HONEY, Love Me One More Time novel Chapter 83

Seeing Estelle, Mrs. Green was a little surprised and praised her, “Oh, you are so young. The design is so perfect, and I thought that the designer must be a master who is at least forty years old or about my age.”
“Thank you. I’m flattered.”
“Both my daughter and I love the jewellery you designed very much. My daughter and I couldn’t reach an agreement on the design before. I thought what she likes doesn’t fit me, and she thought what I like is too old-fashioned. When we saw your design, we reached a rare agreement. It’s really beautiful,” Mrs. Green declared.
Estelle felt satisfied after hearing such praise from her first client. “Thank you, Mrs. Green. I’m glad you like it.” She politely smiled at Mrs. Green.
“... Estelle?” Miss Green suddenly exclaimed. “You are Estelle?”
Estelle turned her head and took a closer look at Miss Green. Then, after she was sure that she had never seen Miss Green before, she said, “I’m sorry, Miss Green. Are you mistaking me for someone else? We didn’t seem to meet before.”
“I’m not mistaken!” Miss Green said excitedly. “You studied at Lanster Jewelry Design Academy, and your professor is James, right?”
“Yes. You’ve seen me before?” Estelle was a little stunned.
“Oh, my God! It’s really you!” Miss Green screamed in pleasant surprise. “The starry rings that you designed were so amazing. When they were released, no one ever expected that the designer was just a sophomore! We all thought that the designer was a master in the design industry. I adored you very much at that time, so I also applied for admission to Lanster Jewelry Design Academy! But... Estelle, why did you drop out after only two years? From then on, no one in our university has ever seen you.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Green chuckled and asked Estelle, “Did you drop out from university because you met your Mr. Right?”
‘Yes, but not exactly,’ Estelle thought.
Back then, she came back from abroad to get married to Cristofer. However, the car accident happened the day before the wedding ceremony. 
Not long after that, Cristofer broke up with her. At that time, she was pregnant with Yohan, and she had to drop out of university and go to Ameris.
Later, because of Yohan’ septicemia, she came back to Cristofer and then spent the most unhappy five years of her life.
Now, thinking about the past, Estelle felt bitter. The car accident was the turning point of her life and ruined her bright future. If it weren’t for her talent in design, she would have become a world-famous designer.
“Alas. What a pity!” Miss Green sighed and said. “But it doesn’t matter. I finally found you! I’ll tell everyone in our circle that you are now working at Only Love Jewelry!”
“No, don’t do that.” Estelle stopped her immediately.
“Why? Estelle, many students went to Lanster Jewelry Design Academy because of you. At least half of my classmates went there for you! You are our idol, our superstar!”
Hearing this, Estelle blushed and stammered, “I... I just want to live an ordinary life and don’t want to be paid attention to by too many people.”
“Is it because you want to spend more time looking after your family?” Miss Green guessed.
“Well... Sort of,” Estelle said in a low voice.
Miss Green was very happy and kept praising Estelle in front of her mother, saying that Estelle was a legend in their university.
“Mrs. Green, Miss Green, if you are satisfied with this design, we’ll customise the jewellery according to it, shall we?” Estelle quickly asked them.
“Sure. I’m very satisfied with it!” Miss Green said. “Estelle, is there anything I can do for you? It seems that... you’re not doing well now.”
Looking at her plain and old clothes, Estelle smiled bitterly and said, “If it’s convenient for you, please introduce some clients to me. I need money.”
“No problem. Consider it done!” Miss Green patted her chest and promised. “You are so talented. There will be countless customers who want to buy the jewellery designed by you in the future!” 
Later, Mrs. Green paid a hefty amount for the jewellery set and went home with her daughter.
Before leaving, Miss Green asked Estelle for her contact details and said that she hoped they could keep in touch.
Looking at Miss Green, Estelle slightly envied such a happy soul, but she was happy to make them satisfied.
In the past, she was also as vigorous, confident, and lively as Miss Green. However, she couldn’t go back to the past anymore.
When Estelle was lost in thought, her phone rang.
‘Did everything go well today?’ It was a message from Mr. Mysterious. 
Seeing the message that popped up on time, Estelle chuckled, quickly typing her response.
‘Sir, you really didn’t install a tracker on my phone? Are you keeping an eye on me all the time?’
‘I only pay attention to the things I like and the person I like.’ Mr. Mysterious replied to her.
When Estelle saw the message, her hand couldn’t help but tremble, and her phone slipped from her hands. She immediately caught it as it fell.
‘Have you caught the phone?’ Mr. Mysterious texted her again.
‘Sir, are you somewhere near Only Love Jewelry? Can you see me now?’ Estelle sent a message quickly with her face full of confusion.
‘No, I’m busy with my work.’
‘Then how do you know that my phone almost dropped on the floor?’
‘I guessed it.’
Estelle was stunned and thought, ‘He guessed it? How did he guess it?’
At this time, another message from Mr. Mysterious came. ‘I guessed it based on what I know about you.’
‘He knew that I would panic and my hand would tremble after I read that message?’ Thinking about it, Estelle took a deep breath and replied to his message.
‘Sir, did we... know each other before?’
This time, Mr. Mysterious didn’t reply to her immediately.
After a long time, when she thought that Mr. Mysterious would not reply to her, her phone rang again.
‘I knew you a long time ago.’
“Estelle!”
Before Estelle could think about what the message meant, someone called her name.
She put away her phone and then saw Bob walking toward her.
“Bob, what’s up?” she asked.
“This is your wage card. The commission of Mrs. Green’s order is eighty thousand dollars. You just said that you needed money, so I have applied to the financial department for an advance on your salary this month and a commission. Here are one hundred and twenty thousand. Just take it.”
