Chapter 39 (1/2)

Karenin's words are like the most powerful protective force in the world, isolating all the troubles and anxieties.

Anna remembers that in the end she didn't say anything. She just held each other for a long time until they had to part.

From that moment on, the world seemed to be different again.

Before, although she asked him that way, she would still feel uneasy in the face of reality, but now, she is fearless.

After coming to the tailor's shop, after Mr. Gorman came to the shop, Anna said, ”I think it's very unfair of you to do so to Mr. prokhov.”

The green eyed man looked up at her and said coldly, ”have you forgotten what you are here for?”

”I'm not going to go to prokhov to say anything, but I don't want you to regret it later.”

Mr. Gorman began to settle accounts, and his eyes were not giving to Anna.

Anna knew she was listening, but since Mr. Gorman was not going to respond to her, she said no more.

This is the way it is in the world.

When I was young, I would think that everything around me was related to myself. When I grew up, I contacted more and more people and found that being too enthusiastic would make people uneasy.

Her husband made it clear to her that love for the world should not be condemned, but at least protect yourself. After all, for the person who loves you, no matter how good others are, it has nothing to do with them. No matter how worthy others are, they cannot sacrifice themselves.

”Miss Eliza will come to pick up her dress today.” Anna said. She glanced at the clock. ”We have six hours left.”

”We?”

Mr. Gorman stopped his movement. He slowly raised his head. His green eyes reflected the appearance of the boy, and his slightly upturned mouth was full of confidence.

”Yes, I must show you my little talent, too.” Anna chuckled softly.

She went to the door, left the door ajar, made it look as if it was not open for business today, and then assembled the simple dummy model that cabidonec had asked him to make in the morning, and hung the garment that Mr. Gorman had made.

That dress is the most popular off the shoulder skirt at present. Conservative dress is a big taboo for social flower. Now the popular off shoulder skirt can better outline the full chest of Russian women.

Because miss Eliza has very pure blonde hair, the background color is quite elegant. The hip pad is made high there, and it seems to have a trace of holy sexuality in general.

”Are you trying to poke a hole in it with your eyes?” Mr. Gorman said coolly that he didn't really put his hope on Anna.

”I'll take it, but don't worry. I've got a spare set.”

”Spare?”

Mr. Gorman sneered: ”I'm generous to teach you a lesson, Pavel. If you really want to do this, you have to learn the word ”spare.”

”You are really...” Anna dragged on, deliberately saying, ”cunning.”

Mr. Gorman gave her a look.

”You need to learn more about culture than I do.”

Anna laughed. ”OK, I'll listen, but please let me finish.”

”I just think the word” spare ”is really out of style. It's not in line with the reputation of our shop. Let those shameless villains continue to laugh.”

”We don't need a spare because we can create something better than this dress. Mr. Gorman, you and I, we can do it together.”

”Big talk boy.” Mr. Gorman didn't believe it, but it was clear that he was in a better mood.

Compared with the honest but stupid man, a man as proud and talented as he is obviously ignorant of humility. Anna this does not shrink back and confident approach, obviously offset a bit of her ”relationship” impression.

”I'm not talking big.” Anna went to the mannequin and rubbed her slender fingers over the thin shoulder straps of her skirt. Then she looked back at Mr. Gorman and said, ”if it's the fashion to take off now, we'll do the opposite and put them on.”

Anna made a gesture with her hand and then said, ”here, with the lace sleeves, the neckline doesn't need to be too low. The pleats of the skirt should be made bigger to make the waistline in the most natural position. And at the back, lots of velvet flowers. It's like spring. ”

”I've met Miss Eliza. She's not tall, and her protruding chest doesn't fit her.” Without waiting for Mr. Gorman to say anything, Anna ran to the counter, grabbed the pen and began to daub it.

Three minutes later, she showed the painting to Mr. Gorman, who looked at it carefully for ten minutes.

”How about it?” Anna asked nervously, not as confident as she had been.

Mr. Gorman put down the drawing, looked at Anna with green eyes for a long time, and then said, ”why did you come to me?”Anna listened and finally replied, ”you know who I am, don't you?”

”Yes and No.” Mr. Gorman snorted softly.

”I know you're a woman, and I know you can't come from a poor family. But I don't want to know who you are or where you come from. It was just a game for the rich. ”

”I'm not, Mr. Gorman. Please don't think so.” Anna shook her head.
