noisy surroundings instantly quieted down. Patricia took out her phone, then logged into WeChat
and found the pinned contact. Benjamin Coleman's bright smile was on the top.
She clicked on the contact, and then gently said to the phone, "My sweet baby, have you eaten yet?"
Not long after, Benjamin sent her a voice message.
“Mommy, I’m done! The food here is not as delicious as I cooked, and I just ate a small bowl of rice.
Where's mommy? Have you had lunch?”
Listening to the soft and cute voice from the mobile phone, Patricia felt that her exhaustion had
disappeared, and her face was filled with a soft smile.
She said tenderly to the phone, "Of course I ate. You know me, I can't stay hungry. I have to eat when I
am hungry.”
“That’s good for you. How did you feel at work the first day? If you encounter any difficulties, you must
tell me.”
Patricia chuckled and shook her head, "You little naughty, don't you believe me?"
“That’s not true. The person I believe the most is you! Mommy, you are the smartest!”
Patricia touched the photo taken with Benjamin as her wallpaper, she missed him already. She had
only been separated from her son for a morning, and she had already missed him.
Benjamin, who was far away, seemed to read Patricia’s mind, and send a photo to her immediately.
Patricia clicked on the photo sent by Benjamin, and gently slid her hand over his happy face. She
couldn’t help but smile brightly.
She put her phone aside, and then picked up the pencil, and drew constantly. After a while, she
finished the rough sketch.
The sweet-style boat neck paired with eye-catching marshmallow puff sleeves, and the skirt of the top
was ruffle trimmed. And the package hip skirt was decorated with array of petals. On both hemlines of
the skirt, there were two ribbon bowknots that connected the waist and the body.
The design was unique yet retained the sweet youth style.
Patricia put away the sketch after perfecting the corners, and carefully wrote the theme of the design
below.
Youth, future, and hope.
She frowned and shook her head, feeling that this drawing was not perfect yet, and there were still
some flaws, but she couldn't tell now.
