192 Hope I Won’t Regret It 192 Hope I Won’t Regret It

“Oh, I don’t care how much others pay you. I’ll offer you benefits if you come here.”
Anna tugged on Peace’s arm without letting go, as though she was determined to hire her. She then suggested, “How about I buy
you tacos for the next five years?”
Peace rolled her eyes and said, “Oh, my goodness! Even if you buy me tacos for the next decade, the money won’t be enough to pay
me to design a dress. You’re blackmailing me!”
“That’s because I’m poor! I saw Lemon’s office the other day, and the building is just a small factory building. The management
system of the company is awful, and the accountant doesn’t know anything. No designer would work in a company like that! And, they
won’t come even if I pay them! So, only you can help me.”
Peace said, “What? Are you telling me that you don’t have any money? Show me your bank balance, Anna. I don’t think I have even
a tenth of what you have.”
Anna let go of her hand and said, “Are you going to help me or not? If you won’t do it, i’ll find someone else.”
Peace bristled and replied, “Yes! I will definitely help you, Anna. Even if you don’t pay me or buy me tacos, i’ll still help you. I’m tired
of designing high-fashion clothes all the time, and I just want to design a little bit of everyday clothing.”
Anna laughed out loud at that, held up two fingers, and said, “After the company goes public, I’ll give you twenty percent of the
shares.”
Hearing that, Peace said with a hint of sarcasm, “Wow! Hope I won’t regret it.”
In fact, Peace didn’t think much of Anna’s request at first. She had her own studio and also did some outsourcing works for other
clothing companies. And, she was not actually busy working. So, when her best friend wanted to start a business and she could be
helpful, she would not hesitate to help.
Peace followed Anna to Lemon’s office building early the next morning.
They went through two alleyways to get there. Located in the heart of the city, this three-story structure was tucked away among the
many other high-rises. Also, it was in a ideal place that was surrounded by the city’s bustling shopping districts.
The one who showed them around was a handsome young man in his early thirties.
Anna said, “Peace, this is Kevin, the person in charge of Lemon before. Kevin, I’d want to introduce you to my friend Peace Brooks,
and she will be the chiel designer.”
“Hello, Ms. Brooks.”
“Oh, hello. You can call me Peace.”
After they made
all talks, Anna asked Kevin to leave. She then took Peace for a walk around this office building. Afterwards, she
asked, “Well, what do you think?”
**Do you want to hear the truth?”
Of course.

employee don’know what this place uved to be like, so they won‘t dare to slack off.”
“Okay.” Anna took notes in her notebook as she listened to Peace.
When Peace saw her doing this, she asked suspiciously, “Hey, I’m your designer, not your boss! Why should I care so much about your studio?”
Anna immediately laughed, took Peace’s arm and said intimately, “Look, since you can point out these mistakes, why don’t you tell
“Frank, you know, my sister has been really worried about you lately!” Shirley’s sister said.
Selina looked at the bustling ward and said calmly, “I’m here for my medicine. Anna, since you are here, why don’t you go in? Are you
afraid because there are so many relatives of hers?”
Everyone in the ward changed their expressions and stopped talking.
