“Hello Miss Eliss, my name is Irina, the fashion designer you designated. May I ask, what can I do for you?”
Vanessa was startled and looked at Irina's calm expression with some astonishment. Her delicate eyes were sharp as she stared at Irina, thinking to herself how Irina could stay calm after meeting with her abruptly.
Vanessa had thought that immediately Irina saw her, she'd start throwing a tantrum just like she always did in the past.
However.....
“The former Mrs Willer turned out to be my fashion designer, not bad. However, Do you know what I want you to design for? Aaron and I are getting married, and the date was chosen specially by me, 27th of June, can you believe it? ”
“May I ask if Miss Eliss has any special requirements for the wedding dress this time? Or should I design it according to my preference” Irina ignored her words and asked a professional question.
Vanessa's expression changed drastically. She chose this fashion design company because she wanted to buy a wedding dress for her wedding with Aaron which was fast approaching. However, she did not expect that when she was flipping through the magazine, she would accidentally see the name she loathed the most “Irina Eliss”
So she immediately chose Irina to be her designated fashion designer. She had always been looking forward to seeing how infuriated Irina would be when she saw her living a good and wealthy life, but what she had been expecting for so many days was only a calm but collected expression.
Vanessa had intentionally bragged about her supposed engagement with Aaron and their fast-approaching wedding, which was held on the 27th of June, The same day Irina and Aaron had gotten married in the past.
Yet Irina never lost her cool.
“Irina, don't you want to talk about the past with me, how have you been?”
“Miss Eliss, if you are truly curious about my private life, then leave! If you want me to work for you, please make your request”
Although Irina hated this woman to a certain extent wanting to force Vanessa into hell for her kids, she could endure anything that she could never have endured in the past.
Vanessa's gaze vigilantly sized her up. She saw that Irina's face was fair and lustrous, and that blue suit worn on her made her look attractive, giving off a sense of shrewdness.
What made Vanessa even more unhappy was how Irina could become the chief designer.
She once had a talent for sketching, but that was only at an amateur level. Unexpectedly, after six years, she had become extremely talented.
No, things shouldn't be going this way. She hoped that Irina would be in a state of despair and incompetence for the rest of her life. She deserved to live at the bottom of society!
Seeing that she was not willing to talk, Vanessa could only stand up and say, “You'll only be given three days to come up with a satisfactory design and hand the manuscript over to me. If you can't hand it over, then don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship and complaining to your boss” After she finished speaking, with a face full of haughtiness, she walked to the entrance. Just as she was about to reach, she turned her head and raised her eyebrows proudly "Irina, This is my territory. If you want to continue working here, it wouldn't be that easy."
Meanwhile, outside the window of the conference room, a pair of black gem-like eyes stared at the scene that unfolded inside; there was a clear trace of anger in those eyes.
That woman dared to bully Mommy!
Irina clenched her fists. Vanessa's threat had indeed provoked her, but she would let her down once again.
Her expression remained unchanged, calm, and unafraid.
Seeing that Irina was not scared at all by her threat, Vanessa's face turned ugly “Irina, I am very happy with Aaron. I'm warning you, you are not allowed to appear in front of him. He doesn't want to see your disgusting face!”
The corner of Irina's lips raised slightly, she turned towards Vanessa and said “I don't have spare time for him”
When Vanessa saw that these words could not ignite Irina, she felt a little strange. Did this woman lose her memories? Did she forget what happened six years ago?
Otherwise, if she heard these words, she would be furious!
“Miss Eliss, Farewell” After Irina finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out first.
Irina didn't return to her office immediately but to the washroom. Because her eyes were a little sore, her emotions were churning. She didn't want to show her children this face, so she had to pull herself together before going out.
However, what she did not know was that behind her, the adorable little girl was looking at her figure with a pained expression and her little fists clenched tightly beside her.
That means the old woman bullied Mommy; Mommy must be angry!
Vanessa left with the company of a few assistants.
Irina walked over from the direction of the washroom and suddenly saw that her daughter was standing in the corridor. She was shocked, and immediately, a soft smile tainted her lips. “Aleena, why did you come here?”
The little girl looked at her mommy with her large, black gem-like eyes, and upon seeing her mommy's red-rimmed eyeballs, she reached out and hugged her with her small arms. “Mommy!”
“What's wrong, baby?”
Right now, she was still young, so she could not protect Mommy from being bullied by bad people. If only their father was here, everything would've been better.
“Mommy, if daddy was here, you wouldn't have to work so hard and put up with that mean old lady! ”
Irina was shocked, why did Aleena suddenly have such a thought...
“Mommy likes this job; I don't think it's hard work at all!” Irina smiled.
However, Aleena heard their talk just now. The fact that the rich old lady bullied mommy, made her so angry and hateful.
“But if only you had our father by your side, he'd protect you”
Irina stroked her daughter's little head, pursed her lips, and smiled, “Alright, Didn't I already tell you that your father is engaged to someone else; he is now another person's property, and I told you to respect that no matter what, okay?”
“Mommy, I heard it's popular to have a foster father now. just wait; I'll go and get someone to back you up another day,” Aleena hugged Irina's waist and said.
After Irina heard this, she burst into laughter. She looked at the little kid and said, “There's no need, mommy doesn't need you to recognize any godfather! Mommy is capable of protecting you both!”
Aleena pursed her lips as if she hadn't given up on what she had thought about just a few seconds ago.
