Catherine’s POV
77
“Of course! Leo prioritizes his family’s company naturally. The Design Department of the Chavez Group belongs to the
avez Group. If I ask you to be my designer, the money will cback to the Chavez Group eventually. Leo is very shrewd. Anyway, since he introducedhere, I might as well do him a favor. Ms. Wyatt, go get the contract now. I’ll sign it and pay the deposit right away.” Jessica’s words madefeel wry.
I suddenly grew fond of her. Surprisingly, she saw through the matter, yet she was still willing to accept such a thing.
“Miss Hall, you haven’t toldyet. What is it that you’re going to work with me?” I couldn’t help chuckling,
“You’re a designer, right? You’ll get to decide what I wear in private. You’ll design whatever suits me, and I’ll wear it, whether it looks good or not. I am young and beautiful, so I’ll look good in everything. Even if you givea piece of cloth, and I wrap myself in it, I’ll still be praised.” Jessica’s words made me widen my eyes.
I laughed again. I couldn’t help but praise, “Miss Hall, you are so funny. Actually, if you don’t like my design, we don’t have to sign the contract. I will talk to Leo.”
“Don’t do that! Catherine, givea break. I don’t want to be scolded by him. If I don’t sign the contract with you today, he will scold me. Doa favor, will you?” Jessica immediately showed a pitiful look
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was helpless. “Are you saying that you’re forced into this? What the hell is Leo doing? He’s putting me in a pickle.”
“Catherine, Leo introduces you to me. I’m sure you’re the best. I believe in you. I do! I trust you wholeheartedly. For real!” Jessica was so anxious that her face was a little red.
Seeing how earnest she was, I could only nod and agree, “Fine. I will sign the contract with you. But you’ll be the only one. Go back and tell your boss not to send anyone else here. I’ve already had a big client, and you could be the second one. I promise to work hard for you after we sign.”
Jessica heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that I had agreed. “Alright, I’ll tell him later. He just wanted to help you. He meant well. Don’t blhim.”
“You defend him so firmly. Are you one of his big fans?” I knew how charming Leo was, and I wondered if Jessica had a crush on him.
When Jessica heard my words, she blushed. She hurriedly waved her hands. “No! Catherine, don’t get me wrong. I don’t like my boss. I like mature men. Seriously, I don’t want a rumor like this.”
My smile grew bigger when I heard her talk about her type and her fondness for mature men.
“You’ve set up such a big order. I won’t blabber. Sit tight, and I’ll go prepare the contract now. Wait a second.”
I returned to the office to brief Melinda.
I left the meeting room and went to Melinda’s office. She was waiting forto cover.
“Catherine, Jessica has gone viral recently. Why does she cto you? Is it because of King Blake?” Melinda was curious.
I shook my head. “No. It’s Leo.”
“Well, that makes sense. Catherine, you will soon be the toast here. With two big shots supporting you, you have nothing to worry about!” Melinda smiled.
I smiled bitterly. “Melinda, you have no idea. I think Leo forced Jessica into this. I tried to talk her out, but she wouldn’t agree. Anyway, since she’s here, I might as well take her as my client. But I don’t want to take a favor from
“Well, that makes sense. Catherine, you will soon be the toast here. With two big shots supporting you, you have nothing to worry about!” Melinda smiled.
I smiled bitterly. “Melinda, you have no idea. I think Leo forced Jessica into this. I tried to talk her out, but she
wouldn’t agree. Anyway, since she’s here, I might as well take her as my client. But I don‘t want to take a favor from Leo ever again.”
“Catherine, you’re the first person I’ve seen who complains about having too many clients, But I get it. You‘re caught up.” Melinda could not help but smile.
I smiled, too.
Jessica got the contract and waved at me. “Bye, Catherine. You can design however and whenever you want. No rush.”
After sending Jessica off, I returned to the office and was immediately surrounded by a group of people.
“Catherine, you’re a real catch. Another big star has cto you! I envy you so much.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That’s right. When can I have such a big client? I feel so excited picturing them wearing the clothes I design.”
Looking at the envious eyes of these people, I smiled. “Relax, Gold will always shine. I think your design is also great. In fact, there’s no need to envy me. I’ll get so tied up.”
Somehow, Lorelei knew that Jessica had becmy elient as well.
Lorelei calledat once.
“Catherine, what’s wrong with you? What’s the thing I heard about Jessica? You’re my personal designer. How can you take orders from someone else? Do you think you’re underpaid? I think you’re out of your mind. Are you that desperate for money? How dare you take another client?” Lorelei scoldedwith great dissatisfaction.
I frowned and replied calmly, “Ms. Pope, though I have agreed to be your designer, there is no rule that I can’t have other clients, right? Jessica ctowith great sincerity, and it was inappropriate for me to shut her out. You can rest assured that I will do my job well. As for how many clients I have, well, you can just leave that to me.”
“If it weren’t for me, would you attract a female star like Jessica’s attention? Are you putting on airs now? You’re eaten up with pride. Lettell you something. If you do something that makes me unhappy, I can break the contract at any time. You still want money fromafter that? Wake up!” When Lorelei heard my words, she beceven more arrogant. She was threatening me.
“Of course, I didn’t mean that I would break the contract now. I just hope you won’t be too busy to forget about me.”
I smiled. “Of course not. Don’t worry. Is there anything else? If not, I’ll hang up now.”
I was angry because the company never had any rules about how many clients a designer could have.
Lorelei was way too overbearing.
After I hung up on Lorelei, my phone rang again.
It was a strange number, yet it was very special, because almost all the digits in that number were 7!
