“Of course, these are for you.” Mary smiled and nodded.
The elevator door opened and they walked out. The interns behind them gathered together. “She has lackeys as soon as she becomes a designer! Mary and Owen are disgusting to flatter her because of her abilities.”
“Keep your voice down. Don’t let her hear you. Nell had a conflict with her before and got fired.”

“She has a backup. But her ex-husband has divorced her. Why did he help her?”
“We don’t understand the thoughts of rich people.”
Their voices were heard by Aurora, Mary, and Owen.
Owen’s face turned cold, but he didn’t say anything.
Mary was furious. “I’ll talk to them.”
But her wrist was grabbed. She turned her head and saw Aurora holding a small bottle of biscuits in
one hand and holding her wrist with the other. “Wanna see my new office?”
Aurora turned her head, and her eyes suddenly lit up like stars.
It was as if she hadn’t heard them.
“Aurora…” Mary’s eyes turned red. She felt sorry for Aurora, who worked hard but got smeared.
She also admired Aurora.
Few people had such strong endurance as her.
“They can’t upset me. They make me feel I should go somewhere better.” Aurora smiled casually.
A high position could be challenging. But it enabled her to ignore those people.
As they entered the office, they were shocked.
Aurora couldn’t remember how long it had been since she had stood in a place with such a good
view. The floor-to-ceiling windows were decorated with a beige gauze curtain with a faint
fragrance in the air.
For a moment, she felt like she had returned to her past life.
Mary ran to the window excitedly. “This is great. Are the offices of Malon designers all the same!”
Owen shook his head in envy. “I can only see the CBD building in my office. There is no such a good view.”
They looked at Aurora and asked, “Can we come often in the future?”
“Of course.” Aurora looked at the spacious sofa and coffee table.
She enjoyed the biscuits happily.
That afternoon, the designers were gathered for a meeting. Mary was still an intern, so she could not participate in it.
After Aurora and Owen arrived, they saw a lot of people.
Owen whispered to her, “The front seats are reserved for the four chief designers of Malon
including Iris Eason and Hale Smith. They came back today to shoot the front cover of the fashion
magazine next week.”
“Magazine?”
“Yes, Evelyn, a top magazine. Twelve stars will be invited to shoot a special edition of jewelry.” Owen shared the news with Aurora, “The four chief designers will be responsible for three episodes respectively, but they definitely need assistants.”
Aurora’s eyes lit up.
She liked the chances.
She looked at the front seats. She had seen Hansen and Macy before. The woman in a fitting black dress must be Iris Eason. Beside her was Hale Smith.
Aurora had met Hale before. When she planned to study abroad, she and Hale chose the same design teacher. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
In some way, they were connected.
However, Aurora didn’t study abroad as planned. She wouldn’t try to forge closer links to him. Hale was now the most powerful and influential chief designer who had won countless awards internationally.

Someone went over and spoke to them.
Aurora narrowed her eyes as she watched the man walk up to the stage and pick up the microphone.
“Everyone, please be quiet. We are going to carry out the jewelry shooting of Evelyn. We’ll choose twenty people from you. All the designers are qualified to compete,” said Jay in a gentle voice.
“That’s great. It would be great if I could learn from Hale Smith.”
“I want to be Hansen’s assistant.”
Evervone was excited.
Only Aurora was calm, because Jay hadn’t said the important thing.
He hadn’t announced the rules!
This industry wasn’t fair. Every designer had their own ideas and styles. What they needed were obedient and capable assistants. They didn’t need the assistant’s opinions.
Aurora was okay with that. Compared to most people, she knew what she was. She was no longer the proud girl from a rich family.
However, the others couldn’t wait and seemed joyful, as if they would get the spots.
“Mr. Jim even greeted me this morning.”
“Last year, I was on Mr. Smith’s team. This time, I will definitely…”
They gabbled.
Owen silently lowered his head and remained silent.
“What?” Aurora glanced at him.
Owen smiled bitterly, “I have never been selected. They all have their preferences. I will lose the chance again. There is no fairness.”

Aurora agreed.
But she would not give up on herself at the beginning.
Aurora withdrew her gaze and stopped talking to him. Jay began to announce the rules, “The rules are simple. Draw lots.”
How ridiculous the rules were!
Aurora frowned.
When it was her turn to draw lots on the stage, she felt that Jay’s smile was strange.
She touched something soon.
“Congratulations, you’re Mr. Smith’s assistant,” Jay announced loudly.
It was out of Aurora’s expectations.
The others envied her too. But she felt it was unreal, She glanced at Hale and then looked at Macy next to him.
If she could choose, she would rather work with Macy.
“Go!” Macy silently mouthed.
Aurora hurriedly sat behind Hale.
“You don’t seem very happy to work with me. If you want to work with others, I can help you.” Hale seemed cool. Aurora was not sure if he was angry or not.
Aurora shook her head.
“You are my first choice.”
It sounded a bit ambiguous.
Hale was surprised at first, but then he saw the serious expression on Aurora’s face. There was a
trace of surprise in his eyes. “Have we met somewhere before?”
