Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

An attendant went forward to inform Anastasia at this moment. “Miss Tillman? Miss Hart is waiting for you.”

“That’s me,” Anastasia acknowledged with a smile and a nod of her head.

“Please follow me.” The attendant gestured in invitation.

After stepping into the cafe, Anastasia saw Leah and another woman sitting at a table by the window and chatting at this moment. At a glance, it was obvious to Anastasia that the other woman was just as rich as Leah and dressed to denote equal status.

“Ah, the designer is here! Please sit! Bring the coffee,” Leah ordered the attendant.

The attendant immediately nodded. Anastasia had only just sat down when a cup of coffee was placed in front of her. Looking over at Leah, she responded, “Thank you for the coffee, Miss Hart.”

“You’re welcome. Let’s talk about design, then! I wish to commission an engagement jewelry for myself—something that befits my status. I hope you won’t let me down.”

“Please share your opinions with me. I have several styles for you to choose from.” Anastasia reached out to retrieve her documents.

“Hmph, I’m the client here. What I want is your design. What’s the point in having me choose?”

“I still have to know what you like for me to have a direction for the design.”

“What I like is something unique, beautiful, and suits my temperament. The rest is up to you. Besides, don’t you know how to research what I like? You can look me up!” Leah lazily reclined against her seat with an arrogant look on her face.

For a few moments, a dumbstruck Anastasia stared at Leah. Now, she finally understood that. Leah had no wish to give any direction or communicate any idea for the design. What Leah wanted was for her to come up with a design out of thin air that was satisfactory to Leah.

“I’m sorry, Miss Hart. I’m afraid I can’t take your commission. Please find another designer!” Anastasia had no wish to stay any longer. After all, there would be no earning Leah’s money no matter how much effort she wasted.
