Chapter 55: Bring Her into Contact with Others
As soon as she turned around, she saw Antony coming over with a smile as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know their relationship. Jocelyn was annoyed. In order to avoid being misunderstanding by others, she slightly stepped back.
"It's hard to refuse a friend's invitation. I didn't expect to meet you here, Dr. Warren."
"Well, I seldom met you at such a feast before."
Jocelyn looked at Julia from the corner of her eyes and saw that she was grim and then suddenly she thought of something. She continued. "Does not you know that, even if others don't know that it is impossible for me to come out and join any party in these three years?
Antony was shocked, apparently not expecting that Jocelyn mentioned the embarrassing past herself.
Julia looked relaxed now and arrogant. She complained,
"Antony has no time to notice you. Don't you be ashamed to speak out this kind of thing?"
Being teasing, Jocelyn deliberately pretended to be indifferent and did not say anything.
Looking at that Antony was seemingly guilty and trying to help her, she suddenly said, "Doctor Antony, if you want to talk with Julia, I will not disturb you. I'll go and say hello to Mrs. Ruskin."
The word "disturb" was effective enough to make herself get rid of the embarrassing relationship between them.novelbin
Julia was obviously happy, but thinking that she was just rejected not long ago, she had to pretend to be reluctant and hummed, "Who's going to talk with him?"
Jocelyn wanted to laugh but she still looked indifferent. She just left before Antony could say anything. After walking away, she heard the voice of Julia behind.
"Antony, you haven't contacted me since you left my house last time. Are you avoiding me?"
"
Jocelyn walked around the banquet site and soon found Mrs. Ruskin in the crowd of people. Although it was her friend's Hot Spring Villa that opened for business. But judging from her enthusiastic help, Jocelyn was afraid that she also invested in this villa.
"Jocelyn, come on, come on." Mrs. Ruskin saw Jocelyn at once and waved her over with a smile.
Mrs. Song was surrounded by many businessmen in suits and leather shoes. They were curious to see her coming with a strange woman.
"This is?"
"This is my new friend," Mrs. Ruskin said, holding Jocelyn's hand happily and introducing her to the public, "Jocelyn is a very good jewelry designer." Mrs. Ruskin did not mention the Morrison family, which was out of Jocelyn's expectation.
It was reasonable to introduce the most memorable information about the person when introducing the person to others. And the most characteristic information about her was the identity as the eldest daughter-in-law of Morrison family.
"Jewelry Designer?" A middle-aged man in his forties looked at her and wondered, "Excuse for my bad memory, I've seen most of the good jewelry designers in Yanjing, even for the ones I haven't seen, I know their names. But it seems I've never heard of this one before."
Several men next to him looked at each other in confusion.
Mrs. stared at them with her angry eyes.
"James Robert, have you forgot the design draft I showed you when playing golf in the course three days ago? Didn't you persist in asking the designer's name at that time? You have forgot it now?"
The middle-aged man, who was called James, was stunned when he heard these words, and suddenly remembered something. He realized, "Oh, I remember, you mean that Miss Jocelyn is the designer of that design draft?"
"I don't think you are sincere." said Mrs. Ruskin, raising her chin deliberately to show her arrogance and pulling Jocelyn to leave. "You let my friend lose face, and I'm not willing to introduce her to you."
"Hey, hey, no." James stopped her with a smile, "I am stupid. I'll punish myself by one cup of wine."
The people around were puzzled and discussed the identity of Jocelyn.
James drank one cup of wine and explained to others happily.
"Isn't my mother going to celebrate her eightieth birthday? For half a year, I have been looking for a set of emerald jewelry for my mother at home and abroad, but I haven't found a suitable one. Then, Editor-in-Chief Ruskin showed me a design of jewelry that day. I really like it at a glance. That design is finished by Jocelyn."
The people looked at Jocelyn with their surprised and appreciative eyes.
James was always famous for being hypercritical. Once he customizes one thing, the process of designing, revising and producing could make the craftsmen feel frustrated.
"If Jocelyn is not excellent, will I introduce her to you?" Mrs. Ruskin said proudly, "My friend's keenness in jewelry design is much better than those professional designers you know."
"You are right, you are right."James said delightedly, "I also want to talk to Jocelyn about the design of that set of jewelry in detail."
"You are not so polite to her just now. I can't interfere in this thing." Mrs. Ruskin showed Jocelyn a warning eyes with a slightly derisive look. Although she said, in fact, it was just a joke between friends. After drinking for a while, Mrs. Ruskin introduced Jocelyn seriously to her friends.
The first three men were all well-known bosses who were in different trades in Yanjing. James, who asked Jocelyn to help him customize the jewelry, was engaged in furniture business. Mrs. Ruskin introduced these people to Jocelyn just because she was in harmony with herself, so she took the initiative to bring her into contact with them and pushed her further on the way of jewelry design.
"That's all settled. I'll ask my assistant to send a set of jade to Miss Jocelyn the other day."
"Well, I'll finish it as soon as possible."
After that, Mrs. Ruskin took Jocelyn to walk outside the hot spring villa, introduced the pattern of the villa, and finally found a quiet place to sit down and drink coffee.
"Thank you for the jewelry customization, Mrs. Ruskin."
"Thank me for what?" Mrs. Ruskin smiled and said cheerfully.
"James is a man who pays great attention to details. If he doesn't really like your design, it's no use for me to try my best to help you. Instead, you tell me that you don't want to be a housewife at home. I think it's very good. Women should have their own career. Don't be afraid that it is hard at the beginning. You are talented and we get along well with each other again. And if you need any help in the future, just tell me."
"There are so many talented people, but not everyone can have a friend who can help them.It is necessary to thank you." Jocelyn looked at Mrs. Ruskin gratefully.
The reason for private jewelry customization was that James wanted to prepare a gift for his mother and he asked Mrs. Ruskin help him find a good designer, then, Mrs. Ruskin mentioned that to Jocelyn and asked her to try it. It turned out that James was very satisfied with her design.
After this event, Jocelyn had found more social connections. Most of the persons introduced by Mrs. Ruskin were celebrities and nobles in Yanjing. It would be more convenient to do something later once she knew these people.
