Chapter 66
Charmine was only able to offer a small yet bitter
smile; this would not have happened had she came in
much earlier. As a result, she was stuck with the Ruby
Red collection, and she felt rather vexed as Tiffany
snagged the Avocado Green collection. To be involved
in a showdown with this kind of person was a drag,
through and through.
The manager and his assistants could almost taste the
hostility in the air, but none of them dared to ask too
many questions. Since this was a showdown, it was NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
expected that these two would have some sort of
tension. As long as the magazine shoot turned out fine
—that the hype and popularity of both collections
were high enough and the sales of the Guci products
did well—they were not concerned.
Charmine was done with her makeup when an
assistant pushed out a rack of clothes toward her.
“Ms. Charmine, these will be your outfits for today.
The plan is to start with thirty-two sets of individual
portrait shots before we move on to take a joint
portrait with Ms. Tiffany for the cover photo.”
Charmine’s gaze swept over the rack. Every piece of
clothing was a vibrant red, all in various styles. There
were long skirts, short skirts, dress suits, and
jumpsuits.
While the designs looked rather decent, the color on
these clothes would make anyone feel hot and
uncomfortable on a hot summer’s day. Charmine’s
face was passive and stoic as she carried a set of
clothes into the changing room.
At that moment, Tiffany had already changed into her
outfit and walked out of the changing room. She was
wearing an avocado green mini dress, the sleeves of
the same color in a chiffon design. Tiffany looked
extremely refreshing and matched with a top-knot
bun, the dress made her look youthful and innocentlike.
Even the designer praised her, saying, “The
number one top model is truly the number one top
model. The soul of the dress is perfectly interpreted!”
As soon as Charmine walked out of the changing
room, however, the once cheerful atmosphere soured
a little as they had a small frown on their faces. It was
because of the outfit; a chiffon jacket with its longsleeved
design paired with wide-legged trousers that
were long enough to cover the heels. Even though the
outfit was made out of a thin and light fabric, it
looked hot and stuffy.
With a frown, the head designer scoffed, “I don’t
know who decided to design a red collection for the
summer collection. It’s a waste of Guci’s resources.”
His co-worker did not respond but sighed deeply
instead. In her opinion, summer was not merely
refreshing but also fiery and vibrant. It was a shame
she had forgotten that the warmth of the red color
would create a sense of heat and stuffiness.
Tiffany glanced at Charmine, and her eyes twinkled.
The Ruby Red collection was more suitable for an
autumn release. Alas, it was slated for summer’s
release; no one would buy i t even if Charmine looked
good in the photoshoots.
Tiffany sweetly said, “Sister, I’m going ahead with my
shoot. All the best with yours!” All the best with
looking ridiculous; that was what Tiffany meant.
Charmine ignored her and walked toward the
photographer.
Designer Bmitey followed her and anxiously asked,
“This collection might cause trouble for you. Are you
sure you don’t mind it?”
“We haven’t even started yet. Are you that certain
we’d lose? A designer that isn’t confident in her
designs can’t be a good designer,” came Charmine’s
confident reply.
Glancing at herself in the mirror, Charmine thought
her designs were rather excellent. The workmanship
was excellent, and the material was of superb quality.
When she walked in it, it looked very elegant and
even gave a pleasantly resplendent feeling.
Furthermore, the sleeves were edged with delicate
see-through lace, and i t subtly revealed the person’s
arms. It looked refreshingly unique.
Something was missing, though…
“I can help you if you want to win, but I’ll need you to
make some alterations to these clothes.” Once she
finished speaking, Charmine picked up the scissors
beside her and started snipping away.
The entire photoshoot team was wide-eyed with
shock, especially designer Bmitey! She felt like her
heart was breaking into pieces. Those were the
clothes she slaved over to create. Each piece was a
result of her blood, sweat, and tears, yet here
Charmine was—cutting them!
