With her curly hair and a warm smile, Mrs.


    Burke exuded an inviting presence.


    Ste’s initial impression of Mrs.


    Burke was that of a remarkably gentle and warmly engaging woman.


    “Please, call me Ste,” Ste replied.


    Mrs.


    Burke nodded slightly, not borating further.


    Matthew shifted his gaze back to Ste and continued, “It’s an umon asion for Mrs.


    Burke to visit Prosperity Group personally.


    As the designer of this dress, you should seize the opportunity to discuss details with her face-to-face.


    ”


    Mrs.


    Burke gave Ste a congenial smile.


    “I’ve seen some of Ste’s designs.


    Her work has a distinct style, and that’s why I’m open to giving her a chance.


    However…”


    She paused, then resumed, “There is another designer who willpete with you for this project.


    Do you have any objections?”


    Surprised, Ste asked, “May I know who thepeting designer is?”


    Mrs.


    Burke answered, “ter Aston.


    ”


    Upon hearing ter’s name, a wave of anxiety washed over Ste.


    In the design world, ter was already a luminary.


    His portfolio was both extensive and sophisticated, making Ste’s own collection seem meager inparison.


    When she had been apetitor in the ssicLuxe designpetition, ter had already served as a judge.

    For Ste, the oue was almost a foregone conclusion.


    Going head -to-head with ter meant certain defeat.


    Nevertheless, she was reluctant to let slip the rare chance to design a dress for Mrs.


    Burke.


    Ste hesitated, struggling to find her words.


    Noticing Ste’s reservation, Mrs.


    Burke sought to reassure her.


    “I invited you to design a dress for me because I genuinely admire your work.


    The title of the designer won’t give anyone an edge.


    I judge the garment, not the name behind it.


    So don’t worry.


    ”

    Burke’s smile had a calming effect.


    Reassured by her words, Ste felt a sense of relief.


    Furthermore, losing to ter would not bring shame; it would instead serve as invaluable experience for her future in design.


    Ste looked up and said earnestly, “I understand.


    Thank you, Mrs.


    Burke.


    I’ll do my utmost to design a dress that meets your expectations.


    ”


    “I have faith in you.


    Go for it!” Mrs.


    Burke beamed.
