Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2991

Adelaide maintained her calm smile. “Our designers hold themselves to the highest standards. I guarantee that the blueprints we deliver in ten days will meet your satisfaction, Mr. Greco. In fact, if you were to work with another design firm, I'm sure it would take even longer—and I think you know that as well.”

Mr. Greco considered for a moment, then nodded with a resigned sigh. “Alright, ten days it is. I expect to see the blueprints when I return.”

“Absolutely!”

After escorting Mr. Greco out, Adelaide asked her assistant to send Edwina to her office. She greeted Edwina with a kind, welcoming smile. “Edwina Edgar Bishop!”

Edwina hurried in. “Good afternoon, Adelaide!”

“Take a seat,” Adelaide said, her voice gentle. She asked casually, “What did you think about me criticizing Emily during today’s meeting?”

Edwina’s eyes darted uncertainly, and she hesitated. “Emily is actually very capable. The real problem was just how tight the timeline was this time.”

Adelaide sighed. “It’s not that I’m being harsh—maybe I just had too high expectations for her.”

“I understand,” Edwina replied immediately.

Adelaide gave a touched smile. “I was afraid you all might think I was being too strict, or that I was picking on Emily.”

Edwina quickly shook her head. “No, no one thinks that.”

“I really just want what’s best for Emily. I push her because I want her to excel,” Adelaide explained.

“We all understand,” Edwina said.

“I’m glad you understand.” Adelaide smiled warmly. “But to be honest, Emily is a bit overrated. The people at Sterling Properties were furious, and I was the one who had to calm things down. If upper management were to find out, Emily would be facing more than just writing a report.”
