Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1120

"A new order already?" Janet murmured incredulously before swiftly tapping the email icon to peruse its contents.

The client made a heartfelt plea to customize a few sets of casual clothing for an elderly lady in the family, whom he claimed was his distant aunt. This lady had toiled hard all her life in the fields, and now in her old age, she suffered from poor health. Moved by compassion, the nephew decided to bring her to the city for a trip and sought to order her some bespoke garments to make her feel comfortable and cared for.

Upon reading the description of the client in the email, Janet's thoughts immediately turned to Hannah. It dawned on her that she hadn't visited Hannah in quite some time, leaving her concerned for Hannah's wellbeing. She couldn't help but wonder how Hannah was faring lately.

Janet accepted the order, perhaps out of empathy stemming from her ability to relate to and understand the old lady's situation.

Come lunchtime, Janet shared the news with Elizabeth.

"Are you out of your mind? The price you ask for is too low." Elizabeth coughed. "We hardly made clothes for the elderly before, and this is your first order under your name rather than the studio name. Since this is your first attempt, you should approach it with care and precision. If you took such a low-paying order, it could potentially backfire. After all, it's not a charitable event."

"This is the price I'm considering offering. I just thought it would be better not to charge too much

for the clothes made for that old lady. However, I haven't communicated my price to the client yet. I plan to discuss the matter further with him this afternoon." Money wasn't at the forefront of Janet's mind, as she was eager to showcase her skills and capabilities.

"Let's go talk to him together after lunch. Even if you have a lot of money, the price must be reasonable. You need to realize that W Marks is a luxury brand. As an independent designer who used to work there, you have to uphold the studio's reputation and standards," Elizabeth suggested, dabbing at her mouth with a serviette.

Upon returning to the W Marks Studio, Janet was greeted with more emails regarding the price the client was willing to offer. She settled herself down and took a moment to read through them.

"The amount offered is quite substantial!" Janet exclaimed in surprise, caught off guard by the unexpectedly high price. Her initial reaction was one of caution and wariness.

"It seems that your client has familiarized himself with the W Marks prior to quoting a price." Elizabeth analyzed the situation and concluded that the amount offered was similar to the typical order price for evening dresses W Marks got.

Nonetheless, Elizabeth still found it somewhat suspicious. "Be sure to proceed with caution. He claims to be the lady's distant nephew. We should question why he would be so generous towards a relative he hasn't seen in a long time."

"I think it would be best for me to meet with him in person first to discuss the details." Janet promptly called the client to arrange a meeting.
