"May I know when Miss Nat is free?" Lucy had waited for an hour, but Tris still wasn't here.
Lucy could only ask Nat's assistant. The assistant turned to look at Lucy. She knew that Lucy was a minor celebrity.
However, there were many celebrities looking for Tris. She couldn't meet every one of them, nor could she accept every commission.
As a top designer, she obviously had her own style.
If everyone had her designs, they would become roadside goods.
However, if some people had them and some didn't, she would become more popular.
As for minor celebrities like Lucy, even if she managed to meet Nat, she wouldn't ask him to design a dress for her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lucy. Mr. Nat is currently working. He's not free."
Lucy looked displeased. Since he arranged to meet her at this time, why didn't he come to see her after so much time had passed?
Could even a fashion designer look down on her like this?
Anger rose in Lucy's heart. She said with a cold expression, "If that's the case, I'll go back first."
Lucy suppressed her anger. This wasn't a place where she could act presumptuously.
This was the baron's residence. If she made a scene here, she might have to buy a plane ticket back to Australia.
"Miss Lucy, I think you should wait a little longer. Mr. Nat's work will be over soon."
"My time is precious. I don't want to wait here."
"Mr. Nat's time is already arranged. Miss Lucy, he already postponed his other clients to see you. If you leave now, it'll be very disrespectful to him."
"So he's respecting me by making me wait here for an hour?" Lucy said with a cold expression.
Lucy didn't want to waste any more time with the assistant. She turned to leave the room.
When she reached the door, she saw Nat late.
"Miss Lucy, where are you going?"
"I'm leaving. Since Mr. Nat is so busy, I won't disturb you any longer," Lucy said, suppressing her anger.
With a calm expression, Knight took out the folded handkerchief from his chest and sniffed it in front of his nose. He pretended to say, "Miss Lucy, I just met a very important person, but I still took the time to come see you. Do you know how much I've lost? But now that I'm here, you want to leave. You're disrespecting me. "
"Mr. Knight, I've been waiting for you for an hour! An entire hour, and then you tell me that I disrespected you? "Lucy lost control and her voice rose a lot.
"I've already told you that I was accompanying a very important person just now. If you can't understand, then I won't force you. But if you leave here, then you'll be blacklisted by the baroness. Think about it yourself."
"I'm the Baroness's special guest tomorrow. I'm afraid you don't have the right to blacklist me." Lucy sneered.
"Do you think a special guest is a very important person? I'm one of the people who recommended special guests, and you're just one of the special guests. Even if you're gone, there'll be someone else to replace you. "Knight sneered.
Just then, Zola heard the argument outside and walked out. "What's going on? It was so noisy that I could hear it from my room. "
As soon as he saw Zola, Knight immediately turned from his previous arrogance to a timid and helpless little bird.
He stuck to Zola coquettishly. "Zola, this little celebrity thinks that I wasted her time by accompanying you just now. Now she's throwing a tantrum."
Lucy's expression changed. Before she came, she already knew that this mature woman before her was the baroness's boss.
"Ms. Zola, I want to explain." Lucy was a bit flustered.
Offending Knight was a small matter. No matter how outstanding he was, he was only a fashion designer.
Even if he didn't design for her, would she not have any clothes to wear?
But Zola was different. She was a real bigwig in Hollywood.
It could be seen from the invited guests at the show tomorrow that she was the least famous and most important one.
And the reason why Lucy was able to get this job opportunity was because her agent had stuffed money into her.
Her appearance fee for this job was $250,000, but for this opportunity, her manager had bribed her with $100,000.
Both she and her manager valued this chance to get close to Zola.
But now, things didn't go as they wished. Not only did they not get close to Zola, they even offended her.
Zola waved her hand. "I don't want to care about your argument, but please keep your voices down. I have an important guest here, and someone is rehearsing at the front desk. I don't care who keeps arguing, but please get out."
With that, Zola left the scene.
After Zola left, Knight returned to his arrogant self. "Did you hear that? You're not welcome here. Please leave. "
Lucy clenched her teeth. She had nowhere to vent her anger and walked out of the mansion with a cold expression.
But when she reached the parking lot, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She broke down and cried on the steering wheel.
She felt like it was the end of the world. The whole world had turned gray.
She had been working hard in Hollywood for almost a year, but she was always one step away from success.
Now, she'd offended a real bigwig.
As long as Knight said something unpleasant to the baroness's boss, she might completely lose her chance.
Lucy didn't know what to do now. She felt like she was done for. Completely done for.
When she returned to Australia, she wouldn't be greeted by flowers or applause.
All the newspapers would list out her history of failures, and then she would be watched by the whole nation.
The stronger a person was, the more they would lose control when they broke down.
Lucy had once thought that she could take any pressure.
But when it came down to it, she realized how fragile she was.
Lucy cried louder and louder, but no one could hear her here.
She could release her grievances and unwillingness as much as she wanted.
Knock, knock, knock.
Just then, someone knocked on the car window.
Lucy was stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw two people standing outside.
Chen Zhao and Fali stood outside Lucy's car. Chen Zhao bent down and looked at Lucy inside.
"Lucy, what happened?"
Lucy hurriedly wiped away her tears, but her makeup had already been used up.
"Nothing, I'm fine." Lucy's voice was still choked with sobs.
"Lucy, if there's anything, just say it. We won't tell anyone," Fali said.
Seeing a crying woman in the dark parking lot, Fali felt that she must have been greatly wronged.
