After hearing this, Serena was not angry; on the contrary, she raised her eyebrows and laughed.
“Really? When I was contacted by your agent, I was told that you were looking for a stylist. Apparently this is not what you were looking for, the mistake here is your agent’s. I think we should cancel the collaboration. Miss Tanzi’s agent, the contract signed by you is now cancelled. Please send the fine amount for contract termination to my credit card.”
With that said, Serena took Anna’s hand and greeted Francesca with a smile, “I thank you for terminating the contract. Anna, let’s go.”
Anna did not resist, and when Serena dragged her out, she was confused.
“What’s going on?”
Even Francesca’s agent was stunned; he did not expect Serena to have such a strong character, as if she did not care about her reputation, and did not put clients first.
He thought. That she would come and apologize in person, maybe take a bow or something.
Instead… he had underestimated her.
“This is the stylist you found for me? How dare you tell me her work is first class?”
“No Francesca, her work is really top-notch. Shelly is an outstanding stylist. You can check the internet to see her clothes. However… When she was abroad she seemed much more easygoing. Maybe. Francesca, could you be nicer to her?”
“This is ridiculous, a high-class woman like me should bend to the will of a small designer? Are you kidding? Besides, looking at this stylist, it doesn’t look like her work is even fashionable! Forget about her!”
“But… What about your dress for the press conference? It’s only a month away. I’ll find another designer…”
“Aren’t there other designers abroad? Why do you have to look for only one? Or just buy a dress for the occasion. What do I care about wearing his clothes? She thinks she’s so great, she has no idea how many people want to collaborate with me, and she dares to treat me like this. I’m going to sue her!”
“Sue her?” The officer blinked.
“That’s right. Didn’t she ask you to pay her for breaking the contract? We’ll take her to court and see if she dares to say that again!”

When Anna was dragged out of the room by Serena, she was very confused. It took her some time to realize what had happened and react, “That… Serena!”
She grabbed Serena and stared at her with wide eyes, “What… did you do?”
“You didn’t see it?” Serena replied in an indifferent tone.
“But by behaving this way we have offended her. She is extremely popular all over the country, she will never pay the fine money for the breach of contract! She is not a person to be provoked like this!”
“I know.”
“It’s all my fault, if I hadn’t been a minute late, all this wouldn’t have happened, I was very angry with her, but seeing what happened, there’s no benefit for you, I’ll apologize to her and everything will be settled.”
Having said this, Anna let go of Serena’s hand and turned around on her way to the dressing room.
Serena remained motionless in her seat, with her hands around her chest, and said coldly, “We just came out, do you want to go back in there?”
“You really don’t want to go back and work this out? This is our first job since we came back to Italy. If we miss this opportunity like this, what about future commission?”
“So you are afraid that this will affect future commissions. Whenever you meet people like this, you’ll be willing to put your head down, and you won’t even be angry to hear her say that you’re only good for tying her shoes?”
“Of course I’m angry!” Anna bit her lower lip angrily, “But it doesn’t matter even if I’m angry, we can’t live without money. And the price for this errand is very high. Serena…”
“Answer my question.” Serena sighed helplessly, “You were a minute late, weren’t you?”
Anna nodded.
“Did you apologize to her?”
“Yes, and I also paid her many compliments, but … She ignored me.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter much, because I was really late, even if it was only by a minute, I was really late, so I realized my mistake and apologized to her, but I didn’t expect…”
“You did not expect that she would not accept your apology, on the contrary she left you aside, and even questioned my identity after you called me, didn’t you?”
“Yes… But even though I got angry, I didn’t have the courage to confront her, you know how I am, I only have the courage to complain in front of you.”
After he had said this, Serena could not stop herself from laughing. She laughed angrily, and then reached out to touch her forehead, “Then you are responsible for complaining, and I am responsible for scolding those you complain about, okay?”
“But the list…”
“You know I have always been very casual about these matters. If I don’t carry out this order, I won’t lose much money. Besides, you were not looking for a stylist, but for a servant. We try to be nice, but that doesn’t mean we have to be submissive. So let’s go. Manuel is waiting for us at home.”
Serena then turned and went straight ahead. Anna had no choice but to follow her, but she was still very sorry: “Why do I always think it’s because of me? I knew I shouldn’t have called you, this way things would have been better.”
“Don’t worry, knowing her, even if you hadn’t called me, the situation would have gotten worse.”
Anna: “… Really?”
As they walked, a person stopped in front of Serena.
It was the assistant director, the same one she thought were fans just now, but Anna remembered him and immediately asked, “Assistant director, what can we do for you?”
The assistant director’s eyes lowered to Serena’s face. Her expression was completely different from the serious look before. He looked at Serena, smiling.
“I heard you are a designer back from abroad?”
Serena raised her eyebrows and nodded, “Good morning.”
“Ahahah, no need to be so formal. I think you have a pleasant presence. Would you like to be an actress? At the moment, we need a third woman for a female role. I’m not very happy with the actress we have now, mainly because her appearance doesn’t really fit the character. would you like to try?”
For anyone this opportunity would have been a godsend.
After all, she had arrived while rehearsals were already running, and as a result, the assistant director wanted her for a minor role. If she had been a young actress, she would have felt immensely lucky.
But for Serena it was a sad thing.
“Thank you for your kindness, but … I’m not interested, I’m very sorry.”
Hearing this, the assistant director had a disappointed look, “I see…,” But immediately replied, “Aren’t you a stylist? I know an actress who happens to be looking for a stylist. Are you interested?”
