Tiffany nodded gently. “Yeah, I understand. All the best, Patricia!”
Patricia smiled. “Thank you! I’ll do my best.”
Today was a complete surprise. Patricia never thought that she could meet Tiffany alone and be encouraged by her, so she was feeling rather pleased right now.
The two women continued to sip their coffees while they chatted about life.
Patricia realized how fast time had gone by. Their conversation had lasted over two hours, and it was already past 5.00PM.
She got up to leave and Tiffany walked her to the door.
“Can I call you Tricia?” Tiffany asked when they came to the door.
Patricia nodded. “Of course. It’s what my friends call me.”
“Tricia, this is a dress I made for you.”
Patricia’s eyes began to sparkle when she heard that. “What? You made a dress for me? Thank you so much!”
She took the bag and was tempted to take a look at the dress right there and then. A dress personally made by Tiffany was far more precious than those sold in stores. In the end, Patricia clutched the bag and waved goodbye. “See you soon!”
With a flash of reluctance in her eyes, Tiffany called out, “Tricia, if you ever encounter any obstacles, you can always give me a call. I’ll help you no matter what.”
Patricia nodded in acknowledgment as Tiffany did not feel like all the other designers. She was a lot easier to get along with, and she treated Patricia especially well.
As Patricia headed downstairs, she had a huge smile on her face. She felt a sort of motherly feeling when she was with Tiffany.
Once she got into her car, she could not resist peeking at the dress. It was a white dress with a youthful design.
Patricia thought it suited her quite well. She started the engine and was about to head home when her phone started ringing. After glancing at the screen, she saw that it was a call from Elizabeth.
“Hi, Old Mrs. Arnold.”
“Tricia, it’s been so long since I last saw you! Can you come to dinner with us tonight?”
Patricia was startled. “Now, Old Mrs. Arnold?”
“Yes, come over to the Arnold Manor now and bring your three children with you. Isaac’s grandfather is feeling a lot more energetic today, so you should bring your children along to liven up the atmosphere. It might even help with his recovery.”
Elizabeth glanced at Phillip, who sat in the wheelchair with an unhappy scowl on his face. While he could not speak, his temper was still the same. That was why she wanted Patricia to come over with the children—to push his buttons a little.
After all, he was dying for a great-grandson, so Elizabeth wanted to see how he would react when he saw Patricia’s three children. Would he die of envy? she wondered.
It would be best if it would piss him off enough to make him shoot off the wheelchair.
Elizabeth was so friendly and welcoming, which was why Patricia could not say no to her.
“Alright. I’ll do that, Old Mrs. Arnold.”
After ending the call, Patricia called Josephine immediately and specified that she get the children dressed a little more properly than usual. She would be returning home to pick them up.
Once she hung up the phone, she drove straight home.
When Patricia entered the house, she saw her three adorable children waiting for her in the living room.
Scott and Stellan were dressed in little black suits paired with black ties while Sylvie wore a red princess gown with her hair flowing around her shoulders. Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Patricia.
Patricia was stunned. Isn’t that a bit much, Mrs. Zimmers?
She did say to dress a little more properly, but she meant something neat and slightly more presentable. The children looked like they were about to attend a grand ball.
Sylvie lifted her gown and curtsied. “Your Majesty, are we attending the prince’s ball today?”
For the longest time, she dreamed of attending a prince’s ball, but Patricia had never brought her to one.
Noticing the joy in Sylvie’s eyes, Patricia decided against asking them to change their outfits.
