Even though she had won the championship at the Starlight Jewelry Design Competition before, Catalina’s performance was still
impressive.
“Ms. Griffin’s kindness already made my day, no need to be so polite and bring gifts.”
Benjamin said some polite words, but didn’t refuse Jennifer’s gift.
In this situation, refusing gifts actually makes the gift–giver lose face.
Jennifer didn’t really know the rules of jewelry collectors. Normally, people would bring gifts to a graduation party, but she couldn’t just give Benjamin money. So, she ended up designing and making two cufflinks by hand.
“Such a thoughtful gift!” Benjamin’s eyes lit up when he saw the cufflinks.
Today, there were many people who gave him gifts, and they were all quite expensive. But when he saw these two cufflinks, he knew right away that Jennifer had designed them herself.
“I gotta be honest with you, Ms. Griffin, originally I planned to keep it simple for this graduation banquet. But then I thought, going all out would attract more influential people and make it easier for me to introduce you to them. That’s why it turned out so grand.”
After hearing what Benjamin said, Jennifer was shocked.
Benjamin explained with a smile, “I mainly wanted to make it you this way…”

“Make it up to me?”
“Do you still remember the design you and Catalina gave me at first? I only found out later from the logo on the box. My assistant mixed up your two designs.”
Jennifer was tongue–tied.
“I’m sorry about this, otherwise it should have been you that I recommended at that time.”
“No worries, it’s not Mr. Webb’s fault…”
Jennifer quickly waved her hand, unable to calm down inside.
So, the person who won in the beginning…
Was it really her?
Thinking about Benjamin’s different evaluations of her and Catalina’s works before, Jennifer’s heart was boiling.
At that moment, Peter came over to her and handed her a glass of champagne.
“Happy?”
Jennifer touched her face and couldn’t help but feel the happiness inside her showing on her face.
There’s nothing better than having your own carefully designed work recognized and praised.
“So I told you a few years ago, your design talent is unmatched.”
When Jennifer heard Peter praise her so much again, she smiled knowingly and didn’t underestimate herself anymore.

The party was halfway through when Jennifer was surprised to see Catalina had also shown up.
In the crowd of people dressed up, Catalina, wearing a light pink silk camisole dress, didn’t stand out.

In the end, it was Benjamin who let her in, but his attitude towards her was extremely cold, which left Catalina feeling puzzled.
“Mr. Webb, if I did something to offend–you, I hope you can tell me directly so I can apologize and make it right.”
Fed up with it, Catalina took the initiative to ask Benjamin.
Benjamin actually couldn’t be bothered with Catalina, but since she asked first, he just told her straight up.
“That day, I reviewed and critiqued your and Jennifer’s designs separately. You should have known long ago that I mixed up both of your designs, but you just accepted the preferential treatment that should have belonged to Jennifer.”
“I…”
“Did I say something wrong?”
Catalina had no words.
“If you really want to apologize and make amends, it should be to Jennifer, not me.”

“Young people, you can’t go far by taking shortcuts.”
After being educated by Benjamin, Catalina rolled her eyes in her mind.
The one who messed up the design was Benjamin, not her. Why blame her for it?
