“Got it,” Estelle nodded and said.
“It’s good that you finally know I’m not him. Pretending to be him was so tiring,” Justin sighed.
“So, do you still love Rebecca?” Estelle asked.
Justin seemed slightly surprised by her suddenly changing the topic, but he still nodded and answered honestly, “Yes.”
“The jewelry you asked me to design is for her, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I see,” Estelle said with a smile. “Mr. Roberts, I know Rebecca well. I promise she will like the jewelry I’m going to design. So you can rest assured.”
With an apologetic smile, Justin said, “Estelle, thank you very much. But there is no hurry about it. Your health is the most important now. It’s not convenient for Mr. Mysterious to show up in the daytime. So if you need anything, just let me know. I will try my best to help you.”
“Thank you.” Estelle nodded with a smile.
“The person you should thank most is not me but Mr. Mysterious,” Justin said with a bitter smile. “You may never know how much he has done for you. It is very moving.”
Hearing their conversation, Mrs. Roberts was confused again, and she asked, “So... Justin, this lady is not your girlfriend either? What’s going on now?”
Estelle took a deep breath and turned to say to her with a big smile. “Mrs. Roberts, I’m sorry for what happened just now. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Estelle. I’m a designer of Only Love Jewelry. If you have any requirements for the five hundred sets of jewelry you ordered, please feel free to tell me. I will try my best to design the jewelry that meets your expectations.”
Mrs. Roberts didn’t need so many sets of jewelry at all. It was just because Tim didn’t listen to her and refused to go on the blind dates that she ordered the jewelry in a fit of temper. Actually, as a lady from a cultured family, she was very reasonable and kind.
Thinking that Estelle reacted quickly and saved her life just now, she showed a good attitude to Estelle and said gently, “You don’t need to design five hundred sets of jewelry. Just design one set for me. Alas. Both my sons are stubborn. Justin has broken up with his ex-girlfriend for so many years, but he still loves her, so he doesn’t want to get married to others. As for Tim, he always pisses me off, and for so many years, he has never dated girls.”
Tim interrupted her and said, “Mom, Justin will get married in the future and give birth to the successor for our family. That’s enough. I’ve told you that I don’t want to get married. Women are too troublesome.”
Knowing she couldn’t change his mind, Mrs. Roberts shook her head and said helplessly, “You two have grown up and have your own thoughts. I won’t force you to do anything. Forget it. Just do whatever you want. By the way, Estelle saved me just now. We should thank her.”
“I see. I’ll give her a pay raise,” Tim nodded and said.
“Okay,” Mrs. Roberts said as she stood up. “I’m leaving now.”
Mrs. Roberts had felt better than just now, but she still looked a little haggard.
Seeing her like this, Justin hurriedly walked over and took her arm. “Mom, I’ll drive you home. Let’s go,” he said.
“Okay.”
Justin then turned to take a deep look at Estelle. He seemed to have a lot to say to her, but finally, he didn’t say anything. Then he helped Mrs. Roberts slowly leave the VIP room and left.
When they were out of sight, Tim walked toward Estelle leisurely with his hands in his pockets and said, “Tut-tut. Sure enough, even if Justin were brokenhearted because of Rebecca, he wouldn’t fall in love with an ordinary woman like you out of despair. Now, I’m relieved that he still has a normal aesthetic judgment.”
Estelle didn’t want to waste time talking to him. According to what had happened just now, she could see that although Tim was talented in jewelry design, he was no different from other rebellious rich kids in other aspects.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with him. The most important thing for her now was to finish her work as soon as possible, so she could go back home early every day and spend more time with her children.
Estelle breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that Justin was not Mr. Mysterious.
This was good news for her, and she wouldn’t have to feel guilty when facing Rebecca in the future.
And she decided to help Rebecca and Justin clear up their misunderstandings and try to bring them together again.
“Hey, I’m talking to you, black-framed-glasses girl,” Tim said impatiently when seeing Estelle silent for a long time.
Estelle frowned slightly and asked, “Mr. Roberts, what did you call me?”
“Black-framed-glasses girl. What’s wrong?” Tim said with a chuckle as he pointed at her black-framed glasses. “I thought that you must be very fashionable since you are so talented in jewelry design. But I didn’t expect you to like such ugly and old-fashioned glasses. Come on, even my grandma doesn’t wear such glasses.”
“Don’t wear them when you receive the client in the afternoon. And if you don’t know how to put on makeup, you can ask someone to help you. Pay attention to your image, please. Otherwise, if our clients see you dress up like this, they will doubt the ability of the designers of our company.”
Hearing his words, Estelle was speechless and almost wanted to roll her eyes.
‘No wonder Rebecca said that he was the most sharp-tongued man in the world,’ she thought.
“Mr. Roberts, will our client come this afternoon?”
“Yes,” Tim said. “This client is also a difficult person. Other designers are unwilling to serve him. Do you want to have a try?”
Hearing this, Estelle was a little hesitant. “But I’ve been responsible for the orders of Justin and Mrs. Roberts. If I take more orders, I’m afraid….”
“Justin and my mother are in no hurry to have the jewelry. Serving the other clients is more important now,” Tim interrupted her and winked at her.
After saying that, he looked at her glasses with disgust in his eyes, waved his hand, and said, “Take off your glasses quickly. By the way, buy a new set of clothes and put on makeup during the lunch break.”
“Okay.”
“Is there any other problem?”
“Do I need to change back into my old clothes after the client leaves?” Estelle asked.
‘Tim doesn’t like beautiful women. I’d better keep my ugly image at other times.’
