Chapter 26


    "Aren''t you here to take everyone''s measurements?" Lenny asked, staring down at her.


    "Yes." Scarlet nodded nervously.


    "I''ve heard of your professor, Marlon Smith. He''s one of the best designers in the domestic design


    circle. I also want him to design a suit for me, so you should take my measurements."


    Scarlet was shocked and immediately looked up at him.


    When their eyes met, Lenny looked into Scarlet''s beautiful eyes. Even though he saw a little anxiety in


    them, they still shone as if a river of stars flowed through them.


    He didn''t realize it until now, but his ex-wife had the kind of eyes that could light up the night.


    "Why are you so surprised? Doesn''t your studio need this business deal? My group just ced a big


    order, didn''t it?"


    "Yes, and I believe my professor will be d to hear that you want him to design a suit for you. Then I...


    I will take your measurements now."


    They were talking about Lenny''s business partner earlier, but now they were talking about Lenny''s suit


    measurements all of a sudden.


    The sudden change of topic caught her off guard. But anyway, she decided to just take his


    measurements and then get going. As a businessman, Lenny was never impulsive. Maybe he made


    his decision after careful consideration. She should just keep her nose out of it.


    Scarlet quickly took out her measuring tape and notebook and began taking Lenny''s measurements.


    She had to take the measurements of his shoulders, cor, arms, waist, hip, and crotch. She had to


    squat down to take his legs'' measurements.


    When she measured his waist, she felt like something was wrong. She didn''t think it was a big deal


    when she did the same to others, but now... Their closeness felt ufortably intimate to her.


    Next came the crotch and hip. Scarlet squatted down in front of him, feeling that their posture was


    somewhat indecent.


    She took a deep, steadying breath, forcing herself to calm down. As she quietly took his


    measurements, his office door suddenly swung open.


    Drake started, "Sir, I have dealt with him..."


    Drake''s sudden entrance frightened Scarlet. She lost her bnce and started tipping forward toward


    Lenny''s midsection.


    Drake saw this intimate scene.


    "I''m sorry."


    He closed the door immediately.


    Lenny''s face darkened. Did Scarlet do that on purpose?


    Scarlet hastily climbed to her feet with her eyes glued to the floor. She didn''t dare to look up at Lenny''s


    face at all. She was sure that he was shing her a death re now.


    She could feel his sharp eyes on her, which sent shivers down her spine.


    After a while, she inhaled deeply and then blurted out, "I''m done taking your measurements, Mr. Foster.

    If there''s nothing else I can do for you, I''ll go now. I have to take Mr. Cooper''s measurements."


    Hearing this, Lenny frowned. Suddenly, he imagined Scarlet squatting down in front of Drake and


    taking measurements of his hip and crotch.


    Did she also take others'' measurements that way?


    The thought made Lenny extremely ufortable and a little depressed. Even he didn''t know what


    was wrong with him.


    "Just go back to your studio. I will have Drake do his own measurements and send the data to you."


    "I have to take his measurements myself so that I can be sure that there will be no errors."


    "What?" Lenny abruptly raised his voice, and an imposing aura began emanating from him again.


    He turned to look at Scarlet. She got so scared that she shut her mouth immediately.


    She stopped saying anything anymore. After a few moments of silence, she carefully packed up her


    stuff and left Lenny''s office.


    Sitting in front of his desk, Lenny was in a bad mood. A few minutester, Drake knocked on the door


    and came in.


    He looked at Lenny guiltily and said, "Mr. Foster, it''s my fault that I didn''t knock on the door before


    "Your annual leave credits will be reduced."


    "Sir..." Drake wanted to say something more, but in the end, he decided against it. He was afraid that if


    he defended himself, his annual leave privileges would be revoked.


    "I got the news this morning that Tripp''s constructionpany was having difficulties. He needed his


    cooperation with the Foster Group to make up for hispany''s losses. It''s very likely that if we do


    business with them, they will cut corners and sacrifice quality to save money. If we hire them to build


    our children''s amusement park project and its infrastructure fails, the Foster Group will be the


    target of public criticism.


    There is anotherpany, though. It''s a small construction enterprise that has only been around for


    five years, but it''s reliable in operation, materials, and internal personnel. It''s not yet prominent in the


    industry, so its business hasn''t boomed yet in thest five years."


    "Fine. We''ll cooperate with this small constructionpany. Keep an eye on them. Don''t let anything


    go wrong."


    "Yes, sir. Miss Brown helped us this time, didn''t she? You didn''t know how to cancel the contract with


    Tripp before and took advantage of this opportunity. You should be grateful to Miss Brown, sir." Drake


    spoke cautiously.


    Between Rosaline and Scarlet, Drake would choose Scarlet unconditionally.


    After all, Scarlet had been nothing but a good wife to Lenny until they got divorced. If it weren''t for


    Rosaline''s sudden appearance, Lenny wouldn''t have divorced Scarlet.


    Hearing this, Lenny pursed his lips. Then, Scarlet''s small, delicate, unmade-up face popped in his


    head. Her bright eyes made him feel an avnche of mixed emotions.
