Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: Rambling
However, what Charlotte Thompson did not expect was that the world changes unpredictably.
Sometimes, some things can change drastically within just a few minutes or seconds.
Charlotte did not return to her office immediately, but instead went to the design department, as the deadline for completing the collaboration with XTZ was drawing increasingly close.
Her timely reminders could also allow some time for final modifications.
However, she did not expect the results from the design department to be quite dissatisfying.
Charlotte looked at the finished products in the design department, her eyebrows furrowing deeply as she questioned, "Is this the final product you are presenting to me?"
Charlotte glanced at the clothes on the rack, her smile turning stern for the first time.
"Doesn’t Miss Thompson have one more week until the final deadline? This time should be sufficient to complete the garments," one of the designers immediately explained.
"So, are you planning to finish the task in the last second of the countdown on the final day?"
Charlotte usually appears gentle and approachable, but when it comes to work-related matters, she becomes very serious and strict, and sometimes her demands can even be described as devilish.
Of course, these devilish demands Charlotte sets are only for herself, while for other designers in the company, she just demands according to the normal industry standards.
After all, the company conducts inspections a few days before the deadline to ensure that the products are completed by the designers.
"Since the deadline has been given, there shouldn’t be a problem to submit the designs on that day, right?"
The designer, looking at Charlotte, couldn’t help but retort somewhat defiantly.
"What will you do if you find defects in the designs on the last day? Will you still have time to make corrections?"
Charlotte’s tone was very calm, but it carried an authority that was hard to contradict.
"So many unforeseen circumstances, unnecessary worries," Florienna Ellis muttered under her breath from a corner.
Usually, her casual remark might not be heard, but in the quiet of the design department where a pin drop could be distinctly heard, her words were clearly audible.
"It seems Mr. Ellis is quite confident in his work, by the way, I wonder where Mr. Ellis’s designs are, can you show them to me?"
Charlotte looked over, giving her a faint smile.
Florienna, suddenly called out by Charlotte, was taken aback, and upon hearing Charlotte wanting to see her own work directly, Florienna couldn’t maintain her composure anymore.
"They are just some semi-finished products that Miss Thompson is very dissatisfied with, there’s no absolute need to see them."
Florienna glanced towards Teddy Carter standing nearby.
She had no tasks.
Her tasks were all handled by Teddy Carter, and now Charlotte wanted to see what she could present.
However, Charlotte did not overlook the subtle gestures between Florienna and Teddy Carter, she chuckled softly, observing the designers Teddy initially chose, all of whom were those friendly with him in reviews.
Charlotte remembered these faces clearly.
"You all are very talented designers, and I believe in your capabilities. Let’s keep up the good work,"
Charlotte said and then left.
After all, if it weren’t for this collaboration project, Charlotte normally wouldn’t manage these designers; after all, it wasn’t her position to do so.
As for these casual individuals, a day will come when they will be taught a harsh lesson.
