Yulia watched me with wide eyes, waiting to see if I was joking or serious, but after a few minutes of silence, she got her answer.
She looked me in the eyes with seriousness and nodded her head, "Very well. Let's design something that will start a trend!"
"Yes, perfect!" I smiled, seeing that she finally agreed.
Yulia picked up my references again to look them over carefully, even flipping the papers over.
"Oh, what's this?" she asked.
I looked over with embarrassment, "Oh, please don't mind that. I sometimes doodle while I think, it's just a small habit."
Instead of putting it aside, she looked at it even closely.
"I think you're on to something here. The sketches are a little rough, but I can see the intent!" she said with seriousness.
I shook my hand, "Oh no, please. It's just some mindless doodles. They don't mean anything."
