NovelAppChapter 1235 A Quick Deal
“Hello.” The stranger’s voice brought a vague sense of familiarity to Janet, but she couldn’t pin it down to a face.
She replied politely, “Hello, is this Mr. Clyde Lambert, the artist?”
The man on the other end of the line did not expect her response to be so cordial but distant. A wave of disappointment washed
over him. “Yes, it is,” he answered.
It had only been a few months, but Jno longer recognized his voice.
As things turned out, the man on the phone was none other than Clyde Lambert himself, one of Janet’s former pursuers.
“It’s nice to meet you. My nis Janet.”
The change in Clyde’s tone escaped her, and she continued to speak in a polite and professional manner. “If you take a look at
the photos you posted today, the old lady is wearing one of my designs.”
Clyde let out a small sigh. “Yes, I know. What can I do for you?”
On the other side, Jstraightened her back, turning stiff with nervousness. “Here’s the thing. I’m going to start my studio’s
official account on the major social media platforms soon. I’ve seen your work, and I think your photos are amazing. I’d like to
A wide smile broke out on Clyde’s lips.
After a long wait, finally, an opportunity had presented itself.
“It would be my privilege,” he readily agreed. “But I think it would be better for us to discuss this in person.”
With his positive response to Janet’s proposition, she gladly agreed to meet him.
The call ended with Jall smiles. She thought she had secured a promising chance.
She had been anxious about the call, thinking that someone of Clyde’s talent wouldn’t be so easily convinced. Truth be told, his
quick approval surprised her. Jhad psyched herself to negotiate with his terms, but it had turned out to be an unnecessary
worry.
However, her rejoicing was cut short by Elizabeth coming over and patting her on the shoulder.
“A lady is here for you. I had seen her here before, so I let her in.”
Jturned to the direction Elizabeth was pointing to, her eyebrows arching up.
She already anticipated that Vera would cto her one of these days, but she didn’t think it would be so soon.
Jwas well aware she couldn’t keep the fact that she helped Laney escape hidden forever. If the Harding family investigated,
they would find out that she had been involved.
At this time, Vera’s eyes met hers.
Jdidn’t feel the least bit intimidated. She was ready to face the Hardings.
Vera cto a halt a step from her.
Her face was unchanging and impassive, betraying none of her intentions.
But Jknew why she had come.
For a few seconds, two gazes locked in a wordless battle, then Jstood up. With a smile that feigned innocence, she greeted
her guest, “Mrs. Harding, it’s been stsince I last saw you. To what do I owe the pleasure? Do you need a new dress,
perhaps?”
Vera gave her a cold look and nodded.
“Lettake you to the meeting room so we can talk about the style that you want.”
Jmade a motion of welcoming Vera inside.
“I never said I wanted you to design it,” Vera hissed.
Janet’s face darkened, caught by surprise at how Vera embarrassed her in public.
Tension rose between the two, and Elizabeth hastened to mediate. “Well, Ma’am, did you already have a designer in mind? I can
assure you that all designers from W Marks are professionals. They’re great at what they do.”
Vera turned to Elizabeth. With an arrogant air, she said casually, “Do you have a good relationship with her? Then I’ll pick you.”
Her choice left both Jand Elizabeth stunned.
However, W Marks prided itself on its excellent service. Even the most difficult customers left the stusatisfied and pleased.
Elizabeth had her hands tied. She knew she had no choice but to agree. Keeping a polite smile, she led Vera to the meeting
room to discuss her preferences.
