"Janet Lind is a promising and talented designer. We're about to start our winter collection. Emani, if you have any ideas or suggestions, just tell Janet." Garrett was grinning as he introduced the two ladies, but then he saw that Emani looked a little disgruntled, while Janet's attitude seemed a bit strange, too.
"Have you two met before?" Garrett glanced at Janet questioningly.
He had only done this to separate Janet from Ethan in order to buy Ethan some time.
"I just met Miss Gomez in the bathroom earlier," Janet answered dryly. She didn't want things to get nasty.
Janet had nothing to fear. Emani was the one who started the fight, and Janet didn't do anything wrong. Still, she didn't want to make things awkward for Emani since she was a celebrity.
Emani rolled her eyes and sneered. Earlier, she had worried that Janet was from some rich and powerful family. After all, the Larson Group had invited many important figures tonight.
So when they had the small scuffle earlier, Emani was scared that she might've offended someone she shouldn't have. Now that she knew that Janet was indeed just an ordinary employee of the design department of the Larson Group, she guessed that Janet must've just borrowed the designer dress from the company.
So she grew complacent and threw caution to the wind.
"Yes. We met earlier. She left a deep impression on me," Emani said in a voice that oozed with sarcasm.
Garrett raised his eyebrows. He could keenly feel the highly charged atmosphere here. Initially, he had planned to leave the two ladies to talk after introducing them.
