Juliet and Karen sat facing the workboard, and both seemed silent.
Time passed quietly. Juliet seemed to be holding her head with a confused expression, and Karen sighed.
"Juliet..." She hesitated to speak.
Seeing Juliet's sad face, she guessed that Juliet must not have come up with an idea. However, Juliet is someone who is so positive and motivated that she never gives up easily.
Only, this challenge was too difficult and like a matter of life and death. To work with a company like JAX, they may never get a second chance at life.
"I'll cook you something to eat. Only on a full stomach can we find inspiration." Karen got up from the chair, patted Juliet lightly on the shoulder, and comforted her.
Juliet stared at the model information sheet in her hand. The amount of model information is very specific, height 191 cm, weight 75kg, shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, arm length, leg length, and so on.
Overall, Juliet reached the conclusion that the model was a young man. What model design suits him? The level set by JAX is very high and not easy to pass.
Juliet had a headache, and the room was so quiet that only Karen's movements in the kitchen could be heard.
Immediately, her phone rang. That's JJ.
To avoid being seen by Karen, Juliet picked up the phone and walked to the balcony while speaking in a low voice, "Hello, JJ."
"Juju!" JJ's voice was full of energy. He was very cheerful and excited when he heard Juliet's voice. "I'm home! When will you be back? What are you going to make for my dinner tonight?"
Listening to JJ's hopeful tone, Juliet bit her lip and looked back at her desk.
"JJ, looks like I can't accompany you tonight. My work is very urgent."
"…."
JJ was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds until Juliet felt anxious. "JJ, honey?"
"Then… can we make a deal?" JJ changed the subject and prepared a small plan.
"What deal?" Juliet didn't know what the little boy wanted.
"Since you can't come back to accompany me tonight, can you participate in the 'Parent's Day celebration at the kindergarten? I don't want Dean to accompany me." Instead, JJ wants to show off Juliet to DD.
Juliet didn't know how she should answer this. At the celebration of parents' day, shouldn't parents be present? Why did Dean replace Justin?
Suddenly, Juliet had an idea. Since Dean can participate as Justin's Assistant, she can also pretend to be Justin's Secretary and attend the celebrations.
"Okay!" Juliet immediately agreed. The most urgent thing is to finish the work first.
When Juliet did agree, JJ's eyebrows shot up in excitement. This deal is really an advantage!
Before hanging up the phone with a satisfied smile, JJ didn't forget to ask carefully, "Juju, are you in a better mood? Was my kiss this morning useful?"
Seeing that JJ was still thinking about this, Juliet smiled and replied, "Very useful. First, I have to thank my dear JJ. I had a great opportunity today, and you are my lucky star."
"That's good. Juju… I will wait for your return."
After saying goodbye, JJ hung up with satisfaction.
The tense atmosphere that previously enveloped the entire room had also relaxed a bit because of the brief conversation.
Juliet heaved a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to turn around and retreat, two words suddenly crossed her mind.
'Lucky star.'
Juliet whispered and repeated the words. At this moment, inspiration suddenly appeared.
"Perfect!"
Juliet rushed into the kitchen and approached Karen excitedly. "Karen, I know what to do. Come on, come with me to the cloth market!"
….
Karen is brought by Juliet to the largest cloth trading market in City J. The two of them choose the fabric they like for a long time.
Before the market closed, Juliet finally got the fabric she wanted.
After returning to the rented house, she worked non-stop on drawing and planning. She then left it to Karen to complete the sewing and production of the entire suit.
Their understanding and cooperation went very well.
When the suit was finished, day and night had changed, and it was eleven o'clock in the afternoon.
There are three hours left before the work is submitted. Unfortunately, neither of them had time to make up for their hours of sleep, so they hastily made food, showered and changed, then went to JAX to hand in their work.
In Juliet and Karen's hopeful eyes, Morgan opened the coat case cover.
Juliet's black suit looks casual, and the style is ordinary, nothing special.
Morgan furrowed his brows, and he looked at Juliet helplessly.
"It seems Miss Juliet is more suited to being a model than a designer."
Director Morgan weighed the paper bag in his hand a few times and then put it back down. He didn't even take the clothes out of the box.
Sensing the disappointment in the Director's tone, Juliet hastily held her back as Morgan got up to leave the negotiation room. "Director Morgan, hold on. Can you turn off the curtains and lights in this room?"
Director Morgan's steps stopped. He turned and looked at Juliet in bewilderment, while Juliet just smiled gracefully and calmly.
A moment later, Morgan nodded and winked at his Assistant.
After that, the curtains were closed, and the lights were turned off, dimming the negotiation room.
Juliet and Karen looked at each other, and the two cooperated. One person took a coat out of the box and showed it in front of them, and the other stepped back and turned on the cell phone's flashlight to shine a light on the suit.
An unexpected scene appeared in front of them. Although the black suit initially seemed ordinary, when illuminated by the light from the phone, a pattern of golden stars appeared wherever the phone's light stopped. With the intensity of light, the level of color clarity is also different.
Morgan's eyes lit up. "This…."
"I layered two different fabrics to achieve this effect. Under the catwalk spotlight, this outfit is an eye-catching design, and under the stage, it's the perfect suit."
Juliet's explanation made Morgan smile. "Interesting."
