The Ex-Husband's Apology (by Sebastian Grey) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143

Around the original heart–shaped main stone, Catalina drew three circles of small diamonds, she thought it not only fit the theme of “the sea“, but also showed that her design was a remake and upgrade of the past “Hope Diamond“.

The sketch was just finished when her phone rang.

When Catalina saw that Curtis sent her a picture, her eyes lit up instantly.

She excitedly opened the picture, and the smile on her lips gradually froze.

The Starlight Jewelry Design Competition only gave each contestant a short week to prepare for the preliminary round.

One week later, submit your design drafts and photos of finished products on the official website of the competition. Two weeks later, the official website will announce the list of designers who have advanced to the next round and the scores of their works.

Jennifer was confident about entering the semi–finals.

Two weeks later, she saw her name on the official website list just as she had expected.

Of course, she also saw Catalina’s.

Jennifer still doesn’t think her design skills are lower than Catalina’s.

However, Catalina completely dominated in the previous two face–to- face encounters, which made Jennifer not dare to underestimate

Catalina’s strength.

In this preliminary round, a total of twenty designers made it through, but only Jennifer and Catalina did not use sapphires to showcase the theme of “sea“.

They used pearls.

When Jennifer saw the design works of Catalina displayed on the official website, she was amazed.

“Can you believe Catalina and I were on the same wavelength?”

Jennifer frowned.

She chose top–grade Australian white pearls as the main stone, and used sapphires and diamonds as side stones to make a wave brooch.

And Catalina chose Australian white pearls too, but she designed a pendant instead of a brooch.

Jennifer carefully compared and found that Catalina’s pearl pendant also featured Australian white pearls as the main stone, with sapphires and diamonds as accent stones., At first glance, the design looked like an olive branch, but in fact, it was crafted with great ingenuity and could also be understood as ocean waves.

Her idea for the brooch was exactly the same as mine.

However, her brooch scored lower than Catalina’s pendant.

Coincidence?

Jennifer drew a question mark in her mind.

What if it’s not just a coincidence?

Jennifer still remembers when she was working as Brayan’s secretary at the LeBlanc Group, also doubling as a designer for VelvetRose.

And her design… was once copied by Catalina.

Jennifer wasn’t really into design.

Because design was never her thing

But now that she had decided to eat this bowl of rice, she had to pay

attention.

In the office. Curtis brought a steaming cup of coffee to Jennifer’s hand.

His job here is quite busy, and he often serves Jennifer tea and water. So ev

though he has been more attentive recently, he is not

suspected.

Curtis thought Jennifer didn’t deserve to be a designer.

Jennifer always left her own designed drawings scattered around the office, not to mention sneaky bank employees who came in to persuade them to open a credit card account could see them.

If someone like Jennifer, who doesn’t respect design, can be a designer, then Curtis thinks he can too.

Catalina promised him that as long as he did a good job undercover at Jennifer’s place, she would promote him to lead designer and provide him with resources.

In other words, the day Jennifer lost the rematch was the day he made a name for himself.

“Jennifer, I haven’t seen you preparing for the semi–finals recently, the deadline is coming up soon!”

For several days. Curtis noticed that Jennifer either wasn’t looking at the files or was on her way to look at the files, without even moving her pen. Unable to resist, he asked. “What’s up?”

“Don’t worry, I have submitted all the finished products.”
