Elizabeth's body stiffened, and her heart was pounding. Looking at the slender and beautiful hand that was holding her tightly, she thought for a while and pulled out her arm quietly.
Lisa raised her volume discontentedly and said, "Leo!"
"Shh!" Paul made a gesture of silence to her. "You're really not like a lady."
Hearing this, Lisa's face changed a bit. She paused for a moment and then said patiently, "You're holding a concert, not playing. How can you decide on your suit designer so hastily?"
Leo spread out his hands and sat in the chair in front of Lisa's desk. He said, "How can you call this playing? In all these years, when have you ever seen me not caring about my own business? I've seen her designs. I like it. So I just want her."
Elizabeth bit her lip and her body trembled slightly. She was excited and delighted when she heard Leo's words. But when she heard Lisa's objections, she felt worried and nervous then.
Lisa glanced at Elizabeth, "But..."
"You don't have to say anymore. That's it."
"..." Lisa glanced at Elizabeth with a complicated look and said to Leo, "Are you sure?"
"Of course." Lisa looked not that happy, but she still looked at Elizabeth and said, "Congratulations! You got the first customer in your life."
***
Elizabeth didn't know how she got out of Lisa's office and how she went back to the lounge. She sat there for a long time, still feeling that everything was a little unreal.
Generally speaking, designers would always start their career as an assistant. After gaining enough experience, they could be noticed by more people and get more opportunities step by step.
But she was a little too lucky, wasn't she? The first design she did was for such a famous superstar. He even asked her by name to design it!
If... if she did well this time, she would really learn a lot. If she started her career on a high note, she'd have the opportunity to gain more experience and insight. And when she became good enough, she would be able to make the future of Liang Company even better, wouldn't she?
She was so excited that she couldn't find a word to describe it. And she was so happy that she couldn't even stop smiling.
It was the ringing of the phone that brought her back from her overwhelming joy.
It was from James.
Looking at his name on the screen, her excitement and joy were swept away, leaving only the sadness brought by yesterday's test.
She did not pick it up. The call, which was automatically hung up, came in again.
She pursed her lips. Then she took a deep breath and answered the call.
As soon as the phone was connected, before she could speak, she heard James shouting in a bad tone on the other side, "Elizabeth, where are you? Damn it! Do you know that you are still injured? What are you doing? Where are you going?"
Elizabeth listened quietly and couldn't help but want to laugh. He spoke as if he was worried about her. But she shouldn't think too much about it. He was just treating her as a good friend. That's why he was worried about her.
"Do you hear me? I'm asking you!" James didn't get an answer from her and asked loudly again.
Elizabeth endured the sadness in her heart and said calmly, "Didn't I leave you a note?"
"A note?"
"Yes, it's on the bedside table in the room where I lived yesterday."
"..." James cursed something in a low voice. But after a dozen seconds, he shouted more loudly, "How can you go to Kuture! Damn it! Not only did you not stay in the hospital, but you also went to work?!"
