Chapter 1662
Director Dylan looked troubled, “Ms. Antonia, please be patient. You know how artists can be eccentric. Let me try
to persuade Estelle again.”
“Who does she think she is? A mere designer acting all high and mighty!” Antonia fumed, her brows furrowed in
anger. “If she dares to refuse designing my dress, III make sure she can’t survive in J City!”
Director Dylan hastily placated, “Ms. Antonia, Estelle is still young. Don’t take it personal. How about this? I’ll reach
out to Mr. Tucker and try to get another designer from Snowy Studios. We’ll ensure you’re satisfied.
“Are you suggesting I bow down to her?” Antonia gritted her teeth, fuming, “I insist that she designs for me. I want
to see just how stubborn she can be!” Then Antonia huffed and stormed off.
Blythe watched as Director Dylan chased after her, constantly trying to smooth things over. She had a bad feeling
that trouble was brewing!

He poured her a glass of water and gently asked, “Estelle, how’s everything going at the studio?”
Estelle pressed her lips together, “Everything’s fine.”
“That’s good. If there’s anything you need, don’t hesitate to tell me.” Mr. Tucker said with a considerate smile,
“Whatever it is, I’ll make sure it gets taken care of.” Estelle replied, “There’s nothing. Everyone’s been very kind to
me
Mr. Tucker nodded, “I heard Ms. Antonia wants you to design a dress for her stage performance at the school
reunion. Help her out. If you’re not happy with the payment, I’ll top it up. Also, I’ll ask Director Dylan to assign an
additional assistant to you Just focus on Ms. Antonia’s task, and we’ll handle everything else here.” Estelle smiled
slightly, “So that’s why you called me, Mr. Tucker”
Mr. Tucker looked awkward, “Tve had dealings with the Crawley family before and I owe them a favor. Estelle,
consider this as helping me out. Just design the dress for her. You don’t have to worry about anything else”
Estelle’s eyes were soft yet determined. “Mr. Tucker, I’m sorry, but i cant help with this. Honestly, I simply don’t like
Antonia. It has nothing to do with anything else.” Mr. Tucker quickly reassured, “I know Ms. Antonia can be
overbearing She’s the Crawley’s precious daughter, so she’s used to getting her way. You don’t have to interact
with her. Director Dylan can handle the communication”
Estelle remained unmoved, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Tucker, but I won’t take this job.”
Mr. Tucker knew Estelle well. Once she made up her mind, there was no changing it Like when he had tried to
persuade her to play the female lead, she refused without leaving any room for negotiation.
Mr. Tucker sighed, “Estelle, I really had no other choice but to ask you. Even though the Crawleys are in B City, they
have more than enough resources to trouble our small studio.
Estelle understood what Mr. Tucker was implying, “Don’t worry, I won’t put you in a difficult position. I’ll take a break
from the studio for some time. I’ll hand over my tasks to Blythe. We can communicate online for other work.”
Mr. Tucker thought for a moment and said with a serious tone, ‘Estelle, we’ve worked together for a long time now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, I respect your decisions. I don’t want to force you into anything. I just worry that Ms. Antonia might
cause you trouble. Laying low for a while might be a good idea. If she comes looking again, I’ll
handlet”
Estelle stood up, “Alright, then. I’ll go and hand over my work to Blythe
“Okay I’ll come to pick you up personally in a few days. Mr. Tucker said with a worried frown, “Please don’t hold this
against the studio”
“Don’t worry Once I’ve taken up a job, I’ll see it through,” Estelle reassured him with her usual calm demeanor,
“Call me anytime if there’s an issue at the studio” Aight Mr. Tucker walked Estelle out himself.
Once Estelle was out of sight, Mr. Tucker’s assistant came out from the back room, expressing his concem, “Mr.
Tucker, did we offend Estelle? Her status now is not the same as before
Mr Tucker sat on the couch, looking distressed, “What can I do? Besides being a top designer, she also has Firefly
Media Group and the Lamont Group backing her up. We cant afford to offend the Crawleys either When titans clash,
it’s us mortals who suffer! Our project has gone through many ups and downs and a lot of people have invested
their heart and soul into it. How can I not care?”
The assistant was angry. “That Antonia is so annoying! What is she doing here causing trouble!”
