Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love
Chapter 523

Koven closed the notebook. "Lucy, I underestimated you before. Do you know that if you had a good mentor, you would've definitely surpassed me?"

Lucy was pleasantly surprised by Koven's evaluation. He had already praised her highly before, but Lucy thought that he was just saying it to save her from embarrassment. Listening to him now, Lucy realized that he had high expectations for her. Being held in such high regard, Lucy felt uneasy all of a sudden. Flustered, she was beginning to doubt herself. Was she really as capable as Koven said?

"Koven, I just read the books like you asked. Aren't you exaggerating?"

"What? Don't you believe me? Look at what you've highlighted. It's not easy to express understanding of things you've never learned before. When I was first starting out, I didn't have your insight and skills."

Lucy was even more embarrassed now. Was Koven really being sincere? Lucy was still doubtful.

"Y-You're making me shy."

"There's no need to be shy. You must accept these compliments graciously because in the future, you'll be receiving far more praise than I am right now." Koven patted Lucy's shoulder as he genuinely appreciated her talent.

"I barely know how to walk, yet you're asking me to fly!"

"What's so hard about flying? You clearly don't know how talented you are..."

Koven admired talented and hardworking designers like Lucy. He had no intention of suppressing newcomers, so he was determined to help her.

"Lucy, don't let this opportunity go to waste. I'll teach you for free."

"For free?" Lucy wanted to refuse his kind offer.

"But you're teaching me about fashion design. I should still pay you for your efforts, right?"

Koven interrupted her, "I'm doing this of my free will because I don't want your talents to go unnoticed."

Koven cared deeply about Lucy's potential success in the field, even more than Lucy herself. He believed that by providing guidance, Lucy might be able to navigate this path more smoothly with fewer O obstacles.

"Don't refuse me anymore. I'm helping you because I truly believe in your talent, and geniuses like you are not easy to come by."

Lucy and Koven debated for a long time, but no matter what Lucy said, he would not listen. Eventually, they had to set their differences aside.

Thinking that he had successfully

convinced Lucy, Koven clapped his

hands together. "Excellent, it's

settled, then. You can come to my studio next time.

"Whenever the studio has simple tasks to take care of, I'll give you the opportunity to handle them yourself. Be prepared!" "Of course!"

Lucy was eager to get hands-on experience as she did not want to disappoint Koven.

That day, Koven explained to Lucy the history of modern fashion. He also emphasized that his style should not influence hers. Although Lucy had learned a lot from him, she understood that she had to stay true to her own artistic identity
