Chapter 371

Chapter 371 Innovation Gareth was burning in rage– Elisa was wise enough to know that she shouldn’t argue with him recklessly, so she remained silent. In fact, it was a rare occasion that she didn’t retort to Gareth.

Having nowhere to vent his frustration, Gareth scoffed, “Elisa Benett, you better pray that I don’t hear things like that again.

Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences.”

Elisa didn’t bother to bicker with him, so she closed her eyes and refused to respond.

On the other hand, Thomas felt as if the car engine was failing today because no matter how hard he stepped on the accelerator, the journey seemed to be endless.

However, the display panel clearly showed that he was driving at a fast speed. If he continued accelerating, he would exceed the speed limit.

Elisa thought they were heading back to the hotel, but she realized Thomas was going a different way, so she asked, “Where are we going?”

“To meet the designers.”

Her eyes darkened, Elisa pressed her lips and remained quiet. Didn’t he say that I was given half a day off from work? It’s not even noon yet!

Soon, they arrived at their destination. The meeting this time was also held in a private room, but the venue was different from the previous clubhouse.

When Elisa and Gareth walked into the room, the designers had already arrived. There were three men and two women, all of which seemed to be in their thirties. Upon seeing Elisa and Gareth’s arrival, they stood up and greeted the two.

“Hi Mr. Wickam, Ms. Elisa.”

Gareth nodded at them and dismissed his sullen look. “Please take a seat.” He hummed indifferently.

Then, he went to sit on the main couch while Elisa sat on the couch next to him.

The room seemed to be a proper meeting room because there was only one long couch that could accommodate four people while the rest were single-seat couches. In the middle of the couches was a tea table, and there were no other entertainment facilities.

The designers were nervous as they sized Gareth and Elisa up. How could they possibly not be nervous with Gareth around?

Gareth leaned against the couch and crossed his long legs while tapping his bony fingers on the armrests from time to time. The aura that he emanated was so imposing that one could hardly breathe.

He remained silent while Thomas walked forward and passed a contract and some materials to Elisa.

Elisa knew this was a job assigned to her, so she looked at the designers and asked, “Hi, all of you agreed with the direction of our collaboration this time over the call yesterday. Is there anything else that you would like to add?”

The designers shook their head. Elisa nodded with a smile and took out the contract from its envelope. “Great, then we can sign the contract first.”

The designers received the contract and perused it. After ensuring that nothing was wrong, they signed it.

When the procedure was completed, Elisa gazed at them and said, “We shall start discussing the theme of the wedding gown next.”

The woman who was older than the others asked, “Ms. Benett, do you have any requests for the design of the gown?”

Elisa smiled and answered, “Innovation.”

The designers were startled by the ambiguous answer. Even Gareth, too, cast a displeased glance at Elisa although he refrained from commenting.

Elisa ignored their response and continued, “I observed all the themes that you guys studied in the past. You incorporated minor innovations each time, but this time, I would like to request comprehensive innovation.”

Everyone wore a confused look. Another man spoke up, “Ms. Benett, can you be more specific? We can explore the direction and try to design one according to your request.”
