Chapter 18 Arrogant Zoey
Zoey joined Born Beauty just a month ago, holding the position of a junior C–level designer.
Everyone thought she could get into Born Beauty at first, all because of Ariana’s connection, because Zoey graduated from Corbourne Harrington University Mechanical Manufacturing Technology, which had nothing to do with fashion design.
Ariana looked regretful and asked, “Zoey, are you really leaving Born Beauty?”
Zoey raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “What, you think I should continue to let others use my sketches as their’s?”
Ariana pursed her lips, and she naturally understood Zoey’s words.
It seems that this scoundrel is not going to create artwork for her anymore.
Some people couldn’t help but laugh after hearing it.
Design Director Jayleen Neal chuckled, “Ms. Harmon has only been at Born Beauty for a month and it seems she hasn’t produced a decent sketch yet, right? The words she just said seem a bit arrogant!”
Zoey looked at Ariana and said, “Ariana, did I sound arrogant when I said this?”
Ariana clenched her rouge nails into her palm, how could she

possibly publicly acknowledge Zoey’s talent.
She forced a smile and said, “Zoey, although your major is mechanical engineering, your spirit is commendable. After all, it is indeed difficult to work in a field that you are not good at. I have seen your efforts.”
Nelson snorted, “Ariana, you were too kind, still speaking up for her until now.”
Speak up for her?
Zoey found it hilarious, as it sounded like someone was speaking up for her, but in reality, every word was actually belittling her.
“Alright, stop putting on this act of praising and belittling here, it’s quite boring,” Zoey took out her resignation letter from her bag and slammed it on Nelson’s desk, “Sign it quickly, I’m leaving immediately.”
Nelson’s face turned cold, and he quickly signed the document. He looked at the HR director and said, “What are you standing there for? Go and process the paperwork and terminate her contract!”
Ariana’s eyes welled up with tears, “Zoey, Born Beauty had such a promising future. Don’t be irresponsible to yourself just
because of some unpleasantness, okay?”
Nelson sneered, “Ariana really thought about you. Once you leave Born Beauty, you won’t find another design studio that can accommodate you!”
Just as the words fell, a clear and crisp female voice sounded.

“Who said there won’t be?”
All eyes fell on the woman who walked into the conference room. She had a princess cut hairstyle, was dressed in a white. suit, and wore seven–centimeter white high heels, Her demeanor was cool and composed.
She was followed by a small assistant wearing black–framed glasses.
Everyone knew this design industry guru, Leanna, who was not only the founder of Z&L Design but also one of the owners of Galaxy Studio.
Leanna stood by Zoey’s side and extended her hand, “On behalf of Galaxy Studio, I hired Zoey as the lead designer for my department. I hope Zoey can lead Z&L Design to soar higher. and higher!”
Everyone was shocked, after all, Z&L Design was an internationally renowned luxury brand, while Born Beauty was only a domestic first–tier brand at that time.
Zoey was even hired as an S–level designer, which was absolutely astonishing.
In the design industry, designers are divided into four levels, C, B, A, and S.
S is the symbol of the highest level designer, only designers. who have achieved top three in international competitions are qualified to become S–level designers.
Nelson laughed out loud, “Was this one hired by Russell to boost your presence here?”

Leanna gave him a cold glance and said, “Some people are just trying to deceive others, mistaking a dead fish eye for a precious gem, while failing to see the real pearl. I hired Zoey for my studio because she is qualified. Unlike some people, who just like to put their own labels on other people’s work.”
Ariana tightened her lips upon hearing the words.
She felt that Leanna was implying something about her, it must be because Zoey said something to Leanna.
Leanna glanced at the assistant and the assistant immediately took out the contract from the bag and read out the hiring conditions.
When she pronounced her annual salary to be two hundred million, plus a ten percent commission on annual sales, everyone was stunned.
Design director Jayleen twitched at the corner of her mouth, “Is this almost catching up with the annual salary of designer Star?”
Leanna smirked, “Because she deserved it.”
Jayleen’s eyes flickered, and she remained silent.
Leanna came to support her, and Zoey naturally wanted to give her face, so she quickly signed her name with a big stroke.
Nelson sneered, “Ms. Spence, even if Galaxy Studio is rich, they should spend their money wisely. I’m afraid your money is going down the drain.”
Leanna glanced at Ariana and said, “Mr. Maddox, you should worry about your own company. After all, once today is over,
you may never be able to create high–quality designs again!“.
She looked at Zoey, “Ms. Harmon, is there anything else in your office that needs to be organized?”
“There were also some discarded drafts of paintings.”
Leanna laughed and said, “Take it all away then. After all, even if the sketch is discarded, those mediocre people wouldn’t be able to come up with it even after a hundred years of learning.”
The crowd: “…”
Zoey and Leanna turned around and walked out of the meeting room, with the assistant and Alissa following closely behind.
Ariana stood up and ran out following.
There have been too many things happening these days, Zoey did something extreme, she forcefully beat her down.
She finally caught her breath, and Zoey came to play resignation again.
Those sketches were Zoey’s preparation for her summer
collection. She hadn’t had a chance to look at them yet, and now Zoey wants to take them away. Absolutely not!
Nelson saw the situation and followed suit.
Curious, everyone was eager and rushed out.
The moment Zoey opened the office door, Ariana ran over and leaned against the doorway.
She opened her arms and said, “You have resigned, all the

previous drafts you drew belong to the company! You cannot take them away!”
Zoey coldly said, “Step aside.”
Ariana was half a head shorter than Zoey, and she looked up at her. “Zoey, it’s just some discarded drafts. Why do you care so much?”
Zoey’s lips curved with a mocking arc, “Yeah, then why did you also care so much about some discarded drafts? What, can’t you even draw discarded drafts?”
Ariana caught a glimpse of Nelson’s figure and firmly said,
you “Zoey, even if it’s a discarded draft, it was still something drew after learning some design at Born Beauty. This involves the secrets of Born Beauty, so you can’t take it away!”
Zoey gave Alissa a signal, and Alissa immediately stepped forward, grabbing Ariana’s neck with one hand and throwing her into Nelson’s arms.
Ariana sobbed, “Nelson, I was thinking for the company. You see, if our design concept was stolen by another design studio, it would cause incalculable losses.”
Nelson said in a low voice, “Zoey, today you couldn’t take any of the drafts from this office, otherwise you won’t be able to leave the company!”
Alissa glanced coldly, “I dare anyone to make a fuss!”
Zoey patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t be upset, it’s okay.”
She looked at Nelson and said, “You can rest assured that I will

never take away a single draft.”
She turned around and walked into the office, opened the cabinet, and took out a thick stack of sketches.
She took out a lighter from her bag and lit it in front of everyone.
The sketches burned into ashes in an instant.
Ariana looked at the scene in astonishment, “You, you actually burned the manuscript?”
Zoey smiled faintly and lightly tapped her head with her fingertips, “The sketches are all here, no one can take them away.”
