Chapter 1551 It Is Just An Excuse

Denise had been attentively listening. After Waylon's departure, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked Johanna, “Johanna, can I assist you when the time comes for this project?”

“I'm not entirely sure about the design direction yet.”

If it were a matter of following fashion trends, coming up with trendy designs would come naturally to Johanna. However, designing attire for a tea brand was a field she hadn't delved into before.

Johanna explained, “I had a conversation with Ms. Rachford. Your role will be to accompany Yvonne to the Broburgh Film Festival and assist with her styling.”

“Sure thing.” Denise nodded in agreement.

As Denise gathered the tea set, she found herself compelled to continue, “Last night, Timothy arranged for red velvet roses to be delivered, and he also arranged for a band. He's genuinely keen on having a romantic candlelit dinner with you. Denise, I truly have no interest in Timothy. He's simply not my type.”

Denise felt an urge to intervene, despite knowing she should avoid meddling too much. She went on, saying, “That interviewee earlier got scared off by Timothy, and he's the one who arranged for me to work with you.”

When Johanna heard that, her lips curved into a faint smile as she responded, “I didn't realize at first, but the pieces fell into place when you joined. We've only crossed paths twice, with years in between. How coincidental is it that you appeared for a job interview at my studio?”

Back at Quincey's condominium, there was a telling incident. When Denise arrived, Timothy didn't even spare her a glance, indicating that they were still in contact.


That was why he was not surprised by the presence of Denise and ignored her.

Denise quickly explained, “Timothy isn't trying to keep tabs on your life. He's genuinely concerned about you. He's afraid that if things sour between you two, another man might come and sweep you away.”

Johanna's reaction didn't seem to indicate that she took Denise's words seriously. In a warm tone, she redirected the conversation. “Why don't you wash the teacups and bring them upstairs? I have a task for you to take care of.”

“Of course,” Denise responded with a resigned sigh.

During the weekend, Denise accompanied Yvonne and others to the Broburgh Film Festival. Meanwhile, Johanna decided to take a day off and headed to a hot spring resort with Genevieve and a few of the children.

With Lucian looking after the younger siblings, Genevieve left Armand at home.

After enjoying some time in the hot spring with the kids, Genevieve and Johanna settled under a shaded umbrella by the shore. They sipped on juice and engaged in conversation.

Taking a few sips of her fruit tea, Genevieve inquired, “Has Timothy returned?”

“Not yet.”

“He's been away for three days now. By this time, he should've cooled off after his trip,” Genevieve remarked, her lips pursed. She then asked Johanna, “Haven't you at least tried to call him once?”

Rubbing her temples, Johanna replied, “I've been occupied with designing clothes for Mr. Saafield's friend's tea brand. Other matters have taken precedence.”

“Is that really the case? Even if it's just a simple call while having a meal, you could have reached out. It seems like you're avoiding it intentionally and using 'being busy' as an excuse.”

However, Johanna's deal with Waylon indirectly benefited two of the company's artists, so Genevieve couldn't complain.

Genevieve had initially contemplated taking Johanna's phone and sending Timothy a message in her style, urging him to return before addressing any other concerns. However, she decided against it, deeming it inappropriate.
