Chapter 37 Five Years Ago It Was Bronte

An hour later, Tiffany showed up at Leon's office. She stood there for a good ten

minutes, but Leon, sitting in his chair, didn't say a word.

Tiffany was sure Leon was giving her the cold shoulder on purpose.

"Mr. Cooper, what's wrong with the design draft?" Tiffany asked, clearly annoyed.

Leon finally stopped flipping through his files, squinting at her with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Tiffany, weren't you planning to leave Harmony City? Why start a studio?" he asked, calm as ever.

Tiffany felt a pang of guilt and touched her nose. No way she could tell Leon she stayed because she found Barry.

"Why do you care?" Tiffany shot back with a chuckle.

Leon tightened his grip on his pen, his gaze turning icy. "Tiffany, the company's fashion

show is in a week, and your designs are the highlight. This event can't afford any mistakes, yet you handed me all the drafts in just one day. How can I be sure there won't be any issues on the day of the event?"

Tiffany almost laughed out of frustration. Was Leon doubting her skills?

But he was her client in this deal, after all. Plus, the contract said any issues could be discussed with her later.

If she'd known Leon would be this much of a hassle, she wouldn't have agreed to work with him for just ten million dollars.

Tiffany took a deep breath. "So, what are you trying to say?"

"You need to be at the event. As long as it goes off without a hitch, our collaboration is done."

Another task? Was he expecting her to work for free?

Leon noticed her hesitation. He put down his pen, tapped the table lightly, and looked straight at her. "Tiffany, your studio is new. It's good to get some recognition. But if this event goes wrong, how do you think it will affect your reputation? On the other hand, if it goes well, it benefits you too, right?"
