Chapter 117 Go Down With Me
Caroline had a bad premonition when she saw a grim-looking Christina walking into the office.
Although she had already deleted all the data and related invoices, she was worried Christina might track down the factory manager. That would spell big trouble for her.
Despite having cleared the air, Christina felt aggrieved about being wronged. When she got into her office, she immediately called Bailey and asked for her help to do some sleuthing.
Bailey was enigmatic and had multiple identities. Although she had been acquainted with her for so many years, Christina only knew she was an influential figure in the voice-over industry and was also one of the top three hackers.
It didn’t take long for Bailey to find out the address. Other than the hotel name, she also managed to get the check-in information and details of expenses incurred at the hotel.
Christina stared hesitantly at the address for a moment before calling the police.
She wasn’t stupid and would not risk her own safety by heading there personally.
As they had already filed a police report for the matter, the police were quick to act when they received her tip-off on the whereabouts of the suspect.
Christina was confident that so long as the suspect was detained, it would be easy to track down the mastermind of the matter.
Just then, the phone on her office desk rang. It was Gina on the line. “We have a VIP guest. Please come to the conference room now,” Gina requested.
When Christina reached the conference room, she saw that a few other designers were already gathered there.
Anna from Team A and Millie from Team C were there. They were both senior designers of the company with many years of experience in the industry.
The guest was a lady with almost half her face hidden behind a pair of oversized shades. She was looking through some designs, and from her pursed lips, it was pretty obvious she wasn’t too pleased. with what she saw.
Anna and Millie exchanged worried glances, stunned that even Gina’s design could not win her approval.
They reckoned no one in Radiant Corporation could meet her expectations.
That lady laid down the design drawings and asked, “Are there any works from other designers?” There was a tinge of disappointment in her voice.
Gina handed her another set of drawings and said, “There’s one more. She’s new to Radiant Corporation. Please take a look at her portfolio.”
The lady took the drawings, and after she went through a few, a smile broke out on her face. “This designer is good. Let me meet her.”
Gina immediately turned to Christina, pulled her over, and made the introduction. “She is the

designer, Christina Steele.”

The lady was visibly excited when she saw Christina. She removed her shades and exclaimed, “We meet again!”
When her face was revealed, there was a moment of silence in the room. Everyone was stunned.
That mysterious guest was Renee Olson, the most sought-after actress.
No one had expected a star like her would turn up at Radiant Corporation personally to look for a designer for her wedding gown.
Anna and Millie were devastated. If they had known who she was, they would have done their utmost to market their own designs.
Without a doubt, Renee’s wedding gown would definitely get lots of media attention, bringing fame and fortune to the designer.
Christina had no idea the lady she had met in the mall was a hot celebrity. Renee had made special efforts to disguise herself in order to stay incognito while she was in public places.
Renee held Christina’s hand and grumbled, “Why didn’t you respond to the messages I sent you?”
As Christina did not save Renee’s contact details, she could not recognize the phone number. She had thought those were unsolicited junk messages, so she had conveniently ignored them.
“My apologies. I must have missed them.” She told a harmless white lie.
Once again, Gina, Anna, and Millie were stunned.
Famous celebrities like Renee were notoriously private and would not reveal their personal contact number to any Tom, Dick, and Harry.
“No issue! Come, let’s discuss my wedding gown design!” Renee chummily made Christina sit down next to her and began to rattle off her list of requirements.
“I don’t want the top to be too revealing. As for the bottom, I want it to be elaborate, preferably with exquisite and eye-catching details. Most importantly, the design must show off my tiny waist! Oh, is it possible to add some glittery diamonds?”
Bombarded with a quick succession of demands and worried that she might forget any details, Christina quickly took out her tablet and recorded everything Renee asked for.
Renee and Christina were totally engrossed in their discussion and paid no attention to the other three ladies in the room.
Anna and Millie knew they stood no chance anymore, so they bitterly left the room. They were green with envy that Christina was given the lucky break to work with Renee.
On the other hand, Gina quietly sat down next to Renee and Christina, listened to their discussion, and occasionally chipped in with her own suggestions.
Before they knew it, three hours had passed, and they had spent almost the entire morning on that discussion. When Renee was finally ready to leave, Christina and Gina personally walked her to the
door.

As Renee put on her shades, hiding her gorgeous eyes, she reminded Christina, “Remember to send the design drafts to me when you’re done, Christina. I’ll send my hubby over later so you can get his
measurements.”
