Chapter 1662


    Director Dn looked troubled, “Ms. Antonia, please be patient. You know how artists can be entric.


    Let me try to persuade Estelle again.”


    “Who does she think she is? A mere designer acting all high and mighty!” Antonia fumed, her brows


    furrowed in anger. “If she dares to refuse designing my dress, III make sure she can’t survive in J City!”


    Director Dn hastily cated, “Ms. Antonia, Estelle is still young. Don’t take it personal. How about


    this? I’ll reach out to Mr. Tucker and try to get another designer from Snowy Studios. We’ll ensure


    you’re satisfied.


    “Are you suggesting I bow down to her?” Antonia gritted her teeth, fuming, “I insist that she designs for


    me. I want to see just how stubborn she can be!” Then Antonia huffed and stormed off.


    Blythe watched as Director Dn chased after her, constantly trying to smooth things over. She had a


    bad feeling that trouble was brewing!


    Somehow, Antonia managed to pull some strings. By the afternoon, Mr. Tucker had specifically called


    Estelle over. He poured her a ss of water and gently asked, “Estelle, how’s everything going at the


    studio?”


    Estelle pressed her lips together, “Everything’s fine.”


    “That’s good. If there’s anything you need, don’t hesitate to tell me.” Mr. Tucker said with a considerate


    smile, “Whatever it is, I’ll make sure it gets taken care of.” Estelle replied, “There’s nothing. Everyone’s


    been very kind to me


    Mr. Tucker nodded, “I heard Ms. Antonia wants you to design a dress for her stage performance at the


    school reunion. Help her out. If you’re not happy with the payment, I’ll top it up. Also, I’ll ask Director


    Dn to assign an additional assistant to you Just focus on Ms. Antonia’s task, and we’ll handle


    everything else here.” Estelle smiled slightly, “So that’s why you called me, Mr. Tucker”


    Mr. Tucker looked awkward, “Tve had dealings with the Crawley family before and I owe them a favor.


    Estelle, consider this as helping me out. Just design the dress for her. You don’t have to worry about


    anything else”


    Estelle’s eyes were soft yet determined. “Mr. Tucker, I’m sorry, but i cant help with this. Honestly, I


    simply don’t like Antonia. It has nothing to do with anything else.” Mr. Tucker quickly reassured, “I know


    Ms. Antonia can be overbearing She’s the Crawley’s precious daughter, so she’s used to getting her


    way. You don’t have to interact with her. Director Dn can handle themunication”


    Estelle remained unmoved, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Tucker, but I won’t take this job.”


    Mr. Tucker knew Estelle well. Once she made up her mind, there was no changing it Like when he had


    tried to persuade her to y the female lead, she refused without leaving any room for negotiation.


    Mr. Tucker sighed, “Estelle, I really had no other choice but to ask you. Even though the Crawleys are


    in B City, they have more than enough resources to trouble our small studio.


    Estelle understood what Mr. Tucker was implying, “Don’t worry, I won’t put you in a difficult position. I’ll


    take a break from the studio for some time. I’ll hand over my tasks to Blythe. We canmunicate


    online for other work.”


    Mr. Tucker thought for a moment and said with a serious tone, ‘Estelle, we’ve worked together for a


    long time now. Of course, I respect your decisions. I don’t want to force you into anything. I just worry


    that Ms. Antonia might cause you trouble. Laying low for a while might be a good idea. If shees

    Estelle stood up, “Alright, then. I’ll go and hand over my work to Blythe


    “Okay I’lle to pick you up personally in a few days. Mr. Tucker said with a worried frown, “Please


    don’t hold this against the studio”


    “Don’t worry Once I’ve taken up a job, I’ll see it through,” Estelle reassured him with her usual calm


    demeanor, “Call me anytime if there’s an issue at the studio” Aight Mr. Tucker walked Estelle out

    Once Estelle was out of sight, Mr. Tucker’s assistant came out from the back room, expressing his


    concem, “Mr. Tucker, did we offend Estelle? Her status now is not the same as before


    Mr Tucker sat on the couch, looking distressed, “What can I do? Besides being a top designer, she also


    has Firefly Media Group and the Lamont Group backing her up. We cant afford to offend the Crawleys


    either When titans sh, it’s us mortals who suffer! Our project has gone through many ups and downs


    and a lot of people have invested their heart and soul into it. How can I not care?”


    The assistant was angry. “That Antonia is so annoying! What is she doing here causing trouble!”
