Chapter 123 The witch is back (2/2)

She sighed and got into the house. A few hours of sleeping would do to recover just a little bit of her energy before she went to look for something to fill her stomach. She nodded at the thought and quickly went into her room to do just that. She ignored how dusty her room was. Sleep was more important!

It was during her sleep when her phone rang. But, before she could wake up and answer it, the phone went dead. It was out of battery.

Ryn sighed and murmured something in her sleep before she turned around and hugged the bolster even tighter. She did not even realize the phone call.

*~*~*

Mika crossed her arms and looked at the designs. Was this their best effort?

”Walk me through this. When you are designing these, what were you thinking?”

None of the designers dared to lift up their head. They could feel her displeasure. They thought their designs were good enough but the witch was hard to please!

They fidgetted uncomfortably but none dared to say anything.

”Did none of you listen during our first meeting? What is the theme? What it is for? Have you thought about how it will look like when in pictures? The suitability of the materials especially in that weather? Are you trying to kill Ryn?” her cold voice sent shiver to each one of them.

Stephanie, Mika's personal assistant kept quiet, sitting on Mika's left side. What else could she do when it was clear the wrong was on their side. She did remind them to be careful after the first meeting but they were still riding on their giddiness and proud after the previous collection reached quite an expensive price during the bidding. They thought it was because of their creativity and brilliant mind. They forgot that if Miss Mika did not help improving their designs and making used of Jeremy's popularity, the price would not go that sky high.

Despite Ryn was not around, busy with her work overseas, Mika was smiling and having good mood after the party, almost making them forgetting about how scary she was when she was angry. They forgot about her nickname as The Witch.

Unfortunately for them, The Witch is back.

Mika threw the papers to their face.

”If this is only your best, you can leave the company.”

All of them looked at Mika, their face drained of blood. Were they getting fired? Nooooo!

”I don't care about other companies and what their requirement for each design but in here, I want the best. I don't want a mediacore designer. I want the best you can give me. Is that the best you can do?”

Some started to sob. They were scared of losing this job. In here they were allowed to design even though they were just new or as the assistant. They did not have to wait for years to be promoted before they could make use of their creativity. As long as they have what it takes, they can show their design to their leader and if it fits the theme required, their design will be chosen. In fact, they have the chance to show their design to Miss Long herself!

And the salary! If their design gets chosen, they will get extra bonus. That is why everyone are still staying here even though they are afraid of the witch.

They did not want to lose this job!

Mika glared at each one of them. She was so furious, she felt like firing all these useless people from her team!

But she still managed to control her temper. She still managed to take hold of her rationality.

”I will give you until tomorrow's morning, exactly at 9.00 am to come out with designs that will make me satisfy. If not, pack your belonging and leave.”

They watched silently as Mika stormed away. Stephanie shook her head at them and quickly followed behind the furious witch. Her mind was busy thinking how to sooth Mika's temper.

How she wished Muss Ryn was here to help...
