Chapter 2059Looking somewhat embarrassed, Stella explained, "It's nothing much.
Considering the cold weather, and since it hasn't warmed up much even after the holiday, | thought about preparing some warmclothing items, something everyone could wear to keep out the cold.”
Hearing the term "warm clothing," most people thought of hats, scarves, gloves, or knee warmers, causing their interest to wanesignificantly. Those items were typically distributed by the company at the start of winter, making them hardly something to lookforward to.
Considering Stella’s initial comments upon joining, some could not help but see her as a clueless rich heiress, now contendingwith Jaylene and Darcie for control.
Observing the crowd's reaction, Jaylene smirked as she suggested, "Stella, since you've already prepared them, why notdistribute them now? If we wait any longer, they might not be of much use this year."
Julia added, "Whatever Ms. Hall has chosen, even if it's for warmth, it's bound to be extraordinary."Then, the crowd started to speculate what their gifts from Stella were."Ms. Hall's scarf is quite stylish. Could it be that she's prepared something similar for us?"
"If it's Gucci scarves, wow, I'd be ecstatic! Ms. Hall, don't keep US in suspense. Please show US what you've got. We're all soexcited!"
The crowd's comments pushed Stella into the spotlight.
Jaylene was smiling but mocking Stella inwardly at the same time. ‘If Stella's gifts fell short of expectations, it would be asignificant embarrassment for her.’
She had to navigate considerable challenges to secure her position in the Perfume Blending Department, even with Darciesmoothing the way. The employees of Caline were sharp, and it was not easy to win them over without proving oneself.
This was Jaylene's chance to show Stella that status alone would not grant her favor at Caline."So, Stella, just bring them out. Don't keep everyone waiting." Jaylene urged.
Stella bit her lip, hesitating before finally saying, "I'll go down and get them. They're all in my car. | haven't had the chance tobring them up yet."
Jaylene quickly suggested, "Take Xavier and the others with you. It must be a lot to carry. You can't possibly manage it alone."‘| won't allow you any chance to call for backup, Stella.’ Jaylene thought.
“Alright, Jaylene. Just ask them to be careful not to damage anything." Stella conceded.novelbin
Jaylene's smile faltered, still playing the part. "Don't worry. They won't damage anything.”Upon receiving the call, Xavier agreed and asked for a few people to fetch the gifts from Stella's car.Jaylene was momentarily taken aback. 'Did Stella actually prepare the gifts? |
However, she quickly dismissed her surprise. ‘It doesn't matter. Even if Stella had prepared something, it couldn't be impressive.Otherwise, why would she hesitate to present it? She must have been unable to compare her gifts to mine, so she's reluctant todo so.’
During the wait, Stella seemed restless, frequently checking her phone. Her nervousness was evident.
When Xavier and a few others returned, carrying items covered with dust protectors, everyone stood up, curious about thecontents.
Once the items were unveiled, twenty to thirty sets of ready-to-wear fashion from top luxury brands, all in stylish designs, wererevealed. Each set was exceptionally beautiful. Even at a glance, the quality of the materials was top-notch.
