Nita stood beside Arvin while she gazed at Angela.
Nita was so beautiful. Angela thought she looked ideally matched with Arvin when they stood together.
She felt hurt by this fact. Why did she feel the hurt? Her heart? Angela tried to ignore her true feelings.
'Fine. Let me give it a shot!' she encouraged herself. Angela placed the bag onto Avrin's desk. "Sorry for staining your shirt, Arvin. I bought one for you. I am so sorry. Now, you can get back to your own business. Goodbye!"
Then she immediately turned around and left his office without hearing Arvin's reply.
Since Arvin never allowed her to say no, she decided to treat him the same way. Therefore, whether he liked this shirt or not, he couldn't refuse it!
Arvin didn't take the bag instantly. He just stared blankly at it.
Nita witnessed how his emotion changed. She casually asked him, "Who's that nurse, Arv? Are nurses nowadays act rude like that? She just bought you a shirt and then left? That's it? Anyway, you wanna keep this shirt, Arv?"
Arvin didn't say a word. Just when Nita started to feel the embarrassment, Arvin opened his mouth. "Yes."
Nita peered at Arvin's poker face and she felt so surprised. When she was about to ask him why, Arvin added, "I will take it back and give it to Uncle Yang."
The Uncle Yang he meant was a gardener of Gu's family.
"Okay. So the shirt, do you need me to do it for you?" Nita opened that bag and saw a tidy pure white shirt inside it.
After a close look at the brand, she couldn't laugh. Shirts of this brand weren't so easy to buy.
Because these kinds of shirts were made by Tailor Master Michael and his wife by hand.
Due to the huge demands over a little supply, their shirts were always sold out. Because of this, Mr. Michael taught a few apprentices to work for him.
Every shirt would be labelled with the makers' names, either Michael's or his apprentices'.
Most people could only get the shirts made by the apprentices, including Nita herself. She wanted to buy one for her dad and Arvin several times, but she always failed.
However, a nurse successfully bought one! 'Who on earth is that nurse? What is her status?'
Just now, she thought it was no waste to throw this cheap shirt.
But now, she couldn't say it since Arvin seemed to recognize this brand as well.
Actually, this shirt couldn't be booked at first, so Angela had to call Daniel to help her get one. When she contacted the shop at first, the shopping guide told her that there were only shirts by Michael's apprentices left in the shop. Those made by Michael were sold out and they should be booked a few months in advance next time.
She had to ask Daniel for help. Maybe, he could figure it out. This kind of thing, for Daniel, was not a big deal. He quickly handled this for Angela. When he got in touch with Mr. Michael, the master tailor himself personally called the shop employees and informed them to leave some shirts so Angela could choose one.
The store manager brought a few shirts for her to pick up, and she selected a white shirt.
She knew that Arvin liked to wear black shirts most of the time, but Angela thought men looked better in white shirts. 'Men who wear white shirts all the time, like my brother and Daniel, are super handsome!' she said to herself.
Finally, she bought a shirt made by Mr. Michael for Arvin, which cost her an arm and a leg.
Later at 10, Arvin parked his Maserati in his underground parking garage. Before going out of the car, he stared at the bag in the front passenger seat. He was lost in his thought.
