Chapter 149: Abandoned I
"It is... difficult," Jenna said with a sigh.
She traced a finger over the tear that Emmeline had created, her face growing red with a mixture of anger and frustration.
"This dress was one of a kind. Every dress here is, but this... this is different. It took the work of multiple designers over the course of five years to create. Before your mother had even gone off to college, Horace and I had already started working on this masterpiece all in hopes of her wearing it when her wedding day arrives."
Jenna slumped even further. "The fabric that was chosen... the amount of work that had gone into the dress... everything would take more than a few weeks to fix, that’s for sure. What’s more, the designers that I’ve worked with have all gone off to open their own boutiques― they won’t have the time to help."
"If it’s manpower you’re worried about, fret not," Matteo calmly said. "I’m sure I can find someone." Taking his phone out of his pocket, he tapped the screen rapidly before bringing the phone to his ear. "Please excuse me."
He then stepped away, speaking into it in hushed whispers.
Jenna barely even batted an eyelid as Matteo stepped to one side. She sat in the middle of the mess― the boutique looked like it had been swept over by a typhoon. Everything was a mess, with shards of glass, ceramics, trampled flowers, and spilled liquids everywhere.
All throughout her career, Jenna had never faced such an absolute disaster!
She tightly clenched her fists the longer she surveyed her precious little boutique. Anger bubbled and brewed in her chest, quickly replacing the dismay of the torn dress.
