Chapter 177 Aggression

Grace looked puzzled. As everyone’s eyes turned to her, her heart beat faster.

Grace said, “I don’t know much about this fashion show. I’m sure my seniors know more than

I do.”

There was a sense of modesty in her words.

Alan was very satisfied with Grace’s attitude, which was humble and not overbearing at all.

“Ms. Lewis, would you like to try to take on the role of lead designer for this show?” he asked.

As soon as these words left his mouth, the crowd was stunned.

It seemed that Alan had a lot of confidence in Grace. Was he directly appointing her right now?

However, Grace didn’t seem to have had any impressive work to showcase. This wouldn’t be well–received by the industry.

Surprised by this news, Grace was about to speak. But the surrounding individuals couldn’t help but voice their opinions first.

“Professor Morris, Ms. Lewis has limited experience. It might have been too bold for her to

accept such a huge responsibility.”

“Yes! I believe in your student, May. She’s more suitable to be the lead designer this time. After all, May has managed all types of projects, almost all of which were flawlessly executed.”

“May’s design style is also very unique, and among our community, her abilities are definitely top–notch.”

Compared to Grace, everyone had more confidence in May.

This was all part of the unspoken agreement among everyone present.

After all, their knowledge of Grace was mostly based on online gossip and nothing more. They also couldn’t believe that a young, unheard–of designer like Grace could produce remarkable

work.

If the fashion show were to fail, it would bring disgrace to everyone involved.

“Professor Morris, please reconsider your decision!”

Upon hearing everyone’s words, May felt a significant weight lift off her heart.

Despite this, she remained composed, carefully observing Alan’s expression.

In the end, she decided to speak up for herself.

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 l*ps 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.
