Lucas, what are you saying? Gilda became the chief designer based on her real talent. The show’s over, and the excellent social response proves Gilda’s capability. Why are you talking nonsense here?” someone said.

Lucas didn’t agree.

He almost showed contempt on his face.

“Haha, is that all? This matter could be attributed to anyone! It’s not necessarily Gilda!” he said.

Lucas, that’s enough!” Wilson interrupted him, but Lucas remained unmoved. “Gilda, do you dare to say you didn’t use your status and background here?”

Facing the question, Gilda remained emotionless. She raised her gaze to Lucas, showing no impression or understanding of the hostility in his eyes.

However, she had to clarify one thing.

“This time, the chief designer was fair and impartial. There were no dirty tactics, as you suggest,” she said.

Lucas burst into laughter.

“Who would believe that? Do you believe it?” he said.

Wilson stepped forward, saying, “Lucas, the chief designer was fairly chosen between Gilda and Jane through a unanimous decision. Don’t cause trouble here!”

Lucas looked at Wilson in confusion.

He was still a bit confused. Why was this different from what Jane had told him?

“Lucas!” Draven called out sternly.

“I don’t care what’s happened today, but I have to tell you, Gilda’s design is clear to everyone. I’ve considered this for a while now, and since you’re all here today, I’ll speak frankly.”

Everyone fixed their gaze on him. Draven scanned the room before finally settling his eyes on Gilda.

“Gilda, even before the fashion show, I hinted at something with you, though not explicitly. The reason I’ve called you here today is for that matter. I’m reaching retirement, and I’ve been wanting to replace a dedicated student to pass on my design skills. Are you willing to be my disciple?” he said.

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Becoming Draven’s close student was a dream for many, and within this group, there were those eagerly anticipating this chance.

But now, Draven unexpectedly offered this opportunity directly to Gilda.

It was evident that he held Gilda in high regard.

Gilda was a bit bewildered. It took her a few seconds to gather her thoughts before she spoke. “Professor Olson, are you serious?”

Draven chuckled.

“Well, just let me know if you’re willing,” he said.

Gilda took a deep breath, and Wilson was quick to chime in, “Gilda, just agree! Professor Olson rarely extends such an invitation.”

“Exactly, Gilda! This opportunity is so rare; we’ve been wishing for it in vain,” said another student.

“Your skills are undeniable, and we all respect you. Please, agree to it!”

Lucas couldn’t bear the excessive praise for Gilda. With a disdainful snort, he turned and walked

away.

Faced with the expectant gazes of everyone, Gilda eventually nodded. “I agree! It’s an honor to be a student of you, Professor Olson.”

Gilda’s affirmative response was received.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Draven wore a satisfied expression.

“If that’s the case, why wait? Let’s hold the initiation ceremony today,” Wilson suggested.

Draven turned to Gilda. “Well, what do you think?”
