Chapter 804 Consulting Dalores
Every single person who ran in the circle of the wealthy women knew about what had happened
between Laney and Garrett, but it was a brand spanking news for people who didn''t form part of this
circle.
When the designers of the studio heard what Dalores said, they exchanged weary nces with
each other. Some of them couldn''t even hide their shock and their jaws dropped to the floor.
All color drained from Laney''s face. She held her dress tightly and stood dead still on the spot, with
aplete and utter loss regarding what she should do.
J felt heartbroken as she looked at Laney who had deliberately lowered her head with shame.
She could not put up with Dalores a second longer!
There was no underlying enmity between Laney and Dalores, but thetter had purposely disclosed
the former''s private information, which was her most protected secret.
"Dalores, it seems that you really don''t have much work to do today. You still have time to gossip,"
J remarked in a snarky tone.
"What? I am not allowed to even speak in the office now?" Dalores was also furious but her eyes fell
instead on the female bodyguard standing alongside J.

The bodyguard took a step forward with a threatening look on her face, so Dalores quite suddenly
lowered her voice.
J tried to keep her anger under wraps, and said, "I wouldn''t dare to try and shut you up. Since
you want to talk, why don''t we discuss work? I have encountered some problems in the design of
this dress, and you obviously have a lot of experience in making dresses. Laney''s dress needs to
be adjusted. Can I discuss it with you in private? "
Dalores was afraid of J and her bodyguard, but when she heard that J wanted to consult
her in private for advice, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Since the bodyguard and the other colleagues wouldn''t be there, it would be fine. If it were just to be
J and Dalores discussing this in private, Dalores felt she had nothing to fear.
Raising her eyebrows, Dalores smiled, "No problem. You really should consult me. You don''t know
many things about design, really."
Laney pulled J aside. She was afraid a conflict would ensue between J and a Dalores and
she would be the cause of it, so she whispered in J''s ear, "I''m fine. You don''t have to argue with
her. It''s not worth it to make a big scene."
Patting the back of Laney''s hand, J gave Laney a propitiatory smile and said, "Don''t worry. I
know exactly what I''m doing. Leave it to me. I''ll handle it with due diligence."
J had been bullied when she was a child.
Laney was the first one who helped her, so naturally she didn''t want to see Laney being bullied,
especially since Laney now couldn''t defend herself and fight back.
Then they walked into the workroom for dress modification.
"Tell me, what do you want to consult me about?" Sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, Dalores
grabbed some snacks from the workroom tabletop and ate them happily. "I''ve seen the design
drawing. There are many ces on the garment that need to be modified. The design shows
inexperience!"
She began to preach in a patronizing manner.
With an expressionless face, J closed the door and locked it behind her.
Hearing the sound of lock clicking, Dalores frowned, puzzled.
However, J didn''t bring anyone in. There were only the two of them here. Dalores wasn''t afraid
at all.
"I am particrly fond of this workroom," she said evenly. Then J turned around and walked
slowly towards Dalores. In a light voice, she said, "There is no closed circuit camera monitoring in
this room. Besides, there are many mannequins. It''s difficult to see what''s going on in the room from
the outside."
While chewing, Dalores nced at J''s slender, rather weak limbs. "It seems that consulting me
is not your real purpose here. You want to stick up for Laney, don''t you? I didn''t say anything wrong.
She married into the Harding family only because she is pregnant."
J was too thin, so Dalores was sure that J wouldn''t be a match for her at all. It seemed that
J was asking for trouble by locking her in.
After wiping the crumbs on her lips, Dalores stood up and smiled, "You can''t protect yourself well
when you leave that burly bodyguard outside. You''d better not get too arrogant in front of me. You
know there isn''t a camera here."
