Chapter 192 You’re Good at Making Empty Promises
“I don’t care about your market price. I only talk about mates’ rate.” As if she was determined to rely on her, Courtney grabbed Cameron’s arm tightly. “At worst, I can treat you to roasted duck neck for a whole year.”
Even if you treat me for ten years, it won’t be enough for me to make a dress.” Cameron rolled her eyes. “This is no different from extortion.”
“Can’t you see that I’m poor? I’ve been to Citron Apparel. It’s just a small factory; an empty shell. The finances are in a mess and it’s short-staffed. If you don’t help me, which designer is willing to come? No matter how much I offer, people wouldn’t want to come too.”
“Hey, how dare you say that you’re poor…” Cameron looked disgusted. “Show me your bank account balance if you dare. Mine would probably only be a fraction of your total.”
“Are you going to help or not?” Courtney let go of her arm. “Otherwise, I’ll find somebody else.”
“I’ll help.” Cameron pouted. “Did I say that I won’t help? I’ll help even if you don’t pay me. After all, I’m tired of high fashion, and I want to look into the clothes that peasants like you wear.”
Finally, Courtney grinned and raised her two fingers. “After the company is listed, I’ll give you twenty percent of the restricted shares.”
“You’re good at making empty promises.”
Courtney was rendered speechless by Cameron’s comment.
In regards to Courtney’s request, Cameron wasn’t thinking of anything much since the beginning. She had her own studio and she sometimes signed project contracts with other apparel companies as an outsource. Relatively speaking, she had a pretty leisurely job. Now that her best friend wanted to start a business and it was something within her ability, of course, she had to help her.
Early the next morning, Cameron followed Courtney to Citron Apparel’s office.
The location was excellent. It was surrounded by the business district, and it was a three-story bungalow hidden among the tall buildings. After passing two alleys, they finally arrived at the location.
The one who showed them around was a handsome young man in his early thirties.
“This is the former head of Citron Apparel, Meliorn Kyle. This is my friend and our future chief designer, Cameron Miller.”
“Miss Miller, nice to meet you.”
“Just call me Cameron.”
