Gloria glanced through the drafts and was in awe, not expecting Vicky's designs to be so refreshing
and unique.
She only hired Vicky's service because she was recommended by a friend; she never imagined that
Vicky was excelling as a fashion designer.
She suggested a few points for improvement, but not much was to be changed. The discussion ended
