Chapter 1528
Kayla pursed her lips and said, "I remember you saying I can have a refund anytime for the jewelry I purchased
from The Velvet. You sounded very confident back then. What makes you so desperate after just a few days?'
Stella chuckled, 'I'm just doing what I've got to do.”
Kayla switched hands for the manicurist as she lowered her gaze and said, 'Have you ever considered that no
matter how much effort you put in, it still would not mean I'll be your customer? I don't know you very well, and I
don't want to get involved in the feud between you and your sister either.'
'It's your freedom to choose who you want. However, I'm just doing what I can to secure this deal. The outcome is
not what I care most about.
Getting to know you as a friend is good enough for me."
Kayla smiled, "Friend?" She lifted her gaze, "You're only approaching me because of money. Do you really think that
we could be friends?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella was taken aback. Then, she smiled, "I'll get your deposit refunded right now."
Kayla looked at her, surprised.
Stella took her business card from her bag and handed it to Kayla, "Give me a call when you come."
Then, she stood up and walked away. However, after a few steps, she stopped, turned around, and looked at Kayla,
"Ms. Wilson, you're very right.
I was wrong for approaching you with an intention. It is my fault."
She walked back to Kayla as she spoke. Then, she took out a pen from her bag and wrote something on the
business card before giving it back to Kayla, "You can have a look at these magazines here. The fashion tips inside
can probably give you some inspiration. Also, The Velvet has a new head of designer now, and her work is
excellent. You're free to drop by anytime if you're interested. Goodbye."
Stella turned around and left after saying that.
Kayla looked at the name card in her hand and frowned.
Stella started reflecting on herself upon coming outside.
She figured that she was indeed a little hasty for coming here today. She was worried that Jaylene would
manipulate Kayla after hearing what Vermont said but failed to consider that coming here would actually make her
look annoying.
She used to point out others' hypocrisy. But today, she found herself guilty of the same criticism. Keegan had
always told her to prioritize her products while doing business, but now she could not help but feel that her actions
were not on the right path.
She would be just the same as Darcie if she were to close this deal by relying on building a good relationship with
Kayla.
Stella figured that although Vermont was right at some point, Keegan’s focus on integrity and product quality were
the fundamental strengths of a brand.
As she walked and thought about that, she saw Keegan and Jaylene chatting happily in the lounge area.
Suddenly, Stella had a feeling that she was being cheated on.
She coughed lightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeegan shifted his gaze to her, and his cold eyes immediately softened. Then, he walked over and asked, "Is it
done?"
'The manicurist said that my nails are too thin, so all she did was apply a layer of nail protection. I shouldn't have
signed the package," Stella said. Keegan comforted her, "It's okay. It's all chemicals anyway. They're not good for
you."
Then, Jaylene stood up and said warmly, 'Stella, Keegan, there's a nice Yostranian restaurant downstairs. Why don't
we have a meal together later?
Stella replied, "It's fine. We have other plans. Jaylene, you should stay here with Ms. Wilson."
She held Keegan's hand and whispered, "I'm a little tired. Let's go home.'
Keegan was puzzled by her sudden change in mood. However, he agreed with her anyway, "Sure."
Jaylene watched their receding backs for some time before turning around and walking away.
Once they got into the car, Keegan asked Stella, "You were full of energy when you went in there just now, but why
do you look so defeated now?"
Stella leaned against the window and sighed, "I just realized that doing business isn't as simple as I thought. I was
too eager to win Kayla over as a client, and every step I took was driven by self-interest. In Kayla's eyes, I'm no
different from her so-called "friends" from before."
