Abigail pov
"I will talk to you later. For now I have work!" I told him as I moved towards them again. The dress was better than my expectations. It was a beautiful midnight blue color dress with lacework on the neck and the hem was decorated with diamonds. It was giving the vibe of a starry night in the sky.
I looked at the dress and was srized. It was sothing that could give a tough competition to what Gerard was making! And most importantly it would be used by the crown prince. So, it was bound to get a lot of attention.
"You have done a great job on the dress. I was not expecting a dress in less than 3 days, that also with fine details. You are appointed permanently. I will send the address and other details with Beth on her next holiday. Is there sothing you are expecting?" I asked as they both looked at each other and then at .
"We just wanted to know if we will work under soone. Or are we the only two who were going to work on the dresses?" asked Stephan and Daisy nodded.
"Well, I will not lie to you. I am new to this work. So, I am going to let you do the work your own way. I will hire more people with ti as the dresses get more and more successful.
But then I will always make sure that you will always be listened to and treated well. Do not worry about that. Even for the pay, I assure you, I will pay you twice as much as any other boutique." i replied and they both bowed with satisfaction.,
First i have to sell this dress to the crown prince at exorbitant price and then i would get a small room for them. After all, with all the diamonds and this look, the dress would cost a lot.
"Alright, then I will leave. I will send a letter with all the details to Beth.`` I repeated and they both nodded.
I turned to see that Lily was fluttering her eyes as she was looking at Noah drinking tea with his eyes settled on the cup.
'Ah! A love interest! Would this dumb man even notice that the girl was interested in him!' I felt bad for the poor girl's choice of man!
"Shall we go now?" I asked and he nodded. Putting the tea cup on the table. He stood up and straightened his dress.
I nodded at the sibling and then moved out of the house, being followed by Noah.
"Noah"
"Yes, Abigail."
"I can not go back with this dress. Moreover, I need more money to pay everyone. So can you help a bit with it?" I asked and I did not need to tell him twice what he was supposed to do!
"Sigh. I sotis feel that I am your personal staff or ssenger. When in reality you are the one serving as squire." he shook his head at the absurdity of the situation and I puffed my cheeks.
"This is the last ti, I promise. You did not even need to go to the palace. Going to his brothel would do. Or you can go to the gambling house he often visits. The lakeside where his friend and he spent ti. Just et him, present hm the dress and ask him for paynt.'' I pleaded, making a pout that had always worked on him and he closed his eyes and pinched the centre of his forehead.
"So I am even supposed to go to the brothel now! Wow! I wonder where I would end up if I continued to follow you."
"I know, I will be very grateful to you." I replied with all sincerity.
"Tsk tsk.. I don't need your sincerity. Tell what will I get in exchange if I would help you with this?" he asked, tilting his head, making frown. This was the first ti Noah had asked sothing in return.
Well, I do owe him a lot, so I nodded.
"I will do anything you say or give you anything you want" my reply made him stunned once again. Was I not supposed to say yes!
"Anything.. Do you even know the gravity of this word, Abigail!" he scolded, his voice was coming with too much pressure as if he was controlling his anger.
"Do not make excuses, tell if you are going or not?" I asked cutting the chase and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then he forwarded his hand without saying a word. I smiled as I passed the dress to him. He held it tightly in his hand and moved out of the house.
I followed him as we reached the carriage who was still waiting for us there.
"Would you be fine alone?" he asked once I climbed the carriage and I nodded.
"But how will you go without the carriage?" I asked as I opened my pouch to pass him so silver coins but he shook his head.
"My horse is tied in the distance. I will use it. Now go. Thy would be already back in the tea house.`` Only then did I rember I had jumped the window that I needed to climb again.
I nodded my head and bid him farewell as I instructed the man to take back to the tea house as fast as he could. All the way I kept looking out of the window and only took a breath of relief when we reached there.
When I reached the tea house, I walked discreetly to the back area and tried to look at the trees. I was trying to find a perfect tree to climb so that I could reach the window.
At last I found a strong one and started climbing it. But before I could go further, I heard a voice I did not like for years. But she still had the best timings to catch rad handed.
"What do you think you are doing here, Abi?"
