Annuo did not accept Harley's offer.
But he didn't refuse to help Harley. After all, the two were barely friends, and Harley had helped Annuo unintentionally.
Harley will purchase the drawings of the specific structure of the clothes from Annuo.
The two chatted for a while and finalized the basic model of cooperation. For specific matters, Harley's friend, the real owner of the tailor shop, would need to come and negotiate with Annuo.
The two chatted for a long time, and finally, when it was getting close to dusk, Annuo sent Harry to the door of his mansion.
Harley looked quite happy, turned around and bowed slightly to Annuo: "Thank you, Lawrence."
An Nuo responded with a smile: "It's nothing, Miss Hallie, chatting with you also gave me a lot of ideas."
Although Harley has never studied art, she has a good taste in beauty and also brings many ideas to Annuo.
"Then, I will still be here tomorrow, waiting for the arrival of you and your friends to discuss a more specific cooperation plan."
"Well, see you tomorrow." Harry bowed slightly and returned to the carriage.
"See you tomorrow." Annuo waved.
The carriage drove away and Annuo sighed.
Harley is very smart. Talking to smart people is sometimes very relaxing and sometimes very tiring.
He looked up at the sky. The night sky, already half dark, looked so mysterious and profound.
Butler Lu Silan appeared at the door: "Master, it's time to eat."
"I know, Lu Silan." Annuo pulled his collar, turned around and walked into the room.
……at night.
Annuo sat on his rooftop, looking at the moonless starry sky with a candle in his hand.
Manlio looked at Annuo, who was looking up at the stars and thinking silently, and sat quietly next to him.
For Manlio, he just needs to follow in Anno's footsteps.
Annuo rescued him from the abyss, provided him with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and also taught him the skills to survive.
Manlio's thinking was simple. He didn't know how to repay him. He only knew that following Annuo and obeying his orders would be perfect.
Annuo lowered his head and wrote and drew on the paper.
The freedom Annuo pursues is actually simpler than Harley's freedom.
That is, just do what you want to do.
Because he wanted to kill Manlio, he saved her, and because he wanted to help Harley, the person who had helped him, he decided to help Harley get rid of her parents and help her with business advice.
What he drew on the paper was not a painting, but a piece of clothing.
Do whatever you want without delay, this is Annuo's "freedom".
An Nuo sat under the night sky and planned until midnight.
…
the next day.
Harley dragged her friend, the manager of the tailor shop, over early.
The store manager looked young, in his early twenties, but he looked cautious.
She looked a little nervous.
"Harry, what kind of person is Mr. Lawrence?" At the door of Lawrence's mansion, the tailor shop manager Fiona Van Derle grabbed Harry who was about to walk in and knocked on the door, and asked in a low voice, "I I don’t understand etiquette either, will it look very rude?”
Harry comforted Fiona: "Don't worry, sister Fiona, Mr. Lawrence is very easy-going."
"Uh, then... okay." Fiona still looked a little stiff and embarrassed. She looked at Annuo's luxurious mansion and swallowed.
She is the daughter of the maid of the Owes family. She has known Harry since she was a child. When they grew up, they got married and lived alone. They also had a relationship.
That's why Harley thought about running away from home and seeking refuge with this sister.
Harley's attitude towards servants is completely different from other noble ladies, so Fiona also cherishes this relationship very much.
Recently, the income of Fiona's tailoring shop has shrunk and the finances are tight. Harley took the initiative to help find a way, and finally found Annuo.
"Miss Hallie, this lady, the master is waiting for you in the office on the second floor." Butler Luslan appeared at the door, guiding Hallie and Fiona.
"Thank you, sir." Harley smiled politely.
"You're welcome." Lu Silan held a hand deep inside, "Please come with me."
Lu Silan led the way, and the two of them followed behind. Fiona looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was looking around carefully.
Some of the works that Anno was particularly satisfied with were not sold, so they were hung on both sides of the corridor. With luxurious decoration, the entire mansion was full of elegance and art.
Lu Silan knocked on the office door and stood aside.
Harley and Fiona walked into Annuo's office.
Annuo was sitting behind a large table: "Hello, Miss Harley and this lady." Miss is a term for unmarried women, and Ms. is a term for married women.
"Hello, Lawrence." Harley smiled and sat on the sofa on the side.
Annuo nodded: "Please sit down first."
He stood up from behind his desk, a stack of paper in his hand.
"What do you call this lady?"
"Hello, dear Mr. Lawrence, just call me Fiona." Fiona was a little flustered.
"Okay, Ms. Fiona." Annuo placed a stack of paper in front of Harley and Fiona. "The basis of the cooperation is my strength. This is my work last night. You can take a look at it first."
Harley's eyes sharpened instantly. She picked up the design drawing Annuo drew and looked at it with Fiona.
The first is a preview of the finished product. It seems to use the night sky as the theme, showing dark blue to black from top to bottom. There are many jewelry decorations on it, like stars, hanging on the clothes.
As always, the rear is enlarged and can be dragged a long distance with the ribbon. The legs can be exposed outside, and the high heels used by men are applied inside.
"Wonderful design." Harley praised.
"That's good." An Nuo smiled appropriately and nodded.
"Is it difficult for you to make such a dress?" Annuo asked.
Cooperation tests the strength of both parties. Now that his strength has been demonstrated, it is Harley's turn to show it off.
Harley and Fiona looked at each other: "No problem."
Very confident.
Both of them have learned skills such as tailoring since they were young. As long as Annuo can provide design drawings, they will have the confidence to make the clothes into real objects.
"So, happy cooperation?" Annuo stood up and stretched out a hand.
Harley nudged Fiona with her elbow.
"Ah, happy to cooperate." Fiona responded, squeezed Lawrence's hand and shook it briefly, then let go.
The cooperation was officially concluded.
…………
Far away Naples.
The ship is docked in the port.
The sailors were unloading the cargo, moving boxes one by one.
In the ship's warehouse, a pair of eyes glowed red.
Behind one pair of eyes, there are ten pairs, hundreds of pairs of identical eyes.
