The Billionaire's Pretend Wife (Isabella) novel Chapter 60

Grace handed her the plan she had submitted for her to go through again. Isabelle went back to her desk and reviewed everything, comparing it with the customer’s requirements.

When she was done, she found that she had done everything as requested. When she had been preparing the plan before making her submission, this was something she had paid extra attention to.

She had known that no matter how good her design was, it would not get chosen if it wasn’t what the client was looking for.

She was also sure that the director had paid attention to that while deciding which design to go with. By her own evaluation, she couldn’t tell what part of the design was not in line with the client’s requirements, so she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to work on.

After checking her draft for the umpteenth time, she gave up on trying to identify possible areas of improvement and went back to Grace’s office.

“Has the client provided new guidelines?” she asked Grace, thinking that maybe that could be the case. It was common for clients to make changes to their requirements after the initial drafts were presented.

“No,” Grace replied, “they still want the same thing. But when I forwarded your design, they said it wasn’t up to par.”

“Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve?” Isabelle asked her, hoping that the director would have suggestions. A second perspective could be what she needed. “I don’t think I understand what’s wrong with my drafts. I was careful to meet all of their demands while preparing my plan.”

Grace clasped her hands on her desk and shook her head. “Honestly, I too cannot tell what’s wrong with your design. We submitted your plan because we felt it was the perfect fit for what Green Leaf want. I was surprised when I received the request to redo it.”

Isabelle frowned. If even the design director couldn’t think of a way to improve the design, what was she supposed to do?

“Let’s do this,” Grace suggested, “let’s revise the design with the client. If we sit down with them, they can tell us what they didn’t like. Because as we stand, unless they give us new requirements, I don’t see how we can submit anything better than what we have.”

“That’s a great idea,” Isabelle agreed. “I would love to sit with the client too to get a better understanding of what they want.”

The two left the office and after a short taxi ride, they got to the Green Leaf Company Headquarters. The company was a women’s fashion brand.

They went inside the building and took an elevator to the design department of the Green Leaf Company. When they got to the right floor, they headed to the reception. Isabelle was shocked to find Naomi there. Her sister noticed them right away, and she walked over to join them.

“Well, who do we have here?” she asked, her mouth twisting in a sneer as she looked at Isabelle.

Multiple thoughts crossed Isabelle’s mind. What was Naomi doing at Green Leaf Company? Did she work here?

“Do you work here?” Grace asked kindly, offering her hand in greeting. “We are from the Larson Group, and we’d like to talk about our latest collaboration.”

Naomi completely ignored Grace’s hand and crossed her arms over her chest. “Oh, is that so? I am the one in charge of that project.”
