Chapter 1500
Kayla kept quiet.
’Are you calling me ugly?"
Stella smiled, ’My friend is straightforward, but she means no harm. Ms. Wilson, why don't you take my advice and see how it
turns out for you tonight? If it doesn't suit you, you can come back, and I'll do as you say, whether it's a refund or compensation."
Kayla looked at her, put her hand down, and said coldly, "Go ahead then."
So, Stella began removing all her excessive jewelry.
With each piece Stella removed, Kayla felt more uneasy. She was too used to wearing them and having them all taken off made
her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After Stella was done, she called over an assistant designer to help fix Kayla's hair. Then, she said, "Ms. Wilson, come have a
look."
Kayla stood up hesitantly and walked over to the mirror.
There were only ivory-white pearl earrings on her ears and a delicate silver necklace across her collarbone. She looked simple
yet elegant, completely different from how she was before.
She did not hate the look but found it difficult to adapt to. So, she instinctively reached out for the bangle next to her, but Stella
stopped her.
"Ms. Wilson, wearing more isn't always going to make you look better. Instead, excessive accessories can sometimes make you
lose your grace.
"A business banquet is not a fashion show; it does not require you to dress extravagantly. Pair these with a simple black fitted
dress and keep your hair as it is now. If anyone says you don't look good tonight, you're free to return here and trash our store."
Kayla pursed her lips and looked in the mirror for a while longer. Then, she turned to Stella and said, "It better turn out the way
you said it, or I won't let this slide!"
After saying that, she picked up her bag and left. Chris immediately went after her but could not persuade her to stay.
Chris came back and complained to Stella, "Ms. Hall, Ms. Wilson is one of our most important customers. Many socialites come
to our store because of her. She's literally our walking billboard. You shouldn't have taken such a gamble with her. Our entire
store will suffer if she gets angry with her looks tonight!"
Stella smiled, "Mr. Poole, it'll be my responsibility if I upset her and lose her as a customer. Your salary won't be affected, so you
do not need to be so anxious."
Her words left Chris utterly speechless.
Stella did not stay very long after Kayla left. She told Chris that she would come to look at the financial records the next time she
came and left with Felicity.
Chris could not help but scold Stella after they left, "She doesn't know anything, yet she's acting like she's all that. I can't believe
she fired Barbara on her first day here. Is Mrs. Saun really okay with someone like her taking over the company she built from
scratch?"
Aubrey said flatly, "Mrs. Saun wants you to cooperate and assist Ms. Hall in managing the company.’
Chris asked, "And how am I supposed to do that?"
Aubrey glanced at him, "You're a smart person. You don’t need me to say more, do you?"
Chris' eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled, "I got it.”
Aubrey left The Velvet and called Darcie to tell her everything that had happened earlier.
When Darcie heard Aubrey repeating Stella's words: "This is my family's business, and my dad is not going to care too much
about it. I can do whatever I want,’ a hint of sarcasm flashed across her eyes.
"How arrogant of her. Just ignore it. Arrange a gathering for me in these two days and tell everyone that my new beauty salon
will be in business soon, and I'd like to invite them to come."
