Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Get Lisa to Design the Dress

Colton typically spoiled his sister. Whatever she wanted, he would provide it, and besides, this request wasn’t an outrageous one. However, Joanna was currently out of the country.

“She’s overseas right now. It’ll be at least a week before she gets back. If it’s meant to be worn at your graduation, then the dress probably won’t be finished in time,” Colton replied honestly.

Wendy immediately pulled a long face, her pretty features distorting. She went over and tugged on Colton’s arm as she pretended to be angry. “What should I do, then? I came back specifically to ask Miss Joanna to design my dress.”

Colton regarded the family princess and laughed, somewhat exasperated. After a moment of thought, he spoke. “Why don’t you just pick a dress for now? I’ll get Joanna to make you a dress for your 18th birthday then, all right?”

Wendy’s birthday was in the middle of March, which was a month later. That would be enough time for Joanna to come back and get that dress ready.

“No, that won’t do!” Wendy shook her head, displeased. Girls loved looking pretty, especially during events such as their graduation ceremony. How could Wendy settle for less?

Seeing her daughter’s disgruntled look, Anna suddenly remembered something. She lifted her head to look at Colton. “I recall that Gardner Corporation has been working with Lisa from F&M Apparel recently, no? Why don’t you get Lisa to help instead, Colton?”

At the mention of Lisa, Wendy’s beautiful eyes gleamed. Her initially disgruntled expression turned bright, and she tugged on Colton’s arm again. “Really? Is Lisa working for our company?” As she spoke, she unwittingly pitched her voice higher. It was Lisa, after all, the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel. She was a designer that one wouldn’t necessarily be able to hire just because one had the money to throw at her. If she could wear one of Lisa’s designs, she would be able to turn countless heads!

“Lisa’s working at the company, but she’s only there because of a collaboration with Gardner Corporation. Your request is considered a private matter…” Colton said slowly as he looked at Anna.

Without waiting for Anna to speak, Wendy pulled on Colton’s arm again. “Colton, just help me ask her, okay? If she can’t fulfill the request, I won’t make you force the question again. How about that?”
