Chapter 325
After scouring countless shopping malls, Thalassa still couldn’t find the exact blazer she was looking for. The one with black
lining, and blue and gold stripes.
Just when she was about to throw in the towel, she spotted a model wearing the exact blazer in the window of a luxury store.
She marched right in and asked the salesperson, “How much for the blazer?”
“Twenty thousand dollars,” the salesperson promptly replied with a polite smile.
Thalassa sucked in a breath, “Twenty grand? Is there any room for negotiation?”
Why was it always twenty thousand?
If she had twenty thousand, she could’ve paid it as a breach of contract fee to the Sinclair group and bailed. She could’ve found
work elsewhere, instead of dealing with someone like Lysander every day.
“I’m sorry, we’re a brand store, with set prices worldwide. We don’t offer discounts,” the salesperson kept smiling, still perfectly
polite.
Thalassa awkwardly grinned as she apologized, “Sorry for bothering you.”
So, the blazer Leopold wearing was priced at twenty grand. As expected, rich people were so whimsical.
Poverty really did limit one’s imagination.
As she was about to leave in disappointment, she noticed a tailor shop.
Maybe she could get the blazer replicated. As long as she could return something to Leopold, she didn’t care if it was a knockoff
or not.
Thalassa eagerly entered the tailor shop.
After speaking with the owner, he agreed to make a replica of the blazer.
But it would take a week because his schedule was already packed.
In reality, the design of the blazer was quite simple. If he really wanted, he could finish it in two to three hours.
But Thalassa couldn’t wait that long as she needed to return it as soon as possible.
So, she proposed, “How about this, you provide the fabric and the sewing machine, and I’ll do the cutting and sewing myself. I’ll
pay for the fabric and the machine.
rental.”
Thalassa had worked in a clothing factory for a year and specifically learned how to cut and sew from a tailor. She was confident
enough that she could make the
blazer herself.
The owner agreed to her proposal.
Thalassa got to work immediately.
She measured the style of the blazer from the store across the street and outlined the cut on the fabric.
In less than half an hour, she finished cutting the fabric.
Next, she had to sew the pieces together.
Thalassa was skilled with the sewing machine and worked quickly.
Soon, the blazer was finished.
The final step was ironing.
But she had to go to work and didn’t have the time to do it. So, she asked the owner, “Would you mind ironing it for me? I’ll come
to pick it up after work.”
“Sure,” the owner agreed without any hesitation.
Thalassa returned to the office, sat in the secretary’s room with her stomach growling.
She skipped lunch to save enough time to look for the blazer.
But because of that she was seeing stars from extreme hunger.
Someone knocked at the door.
Thalassa looked up to see David at the door, “What’s up, David?”
David held up a file and requested, “Can you deliver these documents to Mr. Sinclair?”
Upon hearing she had to deliver documents to Lysander, Thalassa tensed up and curiously asked, “Why me?”
“Because anyone but you would get scolded, David gave her the reason behind his proposal.
