Chapter 225 – #31. Rest (6)
“I heard you. You said you were proposed to by Jason?”
“Rumors go really fast. Everyone around me knows about the marriage proposal I received two days ago.”
“Because it is such a great thing. A well-known designer and that Jason’s wife! Honestly, I haven’t acknowledged you until now. But now I admit it. Even though you have become a person like me who doesn’t need recognition.”
“I never needed your approval before.”
“Unlucky year.”
Overwhelming sense, touching, genius.
In the meantime, there were many modifiers toward Joanna.
However, all of those modifiers were also talents that were recognized only in their home countries.
Although he is a genius, he seems to lack something by 2%.
Joanna was a promising prospect who did not burst with typical potential.
Then, she returned to her motherland completely changed.
I don’t know what happened, but she was dispatched to another country, and when she returned, she wasn’t the Joanna she used to be.
She shocked people with her unconventional design and shook her heart with her moving design.
She appeared as the best designer, which is hard to be called a rising star anymore.
[Finally bursting with genius! Kudos to fashion designer Joanna!]
[Invest in Joanna. Rewrite the standard of luxury.]
Starting with her amazement and admiration from fashionistas around the world, Joanna began to make a name for herself in earnest.
When she suddenly left the company she was attending and founded her own brand ‘Anna’ under her own name, she began to rise further.
She said, in fact, every designer of hers aims to create her own brand.
The key was how Joanna, who created her own brand, would show herself in the future.
Will she be able to incorporate the genius her people admired into her own company?
It was a completely different story for her to design and run a company.
Because of this, many people watched Joanna from behind a seizure.
However, their views soon changed.
Investors who invested a lot of money in her talent appeared.
Jason.
Joanna’s investor was a man named Jason, who is famous for his female pilgrimage, but also for his very good investment sense.
He liked to invest in talented women, and except for special cases, most of the women who received the investment showed success.
[Jason wants designer Joanna this time!]
[Will his genius investment sense work again?]
People’s expectations turned to Joanna again.
It was such a big thing that Jason invested in ‘Joanna’.
Fortunately, Joanna, who did not disappoint his expectations, quickly established herself in the fashion world.
Joanna’s genius design and Jason’s support from a competent president connected them to see the light.
There was no one in the industry who didn’t know Joanna.
Her fashion, which she radiated, became a trend, and became a trend in her fashion world.
“Anyway, don’t talk about a marriage you’re not going to do, as if it’s already over. I have no intention of marrying Jason.”
When Joanna gets her fame, she finally gets people’s recognition.
She received an unexpected offer from Jason.
He had proposed to her.
‘I’ll have to discuss it beforehand.’
It was an unexpected marriage proposal because they were two people who usually drew a line and maintained a clean relationship.
Jason was very wrong, even if he was wrong.
She probably never imagined that there would be a woman in the world who would turn down her own marriage proposal.
It was Jason’s fault that rumors spread so quickly.
‘I had to propose in a public place…’
I’m sorry for him, but he couldn’t accept his marriage proposal.
If she marries Jason, she will be able to get her desired position much faster, but she hopes that her purpose and direction will be another success.
“What? Refuse? Are you serious? Or are you trying to mock me?”
Joanna shook her head at the question of the woman who could not hide her jealousy towards her.
“I think I was deceived, but it’s not a lie. The marriage proposal has already been rejected. Jason said that he would understand and backed off cleanly.”
Jason was a man with good manners.
Although he had been publicly rejected for marriage proposals, he did not resent Joanna.
If Joanna had not known a man named Jin Hae-sol, she might not have rejected his marriage proposal.
He wasn’t that bad of a guy.
But Joanna said she couldn’t accept another man.
Because her muse was alive and breathing in another country.
‘… Miss you.’
Joanna still misses him and is inspired.
The genius that fashionistas were astonished at was all made from him.
She wouldn’t be the Joanna she is today without the moments she had with him.
Therefore, she had to be Jin Hae-sol.
‘I’m waiting for you. I’ll go up to a higher place and confidently pick you up.’
It’s still not enough.
It was because Jin Hae-sol was growing as much as she was growing.
That’s why she didn’t have enough of her current position to appear proudly in front of him.
With her goal of reaching the top of her steep ascent as she was making her way up the hill, the shelter couldn’t stop her.
“Are you crazy? This is the man who proposed to you, Jason.”
“I know you are a great man.”
His face is handsome, his ability is great, and his personality is well-mannered and neat.
Is he all there is?
He is a man who has fathered 14 children with only 3 wives.
Having many children means that a man has great energy!
To women, Jason was no different from a prince from a children’s book.
“You’re out of your mind because you’re blessed.”
The woman’s face contorted.
Joanna tilted her head wondering if it was that much of a shock that I had turned down the marriage proposal, then said she had something on her mind.
“Ah… Come to think of it, did you like Jason?”
“!!”
As if you knew how, the woman’s eyes shook violently.
When it was revealed that Joanna had received an investment from Jason, she was a woman who appeared in front of her like today and showed all kinds of sarcasm and restraint.
She was a woman who hated Joanna to the extent that she said that she only recognized her now that she had succeeded her brand ‘Anna’.
Her Joanna received her marriage proposal from the man she liked.
Her outfit is about to explode just by that, and she has no choice but to feel bad to say that she has mercilessly rejected that precious proposal.
‘Even if I think about it, he can’t help but hate me.’
But it doesn’t matter.
While I hated it anyway, there was nothing very special about changing now.
“No!! I-I don’t like it anymore?!”
“I don’t know if I should apologize for this, but I’m sorry. From your point of view, I don’t think I’ll be lucky. But isn’t it better than accepting my marriage proposal?”
“I said no!! You are not lucky at all!”
The woman jumps up at Joanna’s words that she understands that I’m too good to be lucky on your part.
The woman was distraught enough to hear a grinding sound.
Nevertheless, Joanna was calm.
The low feelings that woman would have had no effect on Joanna.
“Joanna the designer! Congratulation. You said you were getting married?”
“Yes?”
“Congratulations on your marriage. Jason is a really nice guy.”
“No.”
“Jason snatched a nice girl. Congratulations. Miss Joanna.”
“I’m not getting married!”
Even arguing with a woman for a while.
All the people who gathered around her heard the rumors and came to congratulate her on her marriage.
Joanna couldn’t understand why she went right into her marriage when she was proposed to.
Everyone didn’t seem to think she would turn down Jason’s marriage proposal.
“I don’t know why you misunderstand that.”
“Since she has been proposed to, isn’t it of course a marriage? Are you thinking of getting engaged? These days, it’s not a trend to get engaged. Well, I’m not saying engagements are bad.”
“We didn’t notice. Usually we get engaged and then we get married when we have kids.”
“Ah~ Then, what if Joanna is like that too?”
In the case of such an engagement, it was not a good thing for the woman because if the woman did not become pregnant, the marriage would be nothing.
As people’s voices grew cautious, Joanna opened her mouth, frowning.
No, she tried to open it, but the woman next to her barged in and interrupted her.
“An engagement, what? It’s not like that. Hey, he turned down the marriage proposal he got from Jason.”
“Yes?”
“Eh? No, why?”
“Ha ha, are you kidding?”
She didn’t even reject it, but the woman exclaimed in a fit of spirit.
“Yes? Are you crazy? But I don’t think he’ll be satisfied with Jason. She might even be wearing a bigger man. Poor naive Jason has been taken advantage of.”
It was a situation where common sense did not make sense of rejecting ‘Jason’, so she thought that Joanna might have another man, more likely than she thought.
All eyes fall on Joanna.
The woman was a lie that Joanna hoped would add up to her scandal, but she was lucky to have a sharp pinch of truth.
Of course, since she had ‘separated’ from Jin Hae-sol since she left here, it is true that she is officially her solo.
Even if her heart says otherwise.
“Jason and I weren’t like that from the beginning. I received the investment because I saw my talent and concluded that it was worth investing in, not because of a personal relationship. Honestly, I don’t know why I have to excuse this. It is a matter between the parties.”
“Did you really turn down Jason’s marriage proposal for no reason? You want us to believe that?”
Joanna let out a small sigh as she looked at her malevolent woman.
She plays tricks that don’t necessarily turn out that way.
That doesn’t mean it’s going to hurt her too much though.
“I have no idea why I have to trust you. Still, I think you guys are curious, so I’ll answer. I agree that Jason is a good guy. But that can’t be a reason to love Jason. And now I want to focus more on my work. I’m having a lot of fun with the business. If I had a family, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to focus on my work like now.”
“There is definitely something like that.”
“Once you fall for a man, there is no answer.”
“If you have a great man like Jason by your side and tell you to focus on your work, you will never be able to do it.”
Everyone shook their heads, saying that there was no way Jason was flirting with them, and there was no way they could get their hands on it.
Some of the women’s faces turned red as if they were imagining something.
“It’s really great. A normal woman would never have turned down Jason.”
“It’s the main book, but even if it were me, I wouldn’t have refused. Rather than the feeling of love, I can see the benefits that will come in front of me right away.”
People around her began to like Joanna’s determined answer.
Her brand gained credibility thanks to Joanna, who said she wanted to focus on her business and not be swayed by men.
“Let me know if you need any investment. I want to wear one too.”
Again the woman twisted her face as the situation turned in Joanna’s favor.
Joanna glanced at her woman as she took her people leisurely.
She was just a nuisance fly, and she didn’t bother me too much, so I left it alone, but it seemed like it would be better for her to be put away neatly for later.
‘I have to tell Jason.’
Any Jason she knows would not stand still when she asked to get rid of a woman who was a danger to her ‘business’.
It was because she knew that the reason Jason proposed to her was not because of her love, but because of her calculation that being with her would have a positive impact on her business.
Joanna and Jason were perfect “Business partners” For each other.
“Joanna!”
“Jason!”
“It’s Jason!”
Malevolent malevolent-
People’s eyes are pouring.
Jason was walking confidently toward him, not paying attention to people’s gazes.
He is like the person who used to smile brightly in a crowd of people.
‘Maybe Jason could have been my muse. But he’s not that guy either. No, all the men in the world can’t. The only man next to me is Jin Hae-sol.’
He knew the best man, but he couldn’t be satisfied with a man less than him.
Joanna put a mask on her face in her familiar way and greeted Jason.
“Hi, Jason. You did great today.”
“You are still beautiful today.”
Jason was wearing a white suit.
Jason’s attractive beauty met with a white suit and bloomed splendidly.
All the girls nearby were infatuated with Jason and couldn’t get out of it.
It was obvious that she had been put on makeup and decorated with great care.
“Who are you dressing up like that to show off?”
“Of course you are. I was hoping that if I showed you what a great man I am, people would feel sorry for me.”
Unfortunately, Jason made a mistake once again.
It wouldn’t be bad to be courteous in a formal setting, but…
“Sorry. I can’t speak empty words.”
“… Because she is a very cold woman. You’re the first woman to humiliate me like this. Congratulations.”
“That’s something I’m not really interested in either.”
“…”
Jason glared at her with her stinging gaze as if she was really too much.
Normally, when she made jokes like this, he would accept her courtesy, but since he proposed to her, he couldn’t show her a gap.
Joanna deftly deflected his glare with a shrug of her shoulders.
“Your marriage proposal was rejected, but you are still a good business partner, right?”
“Of course. As long as you don’t say that you’re going to get angry and withdraw your investment money.”
“A ball is a ball, and life is a life, so there is no such thing.”
“Ah! This person wants to invest in the company. You must be very impressed that I turned down your proposal.”
“… That is also very surprising. Did you mean that, Madame?”
“When Joanna said she turned down Mr. Jason’s marriage proposal to focus on her work, she naturally wanted to invest. Of course, that would have been bad for you.”
“Haha, today is a very embarrassing day for my face.”
She pretended to be ashamed of her marriage proposal being turned down, but Jason’s feelings would be different.
She’s probably delighted that she’s not even married, but she’s produced similar results to being married.
In fact, he secretly gave a thumbs up at Joanna.
Joanna pretended not to see the thumb and turned her head away.
From her point of view, there was nothing wrong with her as long as she could pick up Haesol faster.
Jason was taking advantage of the people who expressed their intention to invest skillfully.
It was the best news for her brand ‘Anna’.
