Lenny and Scarlett

Chapter 26

"Aren't you here to take everyone's measurements?" Lenny asked, staring down at her.

"Yes." Scarlet nodded nervously.

"I've heard of your professor, Marlon Smith. He's one of the best designers in the domestic design

circle. I also want him to design a suit for me, so you should take my measurements."

Scarlet was shocked and immediately looked up at him.

When their eyes met, Lenny looked into Scarlet's beautiful eyes. Even though he saw a little anxiety in

them, they still shone as if a river of stars flowed through them.

He didn't realize it until now, but his ex-wife had the kind of eyes that could light up the night.

"Why are you so surprised? Doesn't your studio need this business deal? My group just placed a big

order, didn't it?"

"Yes, and I believe my professor will be glad to hear that you want him to design a suit for you. Then I...

I will take your measurements now."

They were talking about Lenny's business partner earlier, but now they were talking about Lenny's suit

measurements all of a sudden.

The sudden change of topic caught her off guard. But anyway, she decided to just take his

measurements and then get going. As a businessman, Lenny was never impulsive. Maybe he made

his decision after careful consideration. She should just keep her nose out of it.

Scarlet quickly took out her measuring tape and notebook and began taking Lenny's measurements.

She had to take the measurements of his shoulders, collar, arms, waist, hip, and crotch. She had to

squat down to take his legs' measurements.

When she measured his waist, she felt like something was wrong. She didn't think it was a big deal

when she did the same to others, but now... Their closeness felt uncomfortably intimate to her.

Next came the crotch and hip. Scarlet squatted down in front of him, feeling that their posture was

somewhat indecent.

She took a deep, steadying breath, forcing herself to calm down. As she quietly took his

measurements, his office door suddenly swung open.

Drake started, "Sir, I have dealt with him..."

Drake's sudden entrance frightened Scarlet. She lost her balance and started tipping forward toward

Lenny's midsection.

Drake saw this intimate scene.

"I'm sorry."

He closed the door immediately.

Lenny's face darkened. Did Scarlet do that on purpose?

Scarlet hastily climbed to her feet with her eyes glued to the floor. She didn't dare to look up at Lenny's

face at all. She was sure that he was flashing her a death glare now.

She could feel his sharp eyes on her, which sent shivers down her spine.

After a while, she inhaled deeply and then blurted out, "I'm done taking your measurements, Mr. Foster.

If there's nothing else I can do for you, I'll go now. I have to take Mr. Cooper's measurements."

Hearing this, Lenny frowned. Suddenly, he imagined Scarlet squatting down in front of Drake and

taking measurements of his hip and crotch.

Did she also take others' measurements that way?

The thought made Lenny extremely uncomfortable and a little depressed. Even he didn't know what

was wrong with him.

"Just go back to your studio. I will have Drake do his own measurements and send the data to you."

"I have to take his measurements myself so that I can be sure that there will be no errors."

"What?" Lenny abruptly raised his voice, and an imposing aura began emanating from him again.

He turned to look at Scarlet. She got so scared that she shut her mouth immediately.

She stopped saying anything anymore. After a few moments of silence, she carefully packed up her

stuff and left Lenny's office.

Sitting in front of his desk, Lenny was in a bad mood. A few minutes later, Drake knocked on the door

and came in.

He looked at Lenny guiltily and said, "Mr. Foster, it's my fault that I didn't knock on the door before

coming in earlier. I'm sorry. I'm willing to have my bonus reduced if you think that's a fair punishment."

"Your annual leave credits will be reduced."

"Sir..." Drake wanted to say something more, but in the end, he decided against it. He was afraid that if

he defended himself, his annual leave privileges would be revoked.

"I got the news this morning that Tripp's construction company was having difficulties. He needed his

cooperation with the Foster Group to make up for his company's losses. It's very likely that if we do

business with them, they will cut corners and sacrifice quality to save money. If we hire them to build

our children's amusement park project and its infrastructure fails, the Foster Group will become the

target of public criticism.

There is another company, though. It's a small construction enterprise that has only been around for

five years, but it's reliable in operation, materials, and internal personnel. It's not yet prominent in the

industry, so its business hasn't boomed yet in the last five years."

"Fine. We'll cooperate with this small construction company. Keep an eye on them. Don't let anything

go wrong."

"Yes, sir. Miss Brown helped us this time, didn't she? You didn't know how to cancel the contract with C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Tripp before and took advantage of this opportunity. You should be grateful to Miss Brown, sir." Drake

spoke cautiously.

Between Rosaline and Scarlet, Drake would choose Scarlet unconditionally.

After all, Scarlet had been nothing but a good wife to Lenny until they got divorced. If it weren't for

Rosaline's sudden appearance, Lenny wouldn't have divorced Scarlet.

Hearing this, Lenny pursed his lips. Then, Scarlet's small, delicate, unmade-up face popped in his

head. Her bright eyes made him feel an avalanche of mixed emotions.
