Chapter 630 Teasing Her Is So Entertaining
After Freya left, Leanna left the lounge. Zoe looked at Freya's retreating figure and couldn't help asking, "Who's that?"
"Queenie's former client."
Zoe's eyes widened. "Then why is she here? Is she here to trouble you?"
Leanna shook her head with a smile. "No. She wants me to design a set of wedding rings."
"What are her requirements?"
"As long as she is satisfied with it and likes it."
Zoe snorted. "That's a classic example of a customer's mindset. She might be unhappy about the details when you are done."
Leanna sighed. "I have no choice. She's paying a lot of money after all."
Zoe clapped her shoulder in sympathy. "You'll have to bear it for the studio."
Zoe suddenly recalled something. "There's very little time left until Fashion Week and you still have to design the wedding rings for her. Do you have the time? Will anything be delayed?"
"No. I didn't have much to do in Jamesdon recently, so I drew plenty of drafts for my designs. I just have to change some details then."
"Alright. You can concentrate on drawing your designs and hand over the rest of the work in the studio to me."
Leanna reminded Zoe, "Don't tire yourself out. Rest more."
Zoe laughed. "I'm fine. The little darling inside my womb has been well-behaved and didn't torture me. The doctor told me at my last pregnancy check-up that I can work as usual, so it's okay."
Leanna asked, "What about Daniel?" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
"Him? Some company wants to open a branch in Highside and he's probably busy with that. It's somewhat complex."
Leanna knew what she was talking about and fell quiet, not saying anything else. "Go have some rest. I'll go have a look next door."
Zoe yawned. "Okay."
Leanna had just entered when she caught two pleading glances—one belonging to the shopgirl and the other to Charlotte. They looked like they had made each other suffer immensely.
Leanna smiled and called Charlotte over. "Come with me."
The two girls looked like they had been rescued.
Charlotte instantly ran to Leanna's side and went outside with her. The place next door had changed drastically, with the ground floor storing their items while the first floor had been turned into a photography studio.
Leanna observed it as she asked, "How is it? Do you think it's difficult?"
Charlotte scratched her head dejectedly. "The things she told me are far too complicated. I tried to memorize it but could not do so. Am I dumb?
"It's not what you're good at, plus you've never been acquainted with this before," Leanna assured. "You don't have to remember all that. Just help carry things around when there's plenty of customers in the shop."
Charlotte nodded. "I will learn bit by bit!"
…
After Zoe had taken her afternoon nap, she suggested, "Nana, let's go have pizza. It has been just me and Daniel and he doesn't allow it."
Leanna put down her pencil and stretched. "Sounds good. I'll send a message to Louis so he can join us and doesn't have to worry unnecessarily."
Zoe asked experimentally, "Then I'll invite Daphne too, is that alright with you?"
Leanna raised her eyebrows. "Invite her then."
After sending a message to Louis, Leanna intended to call Aidan but was worried he might be in a meeting, so she sent a message instead.
Less than a minute later, he called. "What is it?"
Leanna informed him, "I invited Zoe and Louis for dinner. Can you come?"
He answered, "You can all go without me."
"Is it busy in the office?"
"Yes. You don't have to wait for me tonight. Sleep early."
She answered in assent. "Remember to eat something."
His mouth curved slightly. "Okay."
After she had hung up, Zoe moved close to her. "Is Mr. Pearson not coming?"
Leanna placed her phone back. "He has gone to Highside for a month, so there's far too much work that has piled up in the office. He may have to work hard for some time."
Zoe sighed. "I wish Mr. Pearson could give me some of his woes, even if it's just ten percent."
Leanna smiled. "Has Daphne responded?"
"Yup. She said that she has attended an overseas event a few days before and is now at the airport.
She will come over after she has disembarked and told us to eat first without waiting for her." Zoe couldn't help but be nosy. "Hey, have you asked Louis if anything may happen between them both? I don't know if it's my mistake, but I keep sensing that he treats her slightly differently."
"How?"
"It's just female intuition." Zoe could be pretty observant in that aspect.
Leanna replied, "He likes her, but you know what he is like. I'm not too clear about the rest."
Zoe agreed. "You're right. There's a big age difference between them, and the key here is whether or not Daphne's cruel boss allows her to date people."
Leanna was speechless.
After closing down the studio in the evening, Leanna took Charlotte and Zoe straight to the pizzeria where they had booked a table. Charlotte kept dozing during the journey; while she hadn't learned anything during the afternoon, she had followed everyone by running around to provide help. However, she hadn't helped much and tired herself out instead.
The pizzeria wasn't far and Leanna found a parking space. Charlotte yawned and got out of the car. She hadn't even gotten her bearings yet when her gaze focused on something.
Leanna walked to her side. "What is it?"
Charlotte rubbed her eyes, feeling more awake than ever. "L-look! He's so handsome!"
Leanna and Zoe all looked at what she was staring at, where Louis was standing at the entrance of the pizzeria.
Zoe suppressed a laugh. "Do you want me to get his number for you?"
Charlotte looked embarrassed yet expectant. "That—that doesn't seem polite."
"That's nothing. Wait here. I guarantee that I will get it for you."
Zoe was about to move forward when Leanna pulled her back while laughing. "Okay. Stop teasing her."
Leanna then turned to Charlotte. "That's my younger brother."
Charlotte was dumbfounded.
Zoe laughed until she was out of breath. "She's so cute. Teasing her is so entertaining."
Leanna truly didn't expect a girl who decisively claimed to fancy Aidan to blush at the sight of Louis either.
Zoe pulled Charlotte along. "Okay, let's go. I'll introduce the handsome boy to you too."
Louis had been waiting for just a while at the entrance of the pizzeria, but many girls had gone up to him to ask for his number. After declining them all, he looked up to see Zoe and Leanna walking toward him. He apologized to the girls and approached Zoe and Leanna, leaving the girls disappointed.
