Chapter 1589
Darcie's smile dropped at the sound of Kayla wanting Stella to be her image consultant. She initially thought Kayla's
arrival was an opportunity to stir things up even more. She had even strategically placed new personnel in The
Velvet but never expected such a turn of events.
Stella did not see it coming either. She had not interacted much with Kayla lately. Most of the design matters were
handled by Maggie.
Kayla was quite pleased with the piece, so she went ahead and paid the deposit. The item was delivered just a
couple of days ago. It was personally sent to the Wilson residence by the company staff.
So, when Kayla showed up at the store today, Stella genuinely thought it was because she was dissatisfied with the
product.
Every word Kayla uttered, though harsh, seemed aimed at steering the situation in her favor. Stella could not help
but think of Keegan, who similarly appeared cold and aloof but gradually showed a warmer and caring side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe looked at Kayla, her gaze softening, "rm not a professional. But if you like, I'd be happy to offer my suggestions
for free. It's not a problem if you want Maggie to handle future designs. The reason why she had another designer
take on your order is probably because she has a heavy workload lately and is afraid you might get impatient."
"I have plenty of time and money. I can wait,’ Kayla huffed.
Stella chuckled, "Alright. I'll talk to Maggie and get an appointment scheduled."
"Great," Kayla replied. She then turned to Darcie and softened her tone, "Mrs. Saun, the quality of The Velvet's
products has dropped significantly in the past two years. The new owner you found has only taken over for a little
over a month, but the quality seems to have improved considerably. It's a step above what it was when I first
encountered The Velvet. You've truly found the right successor, Mrs. Saun."
Darcie could not believe her ears. She tried to offer a smile, but she was not able to do so. This was not the
outcome she wanted.
In the end, Darcie could only maintain her composure and say in a low voice, "I'm glad to hearthat you're satisfied,
Ms. Wilson. I agree; Stella has a sharp mind and good taste."
"I trust her because you picked her, Mrs. Saun. I believe in your judgment," said Kayla.
Darcie was in distress hearing that.
The group of young socialites who were there with Kayla finally caught on that she was not there to settle scores
with Stella; she was there to place a new order.
Kayla's phoenix pendant was so stunning that some of the girls began to get ideas, "Ms. Hall, can I also make an
appointment? My mom's birthday is coming up, and I'd like
to get a custom piece for her."
"I'd like to order a pair of earrings, Ms. Hall. Is it possible to customize earrings?"
"There are issues with the craftsmanship of a pendant I bought from another store. Is it possible to get it fixed
here?"
The group was eager to ask questions.
One of the reasons they wanted to make an order with The Velvet was Kayla's obvious fondness for the store, in
addition to the craftsmanship. Moreover, it would give them a shared topic of conversation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Velvet had consistently delivered high-quality products. However, the girls were influenced by Xianna in hating
Jaylene and hesitated to support the store. Now that they think about it, they find it unreasonable not to buy from
The Velvet because of the conflict between the Annes and Sauns.
We're just consumers. As long as the product is good and meets our standards, does it really matter who gets the
money?' they thought.
Stella had her assistant call for Maggie, and the few salespeople quickly registered the girls into their system.
Darcie felt ashamed as she watched everything unfold. Just half an hour ago, she had sworn to help Stella stabilize
her customer base. Yet, there was no need for her to do so anymore.
Stella had just finished attending to the guests when she saw Darcie about to leave. She hurriedly stopped her and
said, "Mrs. Saun, I appreciate your kindness, but I'd like to hold on a bit longer. As for the shortage of staff you
mentioned, I'll try to manage on my own. Though the situation is not ideal, it is still better than a potentially worse
scenario. As for Chris, embezzling company property is a crime. I've already had my assistant report him to the
police. IV
Darcie's gaze abruptly darkened, "Stella, that sounds a little ruthless of you. It's best not to take things too far in
life."
