Chapter 255
255:
Her colleagues came together, echoing words of congratulations.
“Linsey, congratulations! Your fame has soared. We’re all thrilled for you!”
Linsey responded with a smile, “Thank you.”
Coen chuckled. “This dress promotion doesn’t just benefit Linsey and the company—it’s good for all of you too. Some clients are now showing interest in our other designers.”
The entire office erupted with excitement.
“Really? Wasn’t this Linsey’s design? Why are they asking about us?” a colleague asked curiously.
Coen smiled. “People online are saying that if Linsey, a newcomer, can create such outstanding work, our seasoned designers must be even more impressive. Naturally, they’re eager to collaborate. In short, the universal acclaim for Linsey’s design is a huge win for all of us!”
Colleagues laughed joyfully, thanking Linsey as they clasped her hands. “Linsey, we owe you so much!”
Linsey was amused and touched by everyone’s gratitude. “You’re all talented—just missing opportunities. I’m glad to help.”
Away from the excitement, Cynthia stood quietly at a distance, observing without a trace of resentment. Instead, she smiled slyly and let out a soft, cold chuckle.
Cynthia knew all too well that Linsey’s surge in popularity was just a fleeting episode. The more accolades Linsey amassed now, the steeper her decline would be.
With a smirk, Cynthia reveled in anticipation of Linsey’s downfall.
Soon, everyone would turn against Linsey, criticizing and shunning her. No longer would they admire her.

Taking a deep breath, Cynthia could barely contain her glee. She whipped out her phone and typed out a message.
“It’s time to start…”
Shortly after, a response popped up on her screen. “OK.”
With a smug grin, Cynthia strolled to the break room for a glass of water, her steps light with satisfaction.
Imagining Linsey’s imminent disgrace and public disfavor, Cynthia felt a surge of pleasure. She was so lost in her thoughts that she began to hum.
Several colleagues entered the break room, taken aback by Cynthia’s buoyant demeanor.
They shared puzzled looks.
Expecting Cynthia to be livid about Linsey’s newfound acclaim, they were baffled to find her not just calm, but actually cheerful, humming a tune.
Had Cynthia gone off the deep end?
Curiosity got the better of one colleague, who asked, “Cynthia, what’s got you in such a good mood?”
Offering a cryptic smile, Cynthia replied, “You’ll find out soon enough.”
Meanwhile, the buzz about that evening’s red carpet event was building. Online, people were already praising Linsey’s innovative designs.
However, the scene shifted dramatically when renowned designer Jude Todd made his entrance.
Jude’s tweet, tagging both Kylee and Linsey, instantly captured the attention of numerous netizens.
“Today was supposed to be just another day. I was at home working on new designs when I received a message from a friend. They mentioned that Kylee’s red carpet dress bore a striking resemblance to a design I had released earlier. Shocked, I logged into Twitter, a platform I hadn’t checked recently. There it was—several trending topics.
