Chapter 92: Old Acquaintance
The tailor shop owner nodded, hugged the fabrics that Venn had just chosen, and told him to follow her into Emily’s office.
Looking at the elegant girl in an elegant uniform, intently cutting fabric, Venn’s heart was extremely nervous. He wondered if there was anything else that she couldn’t do.
Hearing footsteps, Emily immediately raised her head before the tailor shop owner called her.
The smile that had just appeared quickly disappeared when Emily saw the face of the man considered Kevin’s right-hand man.
Could it be that Kevin told Venn to investigate and follow her? Even though she knew they would meet again one day, she didn’t think it would be this fast.
“The customer wants you to make clothes for him.”
After finishing speaking, the tailor shop owner immediately went out, giving space for the seamstress to carry out the next part of her work.
Although quite bewildered, Emily still maintained a professional working style, opened the catalog, and asked Venn to choose a style of clothing.
“Have you worked here long?” He kept his eyes glued to the shirt designs but his mouth asked an unrelated question.
“It’s been more than half a month.” She answered.
Venn’s head recalled the timeline very quickly. Wasn’t that when Kevin was on a long business trip?Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
He didn’t dare ask Kevin and didn’t dare ask Emily about the questions in his heart, he just felt very strange.
“Shirt in this style, pants in this style, vest in this style.”
“Yes.”
Emily carefully took notes and then invited Venn to move a bit so she could easily take the measurements.
Venn’s figure is very good, not too skinny and not too fat, and she loves making clothes for people with a figure like him.
A few days ago, a fat customer appeared at the tailor shop. He kept telling the tailor how to sew so that when he wore it, he would look like a hot guy.
At that time, the faces of the seamstress and the tailor shop owner kept getting shorter and then longer. Luckily he didn’t choose her.
“It’s done. Please leave your phone number, I will contact you as soon as I finish sewing.” She rolled up the tape measure and said.
“Still the old phone number.”
“Old phone number…”
“Hey, you didn’t delete my phone number, did you, Miss Emily?” Venn looked clearly disappointed and deeply hurt.
The truth is that Emily’s phone now does not have Venn’s contact number. Although Kevin’s phone number was not in the phone book, it was in her memory.
As for Venn’s phone number, she doesn’t even remember what the ending number is.
Seeing her hesitation, Venn took a pen and wrote his number in the notebook. At this moment, his eyes opened even wider when he saw Kent’s phone number.
Venn did not know the personal phone number of the president of GE Corporation, but he guessed that this was definitely him because the number of clothes ordered was quite large and, importantly, this seamstress was very close to his son.
After paying, Venn left. At this moment, Emily breathed a sigh of relief.
She also prepared herself mentally to meet Kevin. She doesn’t need to run away to affect her life.
She believed that as long as she resolutely refused and did not give him any hope, he would let go.
Day after day passed, old orders were completed one by one by Emily and new orders continued to arrive to her.
Senior employees of the GE corporation made up the largest number, while the number of Kurt’s friends was second, and some customers came here for the first time but randomly chose her.
For Emily, life is very good now, and she doesn’t want any changes.
Yesterday, she delivered the goods to Venn, and today, in an important meeting with the board of directors, he wore a new suit made by her.
The fabric, design, and exquisite sewing techniques make him stand out among the men with the best looks of the Unicons group.
The meeting ended, Kevin called Venn into his office to discuss some more issues and after reaching an agreement, he noticed Venn’s outfit.
“It’s beautiful. Which tailor shop did you order your clothes from?”
“Ah, that’s Rose tailor shop on the north bank of the city. Miss Emily is the one who sewed my clothes.”
“Emily?” Kevin frowned.
“Yes.”
Seeing the expression on Kevin’s face, Venn vaguely guessed that his boss did not know that she worked at the tailor shop.
If so, does that mean she ran away from Kevin a second time? Did he touch the wound in his boss’s heart when he mentioned her name?
Venn silently scolded himself for being stupid
“Where is that place? What is the exact address?” Kevin asked as soon as Venn was about to leave.
This time, Venn believed that his boss had been abandoned by that girl again. He quickly took out the business card from his pocket and gave it to Kevin.
Joy, heartbreak, and self-pity are all emotions welling up in Kevin’s heart right now. He was happy for her because she had a good job that matched her interests, but he was heartbroken and sad for himself.
Unable to wait another moment, Kevin called, told Sara to postpone his appointments until tomorrow, and then quickly rushed out of the office.
He needed to meet Emily immediately and ask her why she treated him like that.
After all, how much did she hate him for leading him into a pool of sweet love and then suddenly abandoning him in such a quagmire of despair?
By the time Kevin arrived, it was early afternoon work. Seeing the handsome, powerful president in front of her, the tailor shop owner immediately guessed that he was here because of Emily.
After all, Emily is his missing sister-in-law and there is also unconfirmed information that she is his first love.
“What do you want to sew?” The tailor shop owner smiled and asked.
“Shirts, pants, and vests. I want Miss Emily to make clothes for me.” He answered.
“Then you should choose the fabric first and then go meet her to take measurements later.”
“Please call her to come here and help me choose.”
The tailor shop owner nodded and quickly went to call Emily.
Up until now, customers have always chosen their fabrics and she has been the one to advise, but if customers have other requests, as long as they are not excessive, she still has to listen to them.
Nothing had happened yet, but she already had the feeling that something bad was about to happen to her excellent seamstress, there was a smell of drama and suspense…
When Emily heard the tailor shop owner say there was a male customer who knew her and wanted her to help him choose fabric, she couldn’t guess who he was.
However, she still followed the tailor shop owner to the outside area and when she saw his back, her whole body trembled.
She was no stranger to Kevin’s figure. Even if he turned his back on her, she could still recognize him.
After the day Venn came here, she didn’t see Kevin coming so she thought one was that Venn hadn’t told him, and two that he had let her go, but she didn’t expect that now he had come.
“She’s here. Then… let her help you choose.”
After saying that, the tailor shop owner ran away.
Kevin slowly turned around and faced the face of the heartless girl. For a moment, his emotions were so overwhelming that he couldn’t open his mouth but just stared at her.
It was a long while before he was able to speak.
“Help me choose fabric. Twenty multicolored, elegant shirts, twenty dark pants, and ten dark vests.”
“Yes, please come this way.”
Emily’s slender hands quickly flipped through the stacks of fabric and picked out some colors that she thought suited him.
Her calm, normal appearance and treating him like a customer meeting her for the first time made him so angry that he wanted to knock over the entire glass case.
“What do you think about these colors?” She pointed to the stacks of fabric and asked.
“Take them.”
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
After finishing speaking, Emily stood on tiptoe and called the tailor shop owner to come and charge the customer for the fabric.
She wondered if she should express her decisive attitude towards him.
Even though she knew that the salary for sewing these clothes was a lot, she didn’t want it at all, because that person was him.
She didn’t want to have too much contact between her and him and she clearly understood that this was just an excuse he used to approach her.
His eyes filled with anger just now made her extremely uneasy. In the end, she followed her thoughts.
As soon as the tailor shop owner finished issuing the bill for the fabric, she immediately asked Kevin to choose another tailor from among the tailors in the tailor shop.
The reason is that she has too many orders waiting and cannot make clothes for him.
“It’s okay. I’m not in a hurry. Please sew slowly.” He replied, his forehead wrinkled, clearly showing his discomfort.
“It will take a long time…”
“I told you I’m not in a hurry. One month or one year is okay. I won’t pressure you.”
Next, Kevin turned to the tailor shop owner and asked if the customer did not urge the tailor, could the tailor still refuse to sew for them and the answer he received was frantic head shaking from her.
Afraid that Emily would make the dragon of the Unicons group angry, the tailor shop owner grabbed her arm and shook it to signal.
It’s true that since Emily came here, the tailor shop’s revenue has increased a lot, but she doesn’t allow Emily to offend those influential figures in society.
“Then… please follow me to take measurements.”
Emily walked first and Kevin followed right behind. The tailor shop owner clutched her heart because she was so scared.
She didn’t know if Kurt bringing this phoenix to her was a good thing or a bad thing. She just hoped that Emily wouldn’t cause anything to make Kevin angry.
Opening the notebook, Emily wrote his name in, then took a tape measure and started measuring.
At a close distance, she could smell the mint scent on his body and he could also smell the gentle fragrance from her shoulder-length hair.
Her hands lightly touched his body, separated by a layer of fabric, made his heart sob. And she still showed a cold, expressionless face, trying to keep herself from trembling.
“Done, please pay two-thirds of the amount in advance. I will call you as soon as I finish sewing. You… still use the old phone number, right?” She pointed to the amount he needed to pay and said.
“Yes, still using the old number.” He nodded and answered softly.
