The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 275

Chapter 275

Don was caught off guard, but he couldn't help chuckling, "Isn't Marian a designer too? Why not let her take the lead?"

Marian was the granddaughter of the Frost family, and it would be more

meaningful for her to personally take on a project that embodies her grandparents' love and dreams.

Martin just shook his head with a smile, "She's not the right fit."

Don laughed, "Don't want to work her to the bone, huh?"

Martin just chuckled and shook his head again, not going into detail.

He was a lot like Brandon in that sense.

Every time Don looked at those two, he felt like grabbing an iron bar to pry open their tight-lipped mouths. He wondered what kind of karma he had to end up with friends like these, each as tight-lipped as the next.

"What's really going on between you and Brandon? If she's not suitable, why can't you just spit it out? Every time Yolanda comes up, you all clam up like your lips are sealed."

Don was straightforward and can't hold his tongue. He just let it all out in a stream of consciousness.

Martin had no choice but to face him.

"Marian's design style is too out there, a bit too edgy for most people. My grandparents are more traditional and conservative. They can't wrap their heads around it."

He put it gently, not wanting to bad-mouth Marian's skills in front of Don.

Art was subjective, after all.

At first, he really wanted Marian to handle it, considering she was a grad from a prestigious school.

But after some back and forth, Martin had to admit, Marian wasn't up for it.

Her designs were modern and avant-garde, which to those with high emotional intelligence meant unique and innovative with a sophisticated aesthetic. But to the less charitable, it was a mishmash of bizarre, outlandish ideas.

Her grandpa, Louis, treated her like the real Yolanda, doting on her. Even though he didn't like her work, he would reluctantly support her, while secretly it pained him.
