Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Don’t Have the Guts
Charlotte Thompson focused her gaze, listening intently to what Zara Ward was about to say.
"Since you’ve delegated this collaboration to Elijah Walker, you could have just announced it in the company directly. Why did you have to find a bunch of designers in the company as well?"
At the very beginning, Zara Ward felt somewhat puzzled upon learning that Charlotte intended to put Elijah Walker in charge of the clothing project in her studio.
However, as someone who adores clothes, Zara and Elijah hit it off right away, and the two of them have been exchanging their expertise in their respective fields throughout the garment-making process.
After a period of collaboration, the resulting work was simply stunning.
"The quality requirements for these clothes differ, so it’s normal to assign different personnel. Plus, I’ve entrusted you with the most important and challenging pieces. This shows how much trust I have in you," Charlotte said with a smile towards Zara.
"But as the saying goes, ’to catch a big fish, you need to cast a long line.’ Now that everything is ready, we are just waiting for the final step."
Others might feel clueless hearing Charlotte’s words, but Zara understood them and showed a surprised expression.
"Who would have thought that a company like Riley Group would also harbor those who pursue fame and profit?"
"The bigger the company, the harder it is to manage. After all, it is impossible for one person to take care of hundreds or thousands of employees."
"That’s true."
Zara nodded towards Charlotte: "As for my studio, we have so few staff, you could count them on your fingers. So, we don’t have such hidden problems."
"Still, it is a bit unfair to you. Lately, you haven’t been able to return to the company, and there’s no way to stop the rumors circulating there." Charlotte turned her head towards Elijah Walker.
But Elijah wasn’t perturbed by it and shook his head: "If it were not for Miss Thompson’s trust, I probably would have been fired by the company by now. You not only trust me, but you also gave me such an important task. I don’t care about the gossip within the company at all."
Saying this, Elijah hesitated a bit, worriedly adding: "My only concern is that some rumors may affect Miss Thompson."
After all, when he was still at the company, Elijah had heard those rumors.
"You don’t need to worry about that; they don’t have the guts to continue spreading rumors," Charlotte curved her lips into a smile.
"Right, Elijah, don’t forget, her husband is your ultimate boss," Zara elbowed Elijah beside her and gave Charlotte a teasing smile.
"That is indeed a fair point."
Charlotte made no attempt to deny it, prompting Zara to shake her head in mock disapproval.
"I’m so envious. What a CEO’s wife. When will I ever meet a CEO?" Zara said casually.
Meanwhile, an employee nearby peeked over.
"Boss, why would you need a CEO? You’re more of a boss than a real CEO is, oozing authority."
"Go back to your work," Zara gestured, pushing the employee to one side.
"Right, here are the last two pieces."
Finally, Zara brought the conversation back to work matters, placing two design drafts in front of Charlotte.
"The garments are in the final stages of production. If there are no issues, they can be completed by tomorrow. Then, all the tasks you entrusted to us will have been fulfilled."
"Thank you for all your hard work. You’ll receive year-end bonuses."
