Chapter 192


    “J Lind is a promising and talented designer. We’re about to start our winter collection. Emani, if


    you have any ideas or suggestions, just tell J.” Garrett was grinning as he introduced the two


    ladies, but then he saw that Emani looked a little disgruntled, while J’s attitude seemed a bit


    strange, too.


    “Have you two met before?” Garrett nced at J questioningly.


    He had only done this to separate J from Ethan in order to buy Ethan some time.


    “I just met Miss Gomez in the bathroom earlier,” J answered dryly. She didn’t want things to get


    nasty.

    J had nothing to fear. Emani was the one who started the fight, and J didn’t do anything wrong.


    Still, she didn’t want to make things awkward for Emani since she was a celebrity.


    Emani rolled her eyes and sneered. Earlier, she had worried that J was from some rich and


    powerful family. After all, the Larson Group had invited many important figures tonight.


    So when they had the small scuffle earlier, Emani was scared that she might’ve offended someone she


    shouldn’t have. Now that she knew that J was indeed just an ordinary employee of the design


    department of the Larson Group, she guessed that J must’ve just borrowed the designer dress


    from thepany.


    So she grewcent and threw caution to the wind.


    “Yes. We met earlier. She left a deep impression on me,” Emani said in a voice that oozed with


    sarcasm.


    Garrett raised his eyebrows. He could keenly feel the highly charged atmosphere here. Initially, he had


    nned to leave the twodies to talk after introducing them.


    After all, they were both women so he figured they would find out something inmon.


    But now it seemed that he couldn’t just leave. Emani was an arrogant, self-centered, and domineering


    woman, which left J at a disadvantage.


    “Did something happen between you two?” Garrett asked with a straight face. As he spoke, he plucked


    a ss of champagne from the tray of a waiter passing by.


    Now that Garrett had asked, Emani grew emboldened. “Mr. Harding, I do have some ideas, but your


    designer doesn’t seem to have any manners.”


    “Mr. Harding, that’s not—” J started to protest.


    But Garrett raised his hand to show that he didn’t need any exnation from J. Knowing that


    Emani was just going to speak ill of J, he yed dumb. “J is still young and inexperienced.


    Emani, even you used to be like that before. Now you’re matured and much experienced. Why can’t


    you be more tolerant of our new employee?”


    Emani was infuriated by his words. She pointed at J and said in a shrill voice, “Mr. Harding, you


    don’t know what happened. She wore a dress simr to mine, but your designer had the audacity to


    ask me to change my dress!”


    Emani jutted her chin out arrogantly. She was a popr star now. J was below her. Now that she


    had exined what had happened to Garrett, she thought that he would finally take her side and put


    J in her ce.


    Sipping his champagne, Garrett looked Emani’s dress up and down. “I think the dress you were


    wearing earlier didn’t suit you. You look much better in this one.”


    Emani was dumbfounded. She never expected that she would hear such a thing from Garrett.


    Everyone in the circle knew that Garrett was a smooth operator. He had always been gentle and privy


    to women. While Garrett hadn’t tantly insulted Emani, it was still obvious that he was on J’s


    side.
