Chapter 743: Brenda cast a glance at the proposal, still maintaining that superior attitude. She didn't touch it, letting it rest on the desk as if it didn't matter. Rachel didn't rush her. She stood calmly, knowing Brenda wouldn't ignore it forever.
No matter what Brenda thought of her personally, Rachel knew that Brenda was serious about her work, and she wouldn't let emotions get in the way of business.

It wasn't until five minutes later that Brenda finally reached for the proposal.
Just one look at the cover, and surprise flickered in her eyes. The proposal was polished to perfection.
As she flipped it open, the design style and the sheer quality of the content made her reassess Rachel completely.
The level of detail and creativity stood out, even to someone as seasoned in the industry as Brenda. It was a fresh reminder that design could still be this innovative. There was no question about it-Rachel had a real gift, which was even more impressive considering how new she was to jewelry design. Her talent wasn't just skill-it was something innate, almost instinctive.
But in Brenda's eyes, the more confident a person was, the more they needed to be challenged-especially someone who had landed the job thanks to connections. A little pushback was always necessary. Without hesitation, Brenda pointed out a few areas and offered her own suggestions.

"I appreciate your feedback, but I won't be making those changes." Brenda raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. "And why is that?" "First of all, as the project lead, I have full creative control over my designs. If a suggestion makes sense, I'll take it. But if it doesn't align with my vision, I have the right to reject it. Your ideas are solid, but they don't fit with my overall concept. Changing them would go against my entire design approach, so I have to decline." Brenda frowned, thinking Rachel was making a big deal out of nothing. "It's just a small tweak. How does that go against your whole design? I'd like to hear your reasoning." Rachel laid out the key design pages, her tone steady and assured. “I know you've reviewed these designs, but I'd like you to take another look-specifically at the second page, where I've detailed the design concept. Spend a little more ton that."
Brenda, slightly confused, flipped to the second page.
After years in the industry, especially in jewelry design, Brenda had seen countless design concepts, and most of them were repetitive, lacking any real originality. She often skimmed past that part and focused on the actual designs instead.
