Caught off guard, Ste barely had time to respond before Be pressed on, “Tomorrow is the deadline.
If you finish it, send it to her as soon as possible.
”
Ste, taken aback, responded in surprise, “Tomorrow? That’s very sudden, isn’t it?”
Be’s tone carried a hint of displeasure.
“Haven’t you finished yet? Margery informed me three days ago, and I had Elizabeth ry this to you.
Didn’t you prepare?”
Ste felt bewildered; she hadn’t received any such message.
Be’s voice grew stern.
“As a designer, you should understand how crucial punctuality is to our clients.
It impacts our brand’s reputation.
Must I really exin something so basic?”
Ste opened her mouth to defend herself, but hesitated, knowing it might be futile to argue that she hadn’t been informed.
The priority was to maintain Margey’s trust; failing to fulfill this order could jeopardize her credibility and future opportunities.
“I’ll ensure it’s done by tomorrow,” Ste assured her firmly.
After Ste ended the call, concern etched her face.
With only one day left, her promise to Be felt daunting.
“What did Be say on the phone?” Matthew asked, sensing her anxiety, and took her hand.
Ste recounted her conversation with Be, her worry apparent.
“The custom dress for Margery is ready, but it still needs specific hand embroidery.
The
embroiderer, Rylie McCoy, who can do it has taken leave for three days, so we’re behind schedule.
”
Matthew frowned.
“Can’t someone else from the clothing department take over?”Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Ste shook her head.
“It’s not so simple.
”
She sighed.
“Margery is particrly discerning when ites to embroidery.
For this gown, she specified aplex technique that involves numerous styles for just a small pattern.
It’s not something that can bepleted quickly.
Additionally, Rylie has a unique skill set that isn’t easily replicated.
”
Ste felt a wave of despair.
She knew the importance of handling this situation carefully.
Yet, despite considering everyone she knew, she couldn’t identify a suitable recement.
Seeing her dejection, Matthew took a moment to think and then reassured her, “Don’t worry.
Let’s think of alternative solutions.
I’ll also speak with Fernando to see if he can rmend someone else.
”
Ste rushed to find Angel Kelly, the head of the clothing department, as soon as she arrived at thepany.
After hearing Ste’s urgent request, Angel hesitated, and then said, “Finding someone to rece Rylie right away won’t be easy.
”
Ste, feeling anxious, pleaded, “This project is really pressing.
Can’t we ask her toe back soon?”
Angel shook her head sadly, exining, “She’s gone back to her hometown for a wedding.
It’s far from Seamarsh, so even if she could return quickly, it wouldn’t be in time.
