The Queen's Back (Mona and Maxwell) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109
Mona finished talking to Lydia and walked inside. Just as she reached the door, she saw Artemis’s assistant, Nicole, walking over in a hurry.
When she saw Mona, Nicole looked like she had seen her savior and ran to Mona in a panic.
“Mona, go to the dressing room and take a look. Our dress has been stained with coffee,” Nicole said anxiously. She was afraid there wasn’t enough time. By then, Artemis would wear a coffee-stained dress to go on stage. That would be extremely humiliating.
When Mona heard Nicole’s words, she was also afraid. It was not easy to wash the coffee stains. If they washed it, it would leave stains. When the lights were on, people could see it. Mona quickly followed Nicole to the dressing room.
When she arrived, Mona saw Artemis getting someone to bring water to wash the coffee stain off the dress.
Mona hurriedly walked over and stopped it in a panic. “No, don’t wash it. It will ruin the beauty of the dress.”
When Artemis heard that, she looked at Mona in a panic and said, “Mona, I’m sorry. I just wanted to take a sip of coffee to refresh myself. Unexpectedly, I bumped into the girl who served me coffee. Then, this happened. It’s all my fault. What should I do now?”
The thing was, it was already the fifteenth model’s turn. Artemis wanted to take a sip of coffee to refresh herself so she asked the girl by the side to make her a cup of coffee.
The girl handed the coffee to Artemis, and the latter subconsciously turned around and knocked off the cup, which accidentally hit her wrist. Just like that, the dress was stained with coffee.
After the incident, the girl had been apologizing to Artemis. Seeing the girl was about to cry, Artemis said she wouldn’t blame her and let her go.
In her impression, it was indeed not the girl’s fault. Artemis did not notice that the coffee was so close to her.
However, what Artemis did not know was that when she turned around, the girl specially sent some coffee forward, which was the main reason for the coffee spilling on the dress.
Mona looked at the coffee stain in front of Artemis’s abdomen and frowned slightly. If it were smaller, she could wash it and be careful when on stage. However, the point was that this position was too conspicuous and the stain was too big. There was no way to cover it.
“Mona, do you have any spare designs?” Artemis asked.
If it didn’t work, she could only wear a backup dress. It might not be as beautiful as this dress, but Artemis knew if she wore this dress, she definitely wouldn’t win an award.
Mona shook her head. This time, she was careful when designing. The entire process only involved her and Elara. After designing it, she kept the dress in her villa. It was safe. She did not think of making a spare piece.
“What should we do? What should we do now? We’re already No. 18. It’s almost our turn. Where are we going to get a new dress now?” Nicole said regretfully.
Nicole thought, ‘Shit. I shouldn’t have left for the bathroom. I should have stayed close to Artemis. If I had handed Artemis the coffee, such a thing wouldn’t have happened because I know Artemis well.’
I have to make it a new design, Mona stared at the large stain on the dress and thought quickly.
When Nicole still wanted to say something, Artemis saw through Mona’s thoughts and nudged Nicole, telling her not to interrupt.

Nicole shut her mouth as asked. She felt wronged as well as anxious. When she was anxious, she wanted to say it out.
After a long while, an idea crossed Mona’s mind. She snapped her fingers and said, “I have an idea. Do you have paint and a paintbrush here?”
Nicole subconsciously shook her head and wondered, ‘How can there be paint and a paintbrush here in the dressing room?”
At that moment, Maxwell and Nigel walked in. When the two of them saw the stain on the dress and knew it was the priority to solve the problem immediately even if they did not know what had just happened.
Maxwell said, “What a coincidence. I’ve got a paintbrush and paint in my car. Nigel, go get them.”
Maxwell had bought them at an auction a few days ago. He was thinking about giving them to his grandfather when he returned to the Clem family. Now that the situation was urgent, he could only get something else for his grandfather.
Nigel quickly took the key from Maxwell and walked toward the garage.
Mona asked Nicole to bring Artemis to the dressing room to change.
For a moment, only Maxwell and Mona were in the dressing room.
“Maxwell, thank you. It’s so good to have you,” Mona said gratefully. Otherwise, it would take some time for Mona to get someone to buy a paintbrush and paint. In that case, she did not know if she would be able to make it in time for the competition.
“What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do. Are you confident that you can remedy this?” Maxwell asked
He guessed Mona wanted the paintbrush and paint to remedy the dress, but he did not know how effective the remedy would be.
Mona shook her head and said, “I’m not sure, but I’ll try my best. Now, under such circumstances, I can’t think of a better way.”
“Mrs. Carter, I believe you can do it. It will succeed,” Maxwell said as he held Mona’s hand.
Nigel happily came in with a paintbrush and paint and saw the scene.
‘Oh my god, Mr. Carter is holding Mona’s hand and saying such encouraging words. Maxwell’s tone made Nigel unable to believe his eyes and ears. ‘Mr. Carter seems to have changed. He’s become more humane. Nigel thought.
As the footsteps approached, Mona quickly put down Maxwell’s hand and moved to the side, smiling at Nigel.
Nigel cleared his throat awkwardly and placed the paintbrush and paint on the table.
He met Maxwell’s dissatisfied gaze and thought to himself. ‘It’s not that I wanted to interrupt, but time is especially precious. I have no choice but to disturb your happy moment, boss.’
At that moment, Artemis walked out after changing her clothes. She carefully spread the dress on the table.
Nigel had the paintbrush and paint ready. Mona folded one side of the dress to prevent the back from being damaged later. Mona took a deep breath. “I’m starting. If it’s ruined later, we’ll…” “We’ll lose. Mona thought so.
Before Mona could finish, she was interrupted by Artemis. “Don’t jinx it. Don’t spout nonsense. We will succeed.”
“That’s right. I believe you,” Nicole said confidently. Ever since she saw Artemis wearing the red dress designed by Mona, she had admired Mona.
“I have faith in you, too. Good luck. You can do it,” Nigel said, thinking the girl Maxwell had fancied wouldn’t fail.

Mona’s eyes met Maxwell’s. His thin lips moved slightly as he said, “Mona, I believe you, too. You will make it. After all, you
are Mrs. Carter!”
