Chapter 729 New Colleague
"Mr. Wesley, are you okay?" J hurriedly apologized to Draco and checked if his hand got
scalded.
Draco waved his hand dismissively and set the ss on the table. "I''m fine, but what about you?
You were so absent-minded just now."
J averted her gaze. "I''m sorry. My mind was elsewhere..."
Draco looked at her kindly. "What''s wrong? Is the stress getting to you?"
J shook her head with a faint smile, but it still seemed that she hadn''te back to her senses
yet. Her eyes were ssy as she said, "No..." What she saw on herptopst night was so weird
that it really scared her.
She clearly didn''t want to talk about it, and Draco didn''t n on forcing her. He trusted that J
was more than capable of dealing with whatever was bothering her.
"By the way, are you free this afternoon? A new colleague ising today."
When it came to work, J''s eyes lit up. "We have a new designer?"
Ever since Rosa left, W Marks only had two assistant designers: J and Elizabeth. It was high
time they got a new designer.
"Well, Dalores isn''t exactly a neer. She used to work here before, and she''sing back now.
You''ll get to meet her this afternoon," Draco exined.
Seeing that J looked fine, Draco didn''t say anything more and went back to his office.

Sure enough,ter that afternoon, Dalores came to the studio.
Female designers were usually slender, but Dalores was on the plumper side. She wasn''t tall either
and had shoulder-length curly hair. She was very approachable and greeted everyone in the studio
warmly, as if they were old acquaintances.
Dalores used to work for W Marks but had left for a while. Now, she was back again. She was an
experienced assistant designer, so she was on the same level as J and Elizabeth.
J briefly introduced herself, whereas Elizabeth didn''t say a word. She didn''t even look at
Dalores.
Finding this strange, J soon realized that everyone had a good rtionship with Dalores except
for Elizabeth.
"Did something happen between you and Dalores?" J asked Elizabeth in private during lunch
time.
Elizabeth fell silent for a while before finally sighing. "No, nothing happened. It''s just that we weren''t
really friends or something. Mr. Wesley had trained her for two years. After that, she felt that she
was capable enough to go out on her own and insisted on leaving W Marks to be an independent
designer. But her work didn''t gain any traction over the past few years, so she asked if she could
come back to work here. The studio was in need of an extra hand, so Mr. Wesley agreed."
J didn''t know if there was more to the story, but she could definitely tell that Elizabeth didn''t like
Dalores very much.
But she figured she''d learn more about what really happened as time went on.
However, a lot of work had piled up in the studio recently. Even with Dalores now present, Draco still
said that he needed one more assistant and then put Dalores and J in charge of the interview.
W Marks was a well-known studio thanks to Draco''s fame. A few days after they announced that
they were hiring, there was a line of interviewees.
J didn''t want to take part in the interview. After all, she didn''t find herself as qualified as
Dalores.
"You''re more than capable to handle this, J.
I believe you''ll be a great help to the new assistant." Draco didn''t give J the chance to refuse.
Smiling crookedly, J thanked Draco for recognizing her, but at the same time, she still felt
uneasy.
The following day, after their lunch break, Dalores came to J''s desk to chat. However, she didn''t
talk to Elizabeth at all.
Elizabeth also ignored her. She kept a straight face and said nothing.
J really wanted to know what had happened between them. Out of curiosity, she asked
Elizabeth again in a low voice, "What happened between you two?"
