Chapter 21 Beautiful Picture​

Stanley asked, “What’s the matter?”

Violet glanced at him, “I’m not sure about it. Mr. Murphy, do you have a lighter?”

Although Stanley didn’t know what she wanted a lighter for, he didn’t ask her. He just took out his lighter from his pocket and gave it to her.

Violet said “thank you” and asked one of his assistants to pour a glass of water.

When the water came, she lifted the uncertain piece of cloth from the ground and lit a corner of the cloth.

When that corner burned to black, she soaked it in water and put it under the nose to smell it.

After smelling it for a few seconds, she smiled and explained, “Because the fabrics are made of different materials, the smell produced after burning is also different. Sometimes in uncertain situations, we can burn it to identify fabric.”

That was it!

Stanley finally knew her purpose for a lighter.

Violet unfolded the cloth. “This is a new type of fabric. Looking at the direction of the lines, it should be used 3D technology to woven with the fiber and leather, so the pattern above is so vivid. If I guessed correctly, its name should be water coloured glaze.”

Hearing that, the two assistants hurriedly went through the remaining materials. They really saw something called water coloured glaze. Looking at the photos, it was exactly the one which Violet was holding now.

“Have you seen it before?” Stanley asked.

Violet shook her head, “No, but I heard about it from my teacher. Mr. Murphy, I didn’t expect you to have the cloth. See, is it beautiful?”

She draped that shinning cloth on her body and turned it around.

The shiny cloth! The gorgeous person! The two similarly eye-catching things should obviously be in contradiction, but at this moment they were perfectly integrated. She was like a fairy, which made the somewhat dim warehouse lit up a bit.

The so-called beautiful picture was nothing more than this scene.

Both assistants were dumbfounded.

Although Stanley was not so attracted by Violet like his two assistances, there were some fluctuations in his always cold eyes.

But he soon realized his gaffe. Then he looked away, and said faintly, “Yes, it’s beautiful.”

“This kind of fabric is definitely the most suitable for evening dress.” Violet didn’t notice the strangeness of Stanley. She just put away the cloth.

After half an hour, all the cloths were finally in their place.

The buyer which Stanley mentioned also came and took these cloths away.

Violet returned to the large office after completing the task. The designers enthusiastically stepped forward and surrounded her.

“Violet, we all heard Jack and Mike say that you can tell the fabrics just by looking and touching. How did you do it?”

Jack and Mike were the two temporary assistants assigned by Stanley to Violet.

“Yeah, you are awesome! Tell us quickly.”

Facing with the completely different attitudes of these colleagues before and after, Violet was not surprised. She said slowly, “My teacher taught me. Before teaching me to design clothes, my teacher taught me to know all kinds of fabrics. He said that when you see a piece of fabric, you can recognize it and design a set of clothes in your mind, that’s the beginning of clothing design.”

Everyone was stunned, no wonder Violet graduated from Royal College of Design. Its teaching concept was different from the domestic one…

“What are you guys doing? Are you having a meeting?” Phoebe’s angry roar suddenly came.

The crowd did not dare to continue to surround Violet, and quickly dispersed and returned to their posts.

Soon, Violet was left alone.

Phoebe walked towards her with a sullen face, “Come with me.”

“I’m sorry, Director Hunt, I still have work next.” Violet smiled and patted the folder in her arms.

Now she just wanted to understand the project of ‘Born of Fire’ as soon as possible, and then draw the first draft earlier. She didn’t plan to have too much intersection with Phoebe.

Moreover, looking at Phoebe’s face, it was not a good thing.

Violet’s refusal made Phoebe a little embarrassed. Phoebe was so angry, “I have to see what kind of work it is!”

Then Phoebe snatched the file and opened it. When she saw the content inside, her face was instantly distorted, “Stanley actually gave you the project of ‘Born of Fire’?”

Phoebe was so envious that her eyes even turned red.

She knew about this project and wanted to get it, but Stanley had refused her and said that he had already hired a helper.

Unexpectedly, the helper was Violet!

No, she had to ask Stanley clearly why it was Violet but not her!

Phoebe clenched her fists, glared at Violet jealously, and then quickly walked towards Stanley’s office.

As soon as she walked to the door, she heard a voice coming from inside.

“Mr. Murphy, I have found the child we met last time.”
