If Estherâs mother were still alive, all the storms in the world would not pour on her because her mother would stand in front of her.
âEsther, if youâre worried about these things, you can remain anonymous. Just send me your completed design drafts, and Iâll handle the operation. Besides, as designers, mystery is also a kind of charm.
How about I try these modified design drafts of yours during my solo exhibition this time?â
Esther repeatedly declined, saying, âNo, these are your designs.â
âNo, theyâre our designs,â Anna insisted.
Anna scanned all the sketches into the computer and saved them as digital files.
âEsther, you must see with your own eyes how popular your design drafts are in the exhibitionâ¦â
Esther felt a slight unease in her heart but also a hidden sense of anticipation. She thought, if her designs were truly popular, would it mean that she could pursue a career in design?
âThen Iâll give it a try.â
Just then, Estherâs phone rang.
Esther glanced at the caller ID on the screen and immediately answered, asking softly, âHello, Iâm Felixâs mother.â
âHi, Iâm Felixâs teacher. Felix got into a fight with another kid at school today. Can you come over?â
Esther anxiously asked, âIs Felix injured?â
âHe isnât, but the other child is quite hurt.â
Upon hearing that Felix was not injured, Esther felt less worried and replied warmly, âIâll be right there.â
After hanging up, Esther looked at Anna apologetically. âAnna, my son had a little incident at kindergarten, and I need to go there now. Weâll keep in touch?â
Anna noticed Estherâs distress and said, âIâll send you.â
âItâs fine. Iâll take a cab.â
Anna watched Esther get into the cab, standing at the entrance of the exhibition hall before. turning and entering.
She wanted to turn Estherâs design drafts into reality. Only when they became real would Esther see how stunning her designs were to the world.
Felix fiercely stared at the boy crying on his motherâs lap at the kindergarten.
âMiss, let me tell you, my sonâs nose is bleeding, and his face is bruised from being hit by him. He must be expelled from the kindergarten!â The well-dressed lady looked at Felix with disdain and arrogantly said, âDoesnât your kindergarten check the family background when admitting students? How come all sorts of riffraff end up in this prestigious kindergarten?â The teacher replied somewhat awkwardly, âMrs. Marsden, accidents can happen when children play and roughhouse. Felix didnât do it on purpose-â
Before the teacher could finish speaking, Felix fiercely interrupted, âMiss, I did it on purpose!â
The lady, Megan Little, was furious and pointed at Felixâs little face, speaking rudely. âMiss, listen to what heâs saying. Heâs simply a ruffiana hooligan. Our kindergarten is the best in the city for the rich, and we absolutely cannot let such an ill-bred child ruin its reputation.â
This was what Esther heard Megan speaking about Felix when she arrived in a hurry. She immediately stood in front of Felix, her porcelain-like face cold, and she spoke with a clear and chilly voice. âSay it one more time and see what happens!â
