Chapter 384
Beyond the Divorce
Flaunt Harmonyâs agent immediately countered, âMs. Harmony doesnât have that much time to move back and forth. Do you think we have nothing better to do?â
I looked at Harmonyâs agent, Eloise. I had seen her before, and now she stood arrogantly looking down at 1. me.
Ivanna had complained about Eloise a long time ago. She had been trying to use Harmonyâs influence to push Ivanna down.
She felt empowered to bully the weak because Harmony was highly successful and had a benefactor like Atlas.
Ivanna was the one who assigned her to Harmony, but Harmonyâs assistant claimed that Eloise and Stella were secretly connected.
Inspiration struck me. I could stage a situation by having Eloise deliver a message to Stella. We would openly disagree with Harmony, causing Stella to return.
The idea was set, and I had no intention of backing down.
âWe must go to the showroom to solve the problem and satisfy Ms. Harmony. Itâs the quickest way to identify and solve problems.â My tone was firm as I said, âIâm not that free either!â
Ivanna raised an eyebrow with a mischievous look.
Of course, everyone was looking at me, especially the head of the project department. We all understood the necessity of this meeting.
âMs. Harmony has another shoot to rush to. We donât have the luxury of time to correct mistakes here,â
Eloise said.
âThen letâs talk about it when we have time!â I replied, âLet me also correct you. Tour demands are not our mistakes but your impolite requests. Iâm doing this because I value our relationship with ATL Empire, so you donât stress them too much. I can choose not to help!â
I spoke in a strong, and confident way.
âWhat do you mean? Whatâs impolite about our requests?â Eloise slammed the table. âIs this your idea of problemâsolving?â
My mocking smile was unrestrained. âBecause you are unprofessional. You do not understand home furnishings design philosophy, so your requests are unreasonable and troublesome. Understand?
ATL Empireâs representative looked disdainful.
âI brought my professional designers here to get ATL Empire to work with you. Instead of pounding the table and making a scene, show respect and change your attitude. Thatâs my approach to problemâ
solving.
My position and meaning were clear. I was only cooperating out of consideration for ATL Empire.
âOh, please look at international trends if you think our soft furnishings and accessories are too expensive. Your ignorance shouldnât get in the way of the bigger picture.
âWe canât follow your amateur instructions for making changes because it would make us look bad. Wel need to take care of our work. You cannot dismiss my designersâ international awards with one sentence!â
âYouâ¦â
âOtherwise, Ms. Eloise, letâs go to the site according to Ms. Chloeâs suggestion. Itâll provide a more direct perspective.â Ivanna provided an escape route.
ATL Empireâs representative nodded in agreement. âThen, letâs go to the site!â
âMs. Ivanna, Ms. Harmony has limited time. We canât afford to waste too much time on this matter.â
Eloise expressed her dissatisfaction.
âSince sheâs busy, she should be here on time!â I didnât back down, standing my ground.
I knew very well that she must be in Atlasâs office since everyone from ATL Empire was present.
Harmonyâs assistant quickly stood up. âIâll go inform Ms. Harmony!â
She swiftly ran out, leaving Eloise unable to stop her.
I quickly told ATL Empireâs project head, âOne more thing! In the promotional video, this time, all interior decorations must be credited to Tanum Interiors.â
In this critical moment, I also put forth my request.
