Chapter 1390
This small town still had a lot of modern buildings from its heyday. Around a hundred years ago, due to Moonbrook’s proximity to the ocean and rivers, Moonbrook became a hub for local and foreign traders, mainly engaged in the textile, and port transportation business. It was pretty bustling back then.
But when the docks were all moved to J City and the rise of railroads led to the decline of waterways, Moonbrook went downhill too.
However, since it preserved many old buildings, Moonbrook had become a famous tourist spot and a popular location for film and TV shoots Especially when shooting specific themed movies, directors usually picked this place as their location.
Last time, the theme for “Beauty’s Wardrobe” was about traveling back to ancient times. This time, they were going back to the modern era to experience the style of the socialites of that period.
So, the crew decided to shoot in Moonbrook.
By the time the three of them arrived in Moonbrook, it was nearly two o’clock. Hans gave Sallie a call. Upon hearing that Hans had arrived, Sallie instructed him to find a cafe to wait, and then she hurried over.
When Sallie arrived at the café, she was surprised that Hans hadn’t come alone.
On seeing Estelle and Henson, Sallie was both surprised and embarrassed, “What are you guys doing here?”
Estelle replied with a smile, “We didn’t feel comfortable letting Hans come alone, so we thought, why not come along and make a trip out of it.”
Sallie’s eyes were a little red and swollen as if she had been crying, but she tried to act normal, “Alright, I’ll ask Amber Dony and the person in charge for some time off later, then I’ll show you guys around the town. The view here is amazing!”
Hans said, “Sallie, stop pretending. Estelle and I already know.”
Sallie’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said guiltily, “Estelle, I’m so useless. I’ve let you guys down!”
“It’s not right to put yourself down just because you’ve faced some difficulties.” Estelle handed Sallie a cup of coffee, “Now tell us what exactly happened.” Sallie held the cup of coffee and slowly started, “The second episode of the show is being shot here. The director even increased the difficulty, adding costume design to our tasks. This town used to have a booming textile industry, and there are still many old tailors living here. The crew chose three famous tailors, each with their own style, to take part in the show. We were supposed to pick one to cooperate with, and the choice was determined by drawing lots.”
Estelle raised an eyebrow, saying, “Maybe he doesn’t want to be on TV. The Gellars have always preferred to keep a low profile.”
Otherwise, they wouldn’t still be running their tailor shop in this materialistic age, in this declining town.
Sallie said worriedly, “So, I might not be able to complete this task. Today is already Wednesday!”
Estelle asked, “How many times have you gone to see Mr. Gellar?”
Sallie hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, “I’ve tried to see him seven times.”
