It was like a child meets a supportive elder, but she quickly hided the past and did not arouse much suspicion from the old man.
The servant next to her also brought her a chair and poured her tea.
“Why you stayed at home lately and haven’t gone out for a walk?”
The old man said to her with a smile whose eyes were very kind.
“Now that Ray is back, you should behave better. .”
Jess said as he pulled the white cat’s back along the way, it could not help bending its back comfortably.
The old man nodded and laughed and said, “Okay, that’s good, but it’s not good to be stuffy all the time. Why don’t you go out with Grandpa in the afternoon?”
Jess was stunned for a moment and said, “Sure.”
After the lunch, the old man asked to someone to pick Jess up and they went to visit his friends.
The car did not stop until it arrived a teahouse on the old street. Jess supported the old Mr. Chandler with her hands instantly to get out of the car.
The old Mr. Chandler smiled when he saw Jess was nervous,” I’m no porcelains and not that precious.”
But it could be told that he liked the eager acts of the inferiors from his expression.
Jess pressed her lips coquettishly, “Of course grandpa is precious. You are the august big parent of the Chandlers.”
“You girl are really good at apple-polishing.”
The old Mr. Chandler was amused. He held Jess’s arm and walked to the inside of the teahouse. He said,” Mr. Wilson must be waiting for long this time.”
The teahouse was no big but antique flavored. It was decorated by classic fitments and they were very tasteful.
A good smell of tea breezed in their noses when they just got in. It was fluttered in the teahouse and amused people.
“Mr. Chandler!”
A greeting was heard when Jess and Mr. Chandler walked in. The manager was waiting for them specially at the door.
Mr. Chandler was obvious a frequenter of there.
Mr. Chandler nodded,” Was Mr. Wilson already here?”
The manager nodded,: Mr. Wilson has been here for a while. He’s in room no.1. He asked me to wait you here specially.”
“Hah hah, Wilson is still very thoughtful.”
Mr. Chandler laughed,” I don’t really need the guide.”
As he was saying, he led Jess to the second floor.
The manager was surprised and he glanced at Jess.
They knew the identity of Mr. Chandler. He was greatly famous in Kyorin city. No one did not know him.
However, they never seen Mr. Chandler bringing someone here, but he brought a young pretty girl this time and they seemed close.
The manager could not helping looking up to Jess.
The second floor was the VIPs area and it was very quiet. There were only few waitresses in white socks serving in silence.
They guided them to the room with a debonair face when they saw Mr. Chandler and Jess came up.
They saw a white haired but spirited old man was waiting there when they got in the room. He was playing a small dark-red enameled pottery in his hands.
The room was covered by the smell of tea. People felt relaxed when they smelled the faint scent.
” Finally you arrived.”
The old man raised up since he saw Mr. Chandler walking in.
Two old friends exchanged pleasantries and it could be known that they tasted the tea and talked a lot usually.
“Let me introduce to you, the wife of my grandson, Ruby Rogers.”
Mr. Chandler introduced Jess to Mr. Wilson after they had a little talk.
“Grandpa Wilson!” Jess greeted cleverly.
Then Mr. Wilson turned to look at this girl preciously. Her face was clean and pretty. The watery eyes were clear as limpid stream. Her dress was simple and appropriate. She was a good child.
He could not help nodding and smiled,” Mr. Chandler, your vision was really good on picking the wife for your grandson.”
It could be told that he was satisfying with this child.
Between the conversations, the waiters brought pieces for both of them. The vicissitudes of black and white pieces were acting on the board.
Two old men were playing the go-chess slowly. They seemed to put every piece on the appropriate place.
By their age, they had seen all the sails.
They won’t fight for the benefit at the moment and they won’t as radical as young people.
Jess supported her jaw and looked around on the board. She knew nothing about that and she was bored since she had watched it for a long time.
But she was clever. She stayed in silence and did not bother them.
Also, Mr. Chandler brought her out to let her be relieved. She could not bear to down Mr. Chandler’s kindness.
Mr. Chandler was afraid that young girl like her would be board watching the go-chess here so he suggested,” “Girl, it was old town around here. You can go hang around. It’s distinctive here. We old men may would not finish in a short time.”
“Right, go to have fun, Ruby girl. Don’t stay with us since the chance is precious.”
Mr. Wilson supported,” We could never be settled when we were young.”
“Definitely! Young people should exercise more and be energetic or what they going to do when they are old?”
Mr. Chandler put down a white piece and took off a black one then said,” My piece ate yours, Ruby girl, go quickly.”
Jess smiled and raised up,” I’m going to hang around then. I will be back later and bring you some cakes.”
“Hah hah, the girl remembers taking care of us.”
Mr. Chandler laughed ceaselessly,” It will not be late to buy when you hang around enough. Take your time.”
Jess nodded,” Got it, grandpa.”
She went down stairs with the guide of the waiter as she was saying. She changed her shoes then walked out of the teahouse.
The street was prosperous, full of crowds. People were walking through or hanging around on the streets.
There were some big shopping malls near there. Jess got into the nearest one. She felt bored more as she was hanging around. She found a place to have a rest at the outdoor cafe on the top floor.
“May I help you, Miss.”
“A cup of Cappuccino, please.” Jess answered to the waiter optionally then she saw a shadow approaching her.
She raised her head and looked towards the shadow. She saw a tall slim man standing in front of her and he was looking at her with a smile.
“Hello, may I bother you for a moment?”
Jess was surprised. She did not know the man in front of her obviously.
“May I help you?”
Jess hesitated then asked.
The man said,” You must be Miss. Ruby Rogers, aren’t you?”
Was he someone who knows Ruby?
Jess searched the document Mark gave her carefully in her mind and it seemed he was not in it.
She was not sure and said,” Do we know each other?”
“Not at all. My apology. It was me to be brusque!”
As he was saying, he took out a black golden name card and gave it to Jess,” My name’s Clyde Lowell. I’m the president of the Lowell Group that concentrating on custom designing.”
Jess was surprised and reached out her hand to take that name card
She heard about the Lowell family.
The Lowell family could be said the first generation of the custom designing industry.
“May I help you, Mr. Lowell?”
Clyde smiled and took a seat opposite her.
” Miss. Rogers seems very cautious.” He had a pause and said,” Actually, I meant no harm on you. I just want to hire you as a designer in our company.”
Jess was a little stupefied. She could never think about Mr. Clyde was trying to steal her from her company.
The Lowell family was not more famous than the Chandler Group but it was still a well known corporation.
Especially in costume designing industry, it could be said the leading enterprise.
Clyde saw that she was stupefied then said,” Actually I saw your design before, on the Milan Forum. Your designs were perfect!”
Jess was surprised when she heard that he mentioned the Milan Forum.
That was not known by others except the Chandler family, wasn’t that? Where did Clyde Lowell get the information?
Jess asked with conscious,” How do you know that?”
“Don’t be misunderstanding! I don’t have the habit of investigating others’ privacy.”
Clyde smiled,” I just heard it from Amelia coincidently. She said the legendary “long” was you.”
Jess could not stay in calm when she heard the name Amelia.
She frowned and said,” Are you a friend of Amelia?”
She knew the character of Amelia. If Clyde was a friend of her, she’d better to stay away from him.
Or she may got troubles anytime.
Clyde observed that her expression was resisting. He already predicted that since he asked someone to do the investigation.
It was said that Ruby and Amelia were not getting well with each other. It was confirmed today.
