It was indeed 5 million dollars.
Mandy curled her lips, taking a moment to think. She then silently put down the contract. The price of this order was much higher than the first order she had received when her career had begun.
"I'm sorry, Janet. In fact, if the client is offering this much, I'm willing to design clothes even for the elderly."
"Money makes the mare go. I think Janet is a practical person. This price is so high that I'll agree even if I'm asked to make shroud."
"Some people are just jealous because they can't get such an order."
Her colleagues' mockery and sarcasm were upsetting to hear. Mandy glanced at the crowd; the anger she felt was evident in her face. "It seems that you have too much time on your hands. Don't you all have work to do? Otherwise, I can easily tell Draco to fire all of you!"
Mandy's anger scared half of her colleagues, who gave each other awkward glances before dispersing.
Janet and Elizabeth exchanged a smile.
Janet helped Hannah sit down. Taking her hand into her own, Janet told her, "Don't talk about leaving again. You didn't do anything wrong. You shouldn't let those villains' schemes succeed."
Hannah nodded her head slowly, agreeing immediately.
Janet turned to Mandy, whose face was still as red as a tomato, and asked calmly, "Is Hannah qualified to stay now?"
"She is your client. It's none of my business whether she stays or not." Mandy smiled awkwardly. She turned around and was about to go back to her seat, but suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. Turning around, she met Janet's stare, trying to decide her words carefully. "Have you ever considered how an old woman in shabby clothes could give you 5 million dollars? It seems strange, so be careful about being cheated. There are so many swindlers these days. They pretend to be rich old people in their seventies and eighties so people aren't wary of them. Keep your eyes open and watch out."
Janet sighed. She didn't want to have this argument with Mandy, so she said, her tone unchanging, "It's none of your business. You're not going to receive the money and even if it is a scam, you won't be the one to pay for it."
Mandy's eyes lit up as her eyebrows raised in irritation. She insisted, "I really think that this woman is a fraud. You have to contact the client who's going to pay the money or I will call the police. I don't want the W Marks Studio to be involved in such a fraud. "
Mandy's threat left Janet speechless. She wanted to laugh in her face but instead, she gave her a calculated smile, replying frankly, "Stop it, Mandy. That's enough. Stop playing such childish tricks."
