Chapter 285 That afternoon, while I was deeply engrossed in sketching designs for our spring collection, a heated argument outside my office broke my concentration.

One voice was unmistakably familiar, and the other wasn't completely from a stranger.

I had barely cracked open the door when I heard Christine's unmistakable retort, "Don't you get it? I said no, we're not taking your business! Designing a dress for you is beneath Jane's talent!" "Hmph!" The other party scoffed, dripping with their usual arrogance. "Well, I'm laying it out here. You'll do it whether you want to or not." Only Dorothy could wield such brazen bullying.

"And what it I refuse?" Christine stood her ground, opening her arms in a gesture of defiance. "Why don't you call the cops? Oh, right, you'll need animal control for that. Don't bother dialing 911 and waste their time.” when it it cto verbal sparing, Christine was undefeatable.

Fuming, Dorothy gritted her teeth, "You sure you won't do it? Fine, then I'll make sure your grand opening today is your closing as well..." I'll do it!" I stepped forward, making my presence known Her forcing this engagement dress commission onwas just another way to squash any lingering feelings I might have for Bryant, and to humiliatein the process.

But I was over it.

In the countless moments of despair and disillusionment, I had thought he was the light in my darkness. I was wrong.

If Dorothy's okay with paying, why should I have any issue with the cash? Besides, she was right. If she chose to be our enemy. Janedream would struggle to survive.

The RF Group wouldn't risk offending a powerful and well-established family for a small fry like us.

Dorothy, donned in a designer outfit, smirked at me, “At least you know what's good for you. Your friend here, not so much!" I offered a small smile, “She just hasn't mastered the art of animal speak to deal with someone like you." It took Dorothy a moment to catch on that I was echoing Christine's earlier insinuation, calling her a dog.

She closed her eyes momentarily, letting out a scomful chuckle, "People like you, born to serve me, can only find joy in petty verbal victories." I clenched my fist Admittedly, one's birth and the allies they find along the way play huge roles in life.

Her luck in being bom into the Myers family, a household whose wealth and power dwarfed that of generations of others, was indeed a boon of its own.

I didn't invite her into my office, choosing to sit down in the shared work area, "So, what kind of dress are you envisioning?"

"I'll have you know my demands aren't easily met. And on the day of my engagement party with Bryant, you must attend, ensuring my dress is flawless...

She was cut off by a phone call, which she answered with a whine, "Mom, you're downstairs already? I'm stuck in this dump of a company.

e You wouldn't believe how rude Jane Webster and her friend are, ganging up on me!" Both Christine and I rolled our eyes in unison, Christine gritted her teeth, saying. "Why would you agree to take her order?"

"To ensure all our hard work doesn't go to waste and to keep Janedream afloat," I replied with a resigned shrug. "Don't worry, once she's married off, she'll probably leave us alone." Chapter 286
