Chapter 442 - A Rare Opportunity
Jia Li knew that her little girl was a little spoiled, so she thought that learning little manners at that age wouldn't be a bad thing, so she thought the little bun things each time they were together.
At times, she would ask the little bun to repeat some words after her or point at things. Jasmine couldn't talk, but her ways of babbling could be counted as a response. Just like now, she could call 'bába' which means 'Dad' in English, and 'máma' which means 'Mum' in English. And when you are asked who she started calling first from her both parents, who do you think was called first?
The next morning at the Bai family, Breakfast was served hot for Bai Fen as her husband's lawyer arrived very early in the morning with the divorce papers for her to sign.
There was no need to think twice even if this was not what she wanted, but did she have a choice?
After signing the divorce papers, Bai Fen glanced at the house which once welcomed her and brought glory to her, and has now turned her back against her. While reminiscing, tears dropped from her eyes. Although she regretted her actions which was somewhat the cause for today's disaster, her greater thoughts, and regrets, were all the good things she was going to miss as she didn't know what her fate would be like without the Bai family's support.
After glancing at the house one more time, Bai Fen picked up her luggage and left the building, and right outside the house, there was a cab already waiting for her.
Old Mrs. Bai was the one that asked for a cab to take her out of the Bai family, but only if Bai Fen would be grateful for her actions.
Immediately after Bai Fen left, the rest of the Bai family members, had breakfast and sat down to plan about their future since they could not remain in the City.
At FJ, good news has just been announced to the Creative Arts department, and more especially to the newbies that made it to be FJ's Official creative designers, by Sunny.
The good news is that Fu Hua has given an opportunity to the newbies to participate in the Autumn show. The Top 5 best designs, will be picked, and clothes made out of them will be worn by a model and displayed on the Autumn fashion show.
This was indeed good news for the newbies as this was a big deal. The Big Boss was letting their works be displayed on the Autumn Fashion show, what a rare privilege and honor.
But if only the newbies knew that Fu Hua created that opportunity because of his dearest wife, Jia Li, they would surely worship at her feet after getting over the shock.
When this announcement was made, Jia Li finally understood why Fu Hua asked her not to complain he wasn't taking care of her.
Although an opportunity lay in wait for the 5 lucky designers, they all had to work hard, as they were only given till the end of work that day, to submit their designs.
The newbies were still getting used to their Big Boss's way of doing things. He was known to put them under a lot of pressure in other to produce a mind-blowing result, which worked all the time.
Even when stress came with this rare opportunity of substance, the newbies didn't dare to complain and instead put in all their efforts into creating a design they felt would be the best of all their creation.
There was one person who was kind of deeply annoyed, and that was Jia Li. She didn't see today's stress coming after struggling to run away from the little bun who wanted to follow her out in the morning. Jasmine's cries were capable of pulling down the Fu Mansion, and you can imagine what it would be like to hear her cry especially when she wanted to be stubborn.
Honestly, Jia Li didn't think she could pull off creating a new design from her head today no matter how hard she tried. But luckily, she got an idea.
Jia Li remembered that she has lots of drafts at home, so she closed her eyes, and began to imagine that she was at the Fu Mansion. In her imagination, she took out her special illustration booklet and started flipping through the pages in search of the perfect design to pick.
On the middle page, Jia Li stopped to glance at a red dress that looked attractive. Jia Li spent a little time considering if it would fit the Autumn Fashion Show before deciding to go with the illustration.
After deciding, Jia Li came back to reality and immediately picked up a sketchbook and pencil and began to draw like the rest of her colleagues who started before her.
After drawing, the next thing was for Jia Li to make her drawing come alive, and so she picked up a red-colored brush pen and began to paint her drawing.
At the end of work hours, everyone submitted their illustrations before leaving. When Fu Hua came back from work that day, Jia Li kept complaining to him until he was forced to shut her up with a kiss.
Jia Li pushed him away and asked with a frown, "Are you trying to bribe me?." And then Fu Hua's answer came, "No sweetheart I'm not trying to bribe you. I'm doing pure business, and I'm only comforting you, but I'm sorry for stressing you."
"Really?." Jia Li asked with a frown. His explanation didn't help to calm her nerves in any way. Although she respected him for treating her equally with the others, she was still a little annoyed and frustrated with his way of picking the wrong time to stress them. But it was not all his fault.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I left for work before you and had no idea you had to deal with our little princess before coming out. If I knew about that, I would have shifted the task to tomorrow, but still, I'm sorry." Fu Hua said while holding Jia Li's arms.
Jia Li sighed in return and said, "Forget it, how dare I be angry with you? If my Boss should be another person, I wouldn't dare to complain in his presence no matter how dissatisfied I am, so I'm sorry too, but I really need a massage right now."
Fu Hua's eyes immediately lit up at her last sentence, "You need a massage, sure!"
