S21 12. Emily’s New Assistant

Picking up a box from the table, Emily sighed. “Okay. Then, let me explain what you have to do, Auntie.”

She brought it to Barbara’s couch. “Since Daddy said you studied fashion design, I’m sure you know more than me. So, let’s go straight

to practice.”

When Emily opened the box, various shapes of beads immediately reflected the light. Barbara spontaneously frowned. “What is it for?”

“One of my projects is a party dress. You know that fringe is trending, right? I want to make a dress inspired by salsa dancers.”

Barbara’s eyes widened. “Don’t tell me you want me to make the beaded fringes.”

Emily’s lips trembled in amusement. She quickly covered it so she wouldn’t laugh.

“Unfortunately, I need some fringe samples. You should make them, Auntie. Ten combinations of samples are enough. Then I need 10 fringes with different lengths for each combination. The minimum length is 10 cm.”

“Ten combinations?” Barbara’s jaw dropped.

“Yes.” Emily picked up a bead with her tiny thumb and forefinger. “It’s up to you what pattern you want. Make what you think is the best. The strings are here and the equipment is in the drawer.”

Barbara snorted in annoyance. “Why did you order me? Why don’t you just do it yourself?”

“Because you are my assistant, Auntie, and I have other more important things to take care of.”

Barbara folded her arms across her chest. Her face twisted. “What important things can a child your age take care of?”

“Soon we will enter the fourth quarter. I have to submit my quarterly business report to Daddy. So, I need to recap a lot of things.”

“Why don’t I make the report? You made the samples.”

“Can you really do it? You even needed Philip’s help to make a portfolio.”

The man standing in the corner of the room failed to hold back his laughter. His voice made Barbara’s cheeks redden.

“Then what is his job? Instead of standing there, wouldn’t it be better if he made the samples?”

“Philip is busier than the two of us. He holds many positions.” Emily nodded, reassuringly.

“But look at him! He’s relaxed!”

Emily glanced briefly. Philip smiled sweetly at her. “That’s because he is monitoring Auntie to report to Daddy. If your work is not right, you will not get a salary or even be fired.”
