Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 192

Annie remained unaware of the dark, treacherous undercurrents in Jynston. She was focused on her design drafts when the desk phone rang.

"Come to my office, Annie." It was Linda's voice.

After setting her drawing pen aside, Annie stood up and curiously headed toward Linda's office.

Linda sat behind her desk. Her expression was as professionally neutral as ever when Annie stepped inside.

"I have an urgent task, Annie," she said, sliding a file across her desk. "The eldest daughter of the Jensen family in Siddleton is getting married. They've specifically requested EVL to design the main wedding gown, so this project is yours."

Annie was taken aback. The Jensen family account was one of the most high-profile commissions in the industry, usually handled by Amy Bates, the team's most senior designer.

"Ms. Lopez, wasn't Amy in charge of this project?"

Linda took a sip of coffee and showed no change in her expression. "Amy has taken emergency maternity leave. She's not feeling well and needs rest."

That explained it. Annie didn't press further and said, "Alright. I'll take it."

Linda nodded in satisfaction and pressed the intercom button. "Send Julia in."

Soon, there was a knock on the door before Julia Bloom peeked inside. "Ms. Lopez. Annie."

Linda gestured toward Annie. "Julia, you'll assist Annie on the Jensen family project for the next few days."

Julia's eyes immediately lit up. "Got it! I promise I won't let you down!"

Annie smiled and turned back to Linda. "I'll go pack my things then. We'll leave this afternoon."

"No need."

Linda stopped her and got up before walking over. Her tone was firm and final as she said, "They're rushing us. You'll head to the airport now.

"Buy whatever you need once you're in Siddleton and put everything on the company's account."
