Chapter 942:noveldrama
Meanwhile, a taxi pulled up in front of an imposing office building. Evita stepped out, closing the door behind her, and looked up at the floor where Timeless Elegance’s office was located.
Since her last meeting with Marcus at the hospital, she hadn’t received any follow-up, which left her feeling uncertain. Just earlier, she had returned to the hospital, and as she was about to enter the room, she overheard Marcus and his son talking about the clothes from Timeless Elegance.
As Evita recalled their praise, her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Marcus was elderly, and this collaboration in Lorpond might very well be his last. Evita was determined to make the most of this opportunity.
Global Entertainment’s fashion division was slightly less powerful than Timeless Elegance, so it was likely Marcus would opt for Timeless Elegance instead. As the fashion design director at Global Entertainment, Evita knew that if her company couldn’t make a mark, a collaboration with Timeless Elegance would be her next step.
She was certain that Luka wouldn’t turn down a partnership with Lorpond’s largest entertainment company. With that thought in mind, Evita lifted her chin slightly and walked toward Timeless Elegance with confidence.
“Hello, I’d like to speak with Mr. Calderon.”
The receptionist gave her a quick glance.

“Do you have an appointment, ma’am?”
Evita didn’t miss a beat.
“Just tell Mr. Calderon that Evita Gordon is here.”
The receptionist took note of Evita’s proud demeanor and raised an eyebrow in surprise. She quickly dialed Luka’s number to ask.
“Evita Gordon?” Luka’s voice was tinged with confusion. He wasn’t sure why Evita was there, but considering the recent rumors, he said, “Let her in.”
Evita pushed the door open and stepped inside. Luka slowly set his work aside, his eyes narrowing as he studied her. She seated herself with confidence.
“Mr. Calderon, I’m here to talk about a potential collaboration.”
Luka stayed silent, so Evita pressed on.
“Mr. Vaughn is currently in Lorpond. I know you’re eager to connect with him, but considering Timeless Elegance’s poor performance in recent years, it might be tough, right? I assume you’re aware of my ties with Mr. Vaughn. If Timeless Elegance’s designer works with Global Entertainment, I can arrange an introduction.”
Luka didn’t say anything. He hadn’t anticipated that Evita would show up to discuss a collaboration after slandering Timeless Elegance and even going after their designer. Her boldness was astonishing. Luka declined immediately.
“Miss Gordon, please leave. We will rely on our own efforts to work with Mr. Vaughn. We don’t need your help.”
Evita hadn’t expected such a blunt refusal, with no chance for negotiation. This was a golden opportunity to connect with Marcus, and Luka had actually turned it down?
