Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 121

"You'll get everything you need to work on it, but you won't be allowed any other assistance. It'll be just you, Sylvie." He further explained, adding to Sylvie's fright. "Do you think it's something you can do? You can tap out." How could he give her such an impossible challenge? Even with assistance, Sylvie doubted she'd be able to accomplish it within the given timeframe. Unless they'd have to work nonstop around the clock.

Tears stung at the corners of her eyes as she met his gaze. His eyes were as chilling and shadowy as always, but she could see a hint of dark amusement in them. Then, it dawned on her-he wanted to watch her lose, wanted to give her hope so close she could smell it, but it'd be futile that she'd be forced to walk away from it. He wanted to watch her 'give up. Wanted to watch her crumble.

And based on the ridiculous terms he's given to her, that should be really easy for him to achieve.

"I'll do it." Her eyes were on the screen as she spoke.

If Kage was surprised, he didn't show it.

He nodded, took a long drag from his cigar and blew the smoke in the air.

Sylvie was taken to a fashion shop in the building. Apparently, Kage had to dismiss the people working there for the day so Sylvie could make use of their equipments. Kage insisted that in order to ensure she doesn't get any help, she'd have to work under his supervision.

In a couple of hours, every other thing she needed to work on the dress was provided to her, then she was left alone, leaving her to get into work.

Astrid had a scowl on her face as she entered into Sylvie's room. She didn't think she'd ever be doing this for the 'wretch, but her curiosity was getting the best of her.

She knew how difficult it was to please her grandfather. Hence, Astrid was shocked when she heard he'd complimented Sylvie's sketches. In addition, he deemed her fit to join them in a competition.

She had been sure that her half sister couldn't be good at fashion. So, now, she wanted to satisfy her curiosity.

Checking the room, it didn't take long before she found her sketchbooks, two of them.

She picked one of them, a frown on her face as she flipped through the pages.
