Chapter 1661
Director Dylan’s eyes widened in astonishment, he complimented, “Ms. Antonia, you sure know how to spend! Your generosity is astounding!”
Antonia merely smiled, “This is just the design fee. Feel free to quote the price for the actual gown!”
Blythe, who was standing nearby, was left speechless. No wonder Director Dylan was brown-nosing Antonia, she was loaded! Just the design fee for one dress was a hundred thousand!
Estelle remained unfazed, her beautiful eyes maintaining a detached calmness, don’t have the time. Please find someone else!”
Only then did Antonia turn to Estelle with a serious expression, “You think it’s too little? Even the top international designers charge around the same for such designs!”
Estelle replied, “It’s not about the money!”
The two women had crossed paths twice but didn’t know each other, so Antonia assumed Estelle was playing hard to get, trying to hike up her value and demand a higher design fee.
At this point, she scoffed, “I know you’re well-known. I’ll throw in an extra fifty thousand for your reputation. That should be sufficient!?
Estella walked towards her office desk, picked up a clothing order form, and instructed Blythe, “Yulia’s character needs to break away from her previous impoverished image. Sort out her wardrobe. I need to review it.”
“Duh!” Blythe responded, stealing a glance at Antonia before heading towards Estelle.
Estella and Blythe discussed work matters, ignoring Antonia.
Antonia gaped at them, turning to Director Dylan, “What does she mean? Is she saying the money is not enough?”
Director Dylan quickly interjected, “Ms. Antonia, don’t be upset, wait a moment, go talk to Estelle!”
Antonia coolly replied, “Go. Make sure she understands!”
Director Dylan nodded, quickly turning to find Estelle.
“Estelle, over here!” Director Dylan pulled Estelle aside, speaking in hushed tones, “Estelle, I know you’re pretty special, Mr. Tucker specifically told us not to disturb your work. But we can’t afford to offend Ms. Antonia!”
Blythe, intrigued, asked, “What’s so special about her?”
“You’ve heard of the Crawley family from B City, right?” Director Dylan asked cryptically.
Blythe gasped, “The wealthiest family in B City?”
Director Dylan nodded in agreement, “Antonia is the heiress of the Crawley family. That’s why we can’t afford to offend her! Estelle, the design fee that Ms. Antonia is offering is quite high, just agree to it. It’s just one dress! Blythe can handle more of your regular work. We’ll fully cooperate and give you enough time!”
“Even if she’s the heiress of B City’s richest family, it has nothing to do with me. I’m not taking this order.” Estella was as adamant as before, “She should find another designer!*
“Ms. Antonia came specifically because of KING’s reputation!” Director Dylan pleaded, “Estelle, why are you picking a fight with money? If you think it’s too little, I’ll help you negotiate the fee with Ms. Antonia!”
If it were anyone else, Estelle wouldn’t have rejected the money, but Antonia was an exception. Even if it meant offending her, Estelle wouldn’t take her
order
“I have some things to handle at the shooting location, I’ll head there first! Estelle excused herself and walked away.
“Estelle””
Director Dylan called out, but watched as Estelle walked past Antonia without a backward glance.
Director Dylan furlowed his brows, “Estelle is usually easy-going, what happened today?”
Blythe shrugged and hummed, “Big shots like Estelle can afford to do as they please. Do they have to consider other people’s feelings while working? is having money such a big deal?”
“Shut up!” Director Dylan snapped
An annoyed Antonia stormed towards them, ‘Director Dylan, did she just leave like that? Didn’t you tell her who I am?”

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
