“What’s the matter?”
Abigail put her bag away and eyed an excited Luna curiously.
“Take a look at Twitter yourself.”
Luna waved her phone. She couldn’t hide her excitement.
Puzzled, Abigail checked Twitter, only to find that the official announcement from the production team of Top Designer had topped the trending list. It was even labeled as the hottest news.
She glanced through the announcement. It was a brief statement announcing the fact that Alana would be joining the panel as a special guest, as well as a summary of the program.
“Did you see it, Abigail? Our studio is on the trending list too!”
Luna shook Abigail by the shoulders in exhilaration. The two of them had slaved away night after night so that the studio could achieve such success.
Abigail patted Luna on the shoulder before checking the comments.
The commenters left mixed feedback regarding the special guest.
‘This studio isn’t an international brand, right? I don’t think I’ve heard of them before.’
‘I bought an evening gown from L.Moon before! They have exquisite designs and my gown flowed beautifully. Looking forward to the program!’
‘I heard that Alana’s designs are all one of a kind. She never repeats any of her designs. Let me see just how great of a designer she is.’
…
The comments were divided. L.Moon was a high-end brand with a niche following, but they were now able to get their name out there to the masses with the help of the program. If they could seize this chance to promote the brand well, their reputation would surely soar to even greater heights.
Once Abigail was done reading through Twitter, Luna piped up with sparkling eyes, “If we can successfully raise L.Moon’s profile this time, we’ll be buried in new orders…”
Looks like you’re imagining yourself being buried in money already, Abigail thought to herself.
“By the way, don’t forget to log into Alana’s Twitter account and respond to the announcement.”
Amid her glee, Luna didn’t forget about work.
“Oh. That’s right.” Abigail switched to the Twitter account that belonged to Alana. As she got ready to respond to the announcement, she started reading it more seriously.
Immediately, she noticed something.
A familiar name was listed second in the official list of selected models.
“Did Kevin tell you that Joan is one of the main models?”
After a moment of silence, Abigail showed her screen to Luna.
When discussing the collaboration, Kevin only mentioned that three of the main models would be listed at the top of the list.
Abigail didn’t think that Joan would be one of them.
“Nope! He didn’t even mention it.”
Luna stared at the screen in confusion. The moment she saw the list, her expression darkened. “What do they mean by this? Are they trying to disgust us on purpose?”
Abigail didn’t respond. She flipped through the comments again, and soon, she spotted Joan’s Twitter account.
She clicked on Joan’s profile. Joan’s pinned tweet included two photos of her with someone else, as well as a photo of an exquisite meal.
From the angle of her photos, one could tell that she was leaning against a man’s shoulders with a look of absolute bliss.
The person in the photos with her was even more eye-catching. He had a tall nose and an indifferent gaze. Even though only his side profile could be seen, it was easy enough for people to identify him as Sean Graham, the president of Graham International.
In the photos, Joan’s fair neck was a little pink, fueling everyone’s imagination.
Although it wasn’t extremely obvious, the keen eyes of the commenters on Twitter spotted it.
Abigail’s face hardened. She looked at the comments.
The commenters were all stirred up. Her tweet had almost as many comments as the production team’s official announcement, and the number was steadily rising. Everyone was praising her for her good looks, gorgeous figure, and great talent.
Two comments received the most likes.
‘Miss Gorgeous is already the future wife of the company president, but she’s still working so hard on her career. Best of luck!’
‘I heard a rumor saying that Sean Graham invested a ton of money in the program just so she can get on it. I’m guessing that this program was made to promote her. Isn’t it wonderful to be so loved by someone?’
As more and more people left comments, Joan’s followers increased as well. They were all convinced that Joan was Sean’s future wife.
Even a few lesser-known models from East Joy Talent commented on the tweet. Although they carefully selected their words, they were basically wishing Joan well in her relationship.
The shirt that Sean wore in the photos was the one whose button Abigail ripped off last night.
Noticing Abigail’s gradually darkening expression, Luna took the phone from Abigail. After scrolling through the comments, her eyes blazed with fury.
“Did Kevin team up with Sean to toy with us as if we’re fools? Did they make this program just to disgust us? It shouldn’t be called Top Designer. It should be just called Kissing Up to the Mistress!”
As Luna fumed in anger, Abigail hastily took the phone back. She was afraid that Luna would throw the phone.
It was Abigail’s phone.
“Why are you so upset? I’m not,” Abigail said with a faint smile.
“Since it’s already been decided, we should just accept it with an open mind. It doesn’t matter. Either way, this will benefit L.Moon. We can’t give up on this opportunity just because we don’t want to see Joan. It’s not worth it.”
Abigail sat at her desk and took up her pen as she got ready to rework the designs that she wasn’t pleased with.
“You’re right. There’s no guarantee that we’ll be assigned to the same team as her anyway.”
Since Abigail wasn’t mad, there was no reason for Luna to get riled up on her behalf. She pursed her lips and begrudgingly set this issue aside for now.
Soon after the production team’s official announcement, the phone at the studio began ringing off the hook. The sudden spotlight brought the studio a large number of new orders. Many clients wanted to have an outfit designed by Alana before the program became even more popular. Luna and the sales team were extremely busy. Soon, they experienced what it was like for the brand’s popularity to rise, just as Abigail had said.
The power of the internet couldn’t be underestimated. This was something the two women came to understand today. In just a single day, the studio maxed out on their orders. Some of the customers who were worried about not being able to get their hands on an outfit asked to order all the available designs. Even last season’s designs had been ordered too.
