Stanley asked, "What's the matter?"
Violet glanced at him, "I'm not sure about it. Mr. Murphy, do you have a lighter?"
Although Stanley didn't know what she wanted a lighter for, he didn't ask her. He just took out his lighter from his pocket and gave it to her.
Violet said “thank you” and asked one of his assistants to pour a glass of water.
When the water came, she lifted the uncertain piece of cloth from the ground and lit a corner of the cloth.
When that corner burned to black, she soaked it in water and put it under the nose to smell it.
After smelling it for a few seconds, she smiled and explained, “Because the fabrics are made of different materials, the smell produced after burning is also different. Sometimes in uncertain situations, we can burn it to identify fabric."
That was it!
Stanley finally knew her purpose for a lighter.
Violet unfolded the cloth. "This is a new type of fabric. Looking at the direction of the lines, it should be used 3D technology to woven with the fiber and leather, so the pattern above is so vivid. If I guessed correctly, its name should be water coloured glaze."
Hearing that, the two assistants hurriedly went through the remaining materials. They really saw something called water coloured glaze. Looking at the photos, it was exactly the one which Violet was holding now.
"Have you seen it before?" Stanley asked.
Violet shook her head, "No, but I heard about it from my teacher. Mr. Murphy, I didn't expect you to have the cloth. See, is it beautiful?"
She draped that shinning cloth on her body and turned it around.
The shiny cloth! The gorgeous person! The two similarly eye-catching things should obviously be in contradiction, but at this moment they were perfectly integrated. She was like a fairy, which made the somewhat dim warehouse lit up a bit.
The so-called beautiful picture was nothing more than this scene.
Both assistants were dumbfounded.
Although Stanley was not so attracted by Violet like his two assistances, there were some fluctuations in his always cold eyes.
But he soon realized his gaffe. Then he looked away, and said faintly, "Yes, it's beautiful."
"This kind of fabric is definitely the most suitable for evening dress." Violet didn't notice the strangeness of Stanley. She just put away the cloth.
After half an hour, all the cloths were finally in their place.
The buyer which Stanley mentioned also came and took these cloths away.
