NovelEnglishCarly patted the old woman’s hand to comfort her.
“Grandma, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid.”
The old woman moved closer to Carly, feeling uncomfortable. “Miss White, what’s going on here?” Carly looked at Jwith a
frown.
“I thought your stuwas located in a nice place. Why are there so many reporters all of a sudden?”
The main reason Carly had chosen Jas their designer was that her stuwas located in a quiet place, and her
grandmother would not feel uncomfortable.
Her grandmother had moved from the countryside and had not adapted herself to the loud and busy city life yet.
Carly had to persuade her grandmother for a long tbefore she finally agreed to let Carly order a custom-designed birthday
dress for her.
Carly was shocked to see such a scene just when they were arriving at the studio.
Jwas helpless and unprepared to handle the predicament that Clyde put her in because he brought his reporter friends over
unannounced.
If she had known earlier, she would have shut the door on Clyde’s face.
“What kind of style and design are you looking for?”
“Are you here to let Miss White design your clothes? How much are you offering her? Do you know, the price of her last order
was tens of thousands of dollars?”
“What?”
The old woman gasped in shock when she heard the price.
She hurriedly signaled to Carly and said, “Sweetie, | am glad with your kind intention, but don’t spend so much money on me! I
can wear something else. I don’t need such expensive clothes.”
At that moment, Lexi appeared before them with two cups of coffee.
“Ladies, have scoffee first. We can go inside and discuss the design.”
The old woman was already intimidated because of the price the reporters mentioned, so she did not even dare to take the
coffee.
Shaking her head, she refused, “Isn’t this coffee very expensive? We are not thirsty. We don’t need it, thanks.”
Carly felt bad when she saw her grandmother scared.
Holding her grandmother’s hand, she comforted gently, “It’s okay, Grandma. If you don’t want to be here, we can leave.”
She then turned around and left with the old woman without even looking at Janet.
“Miss Reed, it was an accident,”
Carly glanced at her with disappointment and said in a low voice, “Miss White, I only brought my grandma here because I trusted
you. I never thought you would disrespect our agreement.”
Jdidn’t know how to explain and kept pleading, “Miss Reed, it’s not intentional. I did not do this.”
However, Carly only felt that she was making excuses and sneered, “There’s no need for you to say all that. I thought you were
different from those arrogant designers, but I did not think that I could have the wrong idea about you.”
She held her grandmother’s hand and left without looking back.
As Jwatched Carly and her grandmother’s receding figures, she felt aggrieved and angry.
She felt aggrieved because she was misunderstood, and she was angry at Clyde for deciding things on his own without
consulting her.
The reporters didn’t notice Janet’s expression darken.
They kept clicking photos of Carly and her grandmother while flattering Janet.
“Miss White, you are wise to have your own standards for choosing clients. Not everyone deserves your efforts.”
“Yes, that old woman looked so poor. She definitely couldn’t have been able to afford the commission. Fortunately, Miss White
was wise enough not to accept her order.”
“Miss White, the clothes you designed must be elegant and refined, just like the ones designed by Draco Wesley. Poor people
like them are not qualified to wear such outfits.”
Those mean words felt like needles piercing Janet’s heart.
Hannah, the person Jconsidered her own grandmother, was as frugal and simple as Carly’s grandmother. When she
brought Hannah to the big city, Hannah had also been very cautious, fearing that she might be too troublesfor Janet. Hence,
Jwas able to completely understand Carly’s anger and was disgusted by the reporters’ arrogance.
