Full of rage, Mandy ran out of Tasha’s house and drove away in her car.
Draco’s expression stayed the same, and he didn’t even bother moving an inch in her direction. He
turned to everyone and exined, “I and Mandy have known each other for a long time. She’s not a
bad person. She just forms biased opinions of others quite easily. I beg you to give her time to calm
down.” They all generously nodded in response.
Elizabeth had been walking in front of Natalie but then turned and saw her staring back in the direction
Mandy had left.
“What are you staring at? Mandy has treated you so badly, yet you’re still worried about her?”
“I’m concerned about her and Draco’s conflict. I wonder how it would affect the project they are working
together on,” Natalie whispered in response, shaking her head as she looked back. “Even though
Mandy is not necessarily a bad person, she has a huge ego. It seems things aren’t over here.”
Everyone headed back to work after lunch at Tasha’s house.
Immediately Natalie got to her desk, she saw the door to Draco’s office wide open.
Natalie watched in silence as Draco entered the office and shut the door. He didn’t step out again after
he entered.
Draco entered the office only to find that half of the files on his table were missing. Mandy was likely
the one who took them.
There was a handwritten note by Mandy on his table as well, to no surprise. She had removed the files
rted to the project they were working together and wrote that she needed to consider some design
details.
Draco’s expression stayed the same. He phoned Mandy multiple times to no response. He phoned
again and this time her phone had been switched off. Mandy was aware how important the cooperation
was to Draco so she was capitalizing on it. Her n was to get him to yield to her by holding the project
in the bnce to pressure him.
Draco had worked many years with only a few having the guts to go against him like this.
He moved over to the water dispenser, and downed a ss of water to calm himself. He then picked
his phone and dialed Mandy’s line again.
He was connected directly to voicemail. Draco’s eyes darkened, and he said, his voice rough, “I’ll have
to cancel Brenna’s order if you keep this up, Mandy.” His harsh voice echoed through the door despite
it being closed.
Natalie was holding her pencil so tight that it snapped without her noticing. She wondered what Draco’s
expression was in his office right now.
It was impossible to knock and interrupt him at that moment.
“Focus on your work and stop looking. Mr. Wesley is really upset right now. Nothing would distract him.”
Elizabeth had worked for Draco the longest among all the designers. She knew him well.
With a frown, Natalie sighed. “Mandy doesn’t think before acting.”
Elizabeth could not help but smile. “Since she arrived, she’s always been trouble. Always reckless.”
She paused and then added jokingly. “Mandy just needs to gain her power back. Unfortunately, Draco
won’t give in. It’d be best if you leave them to their business and focus on your work. Oh and also, are
you done with the design for Hannah?”This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Natalie remembered then that she really wasn’t done with her work. Forcing herself out of her raging
thoughts, she hurriedlypleted the design and sent it to Hannah.
Natalie received a call from Hannah soon after she sent out the fax.
“Is this Natalie?” Hannah asked repeatedly over the phone.
“Yes. Hannah. It’s me. Have you seen the design draft? Can you help me check if I need to change
anything?” Natalie replied with a chuckle.
She treated Hannah much gentler than anyone else. Hannah replied excitedly, “It s beautiful. All the
details are perfect!”
“You must be exaggerating. But since you like it. I won’t edit it anymore,” Natalie said, smiling even
brighter.
However, her brows knitted as she heard many noisesing from Hannah’s side, “Hey. are you with
your neighbor?”
“Yeah. Many of my neighbors have dropped by for a chat since I’m back. They even taught me to y
cards. By the way, I also took in a little girl. She’s such a sweet angel. I will introduce her when you
visit,” Hannah exined quickly.
Natalie finally felt relieved seeing Hannah with so many friends. She said gently, “Well, just have fun.
Call me if you need money.”
Hannah refused stubbornly, “I have savings of my own. It’s enough. Oh, they are urging me to return to
the game. I have to go now.”
Soon after hanging up the phone, Natalie rolled up her sleeves and got ready to return to work. Since
Hannah approved the design, it would be best to deliver the final product to her as soon as possible.
Elizabeth was browsing her socials during her break. When she put down her phone and turned
around, she found that Natalie wasn’t resting at all. Instead, she looked perked up for work.
Suddenly. Elizabeth called out, “Natalie, do you have Facebook or Instagram or anything like that? You
should sign up for an ount. Then, you can publicize your designs and reach a wider audience. That
way, your clients can increase, and your potential clients could also contact you through social media.”
Natalie paused her sketching and replied thoughtfully, “I don’t socialize a lot, so I don’t have anything
like that But I think you are right. I should register an ount and upload my portfolio.”
“That’s great. But since you are set on bing an independent designer, you might as well register
your ount as an official ount of your future studio.”
“You have so many good ideas,” Natalie agreed and started registering.
“I didn’te up with all these ideas. Mandy and the other famous designers are all doing it. Mandy
has already acquired many followers on her studios official ount. She now has more than a hundred
thousand followers.” Elizabeth said in amazement as she browsed through Mandy’s ount.
“I know,” Natalie replied while looking back at Elizabeth’s screen.
She suddenly felt excited at the thought of her future career. She was finally stepping towards realizing
her dream.
