Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 S2| Emily's New Assistant
Picking up a box from the table, Emily sighed. "Okay. Then, let me explain what you have to do, Auntie."

She brought it to Barbara's couch. "Since Daddy said you studied fashion design, I'm sure you know more than me. So, let’s go straight to practice."

When Emily opened the box, various shapes of beads immediately reflected the light. Barbara spontaneously frowned. "What is it for?"

"One of my projects is a party dress. You know that fringe is trending, right? I want to make a dress inspired by salsa dancers."

Barbara's eyes widened. "Don't tell me you want me to make the beaded fringes."

Emily's lips trembled in amusement. She quickly covered it so she wouldn't laugh.

"Unfortunately, I need some fringe samples. You should make them, Auntie. Ten combinations of samples are enough. Then I need 10 fringes with different lengths for each combination. The minimum length is 10 cm."

"Ten combinations?" Barbara's jaw dropped.

"Yes." Emily picked up a bead with her tiny thumb and forefinger. "It's up to you what pattern you want. Make what you think is the best. The strings are here and the equipment is in the drawer."

Barbara snorted in annoyance. "Why did you order me? Why don't you just do it yourself?"

"Because you are my assistant, Auntie, and I have other more important things to take care of."

Barbara folded her arms across her chest. Her face twisted. "What important things can a child your age take care of?"

"Soon we will enter the fourth quarter. I have to submit my quarterly business report to Daddy. So, I need to recap a lot of things."

"Why don't I make the report? You made the samples."

"Can you really do it? You even needed Philip's help to make a portfolio."

The man standing in the corner of the room failed to hold back his laughter. His voice made Barbara's cheeks redden.

"Then what is his job? Instead of standing there, wouldn't it be better if he made the samples?"

"Philip is busier than the two of us. He holds many positions." Emily nodded, reassuringly.

"But look at him! He's relaxed!"

Emily glanced briefly. Philip smiled sweetly at her. "That's because he is monitoring Auntie to report to Daddy. If your work is not right, you will not get a salary or even be fired."

Barbara scowled. It actually didn’t scare her. However, she still had to carry out her duties.

"Okay! I'll make it. One hundred fringes, right?" Barbara frowned in resignation.

Emily nodded with a big smile. "That's right. Give your best, Auntie. Finish it before it's time to go home because tomorrow the work will be different."

Barbara gaped again. Before she made a comment, Philip took out a tool box from the drawer.

"Here. Hope this helps."

A sigh escaped Barbara's mouth quickly. Her eyes were red but she was too embarrassed to shed tears. When she returned from work, she could only complain to Melanie.

"Mommy, that little girl is too much. She told me to make a hundred beaded fringes. Do you know how hard it is to make them? The beads are so small and slippery. My eyes almost popped out!"

Barbara threw herself on the sofa. Melanie swiftly stroked her shoulder.

"It's okay, Dear. Just think of it as a stepping stone to gain your brother's sympathy. Did you manage to accomplish that?"

"Of course not! I only managed to make 30. My hands and neck are already sore."

Melanie turned stiff. Her silence implied something. "Then, is that kid angry?"

"She gave me a chance to finish it tomorrow, when she goes to school."

Melanie let out a faint sigh. "Good. Whatever happens, hang in there, Darling. You have to stay inside the Savior if we want our plan to go smoothly."
