Chapter 1269
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1269 I Canât Accept The Offer.
Could it be that hope still lingered? Lexiâs eyes sparkled with excitement.
âTruly?â
Janet responded with a warm, reassuring smile, âI wonât attempt to convince Carly any further.
I believe she might just take it upon herself to approach me.â
Envisioning the congenial interaction between Carly and Mandy, Lexi pouted, âBoss, I must say Carly
and Mandy seem to be getting along splendidly. I doubt sheâll choose anyone else.â Janetâs grin
remained.
âIâm not convinced Mandy can create a dress that will truly satisfy Carly.â Janet knew Mandy all too
well.
Mandy held herself in high regard, only deigning to design clothing for the affluent and influential or the
most renowned of stars.
The fact that she accepted Carlyâs request this time was likely an attempt to irk Janet.
With that thought in mind, could Mandy genuinely create a dress that met the clientâs desires? Janet
had her doubts.
Yet, Lexi didnât concur with Janetâs assessment.
âBoss, I believe we canât simply wait idly. To passively anticipate Carlyâs initiative is not enough. We
should attempt to persuade Carlyâs grandmother.â
Flashing a confident smile, Janet replied, âPatience, dear. Just wait and see.â
Witnessing Janetâs unwavering confidence, Lexi couldnât help but feel a tinge of confusion and
curiosity.
âBoss, you were uncertain just yesterday.
Why is it that facing a formidable competitor like Mandy has only bolstered your confidence?â
Janet shot Lexi a knowing glance, her smile unwavering, yet she offered no explanation.
As they conversed, the car came to a gentle halt outside the studio.
Janet spotted a familiar face at the entrance.
âEstella?â
Janet exclaimed in surprise.
âWhat brings you here?â
Upon turning around and seeing Janet, Estellaâs face lit up with a joyful smile.
âI heard your studio was open for business, so I brought some friends along to visit and show our
support.â
Only then did Janet notice several others standing beside Estella.
She greeted them with a beaming smile, âHello, and welcome to my studio.â
They returned Janetâs warm welcome.
Estella grinned, âAside from paying you a visit, my friends also wish to commission you to design a few
garments for them.
Might you have the time?â
Janet was taken aback by Estellaâs unexpected visit and the generous offer.
She was deeply touched.
âThank you, Estella.â
âOh, thereâs no need for thanks.â
Estella brushed off the gratitude with a wave of her hand.
âShall we head inside?â
Janet eagerly ushered everyone into the reception area and instructed Lexi to prepare coffee.
Once all was in order, Janet inquired with anticipation, âWhat kind of designs are you looking for?â
One of Estellaâs companions chimed in, âTruth be told, we initially placed this order with W Marks
Studio.
However, upon learning youâd established your own studio, weâd like you to take over the project.â
Janetâs surprise was evident.
âAn order from W Marks? Is thatâ¦appropriate?â Estella nodded, her smile reassuring.
âYou neednât feel guilty. My friends and I chose W Marks initially because you were the designer there.
Now that youâre an independent designer, we have no reason to remain with them.â
Another voice concurred, âExactly. It was your designs we sought from the start. W Marks Studio hasnât
commenced our order yet, so itâs not too late to change designers.â Furrowing her brow, Janet shook
her head solemnly.
âI apologize. But I cannot accept the offer.â
