    Seeing Tina easing up, Leo was amused yet upset.


    "If you bumped into someone else, you would be worried. Howe you''re relieved when you see it’s me? We don''t have a


    grudge, right? Or do you still hate me because of what happenedst time?"


    Leo was referring to the conflict they had the day Tina first came to the office.


    Tina shook her head and hurriedly exined, "No! How is it possible? You misunderstood me! Thest incident was solved. If it


    wasn''t for your help, it wouldn''t have been solved so quickly. I’m new here. I was worried about offending people and leaving a


    bad impression..."


    Watching Tina seriously exining to him, Leo interrupted her, " Oh, I see. You mean you''re worried about offending others, but


    you''re not worried about offending me?"


    "I didn''t mean that. I just..."


    Watching Tina getting anxious, Leo stopped teasing her and hurriedly said, "I know. I was teasing you. I


    was joking. Don''t be serious!"


    "You..."


    Tina didn''t realize Leo was teasing her. She then gave him a stern re.


    "Don''t make such jokes! I''ll take it seriously!"


    Leo had a wry smile, "Fine, fine. I''m sorry. I apologize. I won''t do it again!"


    Leo apologized to Tina. Looking at the fabric scattered on the ground, he offered, "Let me help you pick


    up the stuff."


    "Okay, thanks." Tina didn''t refuse him.


    Leo asked while he was picking up the fabric, "Shouldn''t your assistant be doing this? why are you


    handling it yourself?"


    "My assistant is busy. I''m new here. I hope I''m being helpful. It''s not a big deal."


    Leo froze. He couldn''t resist asking, "But you''re a designer! You don''t need to do such things, do you?"


    "It is true. I''m a designer now, but I didn''t graduate from a professional college like you did. I started as


    an apprentice and made it this far!"


    Tina went on as she packed up the fabric, "I worked as an apprentice for years. It was a lot more tiring than it is now. There


    weren''t many hands in the studio, and I was new. There were so many things I needed to do..."


    "Sometimes I even had to dye the fabric, over and over again, and my hands peeled."


    "If the studio got some jobs, I had to do all the sewing by myself."


    "When the design was simple, it was easy for me, but sometimes the designs wereplex, it was a ton of work! I remember


    there was a customized gown, and the customer needed it in a hurry. The customer was going to wear it at her wedding. The


    dress required thousands of pearls to be sewn on it to be shining under the chandeliers."


    "Because all our costumes were couture, I needed to sew the pearls one by one by myself. It took me a whole week to get all


    those pearls done. I felt my eyes were going blind at that time, and I identally pierced my fingers several times."


    "So,pared to that time when I was an apprentice, this is just a piece of cake, no big deal."


    Listening to Tina recall her past in such a nonchnt tone, Leo was stunned.
