Chapter 118: Her Lies

“Stephie, I was just about to ask you, this dress is from Sparkling Gems, isn’t it?” A female classmate, brimming with admiration, asked Stephanie.

Stephanie lowered her eyelids shyly, as if embarrassed, and softly asked, “Um, would it be weird if I dressed like this?”

“How could it be strange? You look absolutely stunning in this skirt. I think you’re the only one in the whole Melcester Central High School who can pull off Sparkling Gems’ stuff.”

This person was clearly a fan of Sparkling Gems, knowing the brand intimately.

“The design sense of their home items was very strong, especially the works of their main designer, S. Ordinary people simply couldn’t handle it.”

“I absolutely adored S’s designs. I was planning to study design in college, hoping that one day I could see him in person. Up until now, no one knew whether S was male or female, fat or thin. I believed ‘he’ was a man, because it was evident in his designs. His designs were simple and bold, never superfluous or cumbersome, and his use of color was also bold and assertive. Anyway, his style was not like that of a female designer.”

Her design was very masculine? Myrna raised an eyebrow.

Every time, she designed her drafts very simply because she didn’t like things that were too complicated, including complex designs.

What did liking simplicity have to do with gender? Couldn’t women design simple things?

The few people around Stephanie hadn’t noticed her yet, but a girl standing close by spoke up flatteringly.

“Didn’t Stephne’s family have a good relationship with the Taylor Group, the parent company of Sparkling Gems? Ask her if she has met…”

As these words were spoken, several girls turned to look at Stephanie, especially the girl who liked the Sparkling Gems brand; her eyes were wildly enthusiastic.

“Stephie, have you met S in person?”

The expression on Stephanie’s face stiffened, her eyelashes slightly drooping, her voice lacking confidence. “We’ve… we’ve met before.”

In fact, she had never met the legendary designer from the Sparkling Gems Group. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to meet him. She had previously asked her father to introduce her, saying she wanted to invite the designer to dinner, but she was ruthlessly rejected. No one was even willing to add her on Line.

But bragging a bit wouldn’t hurt, right? After all, these people would never go to the Taylor Group, let alone meet the genius designer that even she couldn’t meet.

Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief, instantly regaining her confidence.

“Have you met him? Is S a man or a woman? How old? I always thought he was very young; you can tell from his designs, they don’t have the constraints of those old-school, big-name designers…”

Stephanie gave a smug smile. “Sorry, I’m not at liberty to disclose that.”

“Ah, can’t both men and women design?”

With a guilty expression, Stephanie softly told her, “He himself didn’t allow it to be said, so it’s not right for me to say it.”

Myrna watched her quietly, her dark eyes seemingly looking at a clown. As she passed by a few people, she said in a hoarse voice, tinged with a hint of menace, “A woman.”

Stephanie hadn’t seen her for half a month. Upon seeing Myrna again, not only had she become more beautiful than before her injury, but she also seemed more carefree than ever. The rebellious aura about her was even more attractive than before.

She pinched her palm, unwillingly retorting, “What woman?”

Myrna had already passed by. Seeing her, she casually stopped and glanced at her with an indifferent look. “The ‘S’ you guys mentioned, is a girl.”

What did she mean? She herself just refused to reveal whether S was male or female, then she said S was female.
