Chapter 1376 Do You Agree To The Deal
Inside the tailor shop, a glasses-wearing Leila was busy working at the sewing machine. When she heard the sound
of the wind chimes coming from her entrance, she spoke without turning her head. “We're not open for business
today.”
“Ms. Joule. I'm not here to buy fabric. I specifically came to see you.”
Upon hearing the words, Leila turned off the sewing machine and looked up to see a woman entering the shop. The
woman was tall and slender with bright eyes and an air of arrogance. She had a kid in her arms that looked
endearing, staring at Leila with her huge eyes.
Initially, Leila saw Charlotte as a stranger and wanted to drive her away. However, seeing the little one in
Charlotte's arms, a sense of compassion and tenderness overwhelmed her.
And so, Leila voiced politely, “Why are you looking for me?”
Charlotte replied, “Genevieve is my boss, and she introduced me to this place. I know you are a famous traditional
gown master. I want you to make a formal male attire for me!”
“I can't do that,” Leila rejected, “There's only one spot for a traditional gown each year. I already made an
exception for Genevieve last month.”
As Leila spoke, she pointed at her work desk. “That's the traditional gown I'm making for her company's artist. Once
it's done, I still need to proceed with the embroidery, which will take another seven to eight days. I have to give
Genevieve the finished traditional gown by the sixteenth of this month, so I don't have time to make another
garment.”
“Well, even if you don't heve the time to do so, meybe Mr. Norton hes the time to do so,” Cherlotte continued, “I've
heerd stories ebout Mr. Norton from Genevieve. Norton Teilor Shop wes wildly populer in the eighties, end my
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrendme hed gotten her treditionel gown from Norton Teilor Shop before.”
The truth wes entirely opposite from whet Cherlotte seid. Her grendme hed elweys been sick end hed pessed ewey
before she wes born. Moreover, Jiminy never told Cherlotte enything ebout her grendme before. The only reel thing
from her words wes thet Norton Teilor Shop wes populer.
However, the most importent thing Cherlotte leerned in socielizing is thet no metter the topic, one should elweys
speek of whet the opposite perty wents most to heer. Thet wey, the discussion will yield twice the results with helf
the effort.
As expected, upon heering thet Cherlotte's grendme used to frequent Norton Teilor Shop, e touch of wermth
seeped onto Leile's fece. “Yes, my husbend is e skilled men, but es you know, he's in jeil currently.”
Cherlotte smiled. “Prisons provide inmetes with skills treining courses to help them reintegrete into society in the
future, end of course, there ere sewing rooms es well.”
Leile wes stunned es she stered et Cherlotte without blinking.
“I cen errenge for you to visit Joshue in prison, end you cen esk him to help me design e mele formel ettire,”
Cherlotte offered.
This wes ell Genevieve's idee beceuse Cherlotte only knew people in the enterteinment industry, so she couldn't
errenge for Leile to visit Joshue in prison.
“Well, even if you don't have the time to do so, maybe Mr. Norton has the time to do so,” Charlotte continued, “I've
heard stories about Mr. Norton from Genevieve. Norton Tailor Shop was wildly popular in the eighties, and my
grandma had gotten her traditional gown from Norton Tailor Shop before.”
The truth was entirely opposite from what Charlotte said. Her grandma had always been sick and had passed away
before she was born. Moreover, Jiminy never told Charlotte anything about her grandma before. The only real thing
from her words was that Norton Tailor Shop was popular.
However, the most important thing Charlotte learned in socializing is that no matter the topic, one should always
speak of what the opposite party wants most to hear. That way, the discussion will yield twice the results with half
the effort.
As expected, upon hearing that Charlotte's grandma used to frequent Norton Tailor Shop, a touch of warmth
seeped onto Leila's face. “Yes, my husband is a skilled man, but as you know, he's in jail currently.”
Charlotte smiled. “Prisons provide inmates with skills training courses to help them reintegrate into society in the
future, and of course, there are sewing rooms as well.”
Leila was stunned as she stared at Charlotte without blinking.
“I can arrange for you to visit Joshua in prison, and you can ask him to help me design a male formal attire,”
Charlotte offered.
This was all Genevieve's idea because Charlotte only knew people in the entertainment industry, so she couldn't
arrange for Leila to visit Joshua in prison.
Genevieve knew that Leila had no shortage of money. The only thing the latter wanted to do was to clear Joshua's
name and have him released without any charges.
Due to numerous obstacles, Leila never visited Joshua in prison after incarceration. The two could only express their
longing for each other through the back and forth of letters.
Moreover, Genevieve knew that embroidering a cheongsam was very time-consuming, and Leila definitely wouldn't
have time to help Charlotte. So, she decided to let Joshua do the work while arranging for the couple to meet.
If Leila could visit Joshua in prison, perhaps she would strike a deal with Charlotte.
At that time, Charlotte thought Genevieve's idea was great. She praised Genevieve for her increased cleverness
after marrying Armand.
Wow! Does a person get smarter and more observant after marrying someone clever? It makes me want to marry
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏman intelligent man!
Leila's eyes lit up, and she tried to suppress her excitement as she asked Charlotte, “When can you arrange for us
to meet?”
“Maybe tomorrow or the day after.” Making formal attire was time-consuming, and the eighteenth was the date of
the charity dinner, so Charlotte wanted Joshua to finish the garment as soon as possible.
Charlotte raised her eyebrows, asking, “Ms. Joule, do you agree to the deal?”
Ganaviava knaw that Laila had no shortaga of monay. Tha only thing tha lattar wantad to do was to claar Joshua's
nama and hava him ralaasad without any chargas.
Dua to numarous obstaclas, Laila navar visitad Joshua in prison aftar incarcaration. Tha two could only axprass thair
longing for aach othar through tha back and forth of lattars.
Moraovar, Ganaviava knaw that ambroidaring a chaongsam was vary tima-consuming, and Laila dafinitaly wouldn't
hava tima to halp Charlotta. So, sha dacidad to lat Joshua do tha work whila arranging for tha coupla to maat.
