Ken refused whatever Pearl said.

"Do you want more, Ken? We can talk about it later. I will agree if reasonable."

​​

"Tylor Inwood is not my destination."

"Do you want to have your own company?" asked Pearl.

Ken knew Pearl was the successor of Tylor Inwood, and it is a great honor to be selected. Generally, few people would miss such a good chance, but he didn't care about it.

"It is none of your business," said Ken coldly.

Pearl was anxious and impatient, asking, "so, what do you want?"

"It is none of your business."

Pearl said, "don't be so mean. You won't have such a good opportunity after you graduate. Although other companies can offer you high salaries, how can you get the opportunity to learn more?"

Pearl didn't know why Ken refused her.

"Tylor Inwood is in trouble now; otherwise, I won't ask for his help. On the contrary, I will seduce him with more benefits, and I believe he could work for us," Pearl thought to herself.

Ken gave Pearl a cold glance and said, "no matter what you said, I won't agree."

"Would you like to be a make-up artist, just like your aunt Margo Fresco? Would you like to serve others? And people will blame you if they are not satisfied with it. You are an ambitious man, aren't you? I don't think you would like to do this," said Pearl.

Catherine was astonished and thought to herself, "Margo is the aunt of Ken. Doesn't she know about it? It is no wonder that Pearl was surprised when she saw the designing draft that Margo showed her. Ken is good at designing," Catherine thought to herself.

"It is none of your business," said Ken coldly.

Ken was always cold to women, either beautiful or cute.

Iris persuaded, "Ken, Pearl is so kind to you. It is a tempting offer. You don't have to refuse it."

Ken didn't want to waste more time. He just went away without saying a word.

"What should we do, Pearl? He refused."

"It doesn't matter. Let me think about it."

"Ken is from a rich family, so he doesn't lack money," said Iris.

Catherine heard the conversation. She started to think about how to persuade Ken to work for her.

Catherine thought to herself, "It truly is a tempting offer, but Ken refused. What does he want?"

"Pearl, you want to get Ken's designs?"

"I saw his designs, and they surprised me. Ken is a talented man."

Ken walked out of the gym and frowned, "don't hide. You followed me all the way."

Catherine had to show her face.

"Why do you follow me?" asked Ken.

"I want to talk to you."

"Is it funny to eavesdrop?"

"Not bad."

Ken turned around and gave her a cold glance, "Don't follow me."

Catherine shrugged, "The road is for everyone. I can walk if I want to."

"Whatever."

Catherine followed Ken. The distance was less than a meter between the two of them.

"Senior Ken, do you know JJ Studio?" asked Catherine.

Ken was silent.

Catherine added, "Have you heard Feather Clothing Corporation?"

Ken kept silent.

"The two companies are clothing companies, but nothing compared to some famous companies, like Tylor Inwood, Monica M, and Sandro. The two companies have to produce cheap and low-quality products due to mismanagement and poor designs."

Ken didn't say a word still.

Catherine continued to introduce the two companies. She only pointed out their drawbacks as if the companies were bankrupt.

"We need an excellent person to help us, but the problem is that few intelligent designers are willing to work for us. They think we can neither afford a high salary nor offer a good platform."

"I wish Feather Clothing Corporation can produce more fashionable and high-quality clothing, but I am not good at designing. Alas, I can do nothing."

Catherine knew what Ken likes and dislikes, so she neither asked Ken to work for her nor seduced him with material benefits.

Catherine said to herself, "Ken is proud. He has the confidence to gain fame and money. The only thing Ken cares about is his personal values. Ken desires to make great success by himself. Pearl is indeed generous, but she doesn't know Ken at all."

"By the way, my father is the founder of Feather Clothing Corporation, and the company has been badly managed since he died four years ago. In these years, the company is in the blink of bankruptcy because of Uncle Lawson," said Catherine.

Ken was listening attentively without saying a word.

"Senior Ken, since you study design too, could you please give me some suggestions when you are free?" asked Catherine.

Catherine took a notebook from her bag and handed it to Ken, "I drew it by myself, but I am not satisfied with its color. Could you give me some suggestions about the color, senior Ken?"

Ken turned to look at Catherine.

Catherine asked with a smile, "If you are busy, you can take it away and give me comments later. Just some comments, senior Ken. Could you?"

Ken thought Catherine had the same aim as Pearl has, but Catherine didn't mention that she wanted to recruit him.

Ken thought to himself, "What does she want?"

"I know I have no talent at all, but I will try my best to learn. I want to make the company great again. So, please, senior Ken. Please give me some suggestions."

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it. But it is a little bit complicated because I am not as smart as you. Actually, you don't have to help me, but I do need your help, senior Ken," said Catherine sincerely.

Ken was touched because of Catherine's attitude. He took the notebook and browsed through it.

Catherine was excited and thought to herself, "He doesn't refuse me. That's good."

"Thank you, senior Ken," said Catherine.

Ken thought to himself, "I disagree, but she acts like I had consented to help her. She is cunning."

"This is my telephone number. You can call me after reading it. I need to go. See you later, senior Ken," said Catherine.

She put the paper in Ken's hand and went away, for fear that he would regret it.
