Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Design Director
The two of them, with appropriate smiles, announced to everyone the completion of the signing ceremony.
The camera flash froze this moment in time.
Only Evelyn Curtis from the jury panel was unhappy with this outcome, their brilliant smiles piercing her eyes.
Without the anticipated difficulties, Justin Battleson smoothly sealed the agreement for Charlotte Thompson’s designs.
The result veered drastically from her expectation, leaving her unable to regain her composure.
Evelyn Curtis racked her brains, but still couldn’t prevent this "tragedy" from happening.
Now, she could only watch Charlotte transform into the center of attention.
And stand next to her man, shaking hands, taking pictures together.
Suddenly, Evelyn Curtis remembered her other identity—Joy, and became even more upset.
With Joy’s reputation, Charlotte could soon get a firm foothold in the Druarus design industry with the help of Vanguard Jewelry.
Yet, she hadn’t found any evidence to refute this identity and could only let Charlotte rise triumphantly.
Upon the conclusion of the contract signing, Evelyn Curtis was filled with frustration and regret, completely disregarding her image.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have kept Justin Battleson in the dark about the member.
"She can’t sign with Vanguard Jewelry!" Evelyn cried, her eyes red with fury, the sharp sound echoing backstage as she slammed her fist against the wall.
The judges who just came off the stage looked at her in surprise.
after all, the drama between her and Charlotte had even made it onto the trends.
Her conduct today had significantly tarnished her image, leaving the crowd in disbelief.
With such an outcome, no one stood by her side.
They rather thought she was losing a lot of value as a person.
"Evelyn, there are many people here, we should go back to the dressing room if there’s something," Lucy lowered her voice anxiously to dissuade her at the side.
The camera kept sweeping over, their current position could easily be caught unintentionally.
The live broadcast was still going on, once exposed, Evelyn’s image would be ruined.
No matter how Lucy tried to remind her, Evelyn just couldn’t control her temper.
All her attention was on Justin Battleson now.
"Would you be interested in joining Vanguard Jewelry as the chief designer, guiding other company designers," the intention of Justin Battleson’s visit was clear."
He was a man who valued ability, as long as Charlotte could handle the position, he could offer a high salary.
Of course, another reason was that he wanted to ascertain if she was Sophie Allen.
Charlotte glanced at the furious Evelyn backstage, and failed to voice her refusal.
With a turn of her eye, she concocted a new plan, gracefully accepting Justin’s offer.
"I am honoured by your recognition. However, I wonder if my abilities will satisfy the company?"
She modestly deflected, making a few remarks intended to provoke Evelyn.
Deliberately leading Evelyn to believe that Justin might be interested in her.
Seeing Evelyn’s anxious look, Charlotte felt relieved.
"Silly Charlotte, what a great opportunity, you should agree quickly!"
"If your talent isn’t enough to please them, whose will be?"
"Being a top-notch designer in Ashton, it’s their good fortune to sign you, Vanguard Jewelry!"
"Oh my, this is making me anxious! Just agree, Charlotte!"
The live broadcast was still going on, and the audience couldn’t help but feel anxious for her, urging her to sign the contract.
Charlotte saw the barrage of comments on the big screen and was amused into a chuckle.
The smile on her face was warm as the spring breeze, enough to melt icebergs.
