Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1257

Clyde seemed to be unaware of Janet's displeasure. Flashing his usual gentle smile, he attempted once again to give Janet the flowers.

"Please take the flowers, Miss White. If you have any ideas about promoting your studio, we can sit down and discuss it," Clyde offered like a gentleman.

Janet was almost laughing from irritation.

Although Clyde claimed he only came to visit, the promotion was the only thing that came out of his mouth.

Since he came in, she had told him countless times that she wasn't interested in that kind of publicity. Was it that hard to understand?

With a step back, she pushed away the flowers Clyde had placed in her face. "Mr. Lambert, please go and take your journalist friends with you. Today is a busy day and I'm afraid I had no time to entertain you," Janet said bluntly.

Still, Clyde seemed to miss the meaning of her words. He shrugged her refusal off and continued to persuade Janet in a serious tone.

"Miss White, are you sure you want to pursue your design for that old woman? You've already designed clothes for an old woman before. It'll lose its novelty once you do it again. You won't profit much from this project."

Janet didn't even have the chance to reply. He gave her a small smile and continued, "Don't worry, I will let the reporters know that you refused the old woman's order to raise the threshold of your design."

A cold expression settled on Janet's face.

Now she could tell that Clyde was essentially a very arrogant and rude person who, deep down, despised the unpretentious elderly woman.

A person like Clyde was not someone she could go along with.

But Clyde had helped her once and she couldn't discount that. So, Janet reeled her anger in and politely said, "Mr. Lambert, there's no need for you to worry about my business. Please leave as soon as possible."

Clyde stared at Janet's somewhat angry expression with interest. For some reason, he felt even more drawn to her.

Janet was indeed different from the average lady from a prestigious family. Not only did she voice out her opinions, but she was also so adorable when she was angry.

Janet felt very uncomfortable under Clyde's suggestive gaze.

She frowned, just about to completely lose her temper and drive him away when the studio suddenly turned dark. All the lights went out.

The entire studio was plunged into darkness.

A flurry of steps sounded, then Lexi's panicked voice came. "Boss, bad news! The power is out! We need to call a repairman to fix it."

Before Janet could react, Lexi turned to Clyde with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lambert, and to everyone. The power in the studio suddenly went out. We won't be able to accept any interviews or publicity today. Please go back first."

Clyde didn't budge, however. He still attempted to stay. "Never mind the lights, we can go outside to continue the interview. Now..."

A cracking sound brought Clyde to an abrupt stop.
