Chapter 152
âMister Kirby, I donât mean thatâ¦â Vicky tried to explain herself.
However, Mister Kirby seemed indifferent to her attempt, and his expression
hardened into apathy. âLet me be frank with you: this shirt was given to me by
someone important.â
âSomeone importantâ¦gave it to you?â Vicky felt like she landed herself in hot
soup. It was easy to repay or replace an item with something similar if it was
damaged. However, it was hard to compensate for something that meant a lot to
someone.
Enter titleâ¦
Mister Kirby looked at the nicely displayed white shirts on the shelf in the store
and said, âMaybe you think money can buy everything, but to me, there are
things you canât buy even if you have a lot of money.â
Guilt gnawed at Vicky. âIâm sorry. I didnât know this shirt meant that much to
you.â
She looked at his shirt and thought deeply before she said, âWhy donât you give
your shirt to me first? Iâll sew back the buttonâ¦â
She was afraid he misunderstood something and quickly said, âSince this shirt
is very meaningful to you, it wonât be the first even if I buy the exact same one
for you⦠So why donât I sew back the button and give it back to you?â
Mister Kirby looked at her dubiously. âYou know how to sew?â
Vicky nodded.
He looked at her from top to bottom and talked with his lazy and deep voice,
âMiss Shaw, I can tell you are from a wealthy family from the way you spend
your money. You donât look like you are good at sewing. Plusâ¦â
He smiled, yet his expression had a hint of malice. âI can forgive you because
you didnât mean to pull off the button from my shirt, but if you damage it further,
Iâm not going to be as nice as I am now.â
Vicky was undeterred as she smiled. âIâm a fashion designer, and sewing is a
piece of cake to me. You donât have to worry about that.â
Mister Kirbyâs eyes flashed. âA fashion designer?â
She took out a name card from her bag and handed it to him. âThis is my name
card.â
He used his clean, slender fingers to accept the name card Vicky passed over
and glanced at it. âVicky Shaw, director of Shaw Atelierâ¦â
After that, he looked at Vicky again. âAlright. Iâll trust you this time.â
âLetâs go get a shirt that you prefer so you can take off your shirt for me. After I
sew the button back, Iâll send it back to you,â said Vicky. âWhat do you think?â
Mister Kirby agreed with her suggestion reluctantly. âAlright, then.â
This time, he did not try to trouble Vicky and chose a white shirt he could
accept, changing out of his shirt afterward.
Before he said anything, Vicky took the initiative to pay using her credit card. As
such, Mister Kirby made no remarks.
After they left the shop, Vicky said, âMister Kirby, Iâll fix your shirt as soon as
possible.â
He nodded. âIâm only free next weekend. Please call me ahead before you send
it back.â
âWhatâs your phone number?â Vicky asked.
He looked at the number on his name card and called her.
After confirming each otherâs numbers, Mister Kirby left.
Vicky went home with his shirt in a bag.
Tyler only returned home when it was nearly 11 at night. He looked slightly irate
and serious as if there was an evil vibe surrounding him.
Most of the time, Tyler did not like to show his true expression to the world.
Vicky hardly ever saw him in such a state, too.
