Chapter 182:
“This fashion week, I’m spearheading the design for SparkWave’s finale collection. I’ll be selecting a handful of you to help craft a series p>
She continued confidently and inclusively, “But first, I must assess your design skills and styles. Rest assured, everyone involved will be credited p>
Her announcement was met with a burst of eager responses from the designers. Without hesitation, they presented their past design sketches to Jenessa.
Working alongside Sloane for the upcoming fashion week was an incredible opportunity to elevate their careers.
Jenessa sorted through the sketches, counting them. She quickly realized the numbers were off—there weren’t as many sketches as there were designers.
She glanced around the room and asked, “Has anyone not submitted their sketch p>
Mina was sitting with her arms crossed, embodying arrogance.
“I didn’t submit anything p>
When Jenessa met Mina’s scornful eyes, she asked calmly, “Why not p>
An uneasy silence enveloped the room as the other designers waited for what was coming next.
“Why?” Mina retorted with a sneer, her chin elevated.
“My name is Mina Keller. I joined SparkWave at its founding and have been pivotal to its growth. I am now the chief designer here p>
She paused, giving Jenessa a look of disdain before challenging her further, “So, tell me, why should I be judged by you p>

Mina rose to her feet, her voice commanding the attention of everyone present.
“All the designers here are exceptionally talented. Why should an outsider like you assume control? As the chief designer, I vehemently oppose this executive decision p>
The air in the conference room chilled immediately.
The designers were taken aback by Mina’s vehement declaration, though they weren’t entirely caught off guard. Clearly, Mina felt a profound animosity towards Sloane.
Nonetheless, Jenessa’s demeanor remained unflappable.
She understood that her sudden takeover could understandably upset Mina, who had previously led the team. However, she felt compelled to make an important clarification.
“Mina, design isn’t dictated by a designer’s age but by their capability. Doesn’t my established reputation speak to my proficiency?” Jenessa responded, her voice cool and steady.
Mina momentarily lost her composure.
The quality of Sloane’s earlier designs was indisputable and recognized by all.
Yet, Mina was determined not to be outshone by Sloane, fearing it might jeopardize her future with the company.
After a tense pause, Mina countered fiercely, “What does it matter if you’re Sloane? Your prior successes are undeniable, but you’ve been out of the picture for years. With your return, are you truly prepared to adapt to the dynamic shifts in fashion trends p>
Taking a deep breath, Mina continued with mounting confidence, “We have all worked tirelessly for this fashion week, staying up late to refine our designs. Now, you come in and pick on our works as though it’s negligible. It’s harsh and dismissive of the dedication we’ve shown to our craft p>
Her words resonated deeply with many of the designers.
“Sure, Sloane is well-known, but that doesn’t mean she should just come in and start picking on our designs immediately p>
