Chapter 402


    "Is that so?" Patrick curled his lips.


    "Yes, what are you smiling at?" Amelia was a little uneasy at his smirk.


    But there were some things she preferred to believe rather than doubt. Otherwise, it would only


    make her sadder than killing her.


    At the Scarlet Clothing Company.


    "Tiffany, I''m not hallucinating, am I? Is that Patrick Hopper walking next to Amelia?"


    Jeremy and Tiffany, who were waiting in the office, still found it hard to believe even when the


    distinguished Patrick was standing right in front of them.


    Compared with Jeremy, Tiffany was a little calmer. Realizing that her fiance was so humble in front


    of Patrick, she secretly pinched the back of his waist out of annoyance, reminding him to behave


    himself!


    Jeremy''s smiling face almost turned into a crying one because of the pinch. But obviously, he


    seemed to have gotten used to Tiffany''s "special treatment" and had developed the ability to restore


    a smile immediately.


    Noting the change in his facial


    expression, Amelia thought Jeremy was not feeling well and asked out of their partnership. "Are you


    alright, Mr. Rnd?"


    In the face of the beautifuldy''s concern, Jeremy decided to pretend to be a tough guy no matter


    how painful it was. "I''m okay."


    After a pause, Jeremy looked at Patrick with his eyes shining. "Mr. Hopper, are you here to do


    business with me?"


    But Patrick said, "I don''t feel easy about Manager Ramsaying here alone, so I came over to


    have a look."


    "Eh? It doesn''t make sense..." Jeremy, who was slow, was about to ask, "Don''t you like Amelia?


    What''s the point ofing with her?"


    Before Jeremy could let out those questions, he was held back by the "special treatment" from


    Tiffany, who was standing beside him!


    Women''s intuition had always been sharp.


    Although Tiffany had no idea what was going on between Amelia and Patrick, it was right not to get


    to the bottom of the matter. Tiffany smiled and said, "Mr. Hopper, you worry too much. The


    Scarlet Clothing Company is not a dangerous ce, and we are not cannibals. It''s very safe for


    Miss Ramsay toe here to work part-time."


    "Good." Patrick couldn''t help but look


    at Tiffany again. This woman was much smarter than Jeremy.


    Jeremy''s father had gotten such a woman as his daughter-inw and employee. Jeremy was such


    a blessed fool.


    After the small talks, Tiffany suggested, "Miss Ramsay, I''ve got four sets of suits for you. Now,


    pleasee to the dressing room with me."


    "Okay." No sooner had Amelia finished that did she heard a bang as someone knocked open the


    door of the office.


    The four inside were all caught off guard.


    After seeing who hade, Tiffany rushed forward and reached out to hold still the thin woman


    storming in. "Valerie, didn''t you just have an operation on your appendix? Why don''t you have a rest


    in the hospital? What are you doing here?"


    Valerie, with a pale face and hollow cheeks, anxiously grabbed Tiffany''s hands with tears in her


    eyes. "Tiffany, I heard from my colleagues that you had gotten someone else to take my ce for


    the cover of our magazines. So I hurried back to thepany! You see, I am fine now. Would you...


    give me another chance and let me do it?" "Well..." Tiffany hesitated.


    The truth was that Valerie was more famous in the fashion industry than Amelia. Besides, Valerie


    was the top model of the Scarlet. Now that she was here asking for another chance while she was


    still ill, it would be too cold-blooded to refuse her.


    If it had happened before today, Tiffany would have dismissed Amelia by some random excuses


    and reinstated Valerie.


    But the problem now was that Amelia had a powerful supporter.


    If they fired Amelia in front of Patrick, wouldn''t it look like they were defying him?


    What should she do? Tiffany was in a dilemma.


    At this time, Jeremy, who had been silent, offered, "How about this? Since we have four sets of


    clothing, we give them two each."


    Tiffany''s eyes lit up before she was troubled again, "But how about the proportion of the cover? How


    do we divide it?"


    Jeremy answered with disdain, "Split in half. Are you terrible at math?"

    Tiffany was at a loss for words.


    Jeremy did not forget to ask for Amelia''s opinion. "Miss Ramsay, would you ept that?"


    Amelia asked, "What about the payment listed on the contract?"


    "It''s the same!" Jeremy said firmly.


    "Okay!" Amelia was overjoyed. Since she could get the same amount of money with a helper taking


    half of her responsibility, she would be a fool to reject the offer.


    Tiffany was silent. She attached more importance to rtionships. Valerie had been working for her


    for years while Amelia was here only for a part-time job.


    To tell the truth, she would never have agreed with the idea of splitting their specially designed


    clothes and magazine cover.


    And surprisingly, Valerie and Tiffany were of the same mind. It would be eptable if Amelia had


    been a famous, experienced model in the industry, but she was just an online celebrity who was


    bing less and less popr. How could she take half of Tiffany''s resources?


    Valerie said, her feelings written on her face, "Mr. Rnd, Tiffany, I have always been the top model


    of the Scarlet. Just because I had an appendix operation, I have to share half of my career with an


    Inte celebrity after Ie back? Don''t you think you''re too unfair to me? Let''s make it clear. You


    could only pick one of us for this shooting!"


    "Valerie!" Tiffany pinched Valerie''s palm, signaling her not to be so stubborn.


    But not only did Valerie refuse to give in, she even grew more presumptuous. "Tiffany, please talk to


    Mr. Rnd for me! Everyone knows that you are the one in charge of the Scarlet. As long as it''s


    your decision, Mr. Rnd will listen to you!"


    The office was not spacious. Besides, Valerie was emotional, and her voice was so loud, Jeremy


    heard all her words. No matter how slow he could be, he was a little angry now.


    Jeremy was totally offended when Valerie imed that Tiffany was the one in charge of the Scarlet.


    He scolded, "Valerie, I am the boss of Scarlet. Thepany does whatever I said! If you have a


    problem with that, the door is open, and you''re free to go!"


    Tiffany guessed that Valerie''s brain might have been removed along with her appendix and said


    with slight disappointment, "Valerie, I''m sorry. I can''t help you this time."


    Valerie gritted her teeth and backed off a little. "Mr. Rnd, I shouldn''t have said that. Please don''t


    take it personally... After all, this magazine will be sold overseas, and I did look forward to it for so


    long."


    Jeremy put on a sullen face and said nothing, ignoring her.


    Valerie had no choice but topromise, "Well then... I''ll follow with your arrangement and work


    with Miss Ramsay!"


    Tiffany let out a sigh of relief, telling herself that it couldn''t have been better, and turned around to


    wink at Jeremy.


    Jeremy coughed and said, "Well, good! Tiffany, please take them to the dressing room and


    distribute the four sets of clothes of ''spring, summer, autumn, and winter'' ording to their


    appearances and temperament."
