HONEY, Love Me One More Time novel Chapter 149

Estelle hung up the phone directly.
She was still busy working and had no time to waste on an unimportant person like Cristofer.
However, Cristofer called her again. Estelle didn’t bother to talk to him, so she ignored the call and muted the phone. 
An hour passed fast, and soon, time was up. Estelle then took her design drawings to the VIP room.
In the VIP room, Katrina was talking with Bob. Seeing her come in, she smiled, looked at the time, and said, “You used fifty-eight minutes and thirty seconds. You are quite punctual.”
“I always keep my promise,” Estelle said with a nod and then showed her design to Katrina.
“This set of clothes is designed for women aged 20 to 28, so I considered both their youth and maturity when designing. In case the earrings make them look too mature, I chose silver tassels as the earring pendants. As for the necklace, I designed a simple thin chain with small sparkling diamonds that can adorn the chain.”
“For girls who just entered society, they may not be able to afford the expensive big diamond, so I chose small diamonds that are cheaper than big diamonds. This set of jewelry is beautiful and keenly priced. I think it matches the clothes that I’m wearing well,” Estelle carefully explained.
Bob’s face darkened when he heard this. He walked over quickly, pulled Estelle’s sleeve, and whispered, “How could you say that the jewelry is keenly priced? Katrina’s clothing brand is a high-end brand, and her customers are all rich people for whom keenly-priced products mean low-end products. What you were saying just now is like you were saying the clothes designed by Katrina are low-end. You’d better quickly redesign the jewelry. Katrina is our big client. We can’t lose her!”
Estelle licked her lips and said, “But Bob, the clothes...”
“Don’t say ‘but’ to me. We have cooperated with Katrina before. She only has one requirement for jewelry.”
“What is it?”
“The jewelry doesn’t have to be perfect but must be expensive!”
Estelle was speechless.
Katrina is a world-famous senior fashion designer. How could she have such a ridiculous requirement?
“Well, it’s not the time to talk about it now. I’ll continue to talk with her to buy you some time, and you can redesign the jewelry as soon as possible!” Bob urged her anxiously and pushed her out of the VIP room.
Just then, Tim opened the door and came in, startled by Estelle, who was suddenly pushed out. 
Estelle was also caught off guard. Being pushed by Bob, she lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. 
Fortunately, Tim took her arm quickly and helped her stand steadily.
Seeing Estelle like this, Tim, who was still angry with her, growled and said, “Miss Hudson, what are you doing? Throwing yourself at me?”
Estelle stood straight at once and apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Roberts.”
Tim gave her a disdainful look, walked past her, and sat down beside Katrina. 
When he saw the design drawings on the desk, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and ask, “These are the design drawings that you just finished?”
Estelle nodded. “Yes.”
Somehow, Tim, who had been furious just now, suddenly cooled down when seeing the design drawings. 
Then he pushed the design drawings toward Katrina and asked, “What do you think?”
With her arms folded, Katrina, whose red lips compressed into a thin line, showed a knowing smile and said, “I think they are… excellent.”
“What?” Bob was stunned and asked, “Katrina, you mean you are satisfied with the designs?”
Katrina picked up the design drawings on the table and looked at them carefully.
Then she couldn’t help but make clicks and praise, “Only Love Jewelry does deserve the reputation it enjoys. Miss Hudson, you are really an excellent designer. No wonder Mrs. Green spoke highly of you and strongly recommended you to the rich ladies of the high-society circles. I have been engaged in designing luxury clothes. But a few days ago, I heard a moving love story between a young man and a young girl. I was touched and then designed this set of clothes. Miss Hudson, I love your design very much. I’m looking forward to working together with you. “
Hearing this, Estelle was pleasantly surprised and said, “I’m flattered, Katrina. Well, are there any details that you think need to be modified?”
“No,” Katrina said with meaning as she touched her chin. “I don’t think anyone else in the world knows my design philosophy better than you.”
“Then further cooperation between us.”
Katrina stood up and friendly reached out her hand, saying, “Miss Hudson, I’d like to invite you to go into partnership with me formally. I really hope you can be responsible for designing jewelry for the new clothes my brand launches every season. Would you like to cooperate with me?”
“Yes, I’d like to! Thank you very much, Katrina.” Estelle was overjoyed. 
Seeing this, Bob immediately said, “Katrina, how about we go to the meeting room and sign the contract?”
Katrina nodded and then followed Bob out. When she passed by Estelle, she paused and whispered in her ear, “You’re fortunate.”
Estelle was confused by her words.
‘Am I lucky? I lost everything I used to have. I have cancer and may die at any time. And I want to end my failed marriage, but I can’t because of the cooling-off period.’
‘No one in the world is more unlucky than me.’
‘The only lucky thing in my life was that I met Mr. Mysterious... Mr. Mysterious!’
Estelle suddenly realized something. Then she ran out of the VIP room and stopped Katrina. 
“Excuse me, Katrina. May I ask you a question? Did you choose me to cooperate with you for the sake of Mr. Mysterious?” she asked.
Katrina raised her eyebrows and said with a meaningful smile, “You call him Mr. Mysterious? Well, it’s a good name.”
“So, Mr. Mysterious asked you to cooperate with me?” Estelle asked.
“No,” Katrina answered without hesitation, “I do know Mr. Mysterious, but I chose to cooperate with you not because of him but because your design matched the clothes well and impressed me. I’m telling the truth. You can ask Miranda about me. I never lie.”
“I see,” Estelle said and nodded slightly. 
Katrina chuckled and continued, “I believe in fate. Miss Hudson, trust me. One day you will be reunited with your Mr. Mysterious.”
****
‘Miss Hudson, trust me. One day you will be reunited with your Mr. Mysterious.’
Katrina’s words re-echoed Estelle's mind the whole afternoon.
‘What did she mean by “reunited with Mr. Mysterious”?’
Logically speaking, she should say that Mr. Mysterious and I would meet or encounter each other. Why did she say that we would be “reunited”?
