Chapter 77

Carroll was slightly shocked.  Jason, who was behind Carroll, blushed for holding back his laughter.  Jason must think that I had copied that domineering male lead perfectly.  "No novels in the future. Focus on your study." Carroll gave me a tap on my head. "If you read those rubbishes again, I will send you the mountains, where there is no electricity or network." "No." I stubbornly pouted. "You won't find a cute pet like me anymore." "You're right!" Nodding, Carroll turned to look at Jason. "Send her to the mountain with Wolfie." "What? Yes, Mr. Carroll. Do Madam need some luggage? I'll tell Rose to get it ready." Jason answered seriously. After a long sigh, I held Wolfie in my arms and complained dejectedly, "You must be careful about choosing your husband. Don't marry heartless wolves. Otherwise, you will be sent to the mountain when it is unhappy." Carroll was walking back to the house. Without looking back, he said, "It lives in the mountain." I stuck out my tongue at Carroll's back and then continued to play with Wolfie. YELLOW went to the hospital for some vaccine, so I didn't know if it could make it in time to say goodbye to Wolfie. Susan called again, urging me to visit Jessica's studio today. I was confused. Why did Susan use the word like must in her invitation? This invitation was more like a threat. How ridiculous! I decided to visit Jessica in her studio, anyway.  I wondered about the similarity in the work between Jessica and Granny Luisa. I sent the location to the bodyguard, Terry.  After what David had done to me, I wouldn't go out alone.  Terry was a man of few words. He silently and coldly followed me all the way. The girls working in the studio seemed intimidated by him.  That saved me some trouble.  Susan appeared and led me to an office. After one glance at Terry behind me, Susan asked, "Will he go inside with you?" It seemed that Terry was unwelcome inside.  However, why should I care about Susan's feelings? I nodded as if I didn't get the hint. Then, I answered seriously, "Yes, he will." "Mrs. Anderson is famous. He wants to meet her." Susan didn't know what to say. She had no choice but to let both me and Terry in. Jessica was polite today, and the smile on her face was bright. "Sorry that I didn't recognize you yesterday, Miss Odette." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Anderson. I'm married, so I seldom mention my parents." Jessica had investigated me behind my back. This news irritated me because Jessica now knew that I came from Phoenix Village. Would she find Granny Luisa via this clue?  I was anxious to pay a visit to Phoenix Village for the answer.  I wanted to confirm that Granny Luisa was safe. I didn't want to waste my time with Jessica. Hearing me, Jessica had a benign smile on her face. "You now are a member of the Brown family, more famous than the Smith family. Sorry for my rudeness yesterday!" "Is there anything I can do for you, Mrs. Anderson?" Like an ant on the hot pot, I was anxious to leave. Jessica took out one piece of paper. "A lady wants a dress, but I have many orders at hand. Could you please finish this dress for me?" I fixed my gaze on the price on the paper.  Hundred, thousand, million! Oh my god, one dress cost one million! If Granny Luisa worked in this field, wouldn't she be rich now? I loved money, but I knew myself well. Therefore, I said, "I know something about embroidery but not design. Sorry that I can't help. " "It doesn't matter." Jessica continued, "You are responsible for the embroidery, and my assistant will help you deal with the rest. In fact, my assistant is also a top designer. Don't worry. Just wait for the payment. Miss Odette, my studio is top-notch in this field. If you join me, I think you will become an equal to me soon." Wasn't this an invitation? However, I wasn't that innocent Kelly anymore.  Over the past two months, I had learned nothing but telling the good from the bad.  After a smile, I said with an innocent look, "Mrs. Anderson, I'm still a student, so sorry that I can't join you. However, I don't mind taking orders from you sometimes. I'll help you with this order." When I signed on the paper, Susan, who was standing next to Jessica, looked bad. It seemed I had robbed her of something important. I ignored the hostility in her eyes.  At the same time, I neglected the dream Jessica had built for me.  Because I learned from David that there wasn't a free lunch in the world. Embroidery wasn't difficult, and there were many embroiders.  Why did Jessica choose me? There must be a reason behind this choice. I took the contract and the design home. Harris was watching a soap drama on the sofa. He ate the snacks that he had brought me last time. I sat down and snatched the chips from him. "Come on! How can you take back your gift to me!" "I'm bored. The dishes here are terrible. Without these snacks, I'll starve to death." Harries complained with a bitter look. After a second thought, I returned the chips to Harris. I had to count on him for more snacks. Recently, the dishes in Bamboo Pavilion were light.  The reason was the advice from the doctors since I was in poor health.  Carroll then changed the menus.  David was the troublemaker.  Harris looked surprised when he noticed the contract I brought back. "Mrs. Anderson? Does that old woman make trouble again?" "Do you know her?" I asked. "Come on! Everyone in Costsley knows her. She is a descendant of the royal family. It is known to all that she is difficult to deal with. None of the designers, who have cooperated with her, can escape unscathed. How dare you take her order? I'm afraid that you will be fired soon."
