The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 480 New Job
Now that Ethan had recovered and was back in Seacisco, Janet’s life was back on track as. She went to W Marks Studio to work as she had promised Draco.
W Marks Studio was a three-story house located in Barnes’ high-tech zone.
The house itself was nestled in a quaint garden surrounded by lush green plants. Beautiful flowers of all colors adorned the garden, making whoever passed it by feel at ease and happy.
As soon as Janet stepped foot in the yard, she heard merry laughter from inside.
“She’s here!”
“Oh, my God! She’s gorgeous!”
“I thought that all the talented designers were chubby women with glasses. But she’s slim and I don’t see any glasses!” Janet made her way up the steps and pushed the door open nervously.
As soon as the door swung open, party crackers went off, followed by streamers falling like snowflakes.
“Welcome on board!” a chorus of voices sounded. There were more than twenty smiling faces in the room on the first floor. On the table were all kinds of snacks, flowers, and cakes.
Janet was surprised and had no idea how to react.
All of a sudden, a tall woman with shoulder-length curly hair and light makeup approached her. The woman’s
smile was very infectious, making the people around her feel welcome. It was also her most charming feature. Despite wearing only a simple white dress, she looked authoritative yet warm.
“Mr. Wesley is busy drawing upstairs. He didn’t have the time to come down, so he asked me to receive you on his behalf. It’s nice to meet you, Janet. I’m Rosa Pierce, one of Mr. Wesley’s a*s*sistants.”
The smiling Rosa shook hands with Janet and led her to meet everyone. “From now on, Janet will be our third design a*s*sistant. Let’s give her a warm welcome.”
“Hello, everyone. ple@sure to meet you all.” After Janet gave a brief self-introduction, the office was filled with thunderous applause.
Janet surveyed the sea of smiling faces until somebody caught her eye.
The woman’s skin was pale, as though she rarely went out under the sun. What caught Janet’s eye was the fact that the woman wasn’t smiling, unlike the rest of her peers. In fact, she seemed indifferent and alienated.
Rosa followed Janet’s gaze and led Janet to the woman. “This is Elizabeth Perry, another design a*s*sistant of Mr. Wesley.”
Elizabeth looked Janet up and down and nodded without saying anything. Janet managed to put on a faint smile. However, she could tell that the arrogant-looking Elizabeth was going to be difficult to get along with.
Rosa spent the whole morning showing Janet around, explaining to her what everyone did in the studio. She was like a ray of sunshine, enthusiastic and friendly. The people in the office clearly were fond of her, and they would tease her from time to time.
“The people in our studio are all very friendly, but we won’t sugarcoat the fact that we’re no strangers to overtime.” Rosa winked at Janet. “Let me tell you a secret. Mr. Wesley likes to talk about work with us just when we’re about to leave from work. Although he looks gentle and amiable, he’s a devil when it comes to the work. He is so harsh and strict that many colleagues have broken down behind closed doors.”
Janet was a bit taken aback. “I had no idea. I was under the impression that Mr. Wesley doesn’t like talking that much.”
With a mysterious smile, Rosa patted Janet’s shoulder and said knowingly, “You’ll see it for yourself in the future. Well, that’s the end of the tour. I have to get to work. I still have a lot of drawings to submit.”
After taking Janet to her seat, Rosa turned around and briskly walked away. Janet devoted herself to her new job.
She soon realized that what Rosa said was true. Draco was very demanding. He immediately turned down Janet’s first design.
“Scratch it. The style and color are too vulgar.” Draco didn’t even look up at Janet as he spoke. With a pale face, Janet took her drawing out of the office and began to revise it. She didn’t finish until midnight.
Over the next few days, Janet was too busy to even take a break.
