Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 666

In no time at all, they had reached Nanette's dressing room. Mr. Malcom, the deputy director, led Estelle in, grinning widely. "Ms. Waldo," he announced, "meet your new assistant, Estelle. She's a bit new to this line of work, so if there's any hiccup, just let me know. And please, don't chastise her. She's quite shy."

Nanette looked at Malcom with a sarcastic smile. "Why the sudden interest in an assistant, Mr. Malcom?"

Her voice had a hint of ambiguity. Estelle, however, stayed silent, her eyes fixed on Nanette.

Feeling the need to explain, Malcom replied swiftly, "It's on Mr. Mayfield's instructions. Estelle has a knack for design, and Mr. Mayfield seems to favor her."

His words carried an unspoken warning for Nanette to tread carefully, given Mr. Mayfield's standing.

With a smug smile, Nanette responded, "Understood!"

Malcom provided a few more directives to Estelle before leaving to attend to his own duties.

In the dressing room, two other assistants were helping Nanette get ready for the shoot. Nanette threw a glance towards Estelle. "Don't just stand there. Fetch me some water; I'm parched."

Complying, Estelle took Nanette's cup and filled it with warm water, bringing it back to Nanette with a straw and placing it on the table.

Nanette took a quick sip and abruptly placed the cup back on the table. "This is too hot. I prefer it cold," she declared.

Estelle went out and quickly returned with a bowl of ice, pouring it all into Nanette's cup.

Nanette frowned, "I just remembered that my period is about to start, I can't be drinking cold water. Go change it to something hot!"

The other two assistants knew Nanette was intentionally giving Estelle a hard time, but they simply watched with glee, saying nothing.

Estelle didn't say anything either, she took the iced water away and quickly returned with another cup of hot water.

Nanette took a sip, blew out from her mouth, "How am I supposed to drink this?! You might be new to the assistant gig, but have you no common sense? You wanna scald me to death?!"
