Jess did not seem to want to talk with him anymore since he only mentioned the name.
He explained instantly,” We were not familiar. We just met in a party coincidently. We only know each other’s name.”
Clyde made his hands holding each other and put them on the table. His eyes stared at Jess, they seemed to try to catch any expressions on her face.
Jess nodded and replied,” Thanks for your kindness but I’m not thinking about this now.”
How could she respond other one when she had not answered Ray Chandler?
“Miss Rogers, I hope you can consider it seriously. I’m not here to employ you. I’m trying to ask you to be my partner.”
Clyde cut Jess’s words instantly and his eyes were full of confident insistence.
Jess could not help stunning. She raised her head and looked at him.
“I return from oversea to set up a branch company, a new brand. You can invest nothing only if you join me. I’m willing to give you 49% of the shares. All the investments on me and you just join with your skills.”
Clyde’s voice was hundred per cent sincere.
Jess could not help stunning again and thought to herself, how could a benefit existed like this?
However the Lowell family was wealthy and strong. They could invite any designer they wanted. Why they chose her?
Her eyes watching Clyde were full of cautions. Clyde did not hide from them and just let Jess sizing him up.
” My major was design in the university and I got know about costume designing. I even designed some works. Please have a look.”
He put out the design drawings he prepared as he was saying and showed to Jess,” I admire you for real and I’m inviting you sincerely to our team.”
Jess watched the drawings in her hand and a surprised expression could be seen in her eyes.
“Are these all you designed? These designs are neoteric in both sides of view and designing. You can must get a place in
designing industry if you become a designer.” Jess said undisguisedly.
“Thank you for your words. You are not bad on that, too.”
Clyde’s lips lifted a little when he heard her words.
“Of course, I never tell a lie.” Jess said,” But how you think of making this part short?”
Jess’s white thin finger pointed on a position of a drawing. She was interested in the drawing obviously.
Clyde smiled,” I went abroad when I was in university. There is a obvious difference between domestic and overseas. However, no matter which kind of them, they all satisfy people and make people comfortable from texture, color, mentality and actual demand.
“So your design matched and satisfied the actual demands of western nations and the pursuit of implicative beauty of oriental nations.”
Jess swung her finger and said,” And the figure you used here was the figure of Chinese classical gardens but it was combined by the western mysterious Mandela flower. That makes people to have a dreamlike and mysterious feeling. It can capture the heart of fashionable girls for sure.”
” That’s right. I’m trying to absorb the advantages of all the genres.”
Clyde was excited when he heard the accurate comments from Jess.
Jess nodded,” Your idea was good but the oriental culture is profound. It was a little burdensome and blundering when the eastern and western culture were combined and all the ideas were used. “
She pointed some parts as she was saying,” Just like these parts. Your figures are too dense. Actually, it would be better if these parts are blank.”
Clyde nodded his head ceaselessly as he was listening.
As they were talking, Clyde took out a notebook and a pen that he carried all the time.
Jess simply expressed her idea on the drawing directly.
Time past in seconds and minutes.
Jess was very happy since she had not talked about designing cheerfully.
“Your words are better than ten years’ study!”
Clyde could not help admiring Jess more.
Jess smiled and replied,” You are welcome. We were just study together. I learned a lot, too. My ideas will be wider in the future.”
Jess read her watch as she was saying. She did not expect that one hour was already past.
“Excuse me, Mr. Lowell. I have to go.”
Clyde said in hurry when he noticed she was leaving,” I don’t have to answer me for now about my invitation but please consider about that seriously. The Lowell’s’ Group always welcomes you.”
“Thank you!” Jess nodded,” I got things to do so pardon me to leave first.”
“Allow me to take you there!” Clyde took up the coat on the chair instantly and followed up.
“Thank you but I can go by myself.”
Jess blocked Clyde gently,” It’s just in the opposite side of here.”
Two of them were standing there and they were obvious since they were handsome and pretty.
Amelia was hanging around there with her friends. They were trying to find a place to have a rest. However she saw them by a careless glance.
” Amelia?”
“Hush!” Amelia took out the phone from her bag and followed up for a few steps.
Her friend beside her said,” Is that Ruby Rogers? Why there is another man standing beside her? She’s seducing every one, isn’t she?”
The girl’s tone was sour since she was jealous. However, Amelia stared at Jess and Clyde without saying anything.
When the man turned, the girl standing behind Amelia was surprised and covered her mouth,” How could she get together with Clyde Lowell?”
Amelia thought in her mind,” How could they being together?”
She never heard about Clyde and Ruby had any intersection. Amelia was confused.
Her friends beside her were still talking and gossiping ceaselessly.
Two persons talked over there turned their sides together and looked they were intimate.
Amelia’s eyes were lit up and she took the picture instantly.
As soon as the photo was taken, several heads came together,” That is really her. “
” This shameless woman only knows to seduce people around. What’s so good to be a little pretty.”
“Amelia, you have to give this to Ray. Don’t let him to be fooled by the woman.”
Amelia was a little embarrassed and she nodded her head.
She would hand it to Ray for sure. She would like to see, when Ray saw the picture,
What else could Ruby explain?
She dared to date other man without letting Ray to know. Such a dog could not stop eating the shit.
A excited expression could not be hid on Amelia’s face when she thought about disclosing Ruby.
Jess did not leave when she finished with Clyde.
Mr. Chandler liked to have cakes but he liked the famous cakes.
Jess bought the cakes from the nearest Xilianzhai cake store then went back to the teahouse.
Two old men were still keeping the posts as she were left and playing the go-chess liked they were fighting and could not be separated with each other when she got in the room.
Jess put the plum blossom shaped cakes in a celadon-glazed dish thoughtfully. She was a designer.
The cakes were put in a elegant way by her even she did not put too much effort on it.
Mr. Wilson nodded when he saw the cakes put on the dish. The cakes could be seen as one of fitments of tea ceremonies.
Jess took the dark-red enameled pottery that put aside, washing tea, brewing tea, filtering tea, her motions were smooth like a running stream with a taste of elegance.
And also she was pretty. Her temperament was mild and clear that made people amused.
Mr. Wilson could not endure anymore. He surprised,” Does Ruby know about tea ceremony?”
He studied and knew about tea ceremony very well. His eyes watching Jess were nearly lit up.
Jess was embarrassed when she heard the words. She smiled sheepishly,” How could I study about it before. I just saw what the waiter did and copied it. I wonder if the tea tastes good since I did it that way.”
She poured a cup tea for both of the old men as she was talking.
Mr. Wilson took the cup and had a taste,” Not bad. You reached the primary stage with only a glance. You are such gifted in tea ceremony.”
” How could she get the compliment of a expert.”
Mr. Chandler took back a piece of go-chess and shook his head. But he could not hide the smile on his face.
However, Mr. Wilson interrupted him,” I think Ruby girl can do it. Girl, you can come to learn if you have time, grandpa Wilson will teach you. I will make sure you can beat up those masters of tea ceremony easily.”
Even though the old man was joking, his sight on Jess was combined with some hopes.
Anyway, being successful in tea ceremony was not only depended on hard working but the gift given by the God.
However, there were few people could do that. Jess was like a precious jade to Mr. Wilson who loved the tea ceremony.
Jess smiled when she heard the words,” That’s great. Only if you’d like to accept me as an apprentice.”
” Good, good!” Mr. Wilson was so happy. He found Jess was more and more amusing.
Mr. Chandler supported when he saw the situation,” Ruby girl is very smart. Mr. Wilson, you surely received a good apprentice.”
Mr. Wilson smiled and said,” That’s all thank to you old guy.”
The words made Mr. Chandler laughed that he could not help closing his mouth.
It was nearly evening when the old men finished their go-chess. Mr. Wilson enjoined Jess to learn the tea ceremony with him.
Then the grandpa and the granddaughter said goodbye to him.
The car was driven fast on the road. The two sides of the street were already put on the bright lights. The flashed neon lights brought a sense of prosperous.
Mr. Chandler pressed his forehead,” I’m really old that I feel very tired after the whole afternoon go-chess.”
“Grandpa!” Jess called him and brought a cup of warm water to him.
Mr. Chandler had the water and felt better.
