For the next few days, Janet was busy designing and sending the fabrics to the factory for Hannah's new clothes.
By the time she was back one day, she saw a truck outside the studio, carrying goods. There were men moving things out of the studio and into the truck.
"What are you doing moving the things from our studio?" Janet walked up to them.
One of them pointed at the studio and grumbled, "Go and ask the woman inside. She's the one who hired us to move things out!"
Janet immediately rushed in and saw a woman with short hair and black rimmed glasses standing atop a chair in the middle of the room.
She was about to ask the woman what was going on when Elizabeth suddenly stopped her.
"Calm down. It's just Mandy who is throwing a tantrum here, trying to take away all the things that she gave to W Marks, including the carpet, lamps, and even the desserts in the fridge. Looking around, Elizabeth walked Janet to her desk and made her sit down. "Let's just continue with our work and ignore that psycho."
Janet was rendered speechless. Glancing at the short-haired woman, she asked, "Who is she? Why didn't Mandy come herself?"
"It's Mandy Hamilton we're talking about. How could she come here to do the dirty work herself?" Elizabeth joked sarcastically.
She then raised her voice and continued, "Naturally, she would hire lackeys to do the dirty work for her.
Anyway, let them take everything, even the scraps. We don't want them accusing us of stealing their property."
The other designers in the room burst into laughter.
Even Janet chuckled and looked at her colleague, asking, "Who the hell is she?"
"She's Ivy, Mandy's assistant."
Ivy heard the designers laughing at her and jumped off the chair.
"What are you giggling about? Open your drawers and handbags. I have to search!" Ivy demanded. It seemed like she was afraid of missing something and she was staring at everyone like they were thieves.
