Chapter 559
"Talent?" Tillie sneered. "Haven, although you majored in design, to be honest, you are not very talented. But it does not matter. Nothing can hinder you if you work hard. I appreciate your ambition." Hearing this, Haven felt a little relieved.
She smiled and said, "Ms. Elliott, I was too busy working in the Alwynn Group before, so my design was submitted late. As a result, I was eliminated. When I first saw your design, I felt it extremely courageous. I've always wanted to be your apprentice."
Haven said it straightforward. She knew the character of Tillie Elliott. If she beat around the bush with her, it would only make her feel disgusted.
Tillie looked as usual, and it seemed that she didn't care about these at all. She had come to meet Haven only because of the contest between her and Eden recently. Moreover, Haven had married into the Alwynn family, which she could also make use of.
She smiled strangely and asked, "Do you have a feud against Eden?"
Haven wore a restrained smile and pondered how she should answer her question. She still didn't know what Tillie was thinking.
After chatting with her briefly, Haven felt that Tillie's character was strikingly similar to Rebecca's.
She was very ambitious and possessive. What belonged to her could never be taken away by others.
Haven smiled gently and said in a deep voice, "Did you see the story between Eden and me online? We have known each other for a long time."
Tillie said, "I asked whether you have a feud with her."
Haven nodded. Now she had understood what Tillie wanted. She just wanted to find an ally to deal with Eden and Darlene.
"Eden snatched my beloved man." She looked at Tillie and pretended to be sad, showing a look that she would seek revenge for her grievance.
Tillie suddenly smiled and said, "Haven, from now on, you are my apprentice. You can join the L.P Company tomorrow. We're a multinational company, much better than the Alwynn Group. Your task is to defeat Eden. I don't care what means you use, but you must prevent her and Darlene's work from surpassing ours.
I have seen her designs before. She is a genius. Judging from her taste and design, she is cut up for the fashion industry. But if she hadn't followed Darlene, I wouldn't care about her.
Darlene has a good reputation in the designing industry, and her company values her very much. Over the years, there has been fierce competition between our company and hers, but every year, we were defeated by a neck in the turnover. This time, I must surpass them. In a few days, there will be an International Fashion Week. I need you to attend it with me, and you will learn a lot of things there. I think Darlene will take Eden with her, and things will be very interesting then."
Haven nodded excitedly and beamed, "Thank you. I will not let you down."
At this time, the waiter served them coffee and grilled crucian carp.
Haven was in a very good mood at the moment. She said, "The coffee here is very good."
Tillie said, "Well! Now that things are settled, I can enjoy my food now. Remember to start work in the L.P Company tomorrow morning, and your position will be my assistant. My previous assistant left the company, and you can replace him."
Haven nodded with a smile. "I will be there on time."
Haven felt excited. The assistant of the chief designer of the L.P Company was much superior to Eden's position.
She thought, "Eden, just wait and see! One day, I will trample you down." Losing Victor was the sharpest pain in Haven's life.
After saying goodbye to Tillie, Haven called Vincent excitedly.
"What's up?" On the other side of the phone, Victor answered casually.
Haven said excitedly, "Vincent, I'm going to work in L.P Company from tomorrow on."
"Are you kidding?" Vincent sneered, "with your ability, how can you enter the L.P Company?
Although it's just a branch here, I know how high their requirements are."
Haven had known that he would ridicule her like this. "Vincent, I am your wife, please show some respect. I am now the apprentice of Tillie Elliott, the chief designer of the L.P Company, and I will start working tomorrow."
Vincent was silent for a while, and then he asked, "Are you serious?"
Haven sneered, "Why do I need to lie to you? Isn't it embarrassing myself?"
Today was really her day. It seemed that even God was helping her.
She was clear that Tillie was making use of her. But she was also taking advantage of Tillie. It was backscratching, and she wouldn't lose anything.
Vincent said, "Well done! Congratulations, my wife! Where are you now? I'll pick you up."
Hearing Vincent's words, Haven suddenly realized how important a person's ability was.
Vincent had always regarded her as eye candy. But now, upon hearing her words, he took the initiative to pick her up.
Last night, she had seen a passage on the Internet saying, "You should work hard to make money, not because you love money itself but because you don't want to demean yourself for it." She totally agreed because she had grown up in such a circle.
Only with money and ability could one live with dignity.
Eden had no money, but she was capable. That was why she was so confident.
These years, Haven had been living a carefree life in the Clement family. She now felt it was a waste of time.
She refused, "No need. I'm already on my way back."
"Are you mad at me?" Vincent asked in a gentle tone. If he got in touch with Tillie, the Jotham Alwynn Group could develop abroad.
Haven said with a smile, "No, I am very happy today, and I'd like to go back by myself!"
For the first time, Haven had refused Vincent. At this moment, she realized what it felt like to be herself.
In order to win the favor of the Clement family, she had always been ingratiating herself with them.
She had never dared to be herself. But she now realized if she had the strength, she didn't need to be afraid of anyone.
In the meanwhile, Darlene, who was taking a walk by the river, suddenly received a call from Tillie.
She knew what had happened to Tillie in the past few days and guessed she must call her to show off.
She picked up the phone but didn't say anything.
Tillie said, "I know you are listening. I want to tell you a piece of good news. I have accepted Haven as my apprentice. She is the daughter of the Clement family. She and Eden are not on good terms. Darlene, our fight has never ended."
Darlene's face darkened slightly as she sneered,
"Congratulations, you've got a good apprentice."
