She didn't want to go. She would miss Liam and Joy too much.
But she had no choice. This time, she absolutely had to go.
It wasn't just about the fabric. She was also busy registering her company, hiring staff, and scouting suppliers. It was good to get out and compare options; shopping around was always a smart move.
Once she secured a reliable supplier, things would be much easier down the line.
The weather forecast predicted severe thunderstorms in Seacrest for the next two days, so she packed her rain gear in her suitcase.
When Grace learned she was heading to Seacrest, she urged her to make it a quick trip. Every summer, Seacrest was either scorching hot or hit with torrential downpours.
Extreme weather was common there.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll be back tomorrow. My flight is tomorrow afternoon, and I've packed an umbrella."
"You be careful out there by yourself. And that Seven, really! As soon as summer vacation started, he became inseparable from Fairchild. He hasn't come back at all." Grace grumbled, but her face was full of affection.
As soon as his summer break began, Seven Holt had gone to stay in the countryside to play with Fairchild every day.
Occasionally, he'd help Easton Holt with small tasks. They still went over to Summer Quinn's house for meals.
Summer had invited Easton to just eat with them, but he didn't want to impose. However, he couldn't resist the pleading looks from the two little foodies, Fairchild and Seven.
Easton had offered to pay for groceries, treating it as a contribution to their living expenses, but Summer would never accept his money.
Mentioning this, Grace's expression soured as she couldn't help but complain about her eldest son.
"When will that blockhead Easton ever get a clue? Summer invites him over for dinner, and he offers her money. Doesn't he know he should buy her a gift or something? No wonder there are no women in his life."
Janina traveled with an assistant. They arrived in Seacrest at two in the afternoon, and a car from the supplier was there to pick them up.
After an afternoon of inspection and discussion, Janina had a pleasant conversation with the company's director. She decided on the spot to place an initial order for a batch of fabric, making sure to emphasize the importance of timely delivery.
After their meeting, Janina and her assistant returned to the hotel to rest. The next morning, they had to go back to the supplier's office to sign the contract.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
The next day, after the contract was signed, Janina and her assistant were preparing to head to the airport when she received a call from a manager at DL. He instructed her to have the assistant stay behind at the supplier's factory to oversee the shipment.
Janina considered it and agreed. It made sense. This fabric mill was a primary partner for a high-end luxury brand, and any issues with the shipment would create major problems for them.
With her assistant staying in Seacrest, Janina went back to the hotel alone to grab her suitcase and head for the airport.
