Hence, she agreed to launch the products and signed the papers.
She never thought that her clothes would sell, but they did.
The only thing was that the clothes were as weird and crazy as she had imagined them.
Penelope was an average-looking girl with delicate features. However, it wasn’t enough to turn heads.
As such, she had to resort to weird and crazy outfits to stand out among a group of pretty girls.
But since she couldn’t carry the style, all the outfit did was made her look like a circus clown.
I wonder how she got her hands on these clothes in the first place? From what I know, everything from this brand needs advanced booking. Not only that, they’re famous for being expensive.
One would have to book at least one to two months in advance and pay a ton of money just to get their hands on these clothing items.
Not many could afford this brand in Lake City.
Penelope had begged Ryan to get the dress for her as she wanted to outshine the other candidates in the piano competition that day.
She wanted to attract everyone’s attention even though she didn’t participate in the competition.
“Penelope, these clothes look like they’re from Brand X. It must have cost you a lot, right?”
Hera felt a little envious of Penelope. After all, she couldn’t get her hands on any branded clothing items after being blacklisted from the fashion industry. She, too, wanted Brand X’s clothes but had no means of getting them.
She could only afford clothes that had gone out of fashion even if she shopped overseas. The Chapmans couldn’t afford to buy her the latest season clothes these days.
Moreover, Bob had reduced her allowance since he was unhappy with her.
Penelope blushed at Hera’s words. “Hera, do you think this looks good on me? My uncle says it fits me well, but I’m not confident enough to say so.”
“This dress looks really good on you, Penelope.” Hera lied through her teeth. “You’ll surely be the center of attention with this dress.”
Jenny scoffed inwardly. However, she played along and said, “Yeah, it’s indeed quite nice. After all, it’s an exceptional brand. Their designers are recognized for their iconic sense of style and are well respected in the industry. I even heard that their design director, X, is extremely strict. Also, I heard that they’re very mysterious. No one has actually seen them before.”
“X?” Ms. X from LX Corporation was the only X Penelope knew. Moreover, she firmly believed that Ashlyn was the mysterious X during London Fashion Week.
So, X has appeared again. I wonder if Ashlyn is the same director X from X Corporation? But how is that possible? She’s just a designer from H Nation. How is it possible that she has become the design director of X Corporation in Maredania?
After all, one would have to stand out to become a design director.
Hmm… they probably just have the same stage name.
Penelope pondered to herself.
“That’s right. I heard that it’s not easy to get X to design something new. They only come out with three designs every year and those designs would usually be gifted to the president’s wife or royalty. Moreover, they specializes in designing jewelry. They would come up with a new series every year.”
Jenny gave Penelope a disdainful look. How could she be wearing Brand X’s dress when she hasn’t even heard of Director X? I guess she’s still a country bumpkin even though she has returned to the Yates family.
“Yeah. I heard that they designed new pieces of jewelry this year. It’s very pretty and elegant from the pictures on the internet.”
Hera was filled with jealousy as she asked on purpose, “Penelope, did your uncle refer you to X since he managed to get you this dress?”
Penelope froze. She was riddled with guilt as she replied, “My uncle is a viscount. It would be a piece of cake to for him to meet someone like X.”
Her voice faltered toward the end. In truth, Ryan only managed to get his hands on this dress through his connections. Moreover, she had never heard of the infamous design director X in the fashion industry before this.
