My Wife Is An All-Around Expert

Chapter 46
Patrick froze and stared at Skyler in surprise. That wasn’t what he had. expected.
No wonder the two of them seemed so intimate with each other.
Patrick casually opened one of the files, asking, “Why haven’t I heard about this before?”
Skyler smiled bitterly and answered truthfully, “I haven’t contacted any of my acquaintances from university for a long time. This is the first time since Violet and I have seen each other in three years!”
Hearing this, Patrick’s discomfort faded a little.
Patrick thought that he had always been domineering, so naturally, he regarded Violet as his, hence why he was feeling displeased.
After all, she was, lawfully a member of his household.
Patrick sat up, leaned on the back of the office chair, and said seemingly casually, “Since you are acquaintances with her, then you should know her much better than anyone else. Tell me what you know about her!”
Skyler pondered momentarily and spoke calmly, “She is an upstanding person with quite the design talent!”
“How talented?” Patrick raised an eyebrow at him.
Skyler put it bluntly, saying, “She is the most talented amongst all the designers I know!”
Patrick’s pupils dilated slightly, and his tone was unreadable when he said, “I never would have known you have such a high evaluation of her!”
Violet followed everyone downstairs.
She had yet to enter the design department, but the word had spread about her participation in the Century Jewelry Competition..
Though in front of Violet, everyone would try to insinuate something with

a few words, they didn’t dare to say it directly to her face.
Violet didn’t take their words to heart.
However, when someone suddenly mentioned the matter of personalized jewelry customization, everyone immediately began to talk sourly.
“Some people, no matter how good they are, can never be as good as our girl Joanna. At Foreverie Jewelry, Joanna has the most customers who want personalized customization!”
“True! Besides the main design products of our design department every quarter, all that is left is personalized customization. There is a minimum limit to custom orders that can be done every quarter!”
“As for those who only look good on the outside, I don’t suppose many people ask her to design something for them!”
Violet was startled and flipped through the materials to look at the section about custom orders.
There was indeed a minimum limit, which referred to the minimum sum of the price that customers ordered every month.
If someone couldn’t meet the standard every month, their bonus would be deducted. If they couldn’t meet the standard for three consecutive months, they would be fired.
Violet’s eyes flashed, recalling when she was at Oceanen Jewelry. People came to her to ask for custom designs, but Oceanen Jewelry didn’t have the option of custom design, and Russell forbade her from doing that kind of stuff in private.
Now that she had the opportunity, in a few days, she’ll see if she could contact the same people who asked her about custom orders to see if they still needed it.
Violet was thinking about this when she saw Sophia marching over with indignation on her face.
Violet poked Sophia’s cheek and chuckled. “What’s made you unhappy

this time?”
Sophia lowered her voice and spoke cautiously in a voice that only the two of them could hear, saying, “I heard that Joanna didn’t have so many custom-order customers before. When Gloria left some time ago, she left most of her customers to Joanna!”
Violet was startled. She understood what Sophia meant. Gloria most likely recommended Joanna as a new designer to her custom-order clients.
In that case, most customers would give Gloria the benefit of the doubt and give Joanna a chance to help them design a few jewelry pieces.
No wonder Joanna defended Gloria so fiercely!
Violet glanced at Sophia and said with a smile, “It’s okay. As long as we’re good, we don’t need to worry about no customers coming to us to design for them!”
Sophia saw Violet act so calmly and stared at Violet without blinking, and blurted out with sudden curiosity, “Violet, why did you give your designs to Veronica in the past?”
She vividly remembered Violet saying she did so willingly.
Violet smiled, saying, “Before, I wasn’t ambitious about becoming famous. I just wanted to live a mundane life.”
Violet continued, saying, “My ex-boyfriend didn’t want me to become too. famous. He always said that the tallest tree in the forest was the first to be blown down by the wind. I didn’t need to compete with others and become the best. He wanted me to stay at home to become a full-time housewife!”
Sophia knew what the Internet
aid about Violet, and she didn’t feel that Violet deserved this, ranting, “Yet he still got together with Veronica.”
Sophia didn’t finish the rest of her words, but Violet could guess what she
meant.
