Silvia raised her eyebrows in curiosity. “Who is it?”
“Rita Williams!”
Silvia pondered for a few seconds. “I don’t know who she is.”
Dulcie replied, “Do you still remember the time when Ada gave Elia’s fake autograph to someone and got exposed?”
“I remember. What does that have to do with this person?”
“She’s the one who exposed Ada on the spot, and she also won third place in the national design competition.”
Silvia nodded. “Oh.”
Dulcie’s eyes were full of disbelief. “Oh? Do you realize that she’ll be able to promote new products for us once she joins the company? Besides, she designs pretty good clothes. She’ll really help the company!”
Silvia signed the document and handed it to Dulcie with a smile. “That’s great. Carry on with your work.”
“This isn’t fun. You’re not excited at all.”
“What’s so exciting about it? MY Corporation will continue to recruit more outstanding designers in the future.”
When Dulcie heard this, she smiled faintly and said, “That’s true. I still remember our dream to make MY Corporation the biggest clothing brand in Ryoln City!”
“We have to work much harder if we want to realize this dream.”
Dulcie nodded. “Alright. That’s it for now. I’ll get back to work.”
“Okay.”
Silvia was about to continue working when her phone rang.
Realizing that it was a call from Ada, she frowned and hung up.
Unexpectedly, Ada remained persistent. She made four continuous calls and even sent her a message. She provoked Silvia by asking if she was too afraid to answer her call.
Silvia’s curiosity was piqued. When Ada called her again, she finally pressed the answer button.
“What is it?”
Her secretary, Ruby Light, walked in. “Miss Pond, this is our last quarterly earnings report.”
“Put it over there. I’ll read it when I have time.”
Ruby nodded. “Oh yeah, we only sold half as many clothes as MY Corporation last season. We’re currently working on several versions of the clothes for next season, but I heard that you’re not happy with them. If we don’t finalize our designs soon, we won’t be able to make it in time for next season.”
“Those design drafts are horrible. I can’t produce trash, can I?” Ada said with a frown.
Ruby pursed her lips. The designs were not the best, but they were not bad either. Ada did not have to insult the designers’ work by calling them trash.
“How would you like to proceed, Ms. Pond?”
“Ask them to design new versions within a week.”
“Miss Pond, they’ll need at least a month. One week is too short. Can’t you give them a little more time?” Ruby said.
Ada glared at her and sounded impatient.
