Chapter 1499
It seemed like Chris had a pretty good relationship with Barbara. When he heard that Stella was really going to fire
her, he immediately chimed in with some kind words.
"Ms. Hall, Ms. Tucker is just a little straightforward and not good at expressing herself. She's the head of our design
team and oversees the entire design operation here. If you let her go, the design department will become a mess
without a leader."
Stella paused, "You have a point there. We can't have a design department without a leader."
Then, she added, "Let's have the designer at the third workspace in the office take her position for now. I'll make
further adjustments later."
'The third workspace... Maggie Hart?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChris's expression shifted. He could manage everyone in the design department except for Maggie. However,
Maggie was not someone he could fire because her designs were very popular and her prices were low, which was
very rare in the industry.
Nevertheless, Maggie was very blunt and only knew how to draw. She did not even know how to flatter her clients,
let alone play these little tricks with Chris and Barbara.
"Ms. Hall, are you sure? Maggie Hart only knows how to draw, and that's all. ■
"That's good enough. A designer's competence is built on their designs. What's the point of having sales and
marketing staff if I need her to deal with the customers?"
Chris was about to say something more, but Stella interrupted him, "Go get it done. Make sure Ms. Tucker hands
over all her projects before she leaves. I don't want to see her here again when I come to the company next time."
Barbara's face looked extremely pale.
"Hold on."
Kayla finally spoke in a lazy tone, and she looked arrogant. She casually glanced at Stella and continued flatly, "Who
is going to handle my custom order if you fire her? Who will advise me on how to match my jewelry tonight?"
Barbara seemed to have found her savior and immediately grabbed Kayla's arm, "Ms. Wilson, please help me. I've
almost finished the design drawings. They can't just replace me like that."
Kayla brushed her hand away and said indifferently, "I have nothing to do with this. There's no use begging me. I
don't work here, and I only care about who's going to handle my order."
Of course, she would not get involved in their company affairs. She was merely unhappy because Stella had
criticized her taste.
Barbara's hope was shattered, and her face turned ashen.
Chris had no choice but to escort her out. If she left now, the company would still offer some compensation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, if they were to anger Stella further, that might not be the case anymore.
Chris thought that Stella would be easy to fool because of how young she looked when he met her downstairs. He
never expected her to fire an employee so decisively that even Darcie's assistant did nothing to stop it. That made
him more cautious.
Stella looked at Kayla from head to toe before asking, "Ms. Wilson, what event will you be attending tonight?"
"A business banquet organized by my own family," She replied flatly.
'There's no need for you to purchase any new jewelry if that's the case. The dress code for a business banquet
usually emphasizes elegance and simplicity. You don't need to wear a lot of excessive accessories."
As she spoke, she reached out, intending to remove the hair accessory on Kayla's head. Kayla was startled and
moved backward instinctively. nWhat are you doing?" she asked.
Stella smiled, "I'm going to help you with your outfit tonight."
Kayla looked at her skeptically, "You're not a designer. How are you going to do that?"
Felicity chimed in before Stella could say anything, "My bestie knows a lot about fashion, and she always gets the
spotlight wherever she goes. No matter how ugly a person can be, she can turn them into someone who will leave
everyone in awe."
