Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 68 She’s a Designer 

Kate was now painting a picture of both of them together. Eric watched her every brushstroke on the surveillance feed, his gaze unwavering. As she painted, he felt something inside him slowly soften, inexplicably warmed by the sight.. 

Kate’s talent ensured the painting was swiftly finished. She admired the figures in the artwork- two people leaning closely with gentle smiles, which mirrored her own sweet smil 

Witnessing Kate’s happiness, Eric couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy himself. 

Her joy seemed to reflect onto him. 

“Oh, my goodness!” 

A startled exclamation suddenly broke the silence. 

Miles widened his eyes and hurried over to Eric, stepping as if on air. He gazed at Eric and exclaimed, “Eric, you can smile! 

“I always thought your face was stuck in a frown and would never show genuine happiness!” 

Miles was brimming with admiration, unknowingly treading into Eric’s sensitive territory. “Let me guess. It’s because of my muse because of Madam, right? You should smile more often.” 

Miles continued animatedly, his words flowing non–stop. 

Eric’s smile faded instantly, replaced by a steely look in his eyes. He stared at Miles quietly, his presence suddenly imposing. 

Miles’s chatter abruptly ceased. He shuddered involuntarily, swallowing the remainder of his words. 

Damn. 

It’s better if Eric smiles more. When he doesn’t, he’s too cold; he’s always emanating a murderous aura that intimidates people. 

Seeing Miles silenced, Eric turned his attention away from him and glanced at Kate on the 

monitor. 

She sat on the couch, giggling happily as she held the tablet and admired the painting she had just completed. 

Eric’s lips curved slightly once more. Miles, sensing Eric’s mood, quickly changed the topic. “Eric, do you remember my suggestion? Let Madam model for our next collaboration! It’ll be a sure hit.” 

Eric’s icy stare held on Miles briefly. Recalling Kate’s capabilities, he replied calmly, “Let’s leave the modeling aside for now. She’s a designer.”

“If she isn’t skilled enough, she may not be ready to collaborate as a designer and might just a model.” 

Eric stared at him coldly. “Her skills suffice.” 

His tone carried a hint of threat, his eyes narrowing with a chilling intensity that made Miles 

uneasy. 

Miles shivered, suddenly understanding. “Got it, got it! I’m sure she’s more than capable, whatever her skill level!” 

Eric made it clear he expected Miles to accept Kate joining the design team. 

Even if Kate was only a figurehead without design expertise, so what? As a top designer, he could certainly mentor her! 

In any case, 

the upcoming collaboration must feature Kate’s touch. 

Though Eric didn’t explicitly state it, Miles sensed it keenly. 

Listening to Miles, Eric’s gaze turned even colder. He watched Miles silently, leaving him to figure it out. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

After all, his muse would surely impress everyone.

whose note straightforwardly identified him. 

She raised an eyebrow and accepted. He promptly flooded her with messages, mostly complimenting her appearance and physique, before getting to the point: He agreed to Kate joining the collaborative project between Davison Group and his company as a designer, contingent on assessing her skills. 

Kate smiled faintly as she read through Miles’s messages. 

She had suggested this collaboration to Eric before, but his response had been ambiguous. Now, with Miles contacting her directly, it was clear Eric had given his approval. 

Instead of replying immediately, Kate switched to her chat with Eric and typed, “Thank you, Honey!” 

At Davison Group’s office, Miles, after persistent efforts, had finally acquired Kate’s contact from Eric. 

He sent her a detailed message but received no immediate response. 

Miles muttered to himself, wondering if Kate had lost interest in the designer role after all. 

As he pondered, Eric’s phone lit up beside him. 

Miles gathered his courage to check the screen, but discomfort washed over him immediately. He gazed at the chat between him and Kate with a pang of bitterness and sighing heavily. 

He experienced a pang of envy once again. It made sense why Kate hadn’t replied promptly–it seemed she was responding to Eric. 

Eric, too, noticed Kate’s message. His icy demeanor softened briefly, only to harden again swiftly. 

He stared at the message for a moment, then replied with a curt ‘Sure. 

Witnessing Eric’s indifference, Miles couldn’t help but protest, “Eric, why are you so cold to women? Is this how you win over the heart of a girl? How did you manage to charm the muse goddess?” 

Miles was exasperated. 

He had been acquainted with Eric for quite some time. When news of Eric’s marriage surfaced, he was surprised and expressed an interest in meeting Eric’s wife, but his request was denied. 

It took three years before Miles finally encountered Kate at a dinner party, and he was immediately captivated.
