Chapter 78: Shocked Beyond Words!
Although the two were in a taxi, Lyvia couldn’t help but close her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, obviously anticipating something. Jun Chester traced Lyvia’s lips with his fingertips, a playful look in his eyes.
“Lyvia, I haven’t even proposed to you formally yet, and you’re already…?”
Lyvia’s face turned red instantly, and she opened her eyes. She seemed both shy and annoyed. Just then, the driver stopped the car by the side of the road.
“We’re here!”
Lyvia swiftly got out of the car as if she were escaping. Jun Chester paid the fare, caught up with her, and teased her softly.
“What are you afraid of? We’re not in a relationship that can’t be seen.”
Lyvia complained cutely, “You… you’re so bad!”
Jun Chester laughed heartily. “I’m only bad to you.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Lyvia’s ears turned red, and she looked at the quaint private tailor shop not far away.
“Is this the place?”
Jun Chester nodded. Lyvia was skeptical. On the way there, she had already heard enough praise about the shop from Jun Chester. He said that the owner of the shop was unparalleled in both skill and taste. However, now it seemed that the shop didn’t even have a sign.
Could it be that Jun had just brought her here on purpose, not really intending to have clothes made for her? Regardless, Lyvia followed Jun Chester into the shop. At that moment, a beautiful figure was inside, selecting clothes. Her every movement seemed to exude an extraordinary brilliance.
She wore denim shorts and a fashionable T-shirt, her curvaceous figure and especially those long legs were eye-catching. But that was not the most remarkable thing about her. The woman radiated a dazzling aura. As she turned around, Lyvia froze in place.
“Jessica Johnson!”
Jessica Johnson instinctively looked at Lyvia, her delicate face even more surprised than Lyvia’s.
To be precise, she was amazed. She had never expected to encounter such a beautiful woman in this world. Was she a fairy? As the most famous actress in Lordran, Jessica Johnson had seen countless beauties, but none as stunning as Lyvia. She even thought that Lyvia must be a new actress without much fame yet. But with such a face, Lyvia wouldn’t need any packaging. Just standing in front of the camera would be enough to outshine any leading actress.
Jessica Johnson had her own independent studio. With just one glance at Lyvia, she was convinced that Lyvia would undoubtedly become the most dazzling star in Lordran’s future. There was no doubt about it. In fact, Jessica Johnson had already decided to spend a fortune to negotiate a contract with Lyvia. With that in mind, Jessica Johnson approached her, “Hello, do you know me?”
Lyvia became nervous, “It really is you, Miss Johnson. I’ve been your fan for a long time.”
Jessica Johnson was stunned. It turned out that Lyvia was her fan. Just as Jessica Johnson was about to say something, a young waiter came over and looked apologetically at Jessica Johnson.
“I’m sorry, Miss Johnson, our boss said she’s not feeling well these days and won’t be able to make a dress for you.”
Jessica Johnson was immediately embarrassed, but her expression towards the waiter was humble.
“I have plenty of time, and as long as Miss Davis can make a dress for me, I’m willing to pay double the price.”
The waiter smiled, “It’s not about the money. Please try elsewhere.”
Lyvia, who was nearby, was secretly shocked. The owner of this tailor shop actually refused to make a dress for Jessica Johnson? Jessica Johnson had been popular in Lordran for more than a decade, and her fame and popularity were at their peak. Countless master-level figures in the fashion world were vying for a chance to make a dress for Jessica Johnson, and yet the owner of this tailor shop had refused her? Moreover, the employees here even wanted to drive Jessica Johnson away?
For a moment, Lyvia felt somewhat ashamed. Even Jessica Johnson had been refused, so what right did she have, without status or money, to have a dress made here? But while Lyvia was thinking this way, the girl suddenly noticed Jun Chester, her eyes widening in surprise and delight.
“Are you… Mr. Chester?”
Jun Chester smiled at the waiter, “You recognize me?”
The waiter gasped and quickly ran to the second floor, “Master, Mr. Chester is here!”
Both Lyvia and Jessica Johnson were dumbfounded. In a short while, a middle-aged woman in her fifties came down from the second floor. Seeing Jun Chester, her elegant face immediately became radiant.
“Mr. Chester! Welcome, welcome! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
Upon hearing this, Jessica Johnson was shocked beyond belief. Bethany Davis, who had designed dresses for Mary Myers and uniforms for Lordran’s generals, had personally come downstairs to greet her own fan’s companion?
Jun Chester smiled at Bethany Davis and greeted her, “Miss Davis.”
Bethany Davis looked at Jun Chester with delight, shaking her head, “Mary told me you went back to Dirtmouth, but I didn’t believe it. Now it seems I must be getting old and confused!”
Jun Chester chuckled, “Miss Davis, you’ve always been engrossed in fashion design and never concerned with other matters.”
Jun Chester then placed his hand on Lyvia’s shoulder, “Miss Davis, I came here to ask for your help in making a dress for my wife.”
Bethany Davis finally turned her gaze to Lyvia. After a series of compliments, she agreed to make the dress without hesitation. Lyvia was overwhelmed with gratitude.
At this moment, Jessica Johnson couldn’t express how frustrated she felt, staring blankly at Bethany Davis. Did she look like she was feeling unwell? She had traveled all the way to Dirtmouth just to have a dress personally designed by Bethany Davis. Not only was she rejected, but for such a reason?
However, at that moment, Jun Chester spoke to Bethany Davis.
“Don’t rush. You seem a bit pale. Let me check on you first.”
Bethany Davis gave a bitter smile.
“I’m just getting old, but it’s alright. I’ll take Lyvia’s measurements now.”
Jun Chester was slightly taken aback.
“Alright, I’ll ask Badfella Stannard for a dietary prescription later.”
Bethany Davis was overjoyed upon hearing this.
She had, of course, heard of the renowned Badfella Stannard.
Jessica Johnson’s eyes widened in shock at the mention of Badfella Stannard’s name. Not long ago, she had sent someone to visit Badfella Stannard’s shop to buy some medicine. They had waited for half a month, but Badfella Stannard didn’t even open the door. Now, just by the young man’s word, Badfella Stannard would prescribe medicine for her? Who exactly was he?
However, no matter how envious Jessica Johnson might be, she could only be left aside.
She watched with wide eyes as Bethany Davis took Lyvia’s hand and began taking her measurements. Jessica Johnson quickly followed, taking over the waiter’s tasks, handing over the soft tape measure and helping Lyvia with her coat. She was incredibly attentive.
Lyvia felt embarrassed and quickly said, “Miss Johnson, my husband can do these things.”
Jessica Johnson hurriedly replied, “No, it’s my honor to serve you.”
Bethany Davis glanced at Jessica Johnson and Lyvia, casually asking, “Mrs. Chester, do you know Miss Johnson?”
Lyvia smiled and said, “I really like the movies she stars in.”
Bethany Davis was slightly surprised. She pointed at a purple embroidered lace gown in the display window and nonchalantly told Jessica Johnson, “Since Mrs. Chester is one of your fans, take that gown and wear it. Just pay a little for the cost.”
Jessica Johnson felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
The gown Bethany Davis pointed at had won countless design awards.
It was personally tailored by Bethany Davis!
It had always been displayed in the store window at a sky-high price of ten million.
Many fashion design students would come here to pay homage.
It was something that every A-list actress dreamed of!
Now…
She just needed to pay a little for the cost and it would be hers?
And all of this…
Because of a simple remark from a female fan of hers?
Because her fan’s husband knew Bethany Davis?
Jessica Johnson felt so happy she almost cried.
However, at that moment, a man’s voice came from outside the door.
“Jessica, have you chosen your dress yet?”
“Tomorrow, I need to attend a very important person’s birthday banquet. You have to dress up nicely!”
“If your appearance can make my master, Jun Chester, happy, I’ll cover the investment for all your future movies!”
Everyone turned their heads and saw it was the largest mine owner in Lordran.
The chairman of Lordran Mining.
