Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime
Chapter 1263

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1263

If you want to pursue a career in design, just burying your head in drawing designs is not enough. Jane McCain must learn to socialize and network.

In this regard, Jane used to do quite well, but after falling ill, she increasingly resisted contact with the opposite sex.

Jane aimlessly swiped through her phone, but the photos of men inside failed to arouse her interest. She couldn’t help but think of the phone call she received from Allen Rivera over a month ago.

He asked, "Want to go on a blind date tonight?"

How did she respond at that time?

"...No, no more blind dates."

Having already sensed a subtle attraction, how could she shamelessly go and meet other men on blind dates?

And then...

And then...

Nothing more happened...

Allen said, "Get some good rest. I’ll make plans to meet you another day."

That must have been just a polite remark, because over the next month or so, Allen didn’t call or send any messages.

They were originally people from two different worlds, with no intersection and no topics of conversation. Several times she saw his name in her contacts list, wanting to say hello, but it always felt too abrupt.

Jane turned off her phone in frustration, thinking to herself how foolish she was.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have said "yes" to the blind date back then!

At least that way, she would have had an excuse to invite him to accompany her.

Sigh...

She sighed deeply in her heart, feeling like every step she took was the wrong one.

Thinking back, such a long period without contact should be enough to show that he’s probably not interested in her, right?... Initiating contact might just be more annoying. Let it be...

Let it be...

...

On Sunday, Jane stayed home drawing design drafts. In the afternoon, she had nothing to do, so seeing her somewhat haggard reflection in the mirror, she went to the beauty salon for some skincare treatment.

The beautician who was massaging her face kept complimenting her beautiful lips and good skin.

Jane was already accustomed to this, lying expressionless on the beauty bed.

She would never delude herself into thinking the compliments were sincere.

It was just a sales tactic, and she expected the introduction of new products would follow.

Sure enough, the beautician mentioned that Jane had some dark circles and could try a new eye cream from their shop, which had excellent results.

Jane was a VIP member of the shop, so trying new products was free of charge.

Well, she might as well try it.

She had stayed up drawing design drafts until 2 AM the previous night, undoubtedly burning the midnight oil.

The beautician massaged her eye area and smiled, saying, "After completing this treatment, you’ll become even more beautiful, but this isn’t the best beauty product."

Jane kept her eyes closed, thinking: Enough already, don’t go on and on...

The beautician said, "Love is the best beauty product in the world. A woman in love doesn’t need any cosmetics to look radiant."

Jane: "..."

After a moment of silence, she asked, "If it’s unrequited love that ends in nothing, wouldn’t that be the equivalent of ruining one’s appearance?"

Beautician: "Hehehe, you’re so funny."

Who’s being funny with you? I’m speaking from the heart!

...

The next day was Monday, and Jane went to work at the company "radiant."

It proved that going to the beauty salon to indulge in some facial care still had some benefits. Although she didn’t know if love could make a woman more beautiful, she checked in the mirror and the new eye cream’s results were indeed impressive, as the dark circles were no longer visible.

The company was her mother’s, Lanvi Fashion Design, mainly focusing on women’s clothing, but also dealing with shoes and bags. In recent years, since Jane joined, the company started venturing into jewelry design.

There were jewelry sets designed specifically for clothing, and each quarter they released individual pieces, with the overall style managed by Jane.

Having a capable mother saved Jane a lot of trouble in her career.

After several meetings with the department heads, it was unknowingly already three in the afternoon.

The assistant came in and said to her, "Mr. Riviera is outside, saying he has an appointment with you. Should I let him in?"

"Just tell him I’m not in the office." Jane thought for a moment and added, "Tell him I went to see a psychiatrist. We’ll make plans another day."
