Chapter 253
253:
As they approached the glass cabinet, Linsey unlocked it and carefully extracted the mannequin inside.
“Be cautious,” Kylee advised softly from behind.
Unseen by Linsey, Kylee’s expression turned cunning.
Linsey gently lifted the cloth covering the dress, unveiling the completed gown to Kylee.
Kylee exclaimed with delight, her expression brightening, “Oh my! It’s stunning!” Just then, Coen entered and caught sight of the dress Linsey had crafted. He nodded in approval. “Impressive. Linsey has consistently wowed Anthea, proving her exceptional talent as a designer.”
Kylee turned to Linsey with a gratified smile. “I’m so glad I chose you back then.”
Linsey flushed slightly. “Kylee, would you like to try it on now?”
“Absolutely, please assist me,” Kylee agreed.
Together, they removed the dress from the mannequin and proceeded to the adjacent changing room.
Once Kylee slipped into the dress, she admired herself in the mirror.
Linsey made fine adjustments from behind.
“How does it feel? Are you pleased?” Linsey queried. “If there’s anything amiss, I can fix it right now.”
Kylee touched her waist. “The waist feels a bit snug. Could you loosen it slightly? I’ve indulged a bit too much since my return.”
Linsey nodded in response. “Of course, I’ll ease it out just a touch.”
Kylee suggested a few additional minor tweaks.

“When the red carpet day arrives, I’ll wear this dress and snap a few photos for an online promotion.” Kylee beamed. “Let’s connect on Twitter then.”
“Okay.” Linsey nodded in agreement.
After Kylee departed, Coen showered Linsey with praise.
“Linsey, at first I pegged you as just another novice, but you’ve consistently impressed me. Keep pushing yourself. It’s only a matter of time before you’re leading our design team, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire fashion world soon recognizes your talent!”
Coen was all smiles. “And when that day comes, I’ll be reaping some rewards too—think promotions and pay raises.”
Linsey responded with a modest smile. “I owe it all to your mentorship, Coen. You made it possible for me to finish this gown so seamlessly. Thank you for everything you’ve taught me.”
Her gratitude made Coen’s smile broaden. He took the opportunity to laud her in front of their peers, urging them to take a leaf out of her book.
While most colleagues headed to the cafeteria for lunch, Linsey stayed behind in the studio, perfecting the gown.
“Wow, Linsey’s commitment is something else. It’s no wonder she’s held in such high esteem.”
“I’ll admit, I was a bit envious of her apparent good fortune at first, but now, seeing the effort she puts in, it feels justified. She truly earns her accolades.”
“Indeed, I heard she’s been the first in and last out every day for a fortnight, working tirelessly.”
“Linsey’s really carving out her niche. With Kylee’s upcoming red carpet appearance, she’s bound to see an influx of orders.”
Curiosity filled the air as one colleague pondered aloud, “What does the gown Linsey crafted for Kylee look like? We’ve yet to see it. Kylee was here for a fitting early today, and from her and Coen’s reactions, it must be quite the masterpiece.”
