Wife Billionaire 7

Chapter 7
June’s pencil wasn’t just sketching; it was practically dancing across the paper. She had the proportions and color layout of the necklace already clear in her mind. The whole sketching session was smooth and swift; less than ten minutes later, she had the initial design looking sharp on paper.
June paused and massaged her stiff wrist. It had been a hot minute since she last did any serious sketching, but she was pleased with what she had produced.
Looking up at Anna, she said c**y, “I’m done.”
Anna had been watching intently, her mind a mix of admiration and shock. June’s design flair reminded her of some big-shot designer, but she couldn’t pin down who. Yet, despite recognizing June’s undeniable talent, Anna wasn’t about to hand over her respect that easily.
“Done? And what now? How are you gonna prove your design is better than mine, or that it’s what the client is actually after?” Anna challenged, her voice sharp.
June barely cracked a smile, having expected just such a reaction. She spread both their designs out on the desk and called out to the hallway, “Everyone, get in here.”
As the office filled with a dozen of the company’s top designers, June pointed at the sketches on the desk. “These are from two candidates who recently applied. Take a look and cast your votes on which one you think nails it.
“Sure thing, Ms. Keller,” they replied, crowding around to scrutinize the sketches. They thought this was June’s way of sizing up their design sense, so they looked over each drawing with intense focus.
Anna, meanwhile, held onto hope, thinking her design wasn’t far behind June’s. ‘It’s not over till it’s over, she thought to herself.
However, as every single designer gravitated towards June’s sketch to place their votes, Anna’s confidence quickly disintegrated. Her own design didn’t get even a pity vote.
With the landslide victory evident, June maintained a serene composure, as though she had anticipated this very scene all along.
June’s sketches drew waves of praise from the designers, swelling like a tide.
“This designer is a f**g force to reckon with her work is so spirited it grabs you instantly, like some kind of magic you can’t dodge.”

Chapter 7
“And s**t, doesn’t her-style remind you of Luv K, that legend who rocked the design world three years ago?”
“That’s spot on! Luv K was all about bold but balanced colors, setting a standard everyone scrambled to mimic.”
As the designers gushed, Anna’s thoughts drifted to the famed Luv K. Yet now, it wasn’t Luv K who was the center of attention but June standing right in front of her. Reality struck Anna hard; she had been decisively beaten by June with a zero to ten.
“Who the f**k is this June Keller?’ she muttered to herself.
Seeing Anna’s darkening mood, June smirked. “Looks like my designs are winning everyone. over. Are you cool with that, or is it too hard to swallow?”
Anna’s face turned sour, her lips pressed tightly together in silence.
Then, a designer piped up, “Anna, didn’t your design get bounced back a bunch of times before? Guess it’s the same old story this time, huh?”
June’s eyebrows flicked up, amusement clear in her tone. “Oh? get bounced back multiple
times?”
Anna’s face stiffened, a sting of hurt in her eyes, but she shot back icily, “So what if it was rejected? What designer nails it every **n time? You just struck lucky today, June. Don’t think for a second that you’re always gonna be the best!” With that, she sn**ed her design papers from the desk and stormed out of the office, fuming.
The designers who had come to vote finally realized the designs were June’s and Anna’s, not those of applicants. They took another look at June’s work, their curiosity piqued.
One designer asked curiously, “Ms. Keller, your style is strikingly similar to Luv K’s. Did you know her personally, or are you inspired by her work?”
