Elaine stood quietly, listening to Vienna’s sharp words, before holding up the package.
“This is for you. I saw you liked it.”
Vienna looked at her, stunned, searching Elaine’s face for any sign of mockery or superiority, but found only genuine kindness and compassion.
A heavy silence hung in the air between them.
After a moment, Vienna sighed, her voice softening.
“No need. You can keep it.” She turned to leave.
Just then, a bright, pleasant voice interrupted the tension.
“Ms. Hobbes, thank you for initially giving our movie the best screening times.” Vienna turned to see Isabella.
Isabella smiled warmly and sincerely at her.
“Without that, perhaps not so many people would have seen our film.”
“Don’t overthink it. I did it for the profit.” Vienna waved her off, slightly uncomfortable.
“I know, and you certainly have a keen eye for investment.” Isabella smiled even wider.
From their conversation, Elaine understood the situation more clearly.
She looked at Vienna with gratitude.
Since that incident, Elaine had never returned to her original family.
Her relationship with them had become strained, and she had had no contact with them over the years.
She always thought her family harbored resentment towards her.
But if this was the case, Vienna wouldn’t have helped Isabella.
With this thought in mind, Elaine stepped forward, grabbed Vienna’s hand, and handed the clothing to her.
“Vienna, thank you.”
Vienna felt the warmth in Elaine’s hand.
She said, “There’s no need to thank me. As I have said, I was only doing my job. I schedule films to make money.”
Elaine looked at Vienna with solemn eyes and said sincerely, “Vienna, we haven’t seen each other for so long. I didn’t expect to run into you here. I know it’s fate that let us meet today. So, this calls for a celebration. Let’s have a meal together.”
Vienna looked at Elaine, her brows furrowing slightly.
She subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But when she saw the expectant look on Elaine’s face, she couldn’t bring herself to say no.
Elaine’s face lit up with a warm smile.
She linked Vienna’s arm with hers, and they headed to the restaurant.
In the quiet restaurant, the three sat at a table by the window, facing each other.
Vienna lowered her head and picked up her glass.
The glass touched her lips as she sipped the warm water.
Elaine suddenly asked softly, “How is everything at home?”
Vienna’s hand, holding the delicate glass, froze for a moment.
Then, she gently placed it back on the table and replied plainly, “Not as good as before.” She didn’t intend to hide anything from Elaine.
“How can that be? My brother has always had a keen eye for investments.”
“Things are no longer the same. The market has undergone many changes. However, your brother still insists on traditional craft production. So, the products are too few and the prices are high. Only affluent people can afford our clothes. But the problem is that they chase after designer brands. The number of people willing to buy our products has decreased, so our sales have declined. Fortunately, we still have loyal customers. Otherwise, I’m afraid our family would have gone bankrupt long ago.” Vienna paused before continuing with a hint of sarcasm. “I’ve advised your brother many times, but he’s stubborn, insisting on handmade production. They handcraft every piece of clothing.”
Elaine’s heart tightened as she listened to Vienna’s words. She couldn’t help but sympathize with them.
Of course, she knew very well how stubborn her brother was. He held tightly to tradition, unwilling to bend, no matter the cost.
At this moment, Isabella suddenly chimed in, “Can I see those clothes?”
Vienna was taken aback for a moment.
Then she answered, “Of course, you can. Just search for Timeless Elegance online.”
Isabella felt the name was familiar. She quickly searched for it online, only to realize it was the brand she had followed before.
Indeed, their clothes were of very high quality, entirely made using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
This brand once caused a stir among the upper class.
However, as time passed, their designs had become increasingly ordinary.
Isabella asked, “Did my uncle design these clothes himself?”
“Of course not. He only knows how to make clothes and doesn’t have the talent for design. The company used to have a few talented designers. But as our popularity declined, they all left to work for big names in the industry,” Vienna said with a sigh.
As Isabella listened, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for the family’s business.
Designer brands used top-notch fabrics and metals, so they had excellent quality.
However, the clothes made by her uncle embodied Lorpond’s traditional craftsmanship.
Sewn stitch by stitch, these clothes possessed the beauty of traditional culture and would never lose to those big brands.
“I know a good fashion designer whose style is very suitable for Uncle’s clothing preferences. If necessary, I can ask her to provide design drafts for your uncle’s company,” Isabella offered.
Vienna was a little surprised.
“Sure. Send me her designs, and I’ll show them to your uncle.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Vienna and Isabella exchanged contact information.
Elaine watched them with soft eyes, a warmth spreading through her chest.
She felt a little emotional.
Her relationship with Vienna had been strained for many years.
But because of Isabella, things had changed.
Indeed, Isabella was their family’s lucky star.
The three of them had a pleasant meal.
The atmosphere around them was warm and content.
But after eating, Vienna said goodbye and left.
Elaine was a bit reluctant to let Vienna go.
