Hello Mr. King - Chapter 88

Chapter 88

“This is too perfect!” Austin sighed in excited admiration .

 “Mr . Austin, if my guess is correct, this set of jewelry represents Huifre [1], no?” Yun Xiangxiang chuckled .

“Yes, Huifre,” Austin nodded, “Can you tell me what made you see Huifre, smart lady?”

 “Huifre governs dreams . When I saw this set of jewelry, I could only think of how dreamlike it looked,” Yun Xiangxiang answered with a smile .

 “You saw its element of dream?” An astonished voice arced into their conversation . A gaunt man who had greyish-white beard trotted toward Yun Xiangxiang, “Did you really see the dream? Did you really see Huifre?”

 “My first feeling when I saw this set was that it felt magnificently dreamlike . Since this is an ‘Angel’ series, I guessed that it should be Huifre . ”

 Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know who he was . However, he must have been someone special to be able to come here and interrupt Austin’s conversation with her whenever he wanted .

 “Yun, please allow me to formally introduce you to my best partner; chief designer Percy,” Austin made the introduction, “He’s retiring soon . ‘Angel’ is his final dream . ”

 “Nice to meet you, Mr . Percy,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled courteously .

 Percy should already be sixty . It was really an age where someone should retire . It was little wonder why MonRoe would work tirelessly to create such an extravagant series . He must have contributed his whole life to the brand to be able to become chief designer .

 “A pleasure, angel from the east,” Percy used a title that signified importance . This statement all but confirmed her right to be the spokesperson for ‘Angel . ’”You can take a look at the other couple of sets to see who you see in them?”

 Only three sets of jewelry were taken out this time . Yun Xiangxiang was already wearing one of them .

 “It shall be my honor,” Yun Xiangxiang accepted the offer gladly .

 Percy stretched his hand to invite Yun Xiangxiang to another side . The first of the other two sets was even more splendid . Aside from white diamonds, there were also black jades . They looked quietly elegant .

 They were arranged closely . White diamonds swirled around the black jade . The enigmatic jade was bursting with light and energy . On top of that, this set of jewelry probably cost more than double that of Huifre .

 Yun Xiangxiang’s fingertip traced the outline of the box that was housing the jewelry, “I see power in this set of jewelry . I think it’s Outyua . ”

 Percy absolutely didn’t know what to say . There was only astonishment in his azure eyes that was peering at Yun Xiangxiang .

 Yun Xiangxiang only took a look at the last set before answering, “Aukmia . ”

 The necklace for this set had seven wings spread out and was absolutely symmetrical from its center .

 Aukmia was the first angel from the left . It had seven wings, but alas it was a perfectionist . Aukmia was haunted by Its wings’ asymmetry to the point where it even asked God to add or take away one wing .

 Aukmia was also the weakest among all the angels . That was why this set of jewelry had relatively simple outlines compared to the previous two . The precious stones embedded in it weren’t as luxurious either .

 “Yun, did you learn jewelry design before?” Percy was already suspecting .

 He already drew the whole set of jewelry and gave them to his students to look at . Everyone could guess the set that took Aukmia as inspiration . However, nobody else could answer anything else correctly .

 Some even mistook Outyua as Huifre .

 He thought he was the one who didn’t express it quite adequately after hearing his students’ reasons . However, Yun Xiangxiang whom he met today could actually understand what the jewelry was trying to say .

 To a jewelry designer, every piece of work was a work of art that had its own soul . They weren’t something that were assembled haphazardly without any inspiration or design . That kind of work wouldn’t shine .

 A designer would hope to come across those who could understand the meaning behind their work just with a look without needing them to explain . It would be the highest form of acknowledgement a designer could get .

 “Oh no, I may be a lady, but I’m not fanatical about jewelry . ” She didn’t really like jewelry, and basically only bought it when she needed them . She wouldn’t give them any thought if she didn’t use it .

 “Oh, that is such a shame . You would have been a gifted jewelry designer!” Percy regretted it . He would take her as his student had Yun Xiangxiang been a jewelry designer .

 “Thank you, but I prefer being an actress,” Yun Xiangxiang enjoyed the thrill of experiencing different characters and the free expression of emotions during filming, “Can I start the shoot now?”

 “Yes, you can,” Austin immediately ordered the photographer and everyone else to be in position .

 Percy took a step further and followed Yun Xiangxiang around . He dismissed the photographer’s assistant and helped Yun Xiangxiang straighten out the gown’s hemline . He exchanged questions about positions and angles with Yun Xiangxiang .

 “Percy hasn’t been so happy for a long time,” Austin who was standing at one side lamented to He Wei . “Thank you, He . Percy gave all his passion to MonRoe . He was diagnosed with cancer . The doctor had already advised him to give up treatment . We don’t know how many days he has left in his life . Father decided to fulfill his final dream and gave his all to create ‘Angel’ which he has planned for ten years . ”

 “That is regrettable news . ” He Wei consoled Austin .

 “I think we can talk about our collaboration now . ” Austin invited He Wei to the office at the side with a smile .

 He Wei and Austin had already finished their negotiations about the terms on a pleasant note when Yun Xiangxiang finished her shoot . They couldn’t help but to feel shaken to the core when they saw the enlarged photo after they came out .

 The pale gold silk shone like the rays of the sun, paired with the pure, snowy ivory . The slim figure hinted an enchanting smile . A maiden with wisps of mist in her eyes, the jewelry that radiated brilliant light…

 “Austin my partner, look at this . Isn’t it perfect?” Percy didn’t want to avert his gaze when he laid eyes upon the photo .

 “Yes, perfect . ” Austin was already out of words for praise . He thought that this photo would make everyone go crazy if it were to be published .

 “It’s not actually perfect . It would look even better if my hair was dyed blond,” Yun Xiangxiang found the only flaw after she peered at the photo .

 “Yes, gold would be even more flawless . ” Percy nodded in assent, “Yun, your hair will be transformed soon . ”

 “I’ll accept the best arrangements . ” Yun Xiangxiang could already imagine how her hair would be tormented in the photoshoot for the sets of jewelry after this . She would probably don one hair color or multiple colors for one set .

 Wearing a wig wouldn’t be natural . This was a needed sacrifice for the job . She wasn’t averse to it, but was only thinking about how to care for her hair when she got back home .

 Austin warmly invited them to his house . He jovially made some steaks himself .

 He Wei took Yun Xiangxiang and departed after they had settled the matter of tomorrow’s shooting of the promotional video . Austin and Percy each gave a gift to Yun Xiangxiang before they left .

 “The negotiations for the global ambassador are done . The contract’s signing would be tomorrow . However, it’s not for the whole product line . The contract of their European ambassador for their wristwatch is still ongoing . Austin said that they’ll prioritize you after this . ” He Wei was in a good mood .
