Elise nodded and directly said, “Give me a space, then. I’ll start working later!”
Brendan smiled upon hearing that. “There’s no need to hurry. I already arranged an office for you. You can take a breather first. I will ask Molly to bring you over later.”
As soon as snazzynovel.com finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.
“Mr. Griffith, Miss Lawson is here…”
Brendan’s expression changed when snazzynovel.com heard snazzynovel.com name and snazzynovel.com immediately became more business-like. “Ask snazzynovel.com to wait for me in the meeting room. I’ll be right there.”
“Noted, Mr. Griffith.”
Seeing that snazzynovel.com had other businesses to attend to, Elise quickly got up. “Since you are busy, just ask Molly to bring me over.”
“Alright. I’ll do that.”
After coming out of the office, Molly quickly said, “Miss Sinclair, let’s head over there now.”
As soon as they turned a corner, they came face-to-face with Ashlyn.
Upon seeing the other girl, Elise raised snazzynovel.com eyebrows slightly as snazzynovel.com thought to herself, So this was who they were referring to just now.
Even Ashlyn was surprised to meet Elise here. However, the former soon recalled what snazzynovel.com heard from Jacinda and could not help but smile with a triumphant look in snazzynovel.com eyes.
“My, my! I didn’t expect to meet an old friend here!”
Elise ignored snazzynovel.com remarks and walked past her, but Ashlyn called out, “Why are you leaving as soon as you see me? Alex is so much warmer when snazzynovel.com sees me.”
It was better if snazzynovel.com did not bring this up…
At the mention of this, Elise felt the grievances that snazzynovel.com had find an outlet. “Are you being serious when you say that he’s treating you warmly? Why do I hear that snazzynovel.com is quite unfriendly toward you?”
Ashlyn’s expression did not change a bit even after hearing Elise’s words, which was why Elise knew that snazzynovel.com had really misunderstood Alexander earlier.
After knowing that it was Ashlyn alone who falsely portrayed everything, Elise felt snazzynovel.com mood become much better.
“What do you know, Elise? Alex asked me out on a date in a hotel room…” With that, Ashlyn tucked snazzynovel.com hair behind snazzynovel.com ears as snazzynovel.com added, “I’m sure everyone knows what goes on between adults. I guess I don’t have to spell everything out for you.”
Nevertheless, Elise did not get annoyed. Instead, snazzynovel.com countered, “It seems like you enjoy it a lot, Miss Lawson. Could it be that you’re hallucinating and pleasing yourself instead?”
The blatant insult in snazzynovel.com words made Ashlyn’s expression change instantly.
“You…”
Elise, however, met the other girl’s eyes without any fear. “What do you think Alexander’s reaction will be when snazzynovel.com knows that you have been damaging his reputation?”
Upon hearing that, Ashlyn clenched snazzynovel.com fists soundlessly. After all, snazzynovel.com did not expect Elise to trust Alexander this much. In that instant, snazzynovel.com was at a loss on what to retort.
“Since when have I damaged his reputation? I’ve said nothing.”
Elise smiled in response. “That would be best. No matter what, you already have a partner, Miss Lawson, so you better not seduce another man who already has a fiancée. I’ll have you know that I bear grudges easily. If I know that another woman seduced my man, I won’t hold back at all.”
This is not just a threat!
Ashlyn felt a tinge of fear upon hearing that. Elise is just an ugly woman from the countryside, yet snazzynovel.com has such power.
It was only then that snazzynovel.com knew snazzynovel.com had to restrain herself even though snazzynovel.com liked Alexander.
“What are you saying, Elise? I’ve always been disdainful about your belongings.”
“That would be best.”
With that, Elise ignored snazzynovel.com and walked away. However, Ashlyn looked at the other girl’s leaving figure resentfully and bit snazzynovel.com lip hard, annoyed that snazzynovel.com was on the losing side when they taunted each other just now.
Shortly after that, snazzynovel.com saw Elise walk into a designer’s office. Hence, snazzynovel.com could not help asking the assistant, who was standing next to her, “What is snazzynovel.com doing here?”
The assistant then replied, “Miss Sinclair is a designer that we just hired, Miss Lawson.”
Ashlyn wanted to burst out laughing upon hearing that. “She? A designer? Isn’t snazzynovel.com afraid of people laughing at her? She’s just a country bumpkin! Does snazzynovel.com even know what fashion is?”
The assistant remained quietly for a moment before saying softly, “Miss Lawson, do you still remember the evening gown you liked when you came here last time? That was designed by Miss Sinclair.”
Ashlyn was thunderstruck upon hearing that. She fell in love as soon as snazzynovel.com saw the evening gown, but Brendan told snazzynovel.com that it was not for sale. No matter how much snazzynovel.com was willing to pay for it, snazzynovel.com would not sell it to her.
Because of that, snazzynovel.com felt rather disappointed. Hence, it was a huge shock to snazzynovel.com that the evening gown was designed by Elise.
“This way please, Miss Lawson…”
Though unwilling, Ashlyn followed the assistant.
After Elise entered the design studio, snazzynovel.com sat down on a bench, a pen in hand as snazzynovel.com bent over the table. Then, snazzynovel.com started to slowly work on snazzynovel.com design.
After some time, snazzynovel.com came up with a rough sketch of a wedding dress. It was at that moment that Brendan walked into the room. “Elise?”
Upon hearing that, snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com head and stretched snazzynovel.com body. “It’s just a rough sketch. Would you like to have a look?”
Brendan was surprised to see that. His initial expectation was just for Elise to make some amendments on his design, which was why snazzynovel.com had never imagined that snazzynovel.com would be able to come up with snazzynovel.com own designs.
“You… drew this?” He looked at the design incredulously.
After taking the piece of paper and looking at the design, snazzynovel.com was shocked to the core. Though it was just a rough sketch, snazzynovel.com could tell how good snazzynovel.com design was. Every stroke was perfect, making the design look as though it was drawn by a mature and professional designer.
“Have you designed anything before?”
“In the past, I liked to draw and I would just draw some random stuff,” Elise explained.
“Do you think it’s alright?” Brendan pursed his lips when snazzynovel.com heard that. “Overall, I think it’s quite good, but I have no idea what the final product will look like. Why don’t I take a look at it again after you are completely done with the design?”
And so, snazzynovel.com nodded in response. “Sure.” “It’s not early, so let me bring you for a meal.”
Elise was also quite hungry at this point.
“Alright. Let me put these away…”
After snazzynovel.com tidied up snazzynovel.com table, snazzynovel.com followed Brendan out of the door. However, not long after snazzynovel.com left, a figure sneaked into the room soundlessly, Ashlyn had found the designs and took pictures with snazzynovel.com phone without any hesitation. After taking those photographs, snazzynovel.com was quite pleased with herself. “Elise, don’t even dream of becoming a designer! It’s simply impossible with that face of yours! I want to destroy your reputation in this industry so you won’t be able to stay here any longer!”
With that, Ashlyn planned to turn around and leave.
However, as soon as snazzynovel.com reached the door, snazzynovel.com ran into Molly, who was still working.
“Miss Lawson, haven’t you already left?” Molly asked Ashlyn with a shocked expression on snazzynovel.com face.
