Chapter 217
Franklin said in a lazy voice and teasing tone, "Sweetie, you're awake so early. Do you want another
sex?"
Hearing this, Sylvia even wanted to slap Franklin away.
She coughed, blinked, and looked at Franklin, "Captain Franklin, you did a good job last light. I am very
satisfied."
Franklin narrowed his eyes. With a smirk, he leaned over and held her firmly under his body. "Sweetie,
let's go on."
Sylvia hurriedly pushed him away. "No, I have something important to do today."
She walked quickly into the bathroom and began to wash up.
After taking a shower, Sylvia found that Franklin changed into a black suit, which made him look
extremely heroic and noble, but his handsome face was still as cold as ever.
Their sex lasted for the whole night, so both of them barely slept.
But Franklin looked energetic rather than tired.
Sylvia couldn't understand why he was so energetic.
Sylvia got a pure white dress from her suitcase. The dress was exquisite and could outline her pretty
figure, so she looked elegant and beautiful in it.
After that, Franklin and Sylvia got downstairs.
Just as Franklin sat down, Lilian put a cup of steaming in front of him. "Master Franklin, this is your
coffee."
Franklin glanced at Lilian indifferently and then said to Sylvia, "It's not good to drink coffee in the
morning. I want to eat the sandwich you make."
Sylvia reluctantly glanced at him. "I'm too tired to make it."
Franklin froze, and then a smile played on his lips. He said meaningfully, "It seems I did a little
outrageously. Don't worry. I will behave well in the future."
Sylvia flushed at once, thinking, "What a hooligan!"
Lilian stood awkwardly at the table and watched this.
She was burning with rage.
Lilian drugged the milk last night, but it was a pity that Sylvia did not drink it.
Therefore, Lilian decided to find another way to teach Sylvia a lesson.
Sylvia elegantly finished her breakfast, grabbed her handbag, and walked towards the door. "See you,
Franklin."
Franklin's face changed. He took a big step towards her and clasped her wrist. "What do you mean? NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Where are you going?"
"Thanks for taking me in last night, but now I'm going to do my own business. It has nothing to do with
you." Sylvia looked at Franklin with her watery eyes. She glanced at the time and found she was going
to be late.
"I'll drive you." Franklin fixed his eyes on Sylvia, wanting to see what she was going to do.
"You should have to work today." Sylvia raised an eyebrow.
"I'll change my shift." Franklin looked at Sylvia with great affection in his eyes.
Words failed Sylvia. Anyway, as the president of SouthStar Airlines, Franklin could do whatever he
wanted.
How capricious!
Sylvia was in a hurry, so she didn't refuse.
"Take me to Atlantis Hotel," Sylvia got into Franklin's Lamborghini and said.
Franklin sat in the driver's seat and grabbed her hand. He wondered what she was going to do in
Atlantis Hotel.
Sylvia pulled out her hand and began to read the messages on her phone.
Many people were asking her in a chat group called LX.
"Ms. X, when will you arrive? We are all waiting for you."
"Hurry up and come! You didn't come to the hotel last night. Where did you go?"
"Please come over quickly. We've waited for a long time."
Reading this, Sylvia replied, "I'll be right there."
Half an hour later, the car pulled over steadily in front of Atlantis Hotel.
Sylvia quickly got out of the car and stepped into it.
Franklin was lost for words. It seemed he was used as a driver.
What a heartless woman Sylvia was!
In a presidential suite of a hotel, the higher-ups of LX all looked solemn.
The core members of the design department were also there.
A woman dressed ably crossed her arms, saying in an impatient and harsh voice, "The runway show of
Lleilaga Fashion Week is very important to LX. Many high-end brands will participate and introduce
their new products. In the end, there will be a selection process and some very important awards will
be given to the winners. What's up with Ms. X? Where is she now?"
"Ms. Morton, Ms. X said she would be here soon," A designer whispered.
Reina Morton glanced coldly at this designer and put on a long face. "Does she really think LX will go
out of business without her? Does she think herself a diva? We're all waiting for her!"
Lleilaga Fashion Week, one of the four major fashion weeks in the world, ranked third in terms of
reputation, but it was very influential.
Generally, only local brands could win awards here.
It was very hard for foreign brands to get nominated, let alone win awards.
This was LX's first time attending Lleilaga Fashion Week, so it was a rare opportunity.
This was also the first time for Reina, the design director of LX, to lead the team to be here.
She attached great importance to Lleilaga Fashion Week. At first, she had no hope that LX could
compete with local brands.
After all, few foreign brands had won awards in history.
However, recently, Reina met a jury of the fashion week, so she was very confident now.
Reina didn't expect Designer X to be so uncooperative, which would erode Reina's prestige in the
company in the future.
Designer X was secretive all the time and had never appeared in the company, so only a few top
executives had seen her in person.
Even Reina had never seen Designer X, which, from where Reina stood, was a kind of contempt.
Therefore, Reina had long held strong animosity and dissatisfaction towards Designer X. She was
angry that Designer X acted mysterious even here.
Burning with rage, Reina fixed her eyes on the doorway of the suite.
All the designers were holding their breath. As a thirty-year-old single woman, Reina was very grumpy,
so no one liked her.
Reina had been resenting Designer X for a long time, and now she was going to throw a hit.
She had wanted to snap at Designer X a long time ago, but Designer X never came to the company.
Designer X only appeared on the due date.
Time went on.
After about ten minutes or so, someone knocked on the door.
An assistant hurried to open the door, only to see a tall and slender woman at the door. With a mask
covering half of her face, the woman looked elegant and mysterious in a white dress. It was Sylvia,
known as Designer X.
When Sylvia stepped into the suite, she realized the tense atmosphere.
Sylvia raised an eyebrow and put a bag of a few cups of coffee on the table. "Sorry, I'm late."
Then she gestured for the assistant to distribute the coffee to everyone and said indifferently, "I bought
these on the way here for you."
"Thank you, Ms. X."
"Wow, I love the coffee of this cafe the most."
"We love you so much, Ms. X."
Reina narrowed her eyes, glanced at Sylvia, and said disdainfully, "Ms. X, you're twenty minutes late.
Everyone is waiting for you. By the way, as the chief designer, why do you never show your true face?
You will tarnish our brand image with this look."
Hearing this, Sylvia looked toward Reina coldly with a smile. "Ms. Morton, I don't think LX's image
depends on what I wear. It depends on our products."
"How dare you!" Reina didn't expect Sylvia to be so tough. She took a deep breath and smiled. "Ms. X,
I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued."
Sylvia took a sip of coffee and said, "I didn't expect Ms. Morton to be so mean."
As the design director, Reina was always outshone by Sylvia, who was known as a genius designer.
Thus, a strong gust of hatred welled up in Reina's chest.
With sharp eyes, Reina got a good idea, "Ms. X, do you want to make a bet?"
Sylvia's pretty eyes were cold. Even if she wore a pair of flat shoes, she was still taller than Reina, who
was wearing high heels. Sylvia looked down at Reina, cold and noble.
Sylvia was born beautiful. Although half of her face was covered by the mask, the others were sure that
she boasted a perfect face.
She absently took another sip of coffee. "Ms. Morton, just go ahead."
Sylvia's indifference greatly annoyed Reina.
Trembling with anger, Reina looked up into Sylvia's eyes and said with a long face, "Your LX series and
my LS series both attend the fashion week on behalf of LX. If LS series wins the award, you must
resign and leave the company. If you win the award, I'll go. Is that OK?"
Reina's words stunned everyone present.
LX series and LS series could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.
LX series was mainly aimed at high-end customers, celebrities, and noblewomen.
LS series mainly targeted middle-class and white-collar workers. Because of its large target customer
group, LS series always had higher total sales than LX series.
But as a high-end series, LX series enjoyed an excellent reputation among the noblewomen, so the
new products would be sold out as soon as they were launched.
Therefore, there was no comparison between LX series and LS series.
A designer named Shiloh Prince, who had a good relationship with Sylvia, frowned and said, "Ms.
Morton, don't you think you're pushing Ms. X too far?"
Reina sneered. "Shiloh, the show hasn't even begun. You are so unconfident about your products."
