Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 211

At that point, Shelley was panicking. What should I do? I’m supposed to give the design drawings to Zachary soon! If I fail to do that, the others will surely make fun of me. They are already jealous of me. If I can’t deliver as promised, I’ll lose my dignity in Radiant Corporation!

She lowered her gaze and saw the picture on her phone screen. All of a sudden, a dark look flashed her eyes. This is it! I’ll submit Ada’s designs!

At ten o’clock sharp, Shelley submitted the design drawings.

Gina’s eyes lit up when she saw the design drawings. “The gown design looks so pretty with jasmine. flowers on it. If the end product has the same effect, it’ll surely sell well.”

“I told you I wouldn’t disappoint you.” Shelley smiled. It’s just a gown. I can also come up with the same design.

“Well done. Proceed to make these five gowns and get them ready by the end of the month,” Gina reminded.

It was a tight schedule because one might need to alter the design halfway through the production. Hence, that could end up delaying the process.

“Should I get Christina to help you? She’s very skillful in embroidery and sewing,” Gina suggested.

“No. Don’t worry, Ms. Tanner. I’ll complete my work on time,” Shelley quickly rejected Gina’s suggestion. I can’t let Christina help me. What if she copies Ada’s design?

“All right, then. I’ll let you get back to your work.”

Shelley held the design drawings against her chest and turned around to leave. I’m good at embroidery and sewing as well. Why would I have a problem making a few gowns?

Meanwhile, Christina finished her work at the office earlier than she had expected.

Since she had a few sets of clothing to complete, she went to the tailor room. The moment she entered the tailor room, she saw Shelley and her assistant cutting the fabrics. She also saw them hiding the fabrics and design drawings the second she walked through the door.

Christina was rendered speechless. Are they worried about me stealing their designs? I’m not even interested!

Christina found a spot to sit down with her back facing them.

The light fell on her delicate figure, and one could see what Christina was doing through the reflection in the glass mirror.

At that moment, Christina was seen spreading out the clothes in her hands and embroidering them quickly and precisely. The way she moved her slender fingers was so smooth that it was as if she was playing the piano.

Upon seeing that, Shelley’s assistant gaped in disbelief. I’ve heard about how skillful Christina is, but I’ve never seen her work in person. She’s in a different league! We need half an hour to finish what she can do in around ten

minutes.

“Should we ask Ms. Steele for help?” the assistant whispered after Christina left. These design drawings rely heavily on embroideries. Embroidering these jasmine flowers is going to be tough!

Shelley was a prideful woman, so she wasn’t willing to ask Christina for help. “No! How are you a designer if you don’t even know embroidery?”

The assistant didn’t dare to utter a single word in response.

Back at Hadley Corporation, Madison received a call from home. “Maddy, would you like to accompany me to the church during the weekend?” Madison’s mother asked.

“I have a lot of unfinished tasks, though. I’ll go with you next time,” Madison rejected. Since I can see Nathaniel at the office. I would rather stay in the office than go anywhere during the weekend.

Moira Taggart, Madison’s mother, went on to convince Madison by saying, “Well, I heard that Mrs. Hadley is also going to church. Don’t you want to see your future mother–in–law?”

Everyone at home knew what was on Madison’s mind. Since they couldn’t talk her out of it, they ended up helping her instead.

If I don’t do something about it, I’ll eventually lose Mrs. Hadley’s support. With that in mind, Madison replied. “All right, then. I’ll go with you.”

“I heard that Mrs. Hadley trusts one of the priests in the church a lot. I’ll get the priest to prophesy for you.” Moira was thrilled. If we can get Mrs. Hadley to like us, it’ll be easier to convince Nathaniel.
