A Habit of Chatting With the Designer
In the studio, Charlotte listened attentively as the girl Leanna had assigned to her introduced the
structure of the place, product arrangements, and batch numbering as well as how to run the cashier,
print invoices, and enter the accounts. It was all things she had never known. Soon, Charlotte’s focus
drifted to the cafe opposite even though her gaze was still fixed on Leanna.
A hand waving before her eyes made her come abruptly back to attention and the shopgirl asked her,
“Have you remembered everything I told you?”
Charlotte replied uncertainly, “Maybe?”
The shopgirl could see that she didn’t and sighed, about to repeat her words when a customer came in.
The shop assistant thereafter informed her, “Go take a seat. I’ll tell you about it later.”
“Alright, thank you.” Charlotte settled obediently on the couch and soon, a gorgeous woman wearing
sunglasses came in.
The shopgirl quickly approached the woman. “Hello, how can I help you?”
The woman removed her sunglasses. “I want to custom-make a ring.”
“Alright, please follow me to the lounge and I’ll make a detailed record.”
“It’s too troublesome. I want to see your boss directly.”
The girl apologized. “Sorry, Miss. This is part of our store’s procedure.”
The woman crossed her arms, looking reluctant. “What procedure? Can’t you change it? Plus, you are
here to run a business, right? Your purpose is to serve your customers. You don’t need me to tell you
that.”
The shopgirl paused, sounding hesitant. “Then please wait a moment. I’ll ask my superior.”
The woman made an idle noise of assent and sat on a nearby couch, right opposite Charlotte who was
already drowsy. The woman crossed her pale legs and placed one hand on the armrest as she looked
at Charlotte. “Are you here to custom-make something too?”
Charlotte stopped mid-yawn and shook her head. “I work here.”
The woman’s expression shifted minutely as she studied Charlotte’s outfit, probably thinking there was
something wrong with the girl since she was working here despite being clad head-to-toe in luxury
items.
The shopgirl came out soon after. “Hello, my boss is already waiting in the lounge. I’ll take you there.”
The woman replied distractedly in assent and got up while holding her purse. After the woman was
gone, Charlotte stretched herself and finally finished yawning.
After the shopgirl had taken the woman to the lounge, she closed the door and went off to make coffee.
The woman sat opposite Leanna. “So, you are McK?”
Leanna smiled. “Hello, how may I address you?”
“Call me Freya.”
“Okay. What kind of ring do you want?”
Freya leaned back against the couch and smiled. “I have a habit of chatting with the designer first
before picking her. If her character and behavior suit my taste, I will ask her to help me design
something.”
Leanna raised her eyebrows but did not say anything. “What do you want to talk about?”
“I heard that you were the winner of the Emerging Designer Competition, yet you voluntarily let go of
the chance to study in Aeras, right?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
Leanna maintained a polite smile. “It’s personal and I can’t tell you about it.”
Freya considered it. “It’s okay if you don’t want to disclose it. You beat so many capable designers with
more experience than you in the designer competition several months ago to get the top spot. Do you
have anything to say about that?”
“If I was humbler, I would say I got lucky or that all my seniors weren’t at their best. However, you
clearly don’t want such an answer since you asked about it in that way. I could only say that it was my
ability.”
Freya probably did not expect her to answer in such a fashion and she was stunned before smiling. “I
saw your designs before and they look captivating, but not to the point where you beat them based on
your ability.”
“Everyone has their own opinions and interpretations get the approval of all the judges when I
participated.”
“I agree with what you’ve said.”
Leanna continued, “Do you have anything else you want to talk about?”
Freya raised her eyebrows. “Of course. To be honest, I am very curious about you. So, I want to talk
more with you.”
The shopgirl brought in their coffees at that very moment and was frightened by the atmosphere in the
room. She quickly put down their cups and left.
Leanna replied, “Only about work-related issues. If you want to ask about personal issues, we may
regretfully have to stop here.”
Freya picked up her coffee and took a sip. “Don’t worry. I will only be discussing the designs with you.”
After a moment, she went on, “What do you think of Queenie Wojzicki’s designs?”
Leanna paused and remained silent.
Freya put down her cup. “Why do you look that way? Queenie is somewhat famous in the jewelry
designer community. Is it strange that I mentioned her?”
“No, it’s nothing to do with the designer community.”
“Then…”
“Let’s just talk about designs,” Leanna interrupted Freya. “Since you asked the question, I’ll answer
based on her work. Queenie has always worked hard and it’s clear that she learned a lot in Aeras, but
her work is mostly done just for the sake of designing and has no soul.”
“Oh?”
Leanna elaborated, “I don’t know what her style was like in Aeras and won’t comment on it, but she has
been targeting me after her return in hope of exceeding and crushing me in every area. That’s why all
her designs are always improvements based on my work and so lack her own style.”
Freya tilted her head, seemingly pondering this.
Leanna enquired, “Do you have any other questions? Is my answer palatable to you?”
Freya laughed. “That’s about it. I’ll be frank with you. I loved Queenie’s designs in Aeras and she was
my personal designer. I thought that she should be the champion of the designer competition, and I
was curious about who exactly could snatch that from her.”
Leanna smiled without saying anything.
Freya said, “I did hear that she cheated in the designer competition by getting someone to help her.
However, I believe that if she had performed according to her standards, she might be able to rival
you.”
“Maybe.”
Freya continued, “Okay, I’ll stop beating around the bush. I came to see you so you can help me design
a set of wedding rings. I can’t decide on my requirements, but they will be fulfilled as long as I like the
design you did.”
