256 The Client Who Won’t Leave
Dawn had been so exhausted and drowsy earlier that morning that she hadn’t caught anything clearly. The words had floated past her ears without making a solid impression.
She had wanted to ask again for rification, but by the time she went downstairs, Hannah had already spoken. “Ethan left for the office first thing this morning. He seemed like he was in a rush.”
“Oh, alright then,” Dawn replied with a nod, deciding it was best not to disturb him while he was busy.
After finishing her breakfast quietly, she made her way to the office. It wasn’t long before a message from Linda popped up on her phone.
Roxanne had made the decision to involve herself directly in the creative process, ensuring that their designs would be absolutely wless. In other words, Roxanne would be working alongside Dreammaker Studios’ design team for the foreseeable future.
Janice’s eyes widened in surprise. “Has Ms. West never had to work a normal job before?” she asked, incredulous.
Linda simply shrugged. “That’s exactly why she’s Ms. West. Not everyone functions on the same level.”
“Enough chatter,” their manager cut in. “When she arrives, make sure she’s taken care of. No mistakes, no slip-ups.”
With those orders, the entire design department braced themselves, preparing for what felt like a battle.
Less than twenty minutester, a suddenmotion at the entrance caused a stir.
Janice grabbed Dawn by the arm, pulling her up and whispering urgently, “You’re already close with her, right? Go on, you handle this!”
Dawn was caughtpletely off guard.
Before she could protest, she was pushed forward, stumbling slightly until she found herself standing directly in front of Roxanne.
Her eyes swept over Roxanne’s carefully chosen designer heels, the sleek ck stockings, and the impably styled outfit that made her look almost like a porcin doll.
Roxanne smiled warmly. “Dawn, we meet again.”
“Uh, hey,” Dawn managed, straightening her posture and shooting Janice a quick re.
Roxanne’s enthusiasm was even greater than expected. She waved her hand with the confidence of a seasoned host. “I’m just here to observe. Everyone, continue with your usual work. Don’t let me influence you at all.”
The designers exchanged uncertain nces but soon returned to their desks, trying to focus.
“Dawn, where do you sit?” Roxanne asked, her tone casual but with an edge of familiarity.
Dawn pointed to her spot, and Roxanne strolled over as if she belonged there.
Janice frowned, watching the interaction with confusion. “Seriously? You two are that close?”
Dawn herself couldn’t quite figure out what Roxanne’s game was. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward and addressed her.
“Roxanne.”
“Hmm?” Roxanne looked up from flipping through design sketches, a smile ying on her lips. “I knew your style wasn’t so one-dimensional. Come on, show me what you’ve been hiding. Let me see your best work.”
This level of familiarity made Dawn uneasy.
She forced a polite smile. “What exactly would you like me to exin? I can walk you through any part.”
“You,” Roxanne said simply.
Dawn blinked, stunned.
She froze, searching for words but finding none.
Yet Roxanne’s expression was serious, her gaze intense and unwavering. Within her eyes, a spark of genuine interest flickered. “You’re the person I’m most curious about right now. I want to understand what kind of person can create so many outstanding designs.”
Dawn pressed her lips together, a small smile tugging at the corner. “Ms. West, you’re quite the joker.”
Interested in her?
Roxanne was definitely not bored.
Either Dawn was standing in her way, or there was something deeper behind all this.
From everything that had happened yesterday, despite Roxanne’s casual demeanor, Dawn didn’t truly believe she wanted to be friends.
Roxanne’s smile widened, her eyes gleaming with meaning. “I’m serious. Getting to know an interesting designer is way more fun than closing another business deal.”
Dawn sensed something off about those words but couldn’t quite put her finger on the hidden meaning.
Now that the partnership was official, Roxanne was their client.
Whether or not to let her in didn’t seem like a real choice.
Dawn lowered her gaze. “Alright then, Ms. West. Please feel free to guide me.”
For the rest of the day, Roxanne stayed relentlessly by Dawn’s side.
Around others, she maintained a serious, professional air—the perfect corporate executive. But when they were alone, she transformed into a curious child, tracing every detail back to its origin.
Dawn answered her questions patiently, all the while secretly hoping this heiress would satisfy her curiosity soon and stop hovering.
But it was clear that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.
At the end of the workday, Roxanne’s assistant arrived to pick her up.
Roxanne winked yfully at Dawn. “See you tomorrow.”
Dawn was left speechless.
She watched as Roxanne stepped into the elevator, then slumped into her office chair, utterly drained.
Janice approached with a sympathetic smile, handing her a bottle of water and shaking her head. “Is Ms. West into women or something? Why else would she be so fixated on you? I really think she likes you.”
Dawn epted the water and gave Janice a sideways nce.
“If only she actually were into women,” she muttered quietly.
“Huh?” Janice asked, confused.
Dawn didn’t borate, just sighed softly as she took a long drink.
So far, she had no idea what Roxanne was truly after. Beneath the seemingly friendly interaction, there was definitely an underlying intention toplicate things.
Why?
Could it be that Roxanne had stolen Ethan from her?
The thought amused Dawn, and she shook her head, standing up.
“Whatever her reasons, I’m done for today. Tomorrow’s problems can wait until tomorrow.”
She headed downstairs to her car.
The parking garage was dimly lit andpletely empty, the silence pressing in around her.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Taking a deep breath, she answered, “Hello?”Conclusion
