Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 62 The Birthday Celebration

Lydia and Queenie nearly couldn’t rein in their expressions upon hearing Anna’s words, but Lydia pressed on. “Nicole is back too. According to Queenie, she is currently working with Gardner Corporation. That’s why I came to invite you too.”

“Nicole?” Anna asked in mild surprise when she heard that particular name. She had heard about what had happened at F&M Apparel’s annual dinner, and she remembered that Nicole was Lisa. Upon hearing Nicole’s name, Anna’s expression softened slightly. Before she married her husband, Anna had been a somewhat famous fashion designer. However, she gave up her career as a designer because she had a new family. When she finally had time on her hands, she had already lost the drive she once had during her youth.

Colton knew that deep down, she regretted not being able to continue pursuing her dream as a designer, so after Gardner Corporation had stabilized its footing, he insisted on making the corporation blaze a path in the fashion industry.

“Mom, it’s Lisa. Let’s go to the party,” Wendy said, hastily pulling on her mother’s hand when she heard Lisa’s name. If Lisa wouldn’t agree to her brother’s request, she would ask her personally instead. If Wendy could get Lisa to design her gown, she would be the talk of the town when she wore it to her graduation.

Anna knew what her daughter was thinking of course, and she gave an exasperated laugh. She looked at the two women in front of her and nodded. “All right,” she answered.
