The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 486 Unable to be Encouraged Howard was right. So what if Emerson was in contact with Vincent? Would Vincent leave any evidence for them to find?
âBy the way, thereâs a small brand owner here who wants to merge with Flower Meadow. Iâll introduce him to you if you think this is a viable partnership. If you donât, Iâll decline his offer.â Howard shifted the topic back to work in the face of Abigailâs silence.
âWhatâs the brand called?â Abigail asked.
âFlormina...â Howard didnât want to say the name as it was too common.
Abigail gave him a puzzled look. âIs that a small brand? Thatâs an insignificant brand. Just focus on Flower Meadow and donât think about expanding. Although weâre selling clothes. worth dozens of dollars, thatâs only because of my reputation as Alana.
That doesnât mean that Flower Meadow has lost its value. So, donât let those insignificant brands get involved with us.â
He nodded repeatedly. âYouâre right.â
âIf you donât know the significance of winning first place in the Lulls Fashion Design Competition, you should look it up,â she retorted before sauntering away.
Initially, Howard intended to help an old acquaintance. Nonetheless, he felt he had been a little too cocky after being struck by such good luck after listening to Abigailâs stern words.
Abigail gave the milk to her assistant, Selena, after returning to L.Moon. âCan the design. interns from Pendorf arrive today?â
âYes. Iâve already informed them about the meeting.â Selena held the milk while replying respectfully.
Just as Abigail was about to head inside her office, she suddenly remembered something and took two steps back to look at Selena. âLet me look at your designs.â
That request made Selena flush crimson. âN-No way.â
âYou will only be able to do odd jobs once those design interns arrive with how youâre slacking. It seems like even I canât encourage you,â Abigail spoke while shaking her head before heading for her office.
âOh, just let me do odd jobs. I donât have any talent... Designing is too hard,â Selena complained bitterly as she followed behind Abigail.
Abigail rubbed her head and turned to look at Selena. âAre you serious about not learning to 111 <
1/3 design clothes?â
âI only want to be your assistant and serve you,â Selena replied with an embarrassed flush. She was Abigailâs biggest fan. So, it was genuinely her greatest wish to be Abigailâs personal assistant.
Abigail couldnât help but sigh inwardly that while she was pushing herself so hard, the assistant she found was in no way helpful.
Regardless, everyone had their aspirations, and being good at serving others was also an accomplishment.
âThat works, too. Once those designers arrive, youâll be responsible for serving me and arranging things. I wonât force you to learn fashion design anymore,â Abigail remarked in exasperation.
âThank you, Miss Quinn. I promise to do my best!â Selena was ecstatic.
The designers arrived that afternoon, and what surprised Abigail was that the two graduates from the previous show didnât show up.
âWhere are the two I mentioned?â Abigail asked Selena.
Selena immediately whispered, âThey said they prefer to stay in the factory for two years and learn to make size charts for clothes.â
Abigail raised a brow in intrigue as making size charts for clothes wasnât a simple thing. The size chart masters at L.Moon were all over thirty years old. They had excellent mathematical skills and were proficient in operating the complex machine dedicated to making size charts. Even Abigail didnât know how to operate the size chart machine and could only look at ready-made size charts..
âThatâs fine, too. When those two come to learn under me later, they will certainly be better. than me,â she replied.
The new designers had different physiques, each either tall, short, plump, or slim.
Abigail requested Selena to serve them drinks and watched them sit down before speaking up, âI asked you all to come here because I hope you can join me in establishing a design. team. You will not only participate in designing new products for Flower Meadow but may also be involved in designing clothing for celebrities.â
There were already several up-and-coming young actresses who had made orders with Abigail. She didnât have enough people around her, which was why she had summoned these designers here. Of course, she had always wanted to establish a design team. Designers with different physiques would design clothes in different styles, which could cater to a wider range of women.
The four designers were thrilled when they heard Abigailâs words. At L..Moon, designers.
O <
2/3 rarely had the opportunity to design clothes for celebrities because everyone tended to specifically request Abigail to design their clothes. Young people all yearn for the entertainment industry. So, when they heard they might have the opportunity to design.
clothes for celebrities, the four designers instantly perked up.
âDo well under me, and you can all switch to becoming exclusive celebrity stylists after making a name for yourselves.â Abigail smiled while encouraging the four designers.
Most mentors feared their apprentices would surpass them, but Abigail hoped that the designers around her would work hard and accomplish something spectacular in their lifetime.
âYes!â The designers were so delighted that their cheeks were flushing.
âThat being said, Iâll naturally be offering all of you a higher salary. Do you want to find a place to live by yourselves, or should I have my assistant bring you to search for one? If you havenât found a place yet, you can stay in a hotel for now,â Abigail offered gently.
âSure.â The designers naturally would obey her arrangements.
Once Abigail was done settling those matters, she went to visit Cameron at the hospital.
She hadnât had time to rest for the whole day.
When she arrived at Cameronâs ward, she could hear Alfie and Cameronâs laughter outside the door.
