    Chapter 1269 I Can’t ept The Offer.


    Could it be that hope still lingered? Lexi’s eyes sparkled with excitement.


    “Truly?”


    J responded with a warm, reassuring smile, “I won’t attempt to convince Carly any further.


    I believe she might just take it upon herself to approach me.”


    Envisioning the congenial interaction between Carly and Mandy, Lexi pouted, “Boss, I must say Carly


    and Mandy seem to be getting along splendidly. I doubt she’ll choose anyone else.” J’s grin


    remained.


    “I’m not convinced Mandy can create a dress that will truly satisfy Carly.” J knew Mandy all too


    well.


    Mandy held herself in high regard, only deigning to design clothing for the affluent and influential or the


    most renowned of stars.


    The fact that she epted Carly’s request this time was likely an attempt to irk J.


    With that thought in mind, could Mandy genuinely create a dress that met the client’s desires? J


    had her doubts.


    Yet, Lexi didn’t concur with J’s assessment.


    “Boss, I believe we can’t simply wait idly. To passively anticipate Carly’s initiative is not enough. We


    should attempt to persuade Carly’s grandmother.”


    shing a confident smile, J replied, “Patience, dear. Just wait and see.”


    Witnessing J’s unwavering confidence, Lexi couldn’t help but feel a tinge of confusion and


    curiosity.


    “Boss, you were uncertain just yesterday.


    Why is it that facing a formidablepetitor like Mandy has only bolstered your confidence?”


    J shot Lexi a knowing nce, her smile unwavering, yet she offered no exnation.

    As they conversed, the car came to a gentle halt outside the studio.


    J spotted a familiar face at the entrance.


    “Este?”


    J eximed in surprise.


    “What brings you here?”


    Upon turning around and seeing J, Este’s face lit up with a joyful smile.


    “I heard your studio was open for business, so I brought some friends along to visit and show our


    support.”


    Only then did J notice several others standing beside Este.


    She greeted them with a beaming smile, “Hello, and wee to my studio.”


    They returned J’s warm wee.


    Este grinned, “Aside from paying you a visit, my friends also wish tomission you to design a few


    garments for them.


    Might you have the time?”


    J was taken aback by Este’s unexpected visit and the generous offer.


    She was deeply touched.


    “Thank you, Este.”


    “Oh, there’s no need for thanks.”


    Este brushed off the gratitude with a wave of her hand.


    “Shall we head inside?”


    J eagerly ushered everyone into the reception area and instructed Lexi to prepare coffee.


    Once all was in order, J inquired with anticipation, “What kind of designs are you looking for?”


    One of Este’spanions chimed in, “Truth be told, we initially ced this order with W Marks


    Studio.


    However, upon learning you’d established your own studio, we’d like you to take over the project.”


    J’s surprise was evident.


    “An order from W Marks? Is that…appropriate?” Este nodded, her smile reassuring.


    “You needn’t feel guilty. My friends and I chose W Marks initially because you were the designer there.


    Now that you’re an independent designer, we have no reason to remain with them.”


    Another voice concurred, “Exactly. It was your designs we sought from the start. W Marks Studio hasn’t


    commenced our order yet, so it’s not toote to change designers.” Furrowing her brow, J shook


    her head solemnly.


    “I apologize. But I cannot ept the offer.”
