Kenneth comforted her with a smile. "Aunt Margery, don't be angry. It's not good for your health. I'll take care of it."
Margery looked at him and questioned, "Will you be able to solve this in an hour?" For so many years, she had been very happy to work with Eden. Now that there was a new worker who was always slowing down her work progress, she was very annoyed. She had to balance her work and personal life, as she had two children to take care of.
Kenneth smiled and replied, "I promise to solve this!"
"Well, I'm relieved to hear you say that. I'll head down first. When it's ready, ask someone to send it to me."
"Okay, Aunt Margery, why don't you go get some rest now. Don't be so angry. If you fall ill, the company will be in a mess."
"If you don't want everything to become a mess, then find someone who is more talented. You have to learn from your father. Don't employ someone whom you can't trust, and fully trust your employees."
After saying that, Margery turned around and left.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Kenneth's, but rather, she didn't believe in Faith's abilities.
It had been almost half a year since Faith had been hired as a designer of the Alwynn Group.
If one couldn't keep up with their work, they would drag the entire company down and make them lose their opportunity. A company as big as this, with so many employees waiting for their salary, would still go bankrupt.
Faith noticed that Kenneth's warm expression was gone, and in place was a cold one.
When Margery was next to him, it was as if he had been as warm and gentle as he was with Raelynn. She had never seen him show her that side before.
"Miss Mason, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and deal with it." His tone was very cold and domineering, making it hard for Faith to breath.
Faith's expression fell. She had no idea how she could fix this at all, and given just an hour's time, she couldn't accomplish this task.
The clothes were made by another designer. What should she do?
As soon as she started altering it, everyone would definitely notice something odd. The designers here were all professionals, they would definitely notice the mistake.
She had a conflict with the other party, and never thought that they would pull the rug beneath her like this.
She wouldn't pay the rest of the money.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kenneth. My hand is injured. I'm afraid I can't accomplish the task." She lowered her head, and her long eyelashes blocked the emotions in her eyes. Her hands were clenched together.
Kenneth looked at her assistant, Lauren, and said, "Gather all of the designers here."
"Yes, Mr. Kenneth." Lauren quickly left.
A few minutes later, all the designers from the women's clothing design department arrived in Faith's office. When they saw Kenneth there, they began staring openly.
Raelynn stood right at the front.
Kenneth looked at all the designers and pointed to the red dress and gold threads of the model next to Faith. "Who can put the gold threads on this dress in an hour?"
Faith had not expected Kenneth to act like this.
All the designers looked at each other. They looked at each other in silence and did not speak. The last part of the gold thread was done by hand.
It would be extremely difficult. Without experience of at least ten years, it was impossible.
Moreover, it had to be done in an hour. No one dared to try.
Of course, if one had the courage to try and succeed, they would be rewarded for their efforts.
Raelynn actually already knew the whole process. She looked at Kenneth with clear eyes, and there was always a little caution in them.
"Mr. Kenneth... Mr. Kenneth, may I have a try?"
No one expected that Raelynn would be the one to stand up.
Kenneth looked at her careful movements with a faint smile in his eyes. "Miss Edwards, are you sure?"
Raelynn answered, "Mr. Kenneth, I'm very sure! When I was abroad, I learned this technique from an old master. I know how to do it."
She had done it before. If she hadn't at least done it once, she wouldn't have dared to volunteer.
She had created a specially designed princess gown for a little girl, with gold lace and gemstones sewn into it.
Everything had been done by hand, and it was definitely not cheap, but it was extremely beautiful.
The stunning red dress in front of everyone also had a unique cutting. Its design was one of a kind, and it looked both mature and eye-catching. With the golden lace to accentuate the red dress, it would look even more stunning.
It was both visually pleasing and extremely creative. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The hem of the skirt was adorned with peonies sewn with golden thread, and it was beautiful.
"Okay, I'll give you an hour. After that, I need it to be completed." Kenneth believed that she could do it.
After all, she was good at what she did.
However, when he thought of her injured hand, he couldn't help but worry.
"No, Mr. Kenneth," Faith said without thinking.
Kenneth looked back at her and asked in a serious tone, "Why not?"
Faith looked at Raelynn and said sharply, "Mr. Kenneth, Raelynn is a new designer. She can't touch the clothes I've designed. What if she butchers them?"
Kenneth asked, "Why not? You can't do it now."
"I..." Faith was anxious for a moment. She only wanted to prevent Raelynn from stealing her credit, and couldn't come up with an excuse for it.
"Mr. Kenneth, do you want the workers in the factory to do it? They are more professional."
Kenneth looked at her coldly and said, "As the director, aren't you supposed to lead the other designers on their journey to a further destination? If you can't accomplish something, why can't someone else who is capable do it instead?"
"Mr. Kenneth, I'm just saying that Miss Edwards is new here, her skills probably aren't up to par with the masters in the factory..."
"Shut up. It will take more than an hour to find a master who has time to come here from the factory. Do you still have time to wait around?"
Faith paused. Would he not give her this little time?
"Mr. Kenneth, as long as I have one more hour, I can make this dress complete."
Kenneth asked, "Isn't your hand in pain?"
"Do you want everyone to wait for you because of your mistakes?"
"Do you know how many hours the photographer and director have to work every day?"
"I..."
Kenneth didn't listen to her. Instead, he turned to Raelynn and said, "Miss Edwards, take the dress to your office. I want to see a complete dress in an hour."
Raelynn nodded. "Yes, Mr. Kenneth."
Kenneth looked at the designers and ordered, "Everyone, leave now."
Faith bit her lower lip hard. One mistake had caused her image to fall in front of Kenneth.
D*mn you, Raelynn!
The other designers left her office.
Raelynn quickly returned to her office with the dress and gold threads. She didn't want to take Faith's credit, but after knowing about Faith's true intentions, she had to help, especially when she was Kenneth's girlfriend.
