Chapter 177 The Business Rival Across the Street
After the speech, Gianna bowed deeply at the audience beneath the stage, hence winning a round of
applause,
Next, some hostesses led the VIP guests to their respective spots on the stage with Gianna at the
center. Silas and Brian stood beside her to the left and right. Beside them stood Marcus and Landon.
With trays in their hands, the hostesses handed over golden scissors to everyone on stage, and the
ribbon-cutting began The bow on the ribbon fell onto the tray from the ribbon-cutting, at which the
audience applauded, marking the end of the brief ceremony Afterward, Kate and Landon helped to
clean up, and the studio staff busied themselves with greeting the customers Be it attending out of
courtesy or love of fashion, the guests and customers packed the studio, They chatted or tried on
clothes. In general, the atmosphere was good, and business was booming. The hotel was not very far
away. Therefore, Gianna decided to head over at 11 in the morning. With only half an hour left before
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther departure, she decided to sell as many items as possible. Out of her expectations, she heard
someone shouting her name, “Miss Gianna!” Sophia jogged over to her. “We ran out of clothes!”
Gianna frowned in confusion. “What do you mean?” Helpless but proud, Sophia announced, “The 68
pieces we prepared for the opening day were sold out.” Shocked by the good news, Gianna gulped and
checked with her staff again, “Not one left?” Sophia nodded hard. “Yeah. Just now, the stars
themselves ordered around 19 pieces. Some other customers who showed up as fans were waiting for
this exact moment. When you announced the 12% discount, they ordered more for their friends.
Anyway, we’re out of products now.”
Gianna found it hard to believe. Was this someone else’s doing under the table?
“How about this? If the customers are still interested, we’ll leave them our contact. Or you could jot
down their preferred item style and have them wait for a few days while we restock. The 12% discount
still applies.” Smiling, Sophia replied, “Alright. I’ll head in now.”
Gianna beamed at her staff. She had anticipated that her products would sell out, but she did not
expect it to be snatched up in a matter of moments. It felt good to be validated. On the other side,
Kaylee was still fixated on the merriment across the street. She observed the money tree being
delivered and Gianna coolly giving a short speech for the ceremony. She was basically putting herself
under torture. Even though she knew she would feel awful for watching the ceremony, she still decided
to stare on. Time passed when she was staring. At the end of the day, she noticed that Gianna’s studio
was empty and the doors shut, looking deserted as if it was not open for business yet. If not for the
flower baskets at the entrance, Kaylee would have thought so too.
Why was no one in the studio? Kaylee kept staring at her rival across the street until afternoon, but no
one returned. She looked at Sarah. “What does that mean? Are they closed for the day, not taking any
business?” Sarah furrowed her brows in suspicion. “No way. The first day usually sees more
customers. How could they not sell anything on the first day?” After that, she glanced at Kaylee and
suggested, “Miss Kaylee, maybe they are sold out.” “Sold out? That’s impossible! Their studio sells
high fashion. One item is at least worth a hundred thousand or even millions. How do they sell out?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSarah could not find a plausible answer. “Should I go over and peek? I should be able to see
something through their windows.”
At first, Kaylee was reluctant to send Sarah over out of her pride. If she kept her eyes on her rival
without a good reason, it might show that she was unconfident. On the other hand, she was dying to
know what happened to the studio. After some hesitation, she nodded. “Just be careful. You need to
pretend that you’re strolling around.”
Sarah agreed and went out.
Kaylee remained in her studio and perched in front of the windows to observe Gianna’s studio. She
saw Sarah running across the street after looking around, leaning into the windows to peek into that
studio and running back hastily after the inspection. Soon, she heard the door creaking open and
Sarah’s panting. “Miss Kaylee, t-their studio…”
