IN THE LAP OF LUXURY BY UNSWEETENED CHESTNUTS - Season 2 Episode 76

“Professor Morris is here!” someone exclaimed, prompting May to redirect her gaze toward Alan.

“Professor!” May displayed a respectful attitude.

Alan nodded slightly and bypassed her to approach Grace. “Ms. Lewis!” he called.

Grace was pleasantly surprised and quickly greeted him. “Professor Morris!”

Alan smiled. “This is a private gathering, so there’s no need to be formal.”

Everyone present could see the special treatment Alan was giving Grace.

May, who was standing behind, hurried over. “Professor, so this is the Ms. Lewis you mentioned,” she

commented.

As she spoke, May extended her hand toward Grace for a handshake. “Hello, I’m May, Professor

Morris‘ student!”

Alan added, “May is my most accomplished student. She has a great talent for design. I hope you two

will have the chance to learn from each other.”

Grace reached out to accept May’s handshake and said, “Hello, I’m Grace. Nice to meet you.”

They exchanged greetings.

“Today, I invited everyone here for an important matter regarding Pamore!” Alan called everyone

together and began speaking.

Just as he finished speaking, someone interjected. “Is it about the fashion show in Pamore next

month?”

Alan nodded. “Everyone present here is a renowned fashion designer in Pamore. I believe each one of

you can contribute to this fashion show.”

Upon hearing this, people became excited and began whispering to each other.

“This is the first fashion show, in Pamore, and it has garnered significant attention. If we can showcase

great designs, we will surely make a name for ourselves,” he added.

“Previous fashion shows were always held abroad, but this year, it’s being held in Pamore for the first

time. It’s quite an honor for us and also a great opportunity for everyone!”

He continued, “We can try incorporating some local elements into the designs, showcasing

our culture to the world.

“Let foreigners take a good look and see that our sense of fashion is definitely not inferior to

Emily listened to everyone’s discussions and became interested, “Babe, it sounds really exciting! Are

you not interested?”

Grace raised an eyebrow and responded, “We shall see!”

However, the workload was likely to be heavy for large–scale fashion shows like this.

Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, Alan commented, “For this fashion show, I certainly hope that everyone

is able to participate.

“However, the lead designer for this event hasn’t been finalized yet. Any thoughts from all of you?”

As soon as he said that, May, who was standing by, had a glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

She had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

When everyone heard the question, they exchanged hesitant glances, but none of them mustered the

courage to speak up.

After all, taking on the role of the lead designer wasn’t something that ordinary individuals

could handle.

It demanded a high level of expertise and skill.

“Professor…” May was the first to speak up.

“I think I can give it a try!”

Upon hearing this, Alan hummed softly but didn’t immediately agree.

May pressed her lips together, feeling a tinge of disappointment.

She had been studying design with Alan for five years!

She had done a lot of design work, including some truly remarkable ones. She believed that she could

take on the role of lead designer without any problems.

But it seemned that Alan refused to give her a chance.

“Ms. Lewis, what do you think?” Alan threw the question at Grace, and everyone’s eyes immediately

turned to her.

There was confusion, surprise, and a hint of envy among the crowd.
