Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: The Grand Finale Appearance
On the other side, Zara Ward, having finally gotten through to Charlotte Thompson’s phone, hung up under the gaze of everyone in the studio.
At that moment, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death, I thought Miss Thompson wouldn’t come today," a female employee patted her chest.
"Okay, let’s proceed with everything as planned," Zara Ward clapped her hands, signaling the staff to continue their preparations.
"But what about the boss’s last piece of clothing?" Steven Taylor, an employee at Zara Ward’s studio, walked up to her and pointed in a direction.
Hearing this, Zara Ward looked over and saw the half-finished piece on the clothes rack. The slight ease in her brows tightened once again.
This piece had been something she had been waiting for Charlotte to work on together, but now with Charlotte not having arrived, naturally, the piece had been delayed.
Zara Ward’s lips pressed thinly, then she said, "If it really can’t be done, then let’s not send it out."
"But..." Steven Taylor began to say then stopped.
He knew how much heart and soul the boss had put into that piece, the one that everyone in the studio was most looking forward to, and now to just say it’s not going up was unthinkable.
This couldn’t help but cause Steven Taylor to harbor some dissatisfaction with Charlotte in his heart.
If it wasn’t for Charlotte’s delay, the piece might not have been discarded.
"You go ahead and get ready for the other things. The invited guests and reporters will be entering the fashion show soon. Keep an eye on everything and make sure there are no mistakes,"
Noticing the expression on Steven Taylor’s face, Zara Ward spoke.
"Understood, boss." Steven Taylor nodded and turned to leave.
However, what Zara Ward didn’t know was that after Steven Taylor left the backstage, many studio staff members were waiting outside.
"What happened, what did the boss say?" a young girl asked.
She didn’t specify what it was, but everyone present knew what she was referring to.
Steven Taylor’s expression was grave as he slowly said, "It might not be completed."
As soon as Steven Taylor spoke those words, the atmosphere became heavy in an instant.
"If it’s not completed, does that mean it won’t be able to go on stage?" the young girl hesitantly voiced a fact.
"That piece has been designed by the boss for half a year, waiting just for today’s fashion show to be the grand finale, but now how could it not be completed..."
"If it wasn’t for that Charlotte..." Steven Taylor couldn’t suppress the resentment welling up in him and blurted out.
The admiration Steven Taylor once had for Charlotte in his heart had already diminished by quite a lot.
"Steven, how can you say that?" another employee retorted, looking disturbed.
"Charlotte clearly promised our boss she would arrive early and finish the final design of the dress with her. But now, her person has not shown up, and the boss has had to call her so many times before she answered," Steven Taylor continued.
"Stephen, Miss Thompson is so well-known in the design field, her daily work must be incredibly busy. Besides, without Miss Thompson’s support, perhaps our fashion show might not have been possible to hold at all,"
Someone beside tried to console Steven Taylor.
"Is that an excuse for her not arriving on time?" Steven Taylor said through clenched teeth.
But just as Steven Taylor finished speaking, he looked up to see Charlotte and Coco hurrying over.
Not just Steven Taylor, but everyone there had embarrassed expressions.
The words they had been saying behind someone’s back, Charlotte had overheard them directly.
All the staff at the scene became uneasy in an instant.
What if they had angered Charlotte?
