The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

Chapter 97: She Didn't Want To See Him Now 

Ayla was completely immersed in finishing her design draft.Once done, she eagerly presented it to Linda, the company's design department director.

"Director Linda, I just completed my design.I would love for you to take a look," she informed her as she handed the draft over.

Linda reluctantly accepted the design but didn't bother to go over the drawings.

"I'll put it aside for now.Boss said she would come and pick it up herself today," she said dismissively, her tone implying an utter dislike for the employee.

Linda thought menacingly, 'You're a pathetic undergraduate who has nothing to prove yet.' Ayla being hired with a competitive salary was merely because of their boss.

What irked Linda the most was how this girl quickly climbed up the ladder.

Within a few months, her designs could already compete for high-caliber fashion shows while Linda painstakingly worked for it for over half a decade.

"Alright, I see.I'll go back to my workspace then.Let me know if there's something I should improve on and I'd be glad to revise it," Ayla replied politely.

She had no clue as to where Linda's hostility was coming from.

It was never Ayla's intention to threaten her in any way.

She was only doing her job as a designer and no matter what happened, Linda would always be the 4 director.

"Go ahead!" Linda almost shouted with annoyance.

She wanted her out of the office immediately.

There was I no sense letting her meet the boss.

Ayla stepped out of the office and proceeded to sort out some documents for work.She didn't stay long though, since she still had afternoon classes to attend.

As she alighted from the elevator, she came face to face with an elegant woman donning a sleek beige suit.

Her queen-style handbag and tasteful makeup added to her alluring charm.

One would not think she was over 40 as her lovely face radiated a youthful glow.

"Boss,"

Ayla managed to greet the woman, although she was still a bit intimidated by how fashionable she was.

"Wenny, what's with the rush? Why are you leaving early? Do you want to go upstairs and have a little chat?"

Yareli Evans invited her warmly.

The kind gesture made Ayla smile but she had to decline, "I would love to but I still have a class this afternoon.I only dropped by to give my draft to Linda."

Yareli was of Chinese descent.

Fifteen years ago, she founded the Starlight Fashion Hub in Italy.

From her humble beginnings, she exerted hard work and dedication which made the company grow significantly.

Now, it was recognized as Milan's most prestigious fashion and design house.

"Oh, you have classes this afternoon? How about going out for lunch together? It's still early and we can squeeze in some time," Yareli suggested.

Her years in the business made her a good judge of character.

She could sense something good in this designer, and that was why she wanted to get to know her better.

Ayla was actually not in a hurry but she didn't want to interfere with her boss's work.

However, it also didn't feel right to turn down her offer twice.

"I just don't want to take up too much of your time.Would it be okay?" she asked politely.
