"Is that the Trade Association? Is it because of them you look so happy, em, Rosa?" Elysia asked after Mr. Francis came out.
"Part of it, yes. And the rest is my business that is going well. Until now, I still had no idea about the Trade Association willing to invest a large amount of money for the development of my business." Rosa looked far ahead with a slightly dreamy expression.
"So, that's why you call me your lucky star? Hum, understandable."
"You have no idea how happy I was from last week until now, Ely. The business started with just me, and now I have forty employees. We make hundreds of clothes and dresses every day, and it's still growing." Rosa breathed a sigh of relief and joy. She had gained peace of mind.
"The almighty and divine still loves you, Rosa. So don't forget to be grateful for all the things you have and get. This is still the beginning and not the destination. Um, please hold onto her for a moment." Elysia smiled softly like a saint from a Holy Church. Then she took something from under the table and gave it to Rosa.
The submissive Vanessa did not hesitate to take on the noble task assigned to her. This time, she just needed not to move for a moment like a doll.
Rosa was still distracted by her feelings of pleasure and relief about her initial business going well. She only accepted what Elysia gave her. Her body seemed to move on its own to stroke the furry doll on her lap.
Hmm... So soft and smooth. Eh? Furry doll? Fur! Rosa was shocked and panicked. She immediately looked down to confirm what was on her lap.
The words surprise and disbelief were not enough to express what she felt at that time. The white furry thing on her lap was a real cat!
"Kya! Ac-hoo... Han-chee..." Rosa threw the white cat on her lap out of reflex and immediately closed her mouth with her hand that did not touch the cat.
She quickly turned to Elysia with a feeling of betrayal. However, Elysia still softly smiled as if she was innocent and ignorant. Rosa's face quickly flushed red, and her allergies flared up.
"Un, that's what I felt this morning. I thought you just wanted me to try on the new dresses you made for confirmation and reference. That's the model I know in dress design and not the promotion model. You didn't say anything about magazines." Elysia didn't feel guilty at all.
She grabbed the cat that had fallen on the floor and put Vanessa on her lap while gently stroking the cat.
"What? I... Ac-hoo... Hachi." Rosa could not finish her sentence. She immediately took the wet tissue on the table and covered her nose and mouth.
"What? Senior Rosa, you used Ely in your magazine without properly asking permission? It was ugly and disrespectful, no wonder Ely was surprised to find out about this dress magazine..." Evelyn accused unhappily.
"Ho? How unexpected and rude. Ely is used as a promotional figure, but she doesn't know it? Can I get the chronology before deciding what's right and wrong?" Rosie also felt dissatisfied.
If she were Elysia, she would definitely confront Rosa head-on and hold all of that accountable, with some stern punishment. However, Elysia was not cruel enough. She only gave a small sentence.
The other students also looked at Rosa as if they weren't expecting it, but they didn't speak immediately. They still needed to wait for an explanation from Rosa, who was still sneezing with a flushed red face.
"I... I! Ac-hoo... Ha-chi..." Rosa couldn't even explain anything. Her allergies had recurred. Her tears began to fill her eyes as if she was going to cry
Unfortunately, she had to explain and couldn't go yet. If she left without explaining anything to take the medicine elixir, she would be considered the guilty party. She would be labeled as a girl with a bad personality.
Rosa didn't want that, not after things had gotten to this point. She blamed herself. She forgot to bring her medicinal elixir.
Elysia watched Rosa sneeze in a continuous barrage without saying much. While Rosa could only cover her nose and mouth with a wet tissue, she always ended up sneezing every time she would talk.
"Are you okay? Maybe I'm a little overboard. Please forgive me. Let me calm your allergies." Elysia became sorry for Rosa. She never thought it would be this bad and severe.
She immediately stretched out her hand and used magic to calm Rosa's nerves and breathing senses, which reacted unnaturally to the fur.
Just to calm it down like silent mode, not cure Rosa's allergy. Recurrent allergies were caused due to the body's reaction to certain factors that trigger them. Elysia didn't have time for sensitivity tests and other tests for that.
"Feeling better? Please forgive me. I didn't expect you would suffer that badly. I..." After Rosa stopped sneezing, Elysia looked at Rosa with concern. However, she couldn't finish her sentence because of Rosa.
"Hshh... It's my fault, no need to apologize. I should have explained everything at the beginning. I became aware of how you felt this morning about me, Ely. I'm the one who has to apologize. Please forgive me, Ely." Rosa bowed slightly to Elysia.
"Ah, um... Alright, I forgive you." Elysia nodded awkwardly. She didn't expect Rosa's 'kind' retribution would turn out like this.
It was only a matter of time until Rosa ran out of breath and passed out, quite a severe allergy.
"Un! Thank you." Rosa happily smiled as she wiped her tears because of her allergies earlier, her face still flushed red.
"May I ask? I think you are quite good at business but, are you bad enough at human relations?" Bianca raised her hands in front of her body.
"En, I lack experience in that matter. During the matter in the contract earlier, I deliberately apologized for my lack of experience because of that." Rosa nodded with an awkward smile. She admitted her shortcomings.
"Oh my... It's terrible in business at the advanced stage. You will suffer losses later if you lack talent in human relations. You just need a lot of practical experience. Why not try observing and studying how human relations in the Trade Association work? You have a great deal from them, right?" Ella gave good advice out of kindness.
"I plan for it, and it will start tomorrow. I need time not because to rethink Trade Association's offer, but to prepare myself." Rosa appreciated the excellent advice given to her.
"Looks like you already have everything in plan besides everything you lack. I know you are a strong girl. You can tell me when bad things happen, ah good things too." Rosie offered to help. Everything was peaceful, and neither party was at fault, just a misunderstanding due to Rosa's inexperience.
"Thank you, President Rosie. I may later trouble you again."
"Hehe... Don't be shy, don't hesitate."
"Oh yeah, isn't it the purpose of all of you coming here to shop for dresses? Why gather around us? Please do some shopping there." Elysia pointed to the shopping section.
Ten of them were considered guests from the limit of 25 visitors, and shoppers kept coming and going. They weren't counted, and the employees were seen the ten of them as guests who came to greet their lady boss, young lady Rosa.
After being bluntly pointed out, the men became awkward because they just came along... Especially Brian, who had achieved his ultimate goal of coming here.
"Ah, speaking of dresses... I've prepared ten new sets of dresses for you, Ely. These are dresses made this week. Please accept them as gifts from me." Rosa took a sizable box from her Space Bag and handed it to Elysia.
It was a flapless box containing ten sets of dresses complete with accessories and ten pairs of beautiful shoes to complement each dress harmonies... Unlike the previous gift, this time was a dozen dresses with accessories.
"This is for me? Another gift?" Elysia could only accept the gift without any chance to refuse because the box was placed directly on her lap.
"Yes! Every time there is a new design that suits you very well, I will give it to you. So, there will still be lots of gifts coming from me, please don't refuse and just consider it my duty. Ah, not to mention the dress I specially designed for you, but it's not finished yet."
Rosa raised her finger to the front, so Elysia would not refuse and not argue, as if she didn't accept the word no or rejection from Elysia.
"Um, alright, thank you very much. I will accept it with pleasure and kindness." Elysia nodded slowly. Rosa was insistent.
However, after she thanked Rosa, the latter sweetly smiled as if waiting for something.
"Err... Do I need to try on all these dresses right now? For the next promotion?" Elysia became doubtful and unsure.
"Yup, you will start working from today. Glad to work together, Ely."
Sure enough, no wonder Rosa was so persistent. 'There is a shrimp behind the stone. There is a hidden motive behind an act.' For some reason, Rosa's kindness was predictable after getting to know her closer.
