Chapter 131 Another business trip

The next day. Half day was passed when Jane woke up. She tried to move but felt very weak. Her body was in pain but not like the first time when she felt being crushed by a car. She opened her eyes and instinctively looked at the window, but did not see Edwin Carter sitting there. She picked up her mobile phone and turned it on. It was almost noon. Obviously, Edwin Carter had lots of important work to do. He couldn’t sit by the window and wait for her to wake up. She was indulged in her thoughts when her cell phone rang, it was Laura Ferdinand, she answered the phone and heard Laura’s anxious voice, "Jane, hurry up come to the studio, there is an order but customers are not satisfied with my design, now my only hope is you." "Who are the customers?" Jane asked. "I can’t tell you clearly on the phone. Come to the studio." Laura said and hung up the phone without giving Jane any chance to speak. Laura seemed worried. Jane got up to get ready to the studio as soon as possible. She saw a note on the bedside table written by Edwin Carter— “I am going on a business trip for three days.” "Going on a business trip for three days..." Jane read it in a low voice. When she opened her eyes, she didn’t see Edwin Carter in the room and her heart felt some distress but now she came to know that he had gone for three days, she couldn’t help feeling sad. Jane took Mia Mia and was waiting for a taxi when her phone rang and it was Edwin Carter’s phone call, she answered, and heard Edwin Carter’s deep and sexy voice, "awake?" "Yes, awake." she nodded "Is there anything?" "I will ask Emelia to prepare food for you." "There is no need of it," Jane said. "Mia Mia and I are in the taxi, we are going to live with Laura for a few days." Edwin Carter heard her and stayed silent for a moment then he asked again, "Jane, are you angry?" Last night everything was so good, but this morning he got up early, left her alone and came to another city. She should be angry. "Well?" Jane said, and with a slight pause she added, "I’m not angry. Why do you think I’m angry?" Jane didn’t understand why he thought so. Edwin Carter didn’t give her an answer either. They casually talked for a while and then hung up the phone. When she arrived at the studio, she found out that Laura Ferdinand had received an order, but several designers of the studio failed to satisfy the couple’s requirements. Laura Ferdinand was worried and had no other way than to call her. Jane put Mia Mia down and asked Laura about the customer’s requirements. A couple had been married for years but hasn’t had a wedding. And now their children decided to arrange a wedding ceremony for them. The wedding was scheduled on the 15th day of the first lunar month, so they didn’t have much time to design a new dress. The Spring Festival holidays were coming soon, no designer was ready to work and it was impossible to complete the order in such a short period of time. That’s why Laura was really worried. After knowing their requirements Jane was clear about what they want. In fact, for them, the wedding really doesn’t matter. What they want are health, peace, happiness, and togetherness. But they didn’t want to hurt their children’s feeling so they agreed to come to the studio to have a designer outfit. "Laura, tell me one thing, are all the presented designs according to dream weddings like western style?" Jane asked as she started sketching. "Yes, but how do you know?" Laura nodded and looked at Jane in surprise. "Let’s not choose the western dress. We will design a traditional wedding dress with the theme of happiness and health for them," Jane said. Jane’s words enlightened Laura and she clapped at once, "Jane, so it’s so decided. But now you have to work hard and get ready the first draft. If they like your design, my problem will be solved ultimately." Jane nodded and patted Laura’s head, "You take care of Mia Mia, I will try to draw the first draft and show it to the customers as soon as possible." "Bravo!! Mrs. Carter." Laura Ferdinand said with a smile. The two words “Mrs. Carter” seemed to make her happier, and she smiled, "Do your work, don’t disturb me." When she drew the design draft, all she had in her mind was Edwin Carter’s and her appearance as when they grew older with each other. Edwin Carter’s hair will be grey, and passing years will carve some traces on his handsome face, but he still stood straight, with the same temperament, holding her hand, leading her on the red carpet, and slowly walking toward the stage. In the middle of the stage, there will be a beautiful phrase written, Mr. Edwin Carter and Miss. Jane Ronan. Happy marriage! Some people have said that the most essential thing in a work like designing dress is to have a heart involved. First of all, you need to love your work, so that others can accept and love your work too. Jane was designing a dress, for an old couple, but she regarded them as her own and Edwin Carter. So what she designed was the best. The next day, Laura sent the manuscript to the customers. They were very satisfied with Jane’s work and immediately agreed. Laura asked Jane curiously, "how do you know that they would like that theme?" Jane smiled and said, "Because I wish I could be like them when I’m old. Then I think of how Edwin and I will look like when we are old, and what we will want to have." "Fortunately, I succeeding in convincing you to come back to work. You didn’t work in the studio for the past three years. You have no idea how much loss I have bear due to your absence." "I’m back. I’ll work harder and will earn you back that you lost in these three years." "My Goddess of wealth, are you going home tonight?" "No, I will stay here." "Did you fight with your husband?" "He’s on a business trip." Jane thought for a moment and said, "Miss Laura, let’s have hot pot tonight." "That’s what I am thinking." Laura picked up her coat and put it on. She asked again, "It’s only because he’s on a business trip that you are not going back?" Last night, Jane didn’t go home because she was busy working on the design but today she said that she will not go back home so Laura had to think about all the possibilities. "What? Do you think I don’t come home because I’m cheating on him?" Jane said and laughed. As she turned back, she saw Edwin Carter standing at the door of the studio.
