Chapter 1125
Carmella wasn’t really up for it, but she didn’t want to rub Finley the wrong way.
Her studio hadn’t been doing hot for a while, and Simone might cut her off any minute now. She knew she had to
hustle to keep it going.
After a moment of thought, Carmella flashed a sweet smile, “Alright, count me in.”
After they had dinner, they hopped in Finley’s ride and headed to the bar.
Carmella had a gut feeling she’d be paying some kind of price tonight just from sitting in Finley’s wheels. But when
they got to the VIP lounge at the bar, and Finley made a move under the influence, she couldn’t help but push back.
After falling in love with someone as outstanding as Jason, Finley seemed a lot less significant in her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarmella didn’t put up much of a fight, letting Finley get a bit of a free ride. Luckily, he was genuinely into her and
didn’t force anything.
When they came out of the bar, it was already 11 p.m., and by the time they arrived home, it was midnight.
Carmella was taken aback to find Simone still up. She quickly covered the mark on her neck with her clothes.
Being visibly beat, Simone didn’t really take a good look at Carmella, just asked, “Why so late?”
Carmella explained, “I was having a chat with a production team, and things ran a bit late.”
Simone perked up instantly, “Which one?”
“The one with that hit TV show going on. Their new leading actress isn’t digging their costume designer, so they’re
looking for a personal stylist, and they hit me up.”
Simone pondered, “Is it the one Gwen was in before she tried to kill herself?”
“Yep!”
“I remember their designer was Estelle, right?”
“Could be.” Carmella feigned uncertainty.
Simone was clearly stoked, “Who’s the new leading actress? Are you really gonna be her stylist?”
“Her name’s Yulia.”
Simone nodded right away, “I know her. She played a rich chick in a show I watched before. She’s a looker.”
“Exactly!” Carmella responded with a smile.
“Yulia’s got some good taste!” Simone was getting excited, “With you as her personal designer, you’ll be raking in
the big bucks.”
Carmella’s eyes dimmed a bit, but her smile was even sweeter, “Mom, the big deal here is getting to work with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYulia. Once I’ve got some experience and fame, the money will roll in.”
“Right, right! You’re absolutely right! Simone nodded in approval, holding Carmella’s hand, “I knew you had it in
you. Your studio’s bound to take off. Carmella, you’re amazing!”
Carmella gave a graceful smile, “I couldn’t have held out this long without your and dad’s support. When I make it
big. I’ make you guys proud!”
Simone nodded repeatedly, moved by the words, “Carmella, just go for it, your dad and I have got your back.”
“Thanks, mom! But,” Carmella’s smile faded a bit, “I feel a bit bad for my sister. She’s the team’s designer, and me
coming on board is like a slap in her face. It might embarrass her.”
Simone laughed coldly. “If she lacks the ability and is looked down upon by Yulia, what does it have to do with you?
Besides, when you were getting bullied at Snowy Studios, did she lift a finger to help? You don’t need to worry about
anything, your mom’s got this.”
Carmella smiled and held Simone tight, “Thanks, mom!”
“Carmella, you’re my precious girl. You’ve got to make me proud, outdo all the competition!”
“Don’t worry, mom, I won’t let you down!”
