Chapter 535 Shunning Her
Rather than saying that circles were important in Kingbourne, it was more accurate to say that thisphenomenon was quite common and not limited to any particular region.
Even for well–known celebrities, if they were not the brand ambassadors of certain high- end custombrands, they would still need their connections to borrow the brands‘ products.
The bigger the brand, the better the designers, and the more demanding they were about the personwho wore their clothes and jewelry.
Not just anyone could get their hands on these items.
In fact, to those who were truly wealthy, celebrities were just attractive “display shelves” for when theychose clothes and jewelry.
Designers wouldn’t dare offend people like them. Then again, they also couldn’t refuse the Quinnellfamily directly.
The response given to Alexis was either to participate in international shows or to work on high–enddesigns for others. Anyhow, they wouldn’t take the order, and they replied in a very polite manner.
Alexis couldn’t replace any fault with them.
It wouldn’t have been a big deal if only one or two designers couldn’t agree to it. But all the designers inKingbourne, Huntington included, said they couldn’t free up any time.
Alexis wasn’t stupid. He knew there was a problem when such a situation arose. He immediatelystarted networking to replace out what was going on.
In the end, he found out the truth through his connections.
The person seemed afraid of offending someone and lowered their voice, saying, “Alexis, we go wayback, and we’re both just doing our jobs. I hope you don’t mind what I’m about to
say.”
Alexis, being the amiable person he was, kept smiling as he reassured his acquaintance, ” Restassured. I won’t tell anyone else what we’ll talk about today. It’s only between us.”
“That’s why everyone says you’re approachable.”
That person cleared their throat before the sound of a door being closed could be heard. Here’s thething. After your old customer, Ms. Quinnell, came to Kingbourne, did she visit those socialites?”
Alexis understood almost instantly upon hearing that. Still, he smilingly explained, “Ms. Quinnell hasbeen busy. There are a lot of things at work that she has to familiarize herself
with.”
“Alexis, we’ve known each other for years. I trust what you say, but as for other people…”
He shook his head and continued, “An ugly duckling from the countryside has suddenly transformedinto the Quinnell–family’s daughter. The business was even entrusted to her,
“No one would believe that she is capable enough to handle that. As you can see, the rich ladies refuseto accept her.
“It wouldn’t have mattered if only a few people were in on this. However, I’ve heard those ladies sayingthat whichever brand or designer who makes jewelry or dresses for Ms. Quinnell can look forward tomaking no sales next year.
“You’re a smart guy, so you know that’s what they mean even if they don’t say it outright.
“No one dares to take orders related to Ms. Quinnell. After all, they have to think about their own future.
“How about you tell Ms. Quinnell to give those ladies a call? It would only benefit Ms.. Quinnell if shegot to know them privately first before the banquet.
“They may not compare to the Quinnell family, but there’s strength in number, Alexis.”
Alexis tried hard to maintain his composure as he listened to the words coming from the
other end of the call.
Of course,
he wouldn’t blame the person who told him this information. He also knew his remark was madewithout malice, but rather an analysis based on the usual social rules in
their circle.
However, Alexis was dying to say that Wynter was a remarkable woman.
It was the other ladies who knew nothing because they only knew how to indulge in pleasure!
