The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1267 Sincere Apology
Mandy put her spoiled and childish personality aside and made use of her professional fashion expertise to quickly win over Carly with just a few words.
She could be very eloquent and articulate when in the presence of high society’s upper-class ladies.
“Mandy, I trust in your professional abilities. I can now rest assured that my grandma’s dress designs are in good hands. She has worked h*ard her whole life, and she has never worn a good dress. This has always been a thorn in my heart,” Carly said with a sigh, patting Mandy’s hand and smiling.
Mandy expressed her empathy by saying, “You’re such a good granddaughter. I will do my best and design a very unique outfit for your grandma.”
Carly smiled and nodded in agreement, suddenly noticing Janet standing beside them.
After seeing Janet, Carly recalled her appointment with her.
“Miss White, I’m sorry.” With a look of regret, Carly added, “I really admire your work. But unfortunately, I’ve found someone else who is better suited for my requirement.”
Mandy gave Janet a meaningful smile and said, “It’s been a long time, Janet. I am the designer Miss Reed has chosen for the project.”
From their conversation, Janet already knew that Mandy had taken the job which was originally hers.
Although she felt some amount of frustration over losing a client, she was more surprised to see Mandy there.
She never anticipated Mandy would take up a design job from Carly. Was it really just a coincidence?
But Janet knew well that it was not the right time for her to dwell on such thoughts.
Janet gave Carly a wry smile and said, “There is no need to apologize, Miss Reed. Not only did I come here today to get the job back, but also to personally apologize to your grandmother.”
And that was the real reason behind her visit.
Although she was a bit disappointed about losing the design job, she did not blame Carly because it was her mistake, after all.
If only she had driven Clyde away that day, the poor elderly woman would not have gotten hurt, and she would not have left a bad impression on Carly, so indeed it was a failure on her part.
Upon hearing Janet’s earnest words, Carly’s unpleasant feelings toward her were somewhat eased.
Carly smiled and said, “Miss White, you don’t need to feel bad about what happened that day. My grandma is a very kind woman, and she doesn’t hold any grudges against you.”
But Janet shook her head and insisted, “Miss Reed, if you won’t accept my apology, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life.”
Janet then brought out the snacks she had prepared in advance and handed them to Carly. “I hope you can pass these snacks to your grandma and convey my apologies to her.”
For a moment, Carly hesitated. But then, Janet’s heartfelt apology moved her, so she accepted the snacks.
“Since you’ve gone through the trouble of preparing these snacks, it would be ungracious of me to refuse them, so I promise to pass them on to my grandma,” said Carly.
Feeling relieved, Janet smiled and said, “Thank you so much, Miss Reed. I really appreciate it.”
Carly checked her watch and apologized, “Forgive me, Miss White. My grandma will be here soon to discuss the design project with Miss Hamilton, so I will not be able to entertain you any longer.”
Carly hoped Janet would leave soon, so as not to disturb the meeting between Mandy and her grandma.
Since Janet had achieved the purpose of her visit, she did not need to stay any longer. “Alright then, I shall take my leave. I will see you some other time.”
Carly nodded with a smile and said, “Goodbye, Miss White.”
