Chapter 59: Best Shot At Having A Great Ally
{Now that you are done with that impromptu fashion show, it’s time you get back to the main task at hand, no more breaks until it’s completed}, the system voiced as Lily flopped on her dorm bed, exhausted from the long flight back home just after touring the whole city.
“Aren’t you going to let me rest, at least?” She grumbled on the pillow. {You’ll have enough time to rest in the future, but for now, you can’t. The clothing businesses you started need a lot of boosting, and then there is the Hamilton family that is silently making their move to expand}
Hearing the name of her ex-family mentioned, all forms of tiredness drained from her eyes as she hurriedly sat up.
Although she had been away on the fashion trip to Paris and had been busy trying to keep up with the show, she had also been planning her life and how she’d make her comeback and sweep her ex-family off the market in a grand way, leaving them no room to stand again.
It was inevitable that she would need strong allies as well as talented substitutes, which is why she had been scouting for talents across the country during her leisure time in Paris.
Watson’s group is her best shot at having a great ally, but even they are not enough for the great plans she has for the future. Not only are they far behind, but their current inner political struggles aren’t suitable for her plans.
All of her plans need to wait until they have truly chosen who to be the next chairman. Which is why she had vaguely suggested using the security system to bid for the federal government’s project.
And depending on who is chosen, plans to use them as an alley may stand or change. But if everything goes as planned then her preparation and her investments in the Watson’s group would not be in vain.
Mark’s image flashed through her mind as she thought about the group. She sighed and immediately picked up her laptop.
“I need to finish settling the original body owner’s wish so I won’t get held down by it in the future.” She mumbled as she got to work creating a domain for ‘Lily’s Fashion’
Her plan after creating such hype during the fashion show in Paris was to use the popularity to publicise her brand and make her official debut in the fashion world.
As Lily worked tirelessly on setting up the domain for ‘Lily’s Fashion,’ her mind couldn’t help but wander to the challenges that lay ahead. The fashion industry was cutthroat, and she knew that establishing her brand wouldn’t be an easy feat.
Her experience with Merrisa and Evie during the show had truly given her a reality check. Unless she is strong enough, she could never win against those giant companies that had already established themselves for several decades.
The fake scandal was just the tip of an iceberg, and it will only get worse the more popular and stronger the opponents she meets. But she was determined to make her mark and prove to everyone, especially to the Smith family, that she was not a force to be reckoned with.
Lily also knew that in order to achieve her goals, she needed to find a way to support Watson’s group in their internal struggle. Mark’s face kept popping up in her thoughts, and she found herself thinking about how she could help him secure his position as the next chairman.
After all, he was a big piece of her long-term plans.
“If Mark becomes the chairman, it would be beneficial for me to form an alliance with Watson’s group,” Lily mused to herself. “But I need to be careful not to get too involved in their politics. I have to focus on building my own empire first.”
As she continued working on her laptop, her phone buzzed with a notification. She glanced at it and saw that she had received an email in response to the email she asked Alana to send to a particular dance group to be their custom designer.
She had almost given up hope of working with the group after not getting a response from them in the past two weeks.
The dance group, known as the “Silhouettes,” is an upcoming contemporary dance group with a lot of potential to go on the international stage.
Being a designer for them would not yield much profit in the early stages, but that was a risk she was willing to take for the greater good.
She picked up her phone and read the email.
Mr Drake: Hello! I’m truly sorry for the late reply. To be honest, your mail was buried under so many mails, and it took us some time to sort through it.
“I have read your proposal to be a designer for our group, and I’ve gone through the sample designs you sent with the proposal. If I must say, they are incredible, and they go along with the artistic picture we have for the group.”
“However, as the group is just starting out, we can’t afford to employ a designer on stage. But we would like for you to design the custom we will use on the national dance stage in April. If you are still interested, I would love to get a reply from you soon.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Lily grinned happily as she read the mail. It wasn’t exactly what she was aiming for, but she’ll make do with what she’s given for now.
Without much thought, she sent a reply and went back to designing the website for her store.
It was almost noon the next day when everything got set up, and using the popularity she gained to her advantage, she posted on her social media platform.
