Chapter 125: Irony (2)
A few months ago, she was travelling to another pack with Eve regarding a new project. It was a simple project, and yet somehow Eve had made everything rather complicated. Inez looked at the pointers that the client had asked her to change and felt her head throb.
’Did you even listen to what the client asked you the first time you went to see him?’ Inez asked. She felt frustrated and angry as she had to do the entire thing from scratch. This was not about making a change in the project. It was about changing the whole thing.
’I did, Eve replied while studying her newly done nails.
Furious, Inez closed the file in her hands and turned to look at the woman beside her. She said to her, ’No, you didn’t! If you had, then I wouldn’t have to change the entire damn thing. Do you even know how hard it is to make designs, Evelyn? I am not your fairy godmother who can summon things out of thin air!’
However, the woman next to her simply rolled her eyes and then took out a lip plumper from her bag. She pushed the wand two or three times in the vial and then said to Inez, ’You are overreacting. Though I admit that I may not have listened to exactly what that woman was yammering about, I did hear the gist of it.’
’No, you didn’t! That woman wanted a bedroom prepared for her eight-year-old daughter and not an eighteen-year-old. Which means that there was no need for the extra touch that you went ahead and added without letting me know,’ Inez hissed angrily. She wished she could turn back time and do this meeting on her own. That would have been so much better.
If not for the reputation that they had, the client would have definitely lost this deal. Inez wondered if Evelyn could even understand the importance of this deal. She turned to look at the woman who was studying her reflection in her compact mirror, and Inez was certain that she didn’t.
’Are you even listening to me?’ Inez asked with a hint of anger in her tone.
Evelyn rolled her eyes once again and then said to Inez, ’Why are you getting angry? You will do it anyway, won’t you? So what’s the point of wasting your time yelling at me? Use that to fix the fuck up that you made.’
