Simone thought she had given a clear indication that Mrs. Lamont would understand, but what would the Lamont family think? Would they like Carmella? Cathrine seemed kind, but her words were subtle, distant and friendly, and it was difficult to understand. About half an hour later, Jonathan strolled down from upstairs. Carmella quickly turned her head to look. He was dressed in an off-white casual suit, handsome with a calm and elegant demeanor As he walked towards her, it felt like a god descending to earth. Her heart was racing and her palms were sweaty long before he was anywhere near her.
Jonathan, Cathrine hollered, “Mrs. Macclain and Ms. Macclain are here. Come over for a sec.
Jonathan turned his head, spotting Simone and her daughter in the living room. His brows raised slightly, a hint of surprise on his face.
“Mr. Lamont!” Simone stood up immediately.
Carmella also stood, her eyes bright and her expression even sweeter and softer, “Hello, Mr. Lamont!”
Jonathan came and sat on the sofa, his expression as aloof as ever, “What’s up?”
Simone said with a smile, We really appreciate you attending Carmella’s celebration party. Carmella wanted to personally thank you for your praise. If you have the time, Carmella would like to take you out for a meal.”
“Praise?” Jonathan cracked a small smile, “What has Ms. Macclain done that deserves my praise?”
Carmella’s smile faltered, looking at him in surprise. Simone also felt a heavy sensation in her heart, but forced a smile, “Mr. Lamont, you attended Carmella’s celebration party in person. I assumed you appreciated Carmella’s talent.”
“Celebration party?” Jonathan scoffed, “I was there for Estelle!”
Simone and Carmella’s faces darkened simultaneously.
Cathrine chimed in with a laugh, “Jonathan, didn’t you see Ms. Carmella on TV?”
“Do I look like I have the time?” Jonathan sneered, “But I do remember that Ms. Macclain’s designs didn’t make the cut at Snowy Studios, compared to Estelle’s. Then she was kicked out for plagiarism. Am I right?”
Carmella suddenly remembered that she and Estelle had submitted designs for Mr. Mayfield’s movie. In the end, the directors and producers only chose Estelle’s. And at that time, Jonathan was there!
Cathrine faked surprise, “Really? That happened?”
“And that’s not all!” Jonathan grinned, “Ms. Macclain’s own studio has been running at a loss for three consecutive years, struggling to find clients. Then she joined Mr. Tucker’s team, but got fired for not being able to please Yulia. So, what exactly is there for me to praise?”
Carmella’s face had turned pale, extremely embarrassed! She was seething with resentment, How did Jonathan know about her being kicked out by Yulia? It must have been Estelle who told him! Why was Estelle always out to get her, ruining her career?
Seeing Jonathan openly mocking Carmella, Simone said sternly. “Mr. Lamont, there are a lot of misunderstandings here. The situation is not as you see it Carmella left the team because Yulia and.” She suddenly stopped, thinking about Cathrine and the others protection of Estelle, so she didn’t mention Estelle’s name directly. “She was intentionally made things difficult for her, and she had no choice but to leave! She’s encountered a lot of difficulties before, but she never gave up. This time,
through a TV show, she finally got the chance to showcase her talent. If Mr. Lamont has time to watch the show Beauty’s Wardrobe, you’ll surely understand Carmella.”
Jonathan’s expression remained indifferent. He said slowly, “Whether she has talent or not, what does it have to do with me?”
