“Please hold on, Miss Xing Chen.”

Luo Chenxi was preparing to head home after coming out of the meeting room when she was stopped by someone as she made her way to the entrance of SL Holdings.

“Chief Sheng?” Luo Chenxi was rather surprised by the incoming person. “Thank you very much for today. I didn’t want to interrupt earlier because I saw that you were busy handling the press interview.”

“Is every student from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts as hypocritical as you?” Sheng Yu raised his brows.

“Huh?” She was stunned for a moment.

“I’m supposed to thank you for today instead. Had it not been for your design, the fashion show wouldn’t have triggered so much response.”

“Cough, cough. You’re being too modest…” Upon hearing his compliment to her, Luo Chenxi’s first reaction was not joy but horror.

When Sheng Yu noticed her vigilant expression, he pursed his lips indifferently. He took something out from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand.

“This is for you as a keepsake.”

Luo Chenxi lowered her head and saw an exquisite jewelry box. She was about to reject the gift when she heard him say, “Open it and take a look first.”

As instructed, she opened the box, in the center of which, a blood-red butterfly brooch nestled silently. It was the handcrafted brooch she had made in during the short final three hours given to her today.

She stared at the brooch for a while before closing the jewelry box and placing it into her handbag. “I’ll take it then. Thanks, Chief Sheng.”

The design completed today was considered a breakthrough for herself too. The brooch was genuinely worthy of being a keepsake.

Originally, she thought that the item was supposed to be under SL Holdings’ possession. She assumed that she would not be able to take it home, so she had felt rather piteous, but she did not expect Sheng Yu to actually present it to her.

“I hope to see your performance in the semifinals.” Sheng Yu took an intense glance at her before he turned around and left.

Luo Chenxi walked a few steps along the path before someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and she was pulled to the side. Startled, she was about to scream aloud when she heard the male voice trying hard to suppress his rage coming from her side.
