Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Being the Queen of My Own

Heated discussions were provoked upon the revealing of the two designing works. As the convention went, Newman Jewelry would promote one major product for the new patch of each season. No one had expected it would come with two key products three years after the last time. Despite the comments saying that was a greedy move, customers just couldn’t move their eyes away the moment these two pieces were exposed to the public. The work on the left, with the name “Door of Heart”, was in the pattern of a silver key centering around a conspicuous rose, which came well from the theme of the gorgeous orange “Lady Charlotte”. Some fine letters below read, “Waiting for you to open the door of my heart”. Audience got so touched by the design, with their comments like — “I’m not an expert of fashion design. I just guess the framework of the key symbols men while the rose

inside, women. Only the right one could get the door of heart opened?” “Since Lady Charlotte basically refers to the feverish passion, I don’t think it’s limited to the love between men and women.” “Indeed. In fact, all those who have locked their heart are longing for someone to reopen it.” “Who wouldn’t want to be the key to open the heart of the one he or she loves?” The one on the right, “Portal of life”, was a ring decorated with diamond. The color of magnificent brilliant

yellow invigorated the chilly stone. There was a little princess between the two roses, which seemed like

the decoration over her hair, or simply a crown. The annotation read, “Being the queen of my own if no

one dotes on me like a princess.” This piece, which was obviously aiming at female customers, did strike the chords of women’s heart.

Their comments were —

“That’s exactly what I wanna say now.” “I did long for true love when I was young, dreaming for some man to dote on me like a princess. And

now I’ve ended up as his nanny!” “I’ve long been past the age to be a princess. What I’m working for now is to be a queen that has full

control of her own life!” “I’d rather be a queen than a princess. What a thrilling life I could lead to conquer the world…and gigolos

as well!”

“May I have one ring like that? It must be cool to hang around wearing it…” Comments that flooded in almost covered the whole screen. The presenter thought it the right time to

invite the two designers to present their ideas.

Hailey patted Ava on the shoulder before Ava went on to the stage, “Relax. Just speak up.” Ava nodded vigorously as an encouragement for herself,

Standing at the wing of the stage, Chris smiled at Ava, who was sweeping her fists to get herself relaxed.

“Enjoy your moment in the spotlight, Ava.” he tried to hearten her. “I’ll be the first customer of your work!”

Chris’ remark only paid off for a few seconds, as Ava’s heart then began to beat even more violently. She

was flushed. How she wanted to let him know he was the very inspiration of her design!

At that moment, Ada, who had got used to such a big scene, finally dragged the timid student up to the

stage. Yet Ava turned out to be acting unexpectedly naturally facing the questions of the presenter and journalists. Her eyes even lit up when she came to the part of her designing concept. “Look at that little girl, she’s simply bursting with vitality. That is being young!” That actually reminded Hailey of herself when she was young enough to go with the similar flashes in her eyes. But where had

the sparkles gone now?

Chris’ eyes were just locked on Ava as the smile never left his face.

Hailey looked at him with a knowing smile. “Fond of that?” “Sure.” Chris answered without thinking. After quite a while, he finally realized he made the hasty

response before he had fully grasped what Hailey meant. His smile freezing, Chris quickly turned back to

Hailey, “Ms. Newman, I…”

“Why do you have to be nervous simply because you are fond of something?” Hailey stared at him. “Don’t

tell me we are talking about different things.”

Chris scratched his hair with embarrassment. “Well I think we are talking about the same matter.”

“Our serious Chris finally knows something about the mundane life, huh!” Hailey laughed lightly “It’s the

best thing in this world when there is mutual passion between a pair What else could it be? Just go

along with what you heart tells you!”

Something flickered in Chris’ eyes, as he had never excepted Ms. Newman would allow for the

relationship between her dear cousin and him so easily But Hailey soon darkened her face seriously, “I have no objection to your courtship to Ava. But you will

have to do it in your spare time, and you should never let her down. Or else you’ll end up very miserable!” “Got it!” Chris replied resolutely in ecstasy. “Please rest assured. I would never get my work affected, and

will be good to Ava forever!”

“Look at you!” Hailey reproached him jocosely and was about to return to her seat. The moment she turned back, her eyes met those of Owen, who was beaming and told her mildly, “Congratulations.” A deep frown crept upon Hailey’s face. “How did you get into the backstage?” Owen replied blandly, “I just told the guards I’m your boyfriend.” Hailey’s frown got deeper. She told him indifferently, “You can get out now, as I have no boyfriend.” She

then sat on the sofa and watched Ada’s presentation attentively as if Owen had never appeared. Owen’s smile froze as he stood stiffly behind the sofa. Was she still mad about the phone call? Thinking

of that, his face darkened.

Owen then strode up, with his eyes downcast. “I was being impertinent to make that call. But I did it only

because I was afraid you would be hurt and just wanted to ask if you needed a hand…” “Mr. Moore, I’m too busy to have a chit-chat with you.” Hailey cut in impatiently. “You could get going now if there’s nothing serious here.” Her tone sounded so cold.
