“That's impossible!” Suddenly there was a loud outburst at that moment, Joanna roared out agitatedly. The voice was unfittingly sharp and there were traces of aggression.“How could you claim that you graduated from West city University? Do you take us for fools?”.
Joanna was very emotional and she wasn't willing to believe this fact as she felt that Zayn would feel that she wasn't worthy anymore.
She had earlier said that Bethany didn't graduate from a university but then Bethany suddenly came out to say that she had graduated from a top u university like West city?
How embarrassing that it is for her!
But a second thought, was she trying to make her look like a fool in front of others? why didn't she object to this earlier?.
“How can anything be impossible, Miss Meyer?” Bethany causally took out her phone and tapped on the screen a few times, then a picture popped up and moved close to Joanna, before setting the screen in a front of her eyes before saying.“This is my graduation certificate right there. If you have any doubts about this, you can get it verified at any time. I'll be willing to help you put if you need my help with this”.
Joanna kept staring at the cell phone with anger in her eyes, then she pursed her lips to argue saying.“You're doing this on purpose, right? You had intentionally said it now, just to make me look bad.....”.
“Enough!”.
Zayn couldn't bear to listen to the brawling from the woman anymore as he looked at her sternly with a warning expression. Then he pursed his lips annoyingly and berated.“Since you can't do anything by staying here. I suggest you leave this place right now. Now, get out!” He ordered.
“Zayn!?”.
“Get out!”.
Joanna was fuming with rage as her face curled up into a ball of anger.
However, she couldn't do anything as she had no choice but to do as he had said. After Joanna left the room, Zayn also drove the rest of the designers out leaving only two people who were supposed to help out Bethany.
Immediately, Bethany set to work as she didn't want to waste the rest of the time they have left. She quickly ordered the two designers to classify the category of clothes they knew while she handles others.
After a while, the two assistants were done classifying the other they knew–Looking at the time, Zayn realized that they have used up about 40 minutes of the time frame.
Bethany quickly put down the data project she was holding, moved forward, looked at more than the hundred clothes lying on the floor, then she began to point to each of them one after the other.
“This is glittering satin”.“This is artificial cotton”
“This is bourete”
“This is silk”.
Within ten minutes she had classified ten of clothes.
Furthermore, seeing the faces of the assistants holding the database as a comparison getting a shock expression at each classification, he could already know that Bethany was truly classifying them correctly.
Zayn looked at Bethany, his cold expression slowly turning to a look of appreciation as he glared at the lean woman in front of him.
Perhaps, she's truly worthy of becoming the chief designer for Oceania.
I'm going to let her act as the chief designer if she's truly as good.
“Huh?” Bethany seems to have suddenly run into some problems as she yelled out in confusion.
Meanwhile, Joanna returned to her office in anger as she hit her high heels on the floor angrily. As soon as she stepped into her private space, she ran her hands through her hair in frustration and yelled out angrily.
“Arg!!!”.
With that, she moved close to her cabinet and flung all the documents on the table, shoving them right on the floor.
After she did that, she suddenly heaved a sigh of relief as she tried to calm herself down.
“I'm going to make you pay for this humiliation, Bethany. How dare you to make me lose face in front of others?”. She roughly kick the pile of papers on the floor as she felt very bad.“You're just a nobody and I'm going to send you back to where you belong. just watch and see how I'm going to handle things around here”. Joanna yelled in a threatening tone as her eyes were filled with anger and hatred for the woman.
Just as she finished saying these words, her phone suddenly rang out and she angrily took it out from her purse. Glaring at the screen, a look of recognition crept onto her face and she picked up hesitantly.
“Hello, Joanna? when are you coming back? will you come home for dinner tonight?” A loud voice echoed from the other side of the line as soon as the call was connected.
Joanna quickly pulled the phone away from her ear while her eyes were shut tightly, she pursed her lips when the woman finally stopped speaking.
“I know mom, I'm going to come home for dinner tonight, don't bother me now. I'm very busy”.
She quickly ended the call before the woman have a chance to refute. After ending the call, she glared at her wristwatch and pouted.
She was getting restless when she saw that it was almost time, and they're still lumping around in the warehouse.
Back in the warehouse,
Bethany suddenly cry out when she ran into some problems while identifying the clothes.
Zayn furrowed his brows when he saw her looking so pensive. “What's wrong? Do you need help?”.
“I'm not sure about this set of fabric ” She raised her brows and glanced at him with doubts in her eyes.
Although she knew every single fabric on the floor and the categories they belonged to, she didn't want to create a reason for them to suspect who she was so she decided to create a situation like this.
I can't let them know that I'm Bethany Burnett otherwise I won't be able to find my way to the center now. how can I know all when I claimed not to have seen all?
“Do you have a lighter, Mr. Meyer?”.
She asked.
Despite not knowing what she needed the item for, Zayn didn't bother asking any question as he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out, and handed it over to her.
After that, she requested one of the assistants to fetch a glass of water for her, as soon as the water was ready, she lit up the light and picked up the piece of fabric she was not sure of and set it's
corner on fire.
She waited for the corner to turn black, then she put out the fire by immersing in the glass of water, then she brought it close to her nose to smell it.
After smelling it for a couple of seasons, she smiled knowingly, and then she explained.“ The fabrics are made of different materials, so the smell produced after burning is also different for each type. Sometimes, the different types of fabrics can be identified by burning it”.
Zayn finally understood why she had asked for the lightning item.
He nodded his head understandingly.
Seeing her facial expression, zayn decided to raise a question at him.
“Have you seen this fabric material before?”He asked looking at the fabric that she was holding.
“ No, I haven't seen it before. But my mistress had always talked about it. So, I have only heard about it from her at the time ”. She replied with a smile on her face.
how could I have not heard about it when I'm the owner of it?.
Suddenly, she draped the fabric that shimmers like water around her body and turned around innocently. Then, she looked toward Zayn and asked with cute innocence.“Doesn't this look beautiful, Mr. Meyer?”.
The shiny beautiful fabric and her nicely tone beautiful face aligned to create an eye-catching scene with each of them complementing one another.
The scene in the warehouse was suddenly lit up by the beautiful scenery that she had created with fabric along with her gorgeous facial features–The atmosphere in the warehouse was pleasantly beautiful.
She looked flawless.
Both the assistants gasped at the scene before their eyes as they couldn't believe how extraordinarily gorgeous she was.
Although Zayn didn't lose his senses while staring at her intently as the assistants did, he was certainly bewildered by her appearance–his cold eyes flickered and his expression softened.
But he soon realized that he had misbehaved as he quickly looked away and replied gently.“It's a beautiful fabric ”.
“This kind of material is most suitable for an evening dress” Bethany didn't pay much attention to the change of expression on the man's face as she was busy admiring the fabric.
After about half an hour, all the fabrics were finally put back in their places as they were classified by Bethany.
Soon after, the customers soon arrived and took the fabrics away.
When Bethany was done with the task of classifying the clothes, she returned to the big office. As soon as she stepped into the office, the other designers came forward with an enthusiastic look on their faces as they mumbled excitedly. “Bethany, we just heard from Debbie and Michael that you succeeded in making a difference out of the fabric by simply touching and smelling them. How did you do it?”
“Yes, you are too good to be true. Tell us about it, please”.
Bethany wasn't surprised when she was suddenly faced with this change of attitude toward her from the other designers.
“I learned everything from my Master,” She said gently before continuing.“, She taught me to know and identify fabric by simply looking and touching them without any special effects, and can also make a great design out of them”. She said without sugar-coating anything.
As soon as she said these words, everyone nodded their heads in agreement as they could now understand why a woman like her could graduate from a notable school like West city.
They must gave taught her using a different method different from the ones they know.
“What are you doing lazying around like jobless morons? Have you all gathered for a family meeting?”.
They suddenly heard a loud voice shout from behind as Joanna walked into the office with an angry expression.
