Chapter 149
Chapter 149 An attendant went forward to inform Anastasia at this moment. “Miss Tillman? Miss Hart is waiting foryou.” “That’s me,” Anastasia acknowledged with a smile and a nod of her head.“Please follow me.” The attendant gestured in invitation. After stepping into the cafe, Anastasia saw Leah and another woman sitting at a table by the windowand chatting at this moment. At a glance, it was obvious to Anastasia that the other woman was just asrich as Leah and dressed to denote equal status. “Ah, the designer is here! Please sit! Bring the coffee,” Leah ordered the attendant. The attendant immediately nodded. Anastasia had only just sat down when a cup of coffee was placedin front of her. Looking over at Leah, she responded, “Thank you for the coffee, Miss Hart.” “You’re welcome. Let’s talk about design, then! I wish to commission an engagement jewelry for myself—something that befits my status. I hope you won’t let me down.”
“Please share your opinions with me. I have several styles for you to choose from.” Anastasia reachedout to retrieve her documents. “Hmph, I’m the client here. What I want is your design. What’s the point in having me choose?” “I still have to know what you like for me to have a direction for the design.” “What I like is something unique, beautiful, and suits my temperament. The rest is up to you. Besides,don’t you know how to research what I like? You can look me up!” Leah lazily reclined against her seatwith an arrogant look on her face. For a few moments, a dumbstruck Anastasia stared at Leah. Now, she finally understood that. Leahhad no wish to give any direction or communicate any idea for the design. What Leah wanted was forher to come up with a design out of thin air that was satisfactory to Leah. “I’m sorry, Miss Hart. I’m afraid I can’t take your commission. Please find another designer!” Anastasiahad no wish to stay any longer. After all, there would be no earning Leah’s money no matter how mucheffort she wasted.
Right as Anastasia took her purse and was about to stand up, the woman next to Leah sneered. “Whatkind of attitude is this? Are all designers from Bourgeois like this? I’m certainly learning something newtoday.” “Don’t you know that I’ve already signed a contract with your company, Anastasia Tillman? If you don’tdesign for me, I can sue your company for breach of contract. I hear they pay quite a bit for that! Threetimes the deposit! And I paid 1 million in deposit,” Leah said smugly behind Anastasia. At that, Anastasia stopped in her tracks. Of course Leah wouldn’t make things so simple. As she turnedback, she proposed, “If you’re willing to have a conversation with me, Miss Hart, we can continue working together.” “We are having a conversation!” “I meant an earnest and sincere one,” she answered coldly. “I’m your client, Anastasia. How can you speak with me in that tone? Aren’t you afraid I’ll file acomplaint about you?” Leah questioned somewhat angrily. Retaking her seat, Anastasia stared into Leah’s haughty eyes. “Of course you have the right to file acomplaint about me. If there’s somewhere I’ve fallen short, you can file as you please; if you only wishto make things difficult for me, then let’s not waste each other’s time any longer.”Leah smiled coldly. “Let me be plain, then. Leave Nigel or Bourgeois. Pick one.” At that, Anastasia couldn’t help being amused. “I’m afraid you’re not the one with the ability to make meleave Bourgeois. My boss is the one.” “Then, I’ll make it impossible for you to stay in the design world.” Leah sneered. “Don’t underestimatewhat I can do.” “Anastasia Tillman, isn’t it?” the woman next to her asked smugly. “We only need to spread the worldfor the entire upper-class client base to keep from hiring you or ever buying your designs.” However, Anastasia was not one to be easily scared. With a smile, she announced, “Breach of contractit is! I’ll have the bill settled for you once I get back to Bourgeois.” “What are you showing off for, Anastasia Tillman? Do you even have the capital to do that? And onemore thing before you leave-We’re going Dutch today, so you can pay for your own coffee!” Leahnovelbin
shouted at her. The undeterred Anastasia stood up and walked toward the counter to ask the attendant, “How muchdoes my coffee cost?”.
