Stealing Your Heart

Only after hearing an inviting answer did she push open the door.

In the spacious and unique office, there was a rectangle desk in the middle. On both of its sides were mannequins that wore all sorts of beautiful formal attires. There was an elegant elderly woman sitting in the front. Her white hair was in a bun, and she wore a suit.

She had a pearl necklace around her neck, and each pearl, translucent, matched in sizes. It matched perfectly with her pearl earrings, and it made the elderly woman look elegant.

“Sit.” In Mrs. William’s hand was an exquisite box. She kept caressing it lovingly.

Lin Xinyan looked at it and sat down. “Mrs. William, is there anything you need?”

Mrs. William placed the box on the table, but her hand never left the box. She simply said, “I’m planning to open a store in B City of Country Z. You’ll manage it.”

There was only one store of LEO since the start of its business. That was the rule. There were no other branches in any country.

And this primary store was taking in orders from all over the world.

Their service was personalized. Each formal attire and wedding dress that left the store were unique. There was only one piece each of the garment in the world.

That was why LEO was popular amongst women i.e. celebrities who walked the red carpet, women who were marrying. Their attires were vital to the occasions. Therefore, bespoke attire was their primary option.

“Wasn’t it a rule that LEO would never have branches?” Lin Xinyan did not understand.

Furthermore, she was surprised that the location was in B city in Country Z.

That was the place she rejected the most. She would never hesitate to take up the job should it be any other country.

Mrs. William sighed, and said, “No pain, no gain.”

Mrs. William was the founder of LEO. She must be the one who had set the rule.

Mrs. William was ninety. Her rules had been around for at least sixty years. Why would she break the rule so easily?

“Mrs. William, are there some difficulties you’re facing?” Lin Xinyan stared at the box that Mrs. William had been caressing as if it was filled with something precious.

Mrs. William did not seem interested to further discuss. “I’ve decided.” She said.
