Chapter: 1618
"Did I hear that right? She's Rose, the acclaimed designer? No way!
But she's so young!"
"I had always thought that Rose is a persona made up by her studio.
It seemed more believable that a group of people were working together and collectively releasing their work under one name, especially with the numerous awards Rose has amassed."
"It's created a trend, actually. Many companies are doing the same to reel in the public. Isn't it all one big marketing gimmick?"
“That couldn't be right. Our company was also present at another bid conference. Someone asked about Rose, but she denied that they were the same person."
Suddenly, everyone was talking about Rosalynn.
Even Ballard was caught by surprise, but he recovered quickly. Cold disdain filled his eyes as he looked at Rosalynn.
With how things were going, $.W. Studio would almost certainly win the bidding.
“Fantastic! Every era boasts its prodigies, and Ms. Fuller is certainly one to behold," Gail exclaimed, her admiration evident.
"Your compliments are much appreciated," Rosalynn responded with a gracious smile before taking her seat.
The coordinator of the bid conference then beckoned the subsequent firms to proceed with their presentations.
Clutching her chest, Maggie leaned in and murmured, “Rosalynn, my nerves were through the roof earlier. I didn't slip up, did I?"
With an encouraging smile, Rosalynn reassured her, “You were splendid.
Even the judges paused to inquire further."
Maggie's lips formed a tight line as she confessed, “It wasn't my presentation skills. Your designs were the star.
"It was our combined effort that shone today, Rosalynn countered, and their shared smile sealed the conversation.
As the presentations neared their conclusion, the coordinator indicated a short break, all the while seeking the judges' input.
The judges conferred briefly before relaying their verdict to the coordinator, who, after the break, was ready to declare the outcome.
"The bid has been awarded to S.W. Studio of Hughes Group."
