Chapter 165 She Didn’t Design This

“Ms. Hawkins, there must be a unique design story behind such a remarkable design. Can you share it

with us?” someone asked eagerly.

Celia smiled gracefully and said confidently, “Actually, this artwork was inspired by a show I attended in

France.

“It conveyed the independence and intellectual beauty of women. That’s why I chose bold color

combinations to highlight the essence of femininity.

“The details in the cuffs and collars are also meticulously designed. You can see the thought put into

the overall concept …”

Once Celia finished explaining, those around her couldn’t help but offer their appreciation for her work.

“Wow, Ms. Hawkins, you really have a unique understanding of design. It’s no wonder you’ve produced

such an excellent piece.

“I’m interested to know if you’re currently considering a partnership with a design studio. A designer as

exceptional as you would be a valuable addition to our studio.

“Our company specializes in fashion too. A talented designer like you should consider our company

once you graduate.”

With that, the person handed Celia a business card.

Celia accepted it with a smile and politely replied, “Thank you!”

She enjoyed the feeling of being admired by everyone and couldn’t help but feel elated.

With a hint of arrogance, she looked around. But her eyes eventually met Grace’s, which held a touch

of mockery.

Celia’s heart skipped a beat. Feeling uneasy, she quickly averted her gaze.

“What’s wrong? You seem a bit off. Is everything okay?” Xander asked with concern as he

noticed something was amiss with Grace.

“It’s nothing. I’m just surprised by how brazen people can be, even when they’re stealing.” Grace’s

comment left him puzzled. Xander didn’t understand what she meant.

Grace examined Celia’s design from a fair perspective and commented, “This artwork is really good,

and it’s no wonder it’s getting so much praise. It seems this Ms. Hawkins is more talented than the

rumors suggest.”

Grace cleared her throat and dropped a bombshell. “But she didn’t design this.”

The crowd reacted with surprise. Shortly after, Alan appeared, surrounded by people. A familiar face

was walking alongside him.

Dressed in a classy suit, Frederick looked unusually formal, a rare sight that caught everyone’s

attention.

“Professor Morris, you’re here!”

“Professor Morris, the designs on display today are absolutely dazzling. Your students are truly

talented.”

“Especially this one–it’s arguably the best design here today.”

Alan made his way through the crowd and reached the artwork designed by Celia.

Celia saw Alan and felt a rush of excitement. She seemed a bit nervous and overwhelmed as she

called, “Professor Morris!”

Alan nodded slightly and asked, “Is this your design?”

“Yes, Professor Morris,” Celia confirmed.

Alan’s gaze lingered on the design as he carefully assessed it.

“Impressive. To have such a skill at such a young age, you must have put in a lot of effort,” he

remarked.

Celia was filled with excitement and gratitude. “Thank you for your compliment, Professor.”

“What’s your name?” Alan asked.

Frederick, who was standing nearby, quickly introduced her. “Her name is Celia. She’s

Benjamin Hawkins‘ sister.”

Alan nodded in approval. He then said with admiration, “You’re a promising talent. Keep it up.

“I

Celia responded with determination, “Yes, I will continue to work hard.”

“Professor Morris, I’m her mother!” Susan chimed in.

“It’s truly an honor for my daughter to receive your recognition. I hope that in the future, she will have

the opportunity to study under your guidance.”
