A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 416

The bidding session ended successfully. Hesper’s design and the magical touch on the dress really

impressed the company’s executives with the oriental elements that were included.

In the end, without a doubt, Hesper won first place in the bidding, and the order was given to Hesper.

Hesper had been working tirelessly for half a month, but finally, it was not in vain.

However, she did not feel exhilarated when she got the results but thankful.

‘Luckily, I didn’t lose control because of the sudden accident. This was what I learned and was trained

to do the most when I was working In Lane Holdings, so no matter how flustered I am, I’ll never lose my

cool.’

“I was so anxious for you just now, but thank God everything turned out fine.”

Pennleigh had always been an efficient man; he soon delivered the contract to Hesper’s office.” This

contract is pretty special. Personally, I really hope that you can secure this order and gain a foothold in

the studio.”

“What’s so special about it?” Hesper bowed her head. After all those years of working in Lane

Holdings, skimming through a contract was all in a day’s work for her.

After a while, she lifted her head. “The price is so high, and this contract includes a whole year’s worth

of orders. This is some big money.”

These days while Hesper had been in the company, she had already learned a lot about the current

industry prices and trends. Knowing that the price offered by this client was like giving money away, no

wonder Pennleigh said that this was an extraordinary contract.

Pennleigh explained, “And this client has worked with us many times before too. She’s of Halwanese

descent, and in my impression, she’s also a very easy-going and gentle lady.”

“Okay, I won’t worry about it.” Hesper had gone through the contract just now; it was very rigorously

written.

Probably because she had finished reviewing it and could not find any issues, she lowered her head

and left her signature. “Thank you very much for this order. If not for you, no company would ever

accept a student like me, who has not even graduated yet.”

Even though she still had some savings in her hand, what Hesper wanted to do was not easy, and she

had no source of income before, so her life would become more and more uneasy financially. Hence, it

was very fortunate that she had met Pennleigh.

“There’s no need to thank me. Your own catalog and ability have been your open sesame throughout

this whole journey. All I’ve done is open the door and let you in.” Pennleigh felt a little embarrassed,

and because of his fair skin complexion, it was easy for someone to notice the blush on his cheeks.

“Anyway, congratulations.”

Aside from feeling happy, Hesper did not forget to track down the person who ruined her design.

“Although there was no surveillance backstage, it’ll only be a matter of time before we find out who’s

responsible for the incident.” Hesper and Pennleigh had already asked the security team. before this,

but because the bidding sessions had always been kept as secrets among all designers of the

company, the surveillance cameras were turned off during that time.

Pennleigh assured her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you go through this grievance for no reason.”

Hesper nodded.

Usually, there’s surveillance in that hall. They’ll only be turned off for a short period of time during the

bidding session, which means that the person who splashed ink on my dress knew that the cameras

would be down at this time, so they couldn’t be an outsider.”

Thinking of the expression that she had seen on Evon’s face, coupled with his cold glares and the

things that he had done to paint a target on her back during her time in the company, Hesper came to

the conclusion that Evon was the one who did it. But because she had no evidence, there was no way

for her to expose him.

“I have faith that you’ll handle this matter properly.

Hesper knew that Pennleigh was not the kind of person who would sweep things under the carpet just

to smooth things over in the office. Although she did not know his family personally, and she had never

heard him mention his parents, she could tell that he had had an excellent upbringing since he was a

child. Everything was either black or white in his books, so she did not want to say much about the

matter.

“In order to celebrate my success in this bidding session, I plan to buy everyone dinner tonight.” Hesper

changed the subject. “Although I haven’t joined the studio for long, everyone has still been taking good

care of me… Will you come?”

Pennleigh smiled. “Of course.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Having worked with her colleagues in the design department for a month, Hesper had not had the time

to have a meal with them. She knew that she still needed to socialize with everyone else, although she

did not know how much longer she would work in Eustoma.

After telling everyone about the meal, Hesper deliberately looked at Evon, who was still staying in the

corner of the hall.
