Chapter 92
Vernon quickly responded to Felix's cold gaze, "No, it's just that there have been substantial transformations at LR Design Studio. Musk's team seems to be more inclined towards MY FASHION now. If you could help, LR Design Studio would be back on track sooner."
After a moment of silence, Felix coldly replied, "I understand. I'll handle it. You can all go back to work."
Once the LR Design Studio team left, Felix called Raymond.
"Felix, what's up?" Raymond asked.
"Has Musk's team's subsidiary recently collaborated with MY FASHION?" Felix asked.
Raymond was surprised by Felix's trivial question and said, "I'll ask the secretary."
Soon, Raymond's voice came through the telephone. "MY FASHION does indeed intend to collaborate with us. If all goes well, the contract will be signed in a few days. What's the purpose of your inquiry?"
"I want you to give this collaboration to LR Design Studio," Felix replied.
Raymond raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "What's in it for us?"
Felix added, "Musk's team can participate in the development of the land in the east of the city."
Raymond was genuinely shocked by his words, his countenance transitioning into gravitas.
"Why are you suddenly concerned about a small subsidiary under the Clinton Group?" Raymond asked.
"I intend to separate LR Design Studio from the Clinton Group," Felix said with an indifferent expression.
"Why?" Raymond got more puzzled.
Felix explained, "Bella wants a design company to start her business."
Raymond furrowed his brow. "Felix, don't you think this is unfair to Gianna? Don't forget, during your difficult past two years, she was by your side, silently supporting you. She accompanied you for three years without gaining anything while you took Bella's casual words to heart."
Felix fell silent for a moment, his voice turning colder. "This is my affair. I want to know if you agree or not."
"I seem to have no reason to disagree," Raymond replied.
"That's it." Felix ended up the call.
Despite hanging up the phone, Raymond's face showed no sign of joy but rather a hint of gloom.
The secretary beside him couldn't understand his mind and whispered, "Mr. Musk, shall we cancel the dinner appointment with the CEO of MY FASHION tomorrow night?"
"Yes. Cancel it and prepare the contract for the collaboration with LR Design Studio." Raymond commanded.
"Alright." The secretary replied and turned to make a call to the staff at MY FASHION.
Raymond picked up the documents and tried to continue reading, but he couldn't focus on the work and felt an indescribable sense of unease.
He thought to himself, 'If Gianna knew this, she would be devastated, right?'
He took a deep breath, trying not to let himself ponder any longer.
On the other hand, after receiving a call, Otis immediately went to Gianna's office to tell her about it.
"Gianna, do you need to make another appointment with Mr. Musk?" Otis asked.
Gianna shook her head, "No, he won't see me."
Otis instantly understood that the other's sudden business was a discreet refusal.
"What about the collaboration..." Otis asked.
"Go to tell Mr. Walton that there's no need to continue with this project." Gianna replied.
Soon, Faith received the message and came directly to find her.
"Gianna, why suddenly give up on this project?" Faith asked.
Gianna put down the file, furrowing her brow. "LR Design Studio has already taken over this project. It's a waste of time to continue."
Faith frowned and said, "I heard that Felix fired most of the management at LR Design Studio today to stabilize the company, so he took over this project!"
If Felix hadn't known that the CEO of MY FASHION was Gianna, Faith would have suspected that Felix deliberately retaliated against Gianna by taking over the collaboration.
Gianna said, "This collaboration is no longer possible, and it's useless to investigate the reasons. Now, the most important thing is to find a new fabric company. Send me the list of suitable fabric companies."
"Got it," Faith replied.
Throughout the day, Gianna selected three companies from the list Faith provided, which prices MY FASHION could afford, and asked Otis to arrange a meeting with them.
The head of a company agreed and scheduled to meet at a restaurant at six in the evening.
Gianna arrived early at the restaurant and waited until half past six, but the other party didn't show up, so she called Otis to ask what had happened.
A few minutes later, Otis called back. "Gianna, the other party suddenly had a business trip and will be available after the trip. It would have been nice if they had informed us!"
Hearing Otis’s complaint and dissatisfaction, Gianna smiled and reassured, "Don't worry. It’s normal. Let's try to make another appointment with the other two tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Gianna let out a sigh of relief.
Now MY FASHION is different from before. During her two-year absence, MY FASHION has been on a downward spiral, and even if she had given that fifty million before, it would only have lasted a few months.
Setting aside the fact that MY FASHION was founded by her, she didn't want the company to disappear like this. The best solution is Bankruptcy reorganization. But since she has taken over again, she will definitely not let MY FASHION go that way!
Gianna called Laura to come for dinner.
Half an hour later, Laura, wearing sunglasses and a mask, sat down across from Gianna, looking like a thief.
Gianna laughed slightly, "You look even more recognizable like this."
Laura took off her sunglasses, her eyes full of doubt, "Really?"
"Yes, originally, no one would pay attention to you, but dressing up so securely, you will arouse others' curiosity," Gianna replied.
"Okay," Laura said as she took off her mask and looked around, realizing that no one was paying attention to her, finally relieved.
Gianna saw the makeup on her face and burst into laughter, "Do you still need to wear a mask with this makeup? If I didn't know you well, no one would recognize you on the street."
Laura put on heavy makeup with a mole on her face, looking completely different from her usual light makeup. She smiled and said, "Are you serious? That's what I think, too."
Gianna handed her the menu and said, "What do you want to eat? Just order. I already ordered two dishes before you came."
Laura added another dish and a soup before handing the menu to the waiter, who took it and left.
As they waited for the food, Laura looked at Gianna and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to eat out tonight? Is there something to celebrate?"
Gianna shook her head, "I was stood up by a client today, and since the restaurant was already booked, I decided to have a meal here."
"I see." Laura didn't ask further. She knew that Gianna had a lot of work, and even though they were friends, she only knew one side of Gianna.
"Mrs. Hall, what a coincidence we meet again!" Mitchell greeted.
Suddenly, a joyful voice came from the side, but Laura's face quickly turned dark. She had already disguised herself like this; how could he still recognize her?
Seeing Mitchell, Gianna was also somewhat surprised, she thought, 'How did he know Laura?'
Laura looked at him impatiently and said coldly, "Mr. Mitchell, I'm having a meal with my friend. If you don't have anything important, please don't disturb us!"
Mitchell then looked at the person across from Laura and was surprised to see that it was Gianna.
"Laura, it's you. I'm having dinner with Felix tonight in Private Room 1. Would you like to join us?" Mitchell asked.
Gianna hadn't spoken yet, but Laura sneered, "Don't be ridiculous. Gianna and Felix are already divorced!"
