Anna placed a few oranges on my desk. I barely looked up, offering her a polite smile. “Ms. Anna, you really don’t have to do
this. You always bring something when you visit. At this rate, our designers are going to get spoiled.”
“It’s nothing.” Anna settled into the chair beside me, her smile as warm as ever. “I don’t have much to do here anyway. Besides,
my family is planning to start a design company, so I figured I’d come and learn a thing or two.”
I simply smiled, maintaining my usual courtesy. Every time Anna came by, I made sure to stay on guard.
Rosaline had warned me about it, and she was never wrong.
“Learn a thing or two? Aside from Loe, who’s our main designer, the rest of us are more or less on the same level.” I casually
brought up Loe’s name.
“Oh, right Anna nodded as if she just remembered something. “I heard before that Loe is the most well- known designer in your
studio–and also the owner. I actually wanted to meet him in person, but strangely, he’s never around when I visit.”
“Loe’s really busy. He barely comes back to the studio,” I said casually.
Anna frowned slightly, then asked in a casual yet seemingly curious manner, “Hmm? But I heard there’s a fashion design
competition coming up. My friend told me that Loe is practically a legend in the industry and wins the competition almost every
year. So what about this year? Is he competing?”
I had been only half–listening while working, but the moment she brought up Loe and the competition, something about her tone
put me on alert. It was difficult not to feel like she was fishing for information.
My pen paused slightly before I lowered my gaze, acting as if nothing had happened. “I have no idea. Loe rarely comes to the
studio, and he doesn’t tell us these things.”
“Oh... “Anna nodded thoughtfully and didn’t press further. She only glanced at me from time to time without saying anything.
I took a mental note of her behavior before peeling an orange she had brought and eating a few slices. Suddenly, as if
impulsively, I said, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”

With that, I got up and quickly walked to the restroom, stepping into a stall and locking the door. Taking out my phone, I sent
Rosaline a message.
“Rosaline, that Ms. Anna you mentioned asked me about Loe today. She wanted to know if he was going to compete in the
fashion design competition this year. She even said she wanted to see your work. What should we do next?”
Rosaline replied almost instantly.
“Whatever she wants to know, just tell her something vague. Make up a gown design if you have to. She’s gone through all this
trouble just to find out what I’ll be showcasing at the competition. Camilla, I know you’re the best at handling this. I’ll leave it to
you.”
I looked at the text on the screen and smiled confidently.
If that was the

When I returned to the office, Anna was still there, just as I had expected. The moment she saw me, she flashed me a bright
smile..
“Sorry about that.” My tone was casual. “I got a call from Loe while I was in the restroom. He reminded me to bring the design
sketches to the competition, so I go held up a little.”
Anna perked up immediately, her eyes lighting up. “Wait, are you saying Loc is going to compete in the design competition?”
I’m the one who presents the designs and dresses in

But let me tell you, the gown he designed this time is
I nodded seriously. “Technically speaking competitions on his behalf. Loe’s always bus
absolutely stunning. I just saw the sketches he sent over and they’re breathtaking!”
I raised a thumbs–up as I spoke. Then, I glanced at Ann, pressing my lips together before sighing. “Oh well, since you’re such a
big fan of Loe, I there’s no harm in telling you.”

Anna nodded eagerly. “I promise I won’t tell a soul!”
Lowering my voice, I leaned in slightly and told her, “The design I saw was a deep red evening gown with structured shoulders,
pearls, and lace–like embellishments–a vintage European style from the medieval era. It’s truly exquisite, exactly like what you
described. Hey, why not design your gown to match this style?
“Yes! That would be amazing!” Anna nodded enthusiastically, nearly bouncing in her seat.
