Thorns Grow After Betrayal (Celeste and Chester) novel Chapter 339

Yolande pouted. “Yes, the boss was just lecturing me about it. I’ll have to learn a lot more from you in the future.”

“For design, you can start by practicing your sketches. As for operations, Kismet Collective has a dedicated department for that. They’re excellent, and I only know the basics myself,” Celestine deflected smoothly before changing the subject. “Mr. Kelsey, was there something else you needed me for?”

At her question, Bagehot seemed to suddenly remember something. “Oh, right! Celly, I’ve noticed a lot of brands have been requesting your commercial design work lately, but there’s one exclusive wedding gown collaboration that you haven’t responded to. The client was asking about it this morning, so I went ahead and accepted on your behalf. We’ll have a formal meeting with them on Monday to discuss the design requirements.”

He held out a draft of the contract.

Celestine’s expression darkened, and she didn’t take the contract. “Mr. Kelsey, I have my reservations about the wedding gown project, which is why I haven’t responded. Besides, wasn’t Crystal handling that case?”

Bagehot’s smile faltered for a second before returning. “Crystal is exhausted from the pregnancy, and I want her to get more rest. You need to have faith in your abilities. You’ll do great.”

“That’s right, Celly! You can’t miss such a great opportunity! If the client hadn’t specifically requested you, I’d be green with envy and want to try it myself!” Yolande said with a hint of sourness.

She was, in fact, using a joking tone to voice her true feelings.

Back in France, collaborations of this level were always under her control.

But this time, the client had specifically asked for Celestine!

From the looks of her, she’d probably never even designed a wedding gown before.

A thought flashed through Yolande’s mind. She looked at the contract, a greedy glint in her eyes.

Celestine took the contract, her face unreadable. “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

If Yolande had just asked for it openly and spoken to her properly, she might have given the newcomer a chance.

But with an attitude like that, giving her the opportunity would be a complete waste.

By the time she left work, it was pouring rain.

As Celestine waited for her ride, she saw that the queue for online orders had already surpassed one hundred.

She sighed wearily.

Her hand needed to heal faster.

Buying a new car also had to become a priority.
