Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 278

278 Can | Learn How to Design from You?

Everyone became serious and stopped talking.

The owner of the factory was a middle-aged businessman who seemed to be very shrewd. He glanced at Andrew awkwardly and said, "What's the matter, Mr. Cooper? What's wrong with these clothes?’’

Andrew widened his eyes and said, "Don't you notice that? Look at how the lapels on this one are messed up! Plus, the stitching is extremely poor. If we sell such clothing, it will be a disgrace to our company. You're humiliating us!"

The owner became even more awkward.

Anna quickly yanked Andrew's sleeve and said, "Okay, fine. Allow me to speak with the boss.”

"Hello, young lady. I've never seen you before.” The boss pushed his glasses up and sized Anna up.

Anna had never been here before because it used to be the designers’ task to come to the factory.

Mona, who was standing beside them, introduced Anna to him, "This is Miss Anna Gabriel, the chairman of the Gabriel Group."

The boss exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! You're the chairman? | have no idea that you turned out to be so young. Please forgive me for ignoring you just now.”

"It's alright," Anna said. Then she told Andrew to step aside and then began talking with the boss.

"Sorry, Andrew was a bit aggressive. The client asked us to deliver the clothes in a month, so we didn't dare to make a mistake. Please accept our apologies.”

The boss also appeared embarrassed and said, "Sorry, it's entirely our fault. | was away on business in Leeds the other day. You know, | just got off the plane. And | didn't anticipate such a serious problem.”

"Well, you're a reasonable person. Besides, you know how important this contract is. If you do your best in the first place, you won't have to rework the products. Otherwise, it would be a huge waste of time and money.”

Anna pointed out a finger before saying, "We will recalculate the money if you finish early. I'll give you 5% more money if you can finish a day early and the clothes are of good quality. It is 10% if it is two days.”

"If it's 10 days, then it's..." said the owner as he continued counting.

He then came to a halt and smiled at Anna. It was clear that he was well-versed in the rule.

Anna knew that if she wanted to do business with someone, she should just negotiate the terms with them directly.

In fact, Andrew's ferocity and her gentleness were part of a plan they had discussed on the road. Otherwise, the factory owner would think they were idiots that were easy to fool with.

It was already evening when they left the factory, and then Anna went home.

She dropped Andrew and Mona off at their places on the way. Since one of Anna's villas was vacant, she agreed to let Andrew stay there.

Mona exclaimed when they arrived at Andrew's door, "Andrew, can | study design with you?”

Anna looked in her rearview mirror and saw Andrew furrow his brow and inquire, "Huh? Why?”

"Well, because | like it.”

"You can't just do whatever you want because it’s fun. Have you ever studied clothing design before?"

"No," Mona looked embarrassed.

Mona had always been very calm. However, it was the first time that she looked uneasy.

Andrew then walked out of the car and shut the door.

She assumed Wayne would be home by now, but no one was there.

The moonlight shone through the thin curtains on the floor, creating an eerie atmosphere in the living room.

At that precise moment, Anna heard someone walking out of Matthew's room.

"Wayne, is that you?” Anna inquired, alarmed.

Just as she finished speaking, she noticed a man in the doorway holding a chainsaw. Plus, there was scarlet liquid on the floor dripping from the chainsaw.

Anna recalled some horror movie episodes at that point and remembered the wanted notice she had seen downstairs the day before.

The wanted notice said that a serial killer had recently escaped from prison. As a result, the Birmingham police warned everyone to stay alarmed and contact them if they found someone suspicious.

Anna widened her eyes and shouted, "Matthew! Tammy!"

The man then slowly walked out of the room. Anna picked up a potato from the floor and held the door handle with her other hand.

Despite her fear, she tried hard to remain calm.

Maybe Wayne and the kids aren't home and nothing had happened. Or, perhaps this man has just broken into my house...

At that moment, the man walked out of the room.

Anna immediately threw the potato in her hand at that man, opened the door, and ran for her life.

Then Anna heard a muffled grunt and a chainsaw falling to the ground. The sound of that loud bang haunted her like a ghost.
