Chapter 140
Dulcie shook her head. “No, it’s a family issue.”
When Silvia heard this, she stopped asking questions. “Okay, I understand. If you need help, just call me anytime.”
“Okay.”
Not long after Dulcie left, Silvia received a call from the organizer of a local fashion design
competition.
“Miss Pond, this year’s competition will be held in Ryoln City next month. We’d like to invite you to be one of our panel members. Would you be available?”
Since Silvia had won the design competition for three years, the organizer would Invite her as a panel member whenever they started registrations.
In the past, she wanted to take care of Neil, so she would turn them down all the time.
She contemplated for a while before she agreed.
“Sure, please send me the time and venue. I’ll arrange my schedule accordingly.”
The caller remained silent for a few seconds. Silvia did not hear a reply, and her eyes shone with
confusion.
“Hello? Can you hear me? Has the call been disconnected?”
“I can hear you! I’ll send the time and venue to your phone right now!”
“Okay.”
After the call ended, the staff member sent her the details and went to his supervisor’s office in
excitement.
“Mr. Campbell, Miss Pond has agreed to be a panel member!”
Mr. Campbell’s eyes shone with disbelief. He raised his head and stared at the staff member. “Are you sure you heard her correctly?”
“Yes! She even asked me to send her the time and venue just now!”
After Mr. Campbell confirmed that Silvia had truly agreed, he immediately said, “Call the PR Department and ask them to release the news about Elia being a member!”
“Okay!”
The news spread speedily and soon became a trending topic on Twitter. The comments below were from designers who expressed their desire to sign up for the competition.
[If I receive a comment from Elia, participating in this competition won’t seem that bad!]
[I heard that Elia’s been very low key. The organizer invited her many times before, but she never agreed. Is she joining the panel this time because she’s looking for an apprentice?]
[Didn’t Elia establish a studio? Perhaps she wants to recruit a designer. That’s why she joined.]
[Ah! My idol! I heard that during the finals, we’ll need to design something on the spot, and the panel
idol!] members will comment on it. If I can’t make it to the finals, I’ll just buy a ticket to see my
The discussion on Twitter was on fire. Ada naturally learned about it as well and signed up for the competition.
She had previously won some awards in the design competitions abroad. Since she was about to join the local market, she needed to perform well in a local design competition. Only then would others be convinced of her talent.
Just then, she remembered that Neil had agreed to purchase MY Corporation for her.
She hesitated for a while before she called him.
“Can I help you?”
Neil’s voice was slightly cold. It was completely different from the past when he would sound gentle.
Ada bit her bottom l*p. She worked past her hesitation and slowly said, “Neil, you previously mentioned that you’d buy me MY Corporation so that I could practice with it. Do you still remember?”
He stopped looking at his documents. “Yes, I remember. But something’s happened, so I’ll give you another company later.”
Ada was a little lost, and her voice also became slightly lower. “When will that be?”
“In three months at most.”
“Okay. Thank you, Neil”
“I have a meeting soon. Goodbye.”
She was filled with sorrow after Neil hung up. No matter how busy he was in the past, he would wait
for her to hang up first. He was clearly not as caring anymore.
It was all be
It was all because of Silvia!
Ada’s eyes shone with ruthlessness. When she reached the same heights as Neil, he would realize that Silvia was not good enough for him at all. She was the most suitable partner for him!
Over in Remus Corporation, Neil called Curtis to his office and said, “Compile the information on Perficient for me. In addition, make preparations to transfer Perficient to Ada’s name.”
Once he finished this, he would no longer owe Ada anything.
Curtis nodded. “Okay, Mr. Remus.” “Alright. Carry on with your work.”
