Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

In Stella’s studio…

The employee was introducing the structure of the studio, the display and arrangement of goods, article numbers

and the accounting procedure to Elaine, while Elaine listened to it carefully.

She hadn’t experienced these matters. After a short while, although Elaine’s eyes were still fixed on that girl, her

mind had drifted to the milk tea store across the street.

Elaine only came to her sense when she spotted someone was waving her hands in front of her eyes.

The girl asked, “Have you remembered what I said just now?”

Elaine replied with uncertainty, “May… Maybe.”

Judging from her expression, the girl could tell that Elaine didn’t remember it. She heaved a long sigh. When she

prepared to reintroduced it, a customer walked into the store.

The girl told Elaine, “Take a seat over there. I will restate it to you later.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Elaine obediently walked to the sofa and took a seat.

After a short while, a stunning beauty who was wearing a pair of sunglasses walked into the store.

A sales clerk immediately walked over and greeted, “Lady, do you need my help?”

The woman took away her sunglasses, “I want a customized ring.”

“Okay. Please follow me to the lounge and I will record your requirements in detail.”

“It’s too troublesome. I want to meet up with your boss.”

The sales clerk replied, “Sorry, Lady, this is our procedure.”

The woman wrapped her arms in front of her chest, seeming to be dissatisfied, “What’s wrong with it? Can’t you

change your procedure? Moreover, aren’t you doing business? Your tenet should be serving and satisfying your

customers. Come on, do you need me to teach you this?”

The sales clerk was in a dilemma when she heard the words. After a while of hesitation, she said, “Then please wait

for a minute, I will ask about my boss’ opinion.”

The woman groaned a nasal sound lazily. She walked to the sofa and then sat down.

The one sitting opposite to her was the sleepy Elaine.

The woman crossed her fair legs, put one elbow on the arm of the sofa and then looked towards Elaine, asking,

“Are you also here for a customized product?”

Elaine, who was yawning, shook her head, “I’m working here.”

There was a slight change in the woman’s expression. She looked up and down at Elaine to study her dressing.

Maybe she was bewildered that Elaine, who wore luxury articles from the top to toe, was actually working here.

She guessed there might be something wrong with Elaine’s mind.

The sales clerk walked out of the office after a short while, “Lady, our boss is waiting for you in the lounge. Let me

take you there.”

The woman groaned a simple answer nonchalantly, picked up her bag and stood up.

After her leaving, Elaine stretched her arms lazily and yawned again.

After leading the woman to the lounge, the sales clerk closed the door and made coffee for them.

The woman sat opposite Stella, “Are you Ms. Radomil?”

Stella curled her lips into a light smile, “Hello, how should I address you?”

“Just call me Freya.”

“Okay, Freya, what kind of ring do you want to customize?”

Freya leaned against the sofa and smiled, “I have a habit. When coming to a designer, I’d like to talk to him or her

first, and I will only ask the designer to design jewellery for me if I like his or her temper.”

“I heard that you won the first prize in the Young Designers' Contest four years ago, but you gave up on the

opportunity to go to Paris for study, right?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Stella maintained a polite smile on her face while replying, “This is my private and it’s inconvenient to tell you about

this.”

Freya chuckled, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me about this. In the designers’ contest held several months ago,

you defeated many capable designers, many of which are senior to you, and won the first prize. How do you feel?”

“If I’m modest enough, I may say that I was so lucky that those seniors all lost their usual skills that day. However,

since you’ve asked the question, apparently, you don’t want any similar answers. I can just tell you that it’s because

of my ability.”

Freya didn’t expect to get such an answer from Stella and she was stunned. After a pause, she chuckled, “I’ve seen

your works. Indeed they’re inspiring, but it’s not enough to prove that you defeated them with your ability.”

“There’re a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. Likewise, people may have different opinions and

comments on one work. I didn’t get the approval of all judges of the contest back then.”

“I agree with you on this point.”

Stella asked, “Do you have any other questions?”

Freya raised her brows, “Of course. To be honest, I’m very curious about you. So naturally, I have many questions.”

Right at this moment, a sales clerk walked into the lounge with two cups of coffee.

Sensing the weird atmosphere of the room, the girl was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the cups and left

the room.

Stella said, “It’s fine to talk about work-related matters. But if what you want to know about is my private affairs, I

have to say sorry that our talk has to stop here.”

Freya picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip of it, “Rest assured. I will just talk with you about your works.”

She paused and then continued slowly, “What’s your opinion on Modesty’s works?”

Stella paused, and she didn’t reply.

Freya put down the cup and asked, “Why do you show this expression? Modesty is quite famous in the jewellery

design community. Is it so weird for me to mention her?”

“Nope. It has nothing to do with the design community.”

“Then…”

“Let’s talk about the works,” Stella continued, “Now that you’ve asked the question, I will answer it from the aspect

of design. Modesty had been hard-working and it’s not difficult to find that she has learned a lot in Paris. However,

her works lack souls as designing was the reason why Modesty designed most of her works.”

“Oh?”

Stella said blandly, “I don’t know what her design style was like when she was in Paris, and I won’t comment on it.

However, she had been taken me as her target after coming back to the country. She tried to surpass me and

suppress me in every aspect. Therefore, the things she designed were all based on my works. This was because

she wanted to design a better work than mine. In this case, her works lack some uniqueness.”

Freya tilted her head when she heard the words, seeming to be pondering something.

Stella asked, “Do you have any other questions? Do you like my answer?”

Freya pulled herself together and smiled, “Almost. Let me tell you the truth. I liked Modesty’s works very much

when she was in Paris and she was once my exclusive designer. In my opinion, she should win the first prize in the

designers’ contest. I was very curious about who could win her and get the first prize.”

Stella smiled and didn’t reply.

Freya continued, “But I also heard that she cheated in the designers’ contest and found someone to help her. But I

believe that if she could perform normally, she might win you.”

“Maybe.”

Freya continued, “Okay, let’s cut the craps. I’m here to ask you to design a pair of wedding rings for me. As for the

requirements, I don’t know either. But if I like your design, it means the deal is done.”
