Chapter 700
Everyone in the studio knew how hard Draco had been working on the project. Nothing would happen if Mandy did not ruin her collaboration with Draco.
“So you’re saying this is Mandy’s fault?” Brenna asked with a chuckle.
“I didn’t say that it is entirely her fault. She is equally as responsible for the project as Mr. Wesley. It would be best to ask her about it too,” Elizabeth explained after a short pause.
Brenna was furious when she heard Elizabeth’s reply. Her tone turned cold, “I didn’t expect this from W Marks. Not only are you not admitting to your mistakes, but you’re also trying to shirk away your responsibilities. I trusted you to design the dress on Mandy’s account. But not only has Draco not finished the design, but he also created trouble for Mandy. I hope he can reflect on his inabilities and apologize to Mandy.”
“You must be joking. It was…” Elizabeth was so angry she was about to argue. However, she gritted her teeth and restrained herself as she dared not to offend someone as reputable as Brenna.
Natalie turned around when she heard Elizabeth raising her voice. She couldn’t tell what had happened but only saw Elizabeth trembling with annoyance as she held the phone.
Natalie got up and took the phone from her, putting it against her ear. However, the phone was already hung up. “Who was it? Why are you so angry?” Natalie asked with a frown as she put her arm around Elizabeth’s shoulder.
Elizabeth took a deep breath and sat down. “It was Brenna Olson. She called to urge Mr. Wesley to hurry up with her dress’ design. She said that it was our fault for being slow. I have never seen someone so unreasonable in my life!”
Natalie glanced towards the closed doors of Draco’s office and whispered, “It’s been a long time. Haven’t Mandy and Mr. Wesley made up? Their feud had even delayed the project…”
“I am also surprised. I thought it was just a small quarrel. I didn’t expect Mandy to neglect her work. No one expected things to escalate this far,” Elizabeth replied in her ear.
Half an hour after Brenna’s call, Draco returned to the studio with the design draft in his arms.
Elizabeth gently kicked Natalie’s leg under the table and murmured, “You have a good relationship with Mr. Wesley. Can you tell him about it for me?”
Elizabeth couldn’t bring herself to inform Draco of such terrible news.
Natalie nodded reluctantly as she understood Elizabeth’s dilemma. She stood up and knocked on Draco’s door. “Come in.”
Natalie pushed open the door and walked in but hesitated to say anything for a while.
Draco looked at her meaningfully and got straight to the point, “Did Brenna call?”
Draco’s voice was hoarse and evidently tired.
Natalie noticed he sounded off but didn’t probe any further. Instead, she answered dutifully, “You’ve guessed it. It’s Brenna. She called to urge for the design draft. Her attitude was not good. It’s most likely because I offended Mandy. Mr. Wesley, do you need me to explain to her?”
“No need. I’ll handle it,” Draco replied calmly and lowered his head, resuming his sketch. Natalie could not tell if he was serious or angry. She could only nod and was about to leave when suddenly, Draco said in a deep voice, “Brenna and Mandy’s families are very close. They might be using this matter to pressure me. They want to make me yield to them.”
