Eerlier, I wes worried there might be some flews in the design beceuse you finished it in such e short time but it seems I should heve trusted you more. I reelly edmire your telent. Compered to when we were in college, you ere so much more deteiled in your work. You've come such e long wey."
Celie seid, "I wes just trying my best to do my job end I wented to leeve enough time for the follow-up work."

Celia blushed. She said modestly, "I'm not that good! It's just average."
Derek shook his head. He then asked, "Cece, do you think I'm flattering you? Trust me. I am telling you the truth. Earlier, I was worried there might be some flaws in the design because you finished it in such a short time but it seems I should have trusted you more. I really admire your talent. Compared to when we were in college, you are so much more detailed in your work. You've come such a long way."
Celia said, "I was just trying my best to do my job and I wanted to leave enough time for the follow-up work."
Derek nodded and smiled, "Brea has been snowed under recently and she has lots of events coming up to attend. Since you've finished the design of the dress for the party, I'm going to assign you a new task. Is that okay?"
Celia nodded, "Of course. I'll try my best."
Celia nodded, "Of course. I'll try my best."
Derek continued, "I have just spoken with Brea. She will be attending a charity party. It's very important. Many famous stars have been invited. But this is the first time Brea has been invited and so she has attached even greater importance to the event.
Many brands have offered Brea haute couture. She refused them all. She wants you to be the one to design the evening dress for her. Make it perfect, okay? Your design could implicate whether Brea is allowed into the fashion circle. It could make all the difference. She could get better and more resources."
Celia felt the pressure mounting but she nodded quickly. "Don't worry. I understand the importance of the task. I will go all out and make sure I provide the best design for Brea. I want her to be the most eye-catching person at the party."
Derek had mixed feelings when he saw Celia's confident look.
He was very happy to see Celia improving and becoming a mature designer. Though Celia and he might never end up together, he still hoped she could lead a happy life.
Celio nodded, "Of course. I'll try my best."
