Chapter 641
Pushing Her to Julian Sterling (Continued)
At an occasion like that, who knew what might happen.
He didn't know how Claire Bennett would feel when she saw a scene like that, but Ethan Sterling was already starting to look forward to her reaction.
A cold smile curved his lips. He reached out and pulled Ava Bennett tightly into his arms, lowered his head and planted a hard kiss on her cheek, saying, "I didn't expect you to have a little brains after all. You've done me a huge favor, and I definitely won't treat you unfairly."
Ava Bennett was delighted. She wrapped her arms around Ethan Sterling and said, "Ethan, I only hope I can stay by your side. That would be enough for me."
Ethan Sterling didn't refuse. He was just playing around with her anyway. Once he got Claire Bennett, he could just separate from Ava Bennett afterward.
Each of them harbored their own thoughts as they secretly plotted a plan to deal with Julian Sterling and Claire Bennett.
At this moment, Claire Bennett still didn't know that she and Julian Sterling had already become Ethan Sterling's targets. Recently, Claire Bennett had been busy with the new product launch at the store.
Since Asher Bell joined Maison Verne, he still hadn't designed anything up to now.
When it came down to it, design required inspiration. Sometimes, without inspiration, a person could sit there doing nothing for an entire day. Asher Bell felt deeply guilty about this and thought he had let Claire Bennett down.
However, Claire Bennett showed no dissatisfaction at all. Instead, she comforted Asher Bell and told him not to be too nervous. She even gave him three days off so he could go out, look around, and clear his mind.
That way, he might be able to find some inspiration and come up with something new.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
This day was the store's new product launch event. Claire Bennett had to attend the launch event, while Julian Sterling had to go to an investment conference.
Claire Bennett straightened Julian Sterling's tie and said to him, "I'm launching the new products today, so I'm afraid I can't go with you. Drink a little less."
Hearing Claire Bennett's reminder, the corners of Julian Sterling's lips curved upward.
He reached out and wrapped an arm around Claire Bennett's waist, smiling as he said, "At social events, drinking is more or less unavoidable. But don't worry, I'll keep it in moderation. Absolutely nothing will happen."
Hearing Julian Sterling's words, Claire Bennett couldn't help curling her lips into a smile. She trusted Julian Sterling completely. Every man in the world could cheat, but Julian Sterling never would.
He was the most devoted man of all.
Julian Sterling bent down and kissed Claire Bennett on the lips. Then he said goodbye and left, while Claire Bennett also headed to the Maison Verne flagship store to take care of the new product launch.
...
Bennett Jewelry.
Olivia Lawson looked at Ava Bennett and said, "Manager Bennett, the work from the designer we brought back this time is truly stunning."
Ava Bennett looked at the finished sample, satisfaction showing in her eyes.
Olivia Lawson had said she had hired a design prodigy. At first, Ava Bennett had been somewhat dismissive, but she hadn't expected the final result to be this good. She was extremely satisfied.
At last, there was something during this period that made her happy.
Once these new products launched, they would definitely crush Claire Bennett's Maison Verne.
She said, "Hurry up and launch these new products right away. I want to win back all the customers we've lost during this time."
As if thinking of something, Olivia Lawson said, "Manager Bennett, I heard Claire Bennett's flagship store is launching new products today too. Why don't we release ours today as well? Maybe we'll crush Claire Bennett!"
Ava Bennett laughed when she heard that. "Not a bad idea. Let's do it that way!"
After saying that, she glanced at the time. "I'll leave this matter to you. I have to rush off to take care of something important."
With that, Ava Bennett turned and left.
She was going with Ethan Sterling to the investment conference and didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters for now.
At the same time, Claire Bennett was handling the launch arrangements inside the store. Because of the reputation they had built up before, there were still quite a lot of people at today's event, making the Maison Verne store especially lively.
Although Claire Bennett had given Asher Bell time off, Asher Bell still felt bad about it.
He took the initiative to come help, saying that looking around everywhere might also help him find some inspiration. Claire Bennett didn't stop him, which made Asher Bell feel that working at Maison Verne gave him a great deal of freedom.
The two of them were still discussing jewelry design when Molly Lee came running over with an ugly expression on her face and said to Claire Bennett, "Boss, this is bad!"
"What is it?" Claire Bennett looked toward her.
Molly Lee sighed and said, "Bennett Jewelry also launched new products today. I just sneaked over to take a look, and I found the new pieces amazingly stunning and beautiful. I think..."
She took a deep breath and gathered her courage before saying, "I think they're way prettier than our designs this time. And people online are already putting our pieces side by side for comparison. Right now the internet is full of people trashing us."
Claire Bennett's brows knitted tightly together. She hadn't expected Ava Bennett to once again so "coincidentally" clash with her new product launch. If anyone said Ava Bennett hadn't done it on purpose, Claire Bennett wouldn't believe it.
She said in a low voice, "Show me."
