Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: Refusal
"How about we find a place to eat and talk?"
Before Charlotte could speak, Leon continued.
Charlotte glanced briefly at the materials in her hand, then without hesitation, rejected Leon’s suggestion:
"Sorry, there’s no need to have a meal with Mr. Battleson, and besides, the cooperation matters are handled by our president."
Charlotte looked towards Justin Battleson.
Although she had turned him down directly, Leon’s smile didn’t diminish in the slightest as he stood up and straightened out his clothes.
"How could Miss Thompson reject me so quickly? Won’t you consider it at all?" he asked.
Charlotte smiled without a word.
But her facial expression already made clear her stance.
Seeing this, Leon sighed with a hint of regret and then turned to Justin, "As for the matter of cooperation, Mr. Battleson should still give it some thought. I won’t distract you any further, it seems your company has a meeting soon with XTZ and the designers."
After finishing, Leon waved to Charlotte, then turned and left.
Once the office door closed again, Charlotte handed the documents she was holding to Justin.
"He just came to propose a brand collaboration?"
Charlotte was not familiar with Leon, so she couldn’t guess his true intentions.
Justin took the documents, brows furrowing as he skimmed them; not a wrinkle eased.
"I’m also unclear about what exactly he wants to do, but he’s not that simple. Just stay away from him and avoid any contact," he advised.
"I understand," Charlotte nodded.
Leon’s visit was just a minor incident. Justin and Charlotte briefly discussed recent work within the company, and before long, someone came to announce the arrival of the XTZ designers.
Justin and Charlotte went to meet them together.
This time, the XTZ technical team that was sent comprised three people, including a fashion director from the XTZ Druarus branch who had been in communication with Charlotte.
She was a very mature and stable middle-aged woman who couldn’t resist praising Charlotte when they met.
"Miss Joy, you are much more beautiful in person than you are in the news reports, and it’s impressive that someone so young has achieved so much."
"Mr. Carter, you flatter me. In fact, I very much admire your designs, and even some of my previous works were inspired by your style. You could say you are my fashion mentor," Charlotte replied softly with a laugh, which indeed earned her a satisfied smile from Mr. Carter.
Since they had already talked online for quite a while, their meeting wasn’t awkward.
The two chatted with each other all the way to the company’s conference room.
At that moment, all of the important designers of Riley Group were gathered in the conference room, clearly indicating the significance of this collaboration to Riley Group.
After everyone was seated, Charlotte didn’t hesitate to hand over the design drafts she had prepared in advance to Mr. Carter.
Mr. Carter had only glanced at the drafts before the designs fully captured his attention. He flipped through them one by one, his expression growing increasingly joyful.
"My goodness, this is fantastic."
Mr. Carter exclaimed genuinely, flipping through the few designs repeatedly. Looking up at Charlotte, he gave her a thumbs-up, his eyes brimming with admiration.
"I’ve never seen such wonderful design drafts. If these are actually produced, they will certainly have an exceptional effect."
