My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 415

Chapter 415

History had shown that it was almost impossible for non-European brands to win an award.

Nevertheless, she recently got to know a member of the judging committee from Fashion Week. Hence, she wanted to put out an impressive performance.

However, she did not expect X to not cooperate with her on work. Furthermore, X had made it harder for her to assert her authority by challenging it.

X had always stayed mysterious and hid from the public eye. She never appeared in the company before, and only a few members of the company’s top management had seen her actual face.

Even as the director of design, Megan had never even seen X before. It also didn’t help that X had never shown her any respect.

Hence, Megan strongly resented X and was hostile towards her. Even at this critical juncture of the Fashion Week preparations, X was still fooling around by being mysterious.

As Megan suppressed the anger within her, she glared at the entrance to the presidential suite.

Inside the suite, all the other designers were waiting with bated breath. Since Megan was still not married despite being in her thirties, they called her the ‘Virgin Witch’ behind her back.

Is she about to lose her temper at the Boss given how much she hates her?

Megan never had the opportunity to vent as X was never in the office.

The only time X appeared was to hand in her designs, and she would quickly disappear after that.

After about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door.

One of the assistants opened it and saw a tall and slender young lady. She was wearing a white full- length dress and a mask that covered half her face. It made her look both elegant and mysterious at the same time.

The moment Ashlyn stepped into the suite, she could feel the tense atmosphere.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, she placed the coffee she was carrying on the table. “I’m sorry for being late.”

Then, she motioned for the assistant to distribute coffee to everyone while adding, “I bought this along the way, so please try it.”

“Thanks, Boss.”

“Wow, it’s from my favorite cafe!”

“Boss, you’re the best.”

Squinting her eyes, Megan shot a glance at Ashlyn and sneered, “X, you’re late by twenty minutes and made everyone wait. Also, as the chief designer, why can’t you show your true identity? What you’re doing damages the brand’s reputation.”

Her tone was filled with hostility.

One of Ashlyn’s hands that was holding the coffee halted, and she looked at Megan with a smile, “Ms. Hobbs, since when am I representative of LX’s reputation? Isn’t it more important for our designs and styles to speak for themselves?”

“You!” Megan was surprised to see how defiant Ashlyn was. Taking a deep breath, she broke into a sneer instead. “I didn’t expect you to have such a sharp tongue.”

Taking a sip of coffee, Ashlyn grinned slightly. “I, too, didn’t expect Ms. Hobbs to conduct a personal attack.”

When her authority as the director of design was challenged by X, an overwhelming sense of hatred grew within her.

With her gaze filled with animosity, a devious idea suddenly struck her. “X, why don’t we make a bet?”

Ashlyn’s eyes were equally cold. Even though she was wearing flats, she was still taller than Megan, who was in her heels. As she looked down on Megan, she emanated an indifferent yet dignified vibe.

She was born pretty, so she still looked attractive despite the mask covering half her face. It wasn’t hard to guess that there was a gorgeous beauty underneath it.

After a while, she continued drinking her coffee and replied, “Ms. Hobbs, go on.”

Her blatant disregard for Megan simply infuriated Megan further.

Suppressing the fury within her, she looked up and stared Ashlyn in the eyes. With a solemn expression, she declared, “This time, the LX company has entered two brands into Fashion Week. LX is yours while LS is mine. If I win an award, you will leave the company. If you win, I’ll quit. How about that?”

Megan’s words shocked everyone.
