My Mate Has Two Wolves

Catherine's POV

Lorelei was no longer as arrogant as before. She sat in front of me with a modest smile.

She said with politeness, "Ms. Wyatt, we had a little misunderstanding earlier, and I hope you were not mad at me. I was a bit hasty, only because I was in a rush for my performance."

I immediately smiled, "What happened is our company's fault. You don't have to say that."

"That's not true. I was too anxious and offended you!" Lorelei was eager to take the blame.

I didn't want to waste my time arguing with her. Anyway, it was all over.

"Ms. Pope, how may I help you?" I asked.

"Well, there is something. But I'm worried that I might offend you if I say it!" Lorelei immediately blushed.

"Just tell me."

Lorelei quickly told me the purpose of her visit, "Ms. Wyatt, I don't know if you've been paying attention to showbiz lately. Right now, no one is a match for you in showbiz."

I was stunned. "Oh? Since when did I have a place in showbiz?"

"You're not in the news, but for us female stars, you mean something. The launch you held last time was a huge success, and you've become famous after that. Your reputation is also very well-known. I heard that the price of asking you to design something has already gone up this high, right?" Lorelei immediately held up two fingers.

I looked at her with surprise and asked, "What does that stand for?"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"200 thousand dollars." Lorelei's words startled me.

"Who said that? I have never set a price. Is someone targeting me? If I charge so much for a single dress, I might as well retire!" I was amused by her expression and smiled.

"Is it not? I don't know where the rumors came from, but I've also heard that it's very difficult to get you to design a dress. Ms. Wyatt, here's the thing. You and I signed an agreement before. You still owe me ten sets of clothes, right? You're in a different position now, but according to the agreement, you are still my personal designer. I take that you will follow the agreement and make up for these ten sets of clothes, right?" Lorelei said with a smile.

I nodded. "Indeed. I was the one who signed the agreement, and I was obliged to fulfill my duty. When do you want them? I will draw up the designs as soon as possible for you to take a look."

"There's no rush. I'm not in a hurry. Ms. Wyatt, I have to say that my taste is so good. Although you were a newcomer back then, your design was very unique. I saw it right away!" Lorelei complimented me.

I just smiled, "You flatter me. I'm very grateful. If you are not in a hurry, I'll draw the designs for you in two months, and then you can come and have a look."

"Take your time!" Lorelei stood up with a smile on her face. "Then I will get out of your hair. I'm only here because of this, and I'm relieved to know that you'll still be my private designer. As for the price ... I assume that it will still be the same as before, right?"

I quickly nodded. "Of course. We will charge according to the agreement."

"Alright then. Ms. Wyatt, I know I can trust you. I hope we can cooperate happily. By the way, if your company holds any activities in the future, would you invite me as well? I don't need any appearance fee. Really, I just want to be part of it!" Lorelei said cheekily.

I was a bit speechless. I knew that she was only polite to me, because my identity was different now. If it were the same me, Lorelei wouldn't have been like this at all.

"We'll see. See you!" I didn't say yes directly.

After I sent Lorelei away, I went to Melinda's office.

I told Melinda my conversation with Lorelei, and Melinda was surprised. "Who told her that? We never put a price on your work."

I shook my head in distress. "I have no idea. If I charge 200 thousand dollars for a dress, I'll be rich in a couple of years!"

"A couple of years? You are rich already!" Melinda said with a smile.

I immedietely seid, "Melinde, stop meking fun of me. Cen you find someone to do some digging end see who is spreeding the rumors? It will herm my reputetion."

"Sure. I'll heve someone to look into it even if you don't esk!"

I noddad. "Indaad. I was tha ona who signad tha agraamant, and I was obligad to fulfill my duty. Whan do you want tham? I will draw up tha dasigns as soon as possibla for you to taka a look."

"Thara's no rush. I'm not in a hurry. Ms. Wyatt, I hava to say that my tasta is so good. Although you wara a nawcomar back than, your dasign was vary uniqua. I saw it right away!" Loralai complimantad ma.

I just smilad, "You flattar ma. I'm vary grataful. If you ara not in a hurry, I'll draw tha dasigns for you in two months, and than you can coma and hava a look."

"Taka your tima!" Loralai stood up with a smila on har faca. "Than I will gat out of your hair. I'm only hara bacausa of this, and I'm raliavad to know that you'll still ba my privata dasignar. As for tha prica ... I assuma that it will still ba tha sama as bafora, right?"

I quickly noddad. "Of coursa. Wa will charga according to tha agraamant."

"Alright than. Ms. Wyatt, I know I can trust you. I hopa wa can cooparata happily. By tha way, if your company holds any activitias in tha futura, would you invita ma as wall? I don't naad any appaaranca faa. Raally, I just want to ba part of it!" Loralai said chaakily.

I was a bit spaachlass. I knaw that sha was only polita to ma, bacausa my idantity was diffarant now. If it wara tha sama ma, Loralai wouldn't hava baan lika this at all.

"Wa'll saa. Saa you!" I didn't say yas diractly.

Aftar I sant Loralai away, I want to Malinda's offica.

I told Malinda my convarsation with Loralai, and Malinda was surprisad. "Who told har that? Wa navar put a prica on your work."

I shook my haad in distrass. "I hava no idaa. If I charga 200 thousand dollars for a drass, I'll ba rich in a coupla of yaars!"

"A coupla of yaars? You ara rich alraady!" Malinda said with a smila.

I immadiataly said, "Malinda, stop making fun of ma. Can you find somaona to do soma digging and saa who is spraading tha rumors? It will harm my raputation." 

"Sura. I'll hava somaona to look into it avan if you don't ask!"

Just as we were chatting, the assistant knocked on the door, entered, and said at once, "Melinda, Catherine, we've just got several calls from agents. A couple of A-list female stars want to work with Catherine."

"What?" My hands holding the glass could not help but tremble. "No way! Why would they still come to me? Are they really going to pay 200 thousand dollars for a dress?"

Melody raised her hand and said to the assistant, "Got it. Bring the details to me later. Don't reply for now, and don't turn them down either!"

After the assistant left, Melinda snorted, "These big stars are all secretly competing with each other. Now they have finally found a platform for them to compete. They will want to work with you desperately. If they can work with you, it will be something for them to show off."

"I just don't get it. Are they willing to spend this kind of money just to compete? Won't it be too easy for me to earn a big fortune?" I was simply shocked. The world of stars was so incomprehensible.

"You're right. You became well-known overnight. We held a launch last time, and King Blake invited several big shots to support you. Everyone knew that they were there because of you. So, in those stars' eyes, your design is indeed worth the amount," Melody smiled and explained to me.

I sighed. "I used to think that making money was very difficult. Even if I doubled my efforts, I may not be able to get the same return. But now it seems that I was wrong. Earning money turns out to be so easy. There is no justice in this world, is there?"

"Don't be so emotional. Since they have reached out to you, maybe you should sit down and meet with them. Maybe your day has finally arrived," Melinda said.

"Melinda, is it a good idea for me to make their money this way?" I hesitated.

"Do you have any idea how much these female stars make for a scene? They charge a sky-high price, OK? If you earn their money, you can give it to charity if you want. Isn't that a way to repay society?" Melinda took a sip of coffee.
