Chapter 19

Once Stephanie finished, Florence’s expression changed drastically.

Douglas found it unacceptable and argued, “Stop playing tricks. It’s just a bunch of discarded sketches. Even if you draw 100,000 copies, you still can’t

beat Flore!”

you’ll think the same way in the future.”

Stephanie nedded and replied, “I hope you’ll think the same way in the future.”

Douglas said confidently, “Of course.”

Suddenly, something occurred to Stephanie as she uttered, “Oh, right. I hope you can deal with the photos and videos that caused a stir sooner, as well as the scandal of Florence using a vocal double. We don’t want to get blamed on these two reasons if Fantasy Boutique can’t compete with Style Jazz Couture in the future.”

Douglas’ face darkened as he said, “Don’t bother worrying about Fantasy Boutique. It’s so bold of Starlight Design Studio to hire you as an 5-class designer. I bet they’ll have a bad achievement after this. If the top designer, Ms. Star, were to know that your treatment is as well as or even better than

hers, it would be a humiliation to her.”

With a scornful and sarcastic smile, Julianna retorted, “Star appreciates Stephanie very much, so you don’t have to worry about that.” Turning to Stephanie, Julianna asked, “Anything else you need to take?”

Shaking her head, Stephanie replied, “Nope.”

“Let’s go then!” said Julianna with a smile.

The onlookers instantly made way for them, watching them leave.

Glaring furiously at Stephanie’s retreating figure, Florence knew Stephanie mentioned the photos, videos, and the vocal double on purpose, even burning the discarded sketches without leaving her a way to survive her job.

Recalling Lucianna said Stephanie waived her bill at Style Jazz Couture, Florence realized it was not because she relied on Vincent’s power but the fact that she knew Julianna Florence felt angry that Stephanie never mentioned knowing Julianna to her.

Florence cursed inwardly, “Despite her sweet talking, she still kept a trick up her sleeves in the end.” Florence bit her lower lip, tasting blood in her mouth.

Douglas asked, “Flore, what’s wrong?”

On the verge of tears, Florence complained, “Douglas, I feel sorry for you after thinking of Stephie using your uncle’s power to humiliate you.”

Douglas said with a snort, “It won’t be long before she can’t anymore!”

Florence replied sniffingly, “I suspect Stephie had planned everything and already knew our relationship.”

-Douglas turned furious as he said sneeringly, “Stephanie has been targeting us in the past few days, so she probably knew about us and planned everything. I underestimated her before, but it doesn’t matter since she couldn’t trick us anymore. Flore, the new product launch is around the corner. You must show her some colors”

Guilt flashed through Florence’s eyes, but she nodded and said, “I will. Don’t worry, Douglas.” Her mind was racing with plans on how to snag Stephanie’s designs for the product launch.

Meanwhile, when Stephanie and Julianna left the building, a rush of footsteps sounded behind.

Willow turned around and unexpectedly saw Alicia, who had criticized Stephanie in the conference room. She stood before Alicia and asked, “What do you want?!

Chapter 19

Alicia wouldn’t dare to confront Willow head-on after witnessing the other’s physical strength, so she forced a smile and stated, “I just want to talk to Ms.

Saunders.

Willow stepped aside after seeing Julianna approaching them.

Alicia smiled flatteringly and said, “Ms. Saunders, Ms. Hayes is unfamiliar with your design studio and doesn’t have a good partner. I’ve worked with her for a month, so I’m quite familiar with her. Can I be Ms. Hayes’ partner and work in Starlight Design Studio?”

Julianna stared coldly at Alicia and asked smilingly, “You’re a design director?”

Alicia nodded and replied, “I am.”

Julianna retorted snortingly, “Star is Stephanie’s partner. Do you think you’re qualified?”

With Nicia rendered speechless, Stephanie added, “With my arrogance and inability to produce a sketch in a month, Ms. Jekins, it’s better if you don’t degrade yourself to be my partner.”

Feeling at a loss for words, Alicia stamped her feet angrily while seeing them leave.

Stephanie sat in Julianna’s car while Julianna’s assistant sat in Willow’s.

Gripping the steering wheel, Julianna said, “I don’t think Florence will let this matter go.”

Stephanie smiled faintly and replied, “I was worried she wouldn’t make a move. How else can I teach her a lesson?” –

Julianna laughed, uttering, “I truly want to see that jerk Douglas kneel before you and beg for forgiveness with tears. I think your disabled husband can even send him flying after getting agitated.”

Stephanie turned speechless at that.

Starlight Design Studio was a five-floor office building located on Jacaster’s busy road section, in which the first floor was the staff cafeteria, the marketing department on the second floor, the design department on the third, and the production department on the fourth. Lastly, the fifth floor was the high executives’ office.”

Julianna informed all the staff to the conference room and officially introduced Stephanie. Everyone was surprised at the sudden recruitment of an S- class designer, as Starlight Design Studio had only one S-class designer, with Stephanie being the second one.

Some staff were in awe of Stephanie, while others thought she was recruited by relying on connections. Regardless of their thoughts, everyone warmly. welcomed her.

“Stephie, I had prepared this for you,” said Julianna as she took Stephanie to a bright office on the third floor.

In Stephanie’s previous life, Julianna also prepared the same office for her, but Stephanie had never been there. Hence, she swore she would never let her friend down again in this life.

Hugging Julianna, Stephanie uttered, “Thank you, Julian. I’ll put all my effort into working for you.”

Julianna patted Stephanie with a smile, replying, “Thanks.”

Meanwhile, in Fletcher Group’s CEO’s office, Vincent ordered after hearing Zane’s report, saying, “I’ll go to the base myself. Contact the airport now.

Zane nodded and replied, “Understood. Mr. Fletcher, something happened on Mrs. Fletcher’s side.”

After Zane reported everything Willow had mentioned, Vincent narrowed his eyes, pondering smilingly, ‘So, Stephie got something free at Style Jazz Couture the other day because she knew Julianna. Looks like she has hidden connections for knowing such a big shot.”

Zane cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Fletcher, Willow sent me a photo,”

Vincent replied, “Forward it to me.”

Soon, he received the photo but froze his smile when he saw Stephanie and Julianna hugging each other tightly with sweet smiles in the picture. He frowned slightly and wondered, “Aren’t they hugging too tightly?” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“When’s the photo taken?” asked Vincent.

Zane replied confusedly, “Should have been just a moment ago.”

“You can go now,” said Vincent.

Zane replied, “Yes, sir.”

When Zane left and was about to close the door, he saw a gentle smile on Vincent’s face, with his boss whispering Stephanie’s name. He quickly closed the door when Vincent’s cold gaze was suddenly at him.

Vincent video-chatted with Stephanie and asked, “Where are you?”

“I’m at Starlight Design Studio. I’ll be a designer here from m now on. Let me show you my office,” Stephanie said, blinking her eyes.

“Sure,” replied Vincent.

Stephanie showed him every corner of her office, even the cactus on the table.

“Why a barrel cactus?” Vincent asked.

Stephanie answered, “Because I’m too lazy, and I don’t need to water the cactus all the time. But don’t worry, I won’t be lazy to feed you.”

Vincent said satisfyingly, “The office environment is nice, and the decoration style suits you.”

With a nod, Stephanie said, “Julia prepared everything. I’m talking about Julianna Saunders, the CEO of Starlight Design Studio. We’re besties.”

Vincent asked with pursed lips, “Have you known each other for a long time?”

“Yeah. It’s been many years,” said Stephanie. Noticing the man getting upset, Stephanie asked smilingly, “Feeling jealous?”

Vincent responded affirmatively, “Of course not. I won’t get jealous of a woman.”

Stephanie smiled widely and said, “All right. I’ll pretend you’re not.”

Staring at Stephanie, Vincent uttered, “Stephie, I’m going on a business trip for three days and will be back on Saturday.”

“When will you leave? I’ll help you prepare your luggage,” offered Stephanie.

Vincent said, “I have it in my office. Zane will do the preparation. I’m leaving soon.”

Stephanie didn’t expect to get separated from Vincent for a few days soon after getting together and suggested, “Can I go with you?”

Vincent wanted to be with her, but the base was too dangerous to stay, so he replied smilingly, “It’s okay. I’ll return soon.”

Stephanie hummed as a yes and heard Zane’s voice inforining Vincent that the plane was ready.

Vincent looked at her longingly and said, “Stephie, hang up the call.

“I’ll miss you,” said Stephanie with a smile.

Knowing Vincent wouldn’t hang up if she didn’t, she ended the video call after staring deeply at Vincent, as she didn’t want to waste his time. Despite feeling slightly disappointed, she thought she could meet Vincent again in a few days, pondering, ‘We can still make phone and video calls regularly

anyway.

She wasn’t the only one who thought so. Vincent felt the same as he looked at the phone screenshot of Stephanie’s smiling face with a gentle smile.

Zane reminded, “Mr. Fletcher, I’ll excuse myself to pack your things.”

With the smile on him disappearing. Vincent replied coldly, “Go ahead.”

Zane’s mouth twitched as he thought, ‘Mrs. Fletcher is truly something else for making an indifferent man infatuated with her. But Mr. Fletcher treats me so differently from her!”
