Not A Small-Town Girl

Chapter 21-3

Danielle waited for Jason to finish ranting. She had a bit of a bedhead from having just woken up, and she raised her eyebrows as she asked, "Who’s the other account?"

Her parents seemed to enjoy buying clothes in bulk, and they all happened to be designed by her. Danielle felt she would have to tell her parents the truth soon.

Jason lowered his voice to a near-whisper as he answered excitedly, "It’s Mr. Charrington, from Charrington Group. Do you think he’s got a girlfriend, that’s why he’s ordered so many pieces?"

Danielle was stumped.

Getting back to the matter at hand, Jason reassumed his demanding tone. "Danielle, whatever it is, you’ll have to send over part of your new design drafts.

We’ve still got other customers waiting, and I’ll have to rush production as well."

"I’ll send it over in a bit," Danielle agreed as she rubbed her forehead. Thankfully, she’d worked on her sketches in the past few days.

Now that the matter was settled, Jason was all smiles. "Your parents have a large part to play in our business success. Please help me to convey my gratitude to them."

Downstairs in the living room, the Darling household staff were still wrapping their heads around the sheer number of clothes, bags, and shoes that had been delivered. Danielle had just returned home for a few days, and Vivian and Howard already spared no expense.

Audrey had woken up earlier and was greeted by the heaps of shopping bags in the living room. "What’s all this?" she asked.

Vivian gushed, "Grace Group just released their new seasonal designs, so I bought all of them for Danielle and you. Those bags over there are yours. I’ll get one of the staff to bring them to your room in a bit."

Audrey compared the number of shopping bags for her and for Danielle, and was annoyed when she realized that her share was less. Still, she plastered a sweet smile on her face and said, "Thanks Vivian, I

love it. I love you and Howard, you guys are always so good to me.

"I’m blessed to have you as my parents."
