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!
Somehow, Antonia managed to pull some strings. By the afternoon, Mr. Tucker had specifically called
Estelle over. 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 aboutnovelbin
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. Of 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!”
