Thinking of Mrs. Nancy and the party prepared for Rosie, I didn't have the courage to promise Rogelio
even for the sake of Rogelio.
I can only say to Rogelio in a euphemistic way, "I may not be able to go. I will attend the New Year's
Eve party of the satellite TV this year. I have no foundation, and I am learning dancing and singing on
the spot. At that time, I am afraid that I still need to rehearse. I have to apologize for your kindness."
I found an excuse to refuse. Rogelio pursed his lips with some regret and sighed, "That's really a pity.
In fact, I really hope you can go. I really don't want to face that kind of occasion alone."
"How can you be alone? Mrs. Nancy, Rosie and Amy will be with you. "
With a faint smile, Rogelio was silent. He stirred the food on the plate and asked me after a long time,
"If a man leaves his woman who has followed him for a long time, what will you think of him?"
I thought for a while and answered, "it depends on why he left."
"What if he has an affair?"
"Then this man should be a little fickle."
Hearing that, Rogelio kept silent for a while. Then he forced a smile and said, "Then he is indeed too
fickle."
It seemed that Rogelio was not in the mood to eat at all. He looked at me quietly and urged me to eat
more from time to time, but he ate little.
"But sometimes, even if you are heartless, it will be difficult to control your feelings."
After the meal, Rogelio suddenly said this to me. I always felt that he had something to say, but I didn't
know if I should ask him.
In the afternoon, Rogelio went to work again, and I tried two sets of styling. At the end of the show, he
came to the dressing room to look for me. He looked at my new makeup and said it was very beautiful.
Rogelio told me that he had finished his work and we could have dinner together.
Rogelio chose a very quiet western restaurant. It was so quiet that we were the only two guests.
I looked around. The environment was elegant, and the decoration was high-end and elegant. It was
really strange that there were so few guests. "Why is the business in this shop so dismal? Is it because
it's too expensive? "
Hearing what I said, Rogelio was pulling out the chair for me like a gentleman and smiled inexplicably.
I didn't know what I said was wrong. "Am I too ordinary?"
"No. This shop is really not cheap."
Sitting opposite to me, Rogelio asked, "what do you want to eat?"
I looked at the English menu in front of me. In front of Rogelio, I felt ashamed.
Rogelio took the menu and seemed not see my awkward. "You said you didn't like to make a decision,
so I'll order the dishes."
Rogelio told the waiter many kinds of English dishes, but I couldn't understand any one of them, but I
still said to him, "there are only two of us. Don't order too much. It's a waste."
Seeing that Rogelio smiled again, I suddenly felt that I might need to shut up and listen more and talk
less.
Noticing the embarrassment on my face, Rogelio explained, "I don't mean to laugh at you. I don't know
why, but I like to listen to you very much. Every time I listen to you, I want to laugh, and every time I see
you, I will be in a good mood. In fact, I can't tell why."
"In fact, I know I'm a common citizen. It's a little difficult for me to learn how to talk and act like those
women with good taste."
"Why do you have to learn from others? Just be yourself. At least, you make me feel comfortable. I
have something to say. By the way, I've seen a word on the Internet, which is 'down to earth type '."
When they were talking and laughing, the dishes were served in the same way. At that time, it was the
first time that I knew that Western food would be served with appetizers, soup, side dishes, and main
dishes.
While we were eating, Rogelio explained to me and taught me how to use knives and forks and the
dining etiquette of Western food.
The explanation of Rogelio that day was very detailed and I listened carefully.
Seeing that I have generally understood, Rogelio asked me again, "I remember that you said you were
studying fashion design in private."
"Yes."
"Have you designed clothes for yourself?"
I lowered my head slightly and smiled sheepishly. "Yes. In fact, most of the time, my design drafts are
thinking about what I look like and whether I look good on it."
"Can you show me one or two design drafts?"
"My painting? Forget it. I'm afraid you'll laugh at me again. "
Rogelio revealed a look of being wronged, "When did I really laugh at you?"
"But what's the use of my unfinished draft?"
Rogelio said to me with some seriousness, "Don't you have an endorsement for a clothing brand in my
company? I think if your design can be passed in the company, you should take it as a part of our
brand and limited production. You are both our designer and our spokesperson. I think it will be a good
selling point, and the outside world will add a new label to you - talented woman. Of course, if you can
sing that song well at the new year's Eve party, this label will really stick to you."
Hearing what Rogelio said, I couldn't help but think what he said was a good idea.
It was not only good for my reputation, but also a special marketing mode for the Ivey Group if my
design was successful.
"How about this? After I go back, I will try out a few design drafts and give them to you. You can study
them and see if they are useful. It will be best if they can be used. If not, don't force yourself to adopt
them."
Rogelio promised, "Don't worry. I have always been scrupulous in separating public from private
interests. I won't open the back door for you because of our relationship."
I nodded with relief. "That's good. I'll do it as soon as possible."
Rogelio showed a look of appreciation, "I thought you would say something like 'no' again. I didn't
expect you to agree so soon and still want to have a try."
"Since it's a good thing for you and me, why should I refuse? Even if I'm not that kind of material, I have
to have a try so that I won't have any regret."
"It seems that you are not always modest and cautious, making concessions without principles."
I looked at Rogelio with smile, "Are you praising me?"
Rogelio showed a bright smile, then looked at me seriously, "If you get married one day, have you ever
thought about leaving this industry?"
"In fact, I have never thought about becoming a star. It was a coincidence that I came to this stage. The
only time I wanted to be on the stage was when I stood on the T stage with Rosie. At that time, I felt
that it was really proud to stand there as a designer. Now I have to be careful wherever I go. A small
matter will be magnified infinitely by the outside world. I don't want to live such a life. If possible, I want
to be the traditional woman who takes care of her husband and children at home. "
