“Miss Esther and Mr. Terence, please ept my apology. I promise this will be thest time. I will never ever stay an inch close with Mr. Terence again.” L gave a genuine look.


    L believed Terence couldn’t remember what happened back then because he had lost his mind under the drug influence.


    On the other hand, she wanted to find evidence from Esther’s face. If Terence didn’t remember, then it would be much easier for L.


    From Esther’s reaction, she should have believed that Terence didn’t sleep with L that night, but L’s words had aroused her suspicion.


    Esther took a deep breath and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. Miss L wasn’t thest woman who had been intimate with Terence. I would be busy if I took every case seriously.”


    Esther was not dumb who believed whatever L told her and found something to worry about.


    Her words annoyed L and her expression changed, apparently not expecting Esther to take it lightly.


    Esther smiled. “Miss L probably doesn’t know yet. Anne made a move on Terence before, but she failed. Terence is living in many women’s dreams, so I’m used to dealing with lots of suitors.”


    L didn’t expect that Esther put her in one of the thousands of random suitors. She had filled a mixture of anger and resentment but had to maintain to be decent. She smiled at Esther and said, “I’m d that Miss Ester has a generous heart. I was afraid to bother Miss Ester by this matter.”


    “Not at all, so Miss L doesn’t push yourself too hard,” Esther flipped open the folder again, and the smile didn’t leave her face. “Can we get down to the business now?”


    “Sure,” L nodded and took the folder from her hand.


    Esther said, “All the manuscripts are here. I wonder which part Miss L referred to.”


    Miss L looked at the documents and smiled faintly at her. “Does Miss Esther love these clothes?”


    “Yes. Miss L told me to design something I reckon the most beautiful. These are what I’ve told, Miss L.”


    “That’s good,” The L nodded.


    L knew Terence would like things that Esther liked.


    “I’ve received a dresstely. It looks good on me.” LIA praised.


    “As long as you like it.”


    “I doubted that in the beginning, but it was Terence’s idea. He wished me to try another style, so I decided to sign a long-term contract with Miss Esther.”


    L sessfully got on Esther’s nerve again as she looked at her in surprise.


    Esther’s startled face swept away L’s frustration. L deliberately asked, “Didn’t Terence tell you about this, Miss Esther?”


    ‘God damn Terence, how many things between you and this Miss L I didn’t know about? Can’t he tell me all at once? Can’t he make me less suffering?


    Esther inhaled sharply to calm herself down. “Yes, but I didn’t expect Miss L would make a deal with me for this.”


    “Actually, it’s not a big deal. I would try something new if it wasn’t for Terence.”


    “As long as Miss L is happy about it.”


    LIA got what she wanted and finally stopped to read the manuscript seriously. Then she pointed at one paper and said, “Miss Esther, look at here. I think it will highlight my shape if the cor is changed to a V-neck. What do you think?”


    Esther took the manuscript and studied it. “I will modify it if Miss L likes V-neck.”


    “Okay, then thank you for Miss Esther.”


    “My pleasure, Miss L is my client. This is what I should do.” Esther added emphasis to the rtionship between herself and L in case L crossed the line.


    “Is there anything you want me to modify?” Esther asked again.


    “Not much of anything yet.”


    “If Miss L has time, you can take a look at the new design and see if it suits you.”


    “Okay,” L flipped through the drafts at the back, nodding with admiration as she read, “Miss Esther has an amazing fashion sense. These works look as great as some luxury brands.”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Then, L handed the folder back to Esther. “Nice job. I like them.”


    “Then I will make a collection based on these designs. I will send an electronic copy of the final draft for Miss L. I will move on to the manufacturer part if everything is settled.”


    “Alright, thank you for your hard work, Miss Esther.”


    “You’re wee. I have a lot of time.” Esther stood up from the sofa and smiled at L. “Alright, I need to go. Goodbye, Miss L.”


    “Goodbye.”


    After thinking for a moment, Esther turned around to ask L at the door, “Excuse me, mind if I ask when you will leave Proley, Miss L?”


    “Proley has an amazing view. I have persuaded the director to add a few more Proley scenes in the new movie, so it might need a few more whiles.” L stared at her, “So, feel free to reach me if there are any problems.”


    “Alright,” Esther waved bye to her. The moment she turned around to leave, a wave of annoyance ovepped the calmness.


    ‘What an arrogant woman! She was clearly using the job to challenge me.’


    ‘No one knows what woulde next and how she will do with Terence!’


    …


    Before heading to the coffee shop, Esther reminded herself not to take L seriously no matter what she did and not to get involved in private matters with her.


    But after the meeting in the coffee shop, Esther had to admit that L got on her nerves.


    In this meeting, Esther learned two things from L. One was Anne slept with Terence on the night of Anne’s wedding, and the other was L signed a contract with Esther for Terence to help L pick up a dress.


    Esther temporarily couldn’t prove L’s words, but they made her uneasy.


    Esther wanted to ask Terence personally, but she was afraid that Terence would think of her as a narrow-minded woman, who always mentioned L. Then he might use this as an excuse to mock Esther.


    She wanted to be a generous woman, so she needed to pay some prices!


    Esther didn’t have a mood to shop for groceries in the supermarket. Instead, she drew as soon as she returned home.


    She kept drawing until she fell asleep on the chair at night as if she wanted to get her feelings out with pencils.
