My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Chapter 1376 Do You Agree To The Deal

Inside the tailor shop, a glasses-wearing Leila was busy working at the sewing machine. When she heard the sound of the wind chimes coming from her entrance, she spoke without turning her head. “We're not open for business today.”

“Ms. Joule. I'm not here to buy fabric. I specifically came to see you.”

Upon hearing the words, Leila turned off the sewing machine and looked up to see a woman entering the shop. The woman was tall and slender with bright eyes and an air of arrogance. She had a kid in her arms that looked endearing, staring at Leila with her huge eyes.

Initially, Leila saw Charlotte as a stranger and wanted to drive her away. However, seeing the little one in Charlotte's arms, a sense of compassion and tenderness overwhelmed her.

And so, Leila voiced politely, “Why are you looking for me?”

Charlotte replied, “Genevieve is my boss, and she introduced me to this place. I know you are a famous traditional gown master. I want you to make a formal male attire for me!”

“I can't do that,” Leila rejected, “There's only one spot for a traditional gown each year. I already made an exception for Genevieve last month.”

As Leila spoke, she pointed at her work desk. “That's the traditional gown I'm making for her company's artist. Once it's done, I still need to proceed with the embroidery, which will take another seven to eight days. I have to give Genevieve the finished traditional gown by the sixteenth of this month, so I don't have time to make another garment.”

“Well, even if you don't have the time to do so, maybe Mr. Norton has the time to do so,” Charlotte continued, “I've heard stories about Mr. Norton from Genevieve. Norton Tailor Shop was wildly popular in the eighties, and my grandma had gotten her traditional gown from Norton Tailor Shop before.”

The truth was entirely opposite from what Charlotte said. Her grandma had always been sick and had passed away before she was born. Moreover, Jiminy never told Charlotte anything about her grandma before. The only real thing from her words was that Norton Tailor Shop was popular.

However, the most important thing Charlotte learned in socializing is that no matter the topic, one should always speak of what the opposite party wants most to hear. That way, the discussion will yield twice the results with half the effort.

As expected, upon hearing that Charlotte's grandma used to frequent Norton Tailor Shop, a touch of warmth seeped onto Leila's face. “Yes, my husband is a skilled man, but as you know, he's in jail currently.”

Charlotte smiled. “Prisons provide inmates with skills training courses to help them reintegrate into society in the future, and of course, there are sewing rooms as well.”

Leila was stunned as she stared at Charlotte without blinking.

“I can arrange for you to visit Joshua in prison, and you can ask him to help me design a male formal attire,” Charlotte offered.

This was all Genevieve's idea because Charlotte only knew people in the entertainment industry, so she couldn't arrange for Leila to visit Joshua in prison.

Genevieve knew that Leila had no shortage of money. The only thing the latter wanted to do was to clear Joshua's name and have him released without any charges.

Due to numerous obstacles, Leila never visited Joshua in prison after incarceration. The two could only express their longing for each other through the back and forth of letters.

Moreover, Genevieve knew that embroidering a cheongsam was very time-consuming, and Leila definitely wouldn't have time to help Charlotte. So, she decided to let Joshua do the work while arranging for the couple to meet.

If Leila could visit Joshua in prison, perhaps she would strike a deal with Charlotte.

At that time, Charlotte thought Genevieve's idea was great. She praised Genevieve for her increased cleverness after marrying Armand. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Wow! Does a person get smarter and more observant after marrying someone clever? It makes me want to marry an intelligent man!

Leila's eyes lit up, and she tried to suppress her excitement as she asked Charlotte, “When can you arrange for us to meet?”

“Maybe tomorrow or the day after.” Making formal attire was time-consuming, and the eighteenth was the date of the charity dinner, so Charlotte wanted Joshua to finish the garment as soon as possible.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows, asking, “Ms. Joule, do you agree to the deal?”
