Hello, CEO! Don’t Play With Me!

Justin is still fixing the wrong parts of his design. It doesn’t matter, he has plenty of free time in between his other activities. He also has plans to open a new branch of his boutique. Maybe after this year’s show is over. So all his energy and focus is temporarily on the show that he has to prepare for with ease.

“Maintaining achievements is difficult,” Justin slightly corrected the line on the arm. He thought for a moment before picking one of the colors that would work well together as an initial sketch. For the selection of colors on the fabric later, he had to discuss with the other teams to reach a common desire. Advancing SEO is not just on his shoulders. Justin wants everyone involved in SEO to work together to build and make this office big and unshakable. Including the welfare of employees and opening up as many jobs as possible.

“The easy one is snatching.” Justin let out a long sigh. He was reminded of the show that had unexpectedly gained so much popularity even though he could have predicted it. Giselle’s face, which was blessed with a beauty that mesmerized people, was one of the triggers besides the designs he made for last year.

The competition in his business is not non-existent; in fact, it is very strong, especially during the changing seasons. In addition to many fashion houses offering discounts and the latest designs, Justin’s rivals also often hold exhibitions with other top models.

“Sir,” Irena just walked in. There was no need to knock because she had a lot to report. After all, the boss didn’t close the door, a sign that he could be interrupted whenever his staff needed approval or discussion on a particular matter.

“What’s wrong?” asked Justin without turning around. His concentration was still on the drawing that was still being planned. But his head was already envisioning how this outfit would look in full form. Worn by the right person, and released to the public at the right time. Then… it was certain that what he had achieved with Giselle would be repeated. In fact, it might even skyrocket as SEO’s name becomes more publicly known.

“The factory was overwhelmed to handle the orders that came in a week ago. Lilith wanted them delivered immediately because there were so many orders.”

“No way,” Justin said firmly. “We do accept large orders for certain products, but those products are still under the auspices and supervision of SEO. We don’t want anything bad to happen even if the product is cheap. I don’t like the idea of disappointed people wearing SEO labels out there.”

Irena pursed her lips.

“You can’t give that reason?”

“I did, sir,” Irena sighed. She pulled up one of the chairs in front of Justin’s desk. “But for that very reason, I got yelled at by LIlith.”

The pencil Justin held, stopped carving lines on the sheet containing the final design that he would soon turn into a dress with a simple cut but representing once independent woman.

and loves freedom. “What did you say?” The pencil was placed on the side of his book. His face was no longer relaxed, his eyes sharp at the assistant who was looking down.

It seemed like that remark had angered Justin.

“Nothing. I didn’t say anything.” It would be better for Irena to get out of the room rather than listen to something unexpected, which might cause her heart to stop. Justin wasn’t one for waiting around and was happy to take big risks.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

This included breaking Giselle’s contract with a club that, according to Irena, was asking for a lot of money with such a fantastic figure. Irena’s persuasion about just replacing Giselle with another model ended in a long lecture and Justin’s dislike of her decision being challenged. Even though Irena knows that Giselle is beautiful and fits what she wants for the show, but…

Indeed, the results were unexpected.

“I’m not deaf yet, Irena. Once you speak, my ears can hear it even at a radius of tens of kilometers.”

Irena spluttered. “I already told Lilith’s side the reason. I know it’s outrageous but I think we should increase the production speed a bit. I’ve surveyed several places that produce products on a large scale, their targets are twice what we make in the factory.”

Justin gave Irena an annoyed look. “I don’t want to be argued about quality. I don’t want the SEO name to disappear in a short time. This is the last warning to Lilith, if their side is impatient and continues to insist on speeding up, even though the contract and during the initial discussion has been explained, we stop production for them. we still have a lot to do, right?”

“Justin!” Irena gasped in disbelief. “That’s very risky.”

Justin waved softly, asking Irena to leave his room. “Call Brina. I need news about Giselle during quarantine.”

Irena frowned. “I know about that.” She took out her cell phone. She showed Justin some portraits of Giselle with a figure that immediately made Justin smile.

“The two of them get along well even though they fight almost every day. I don’t know what they’re arguing about but there’s also a lot of fun between them.”

Since the phone was lying on the table, Justin could freely look at the many photos on it. His interest was piqued and his enthusiasm grew to finish the rest of the day’s work. Tomorrow, he was left to go to the factory to match the colors after a deal with the relevant team.

“She managed to get close to Harvey. But how did you get this news? Giselle never told me about her progress with Harvey.”

Irena shrugged. “I think Giselle has something going on over there.”

Justin nodded in understanding. “It doesn’t matter who gives me news like this. I can count on Giselle.”

“But Justin,” Irena straightened her back. The cell phone that had gotten her boss’s attention was back in her hand. Justin didn’t want the photos of the two beautiful girls Irena had gotten specifically from the assistant who had helped Giselle during quarantine. Irena was good friends with the girl and luckily, Daisy could be her informant.

Including her knowledge of the mysterious figure who often sends Giselle gifts. Irena guessed, it was all from Justin. Given the intimacy created between Giselle and her boss, it’s not impossible that they are secretly in a romantic relationship, right?

“But what?” Justin took out his cigarettes. Tucked one between his lips. He didn’t care if the room would be stuffy with cigarette smoke, he needed to relax for a moment before refocusing. To avoid anything chaotic, he carefully placed the design sheet in a drawer. Feeling it was safe, he lit the end of his cigarette.

“I got word from a trustworthy person about Harvey’s agency.”

“Oh, Fresh Fashion?”

“Yes.” Irena looked at Justin intently before starting to speak, although she was unsure whether she should say it or not.

“Monochrome suits Harvey, Irena. Do you doubt me moving forward?”

Irena shook her head firmly. “Absolutely not. But Harvey’s agency is notorious for using underhanded methods to release models. We have to prepare ourselves to spend a lot of money to get Harvey to join us. Especially since SEO’s name has been talked about a lot lately, right?”

Justin took one long drag on his nicotine stick. Then he puffed smoke in the other direction from Irena. He still had his manners when it came to smoking even though he knew Irena would still be affected by the smoke. But he was sure their conversation wouldn’t take long.

“A cunning person must be dealt with in a cunning manner, right?”
