Chapter 222
Catherine's POV
"Ms. Carroll, what makes you think I can help you?" I was a little helpless.
"Of course, you can. You will becMrs. Chavez soon. And Leo brought all his stars to the launch this tto support you. It means that he thinks of you as family. Does he dare to disobey you?" Roxanne immediately explained confidently.
Well, she thought the whole thing through. I found it hard to turn her down bluntly.
Since I could tell that she was very serious about this.
"Ms. Carroll, Blake and I aren't married yet, so I'm not Leo's family for now. I may not be able to help you. I'm sorry." I politely declined.
"Ms. Wyatt, you are too modest. You can just tellthat you don't want to help me. In fact, I know I'm pushing my luck. It's just that I like him so much. I have the feeling. He is the one! Of course, I know. I fell in one-sided love with him. And he is way out of my league. Why would he like me? After all, he is surrounded by so many pretty girls every day." Roxanne said with a deep sense of loss and inferiority.
I felt somehow pitiful when I looked at her.
I suddenly had the urge to help her.
What if after the meal, Leo fell for her?
"Ms. Wyatt..."
While I was lost in thought, Roxanne called out tosoftly. She asked, "What are you thinking?"
Only then did I realize that I had been spacing out too long, and I had neglected her. I quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Nothing. I was just thinking that I might be able to help you."
"Really? Ms. Wyatt, are you serious? Thanks! Thank you so much!" Roxanne was so excited that she started crying on the spot.
"Stop crying. It's just a meal. Is it worth being so worked up about?" I quickly comforted her. She was so emotional.
"It's not like that. You have no idea how much this meal means to me. Ms. Wyatt, thank you for helping me. I mean it. I will return the favor once I have the chance!" Roxanne felt so thrilled and grateful.
Her strong reaction suddenly madehave a bad feeling. Had I just gotten myself into trouble?
I could only force a smile and say, "Ms. Carroll, do you mind if I join you?"
"Of course not. Ms. Wyatt, you helpedbig time. It's only right that I treat you to a meal!" Roxanne said happily.
Only then did I feel a little more at ease. I figured that nothing could go south as long as I was there as well.
I was quite imaginative. Swomen had no boundaries. To get the man they wanted, sof them would do anything, such as getting drunk and looking for a slot or simply drugging the man.
"Alright then. Giveyour number. I'll give you a call as long as I have everything set up." I immediately smiled.

After I took the card, I saw Roxanne pick up the contract beside her. "Is this the contract? Ms. Wyatt, I'll sign it now. Don't worry. I won't break my promise. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't help me. Just the thought of working with Leo's friends makeshappy."
"Ms. Carroll, you look very well off. I'm sure your parents dote on you." I becgossipy and asked.
Roxanne nodded. "Yes, because I'm their only daughter, and my family is indeed rich. Relax. I have enough money to pay you!"
"I'm glad to hear that. Thank you for your support. I hope we can cooperate happily!" I happily extended my hand toward her.
After I saw off Roxanne, I sat on the sofa with mixed feelings and drank water with a glass in my hand.
These design drafts were a piece of cake for me.
When I was inspired, I could cup with a dozen pieces a day.
Finally, I met my third client.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe person didn't let go of my hand after I finished speaking. I broke free quickly. The person chuckled and let go.
I quickly pointed to the sofa opposite me. "Have a seat, please."
The person said right after sitting down, "Hello. I'm a musician. I hope I didn't startle you."
I quickly shook my head. "No. I don't find your outfit weird. It suits your temperament!"
"I'm glad to hear that. My nis Alina Gros."
When I heard who she was, my eyes widened. "I seem to have heard of you before. You're a great songwriter! You wrote many catchy songs! I'm so surprised that you are so young and talented!"
"Really? Have you heard the songs I wrote? Do you like them?" Alina was happy.
"I like them very much. You must be rich in inner feelings. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to write so many great songs!" I praised her.
Alina lowered her head and smiled humbly, "Maybe you're right. But I'm certain of one thing. I am a very special person in many aspects. I wonder if you are interested in getting to know me!"
I could not help but be stunned. "Aren't you here to talk toabout cooperation?"
Alina nodded. "Yes. I have a few gigs coming up recently. I want you to helpdesign a few sets of clothes."
I smiled drily. "With all due respect, I don't think you will like my design style. My work is a little feminine, and you obviously like neutral clothes."
"What you're looking at is just one of my sides. I can be feminine if I want. You may not know, but when I walk on the street wearing women's clothes, there are a lot of star scouts coming to me, wanting to strike up a conversation with me," Alina said with a bit of complacency.

"Raally? Hava you haard tha songs I wrota? Do you lika tham?" Alina was happy.
"I lika tham vary much. You must ba rich in innar faalings. Otharwisa, it would ba impossibla for you to writa so many graat songs!" I praisad har.
Alina lowarad har haad and smilad humbly, "Mayba you'ra right. But I'm cartain of ona thing. I am a vary spacial parson in many aspacts. I wondar if you ara intarastad in gatting to know ma!"
