When Carl walked in, Emma took out a suit and handed it to Carl, and said, “Try it on.”
“Why?” Carl was stunned and asked curiously.
“Just try it.” Emma said directly.
Carl wanted to say something more, but the guide immediately took the clothes and said to him, “Sir, this way, please. Our fitting room is inside.”
“I…” Carl would like to say something to Emma, but Emma has turned away, and said, “Try on the clothes, tell you if you have any questions.”
“Please, Sir.” The assistant greeted again with enthusiasm.
Carl can only follow the guide to the fitting room.
“Sir, your girlfriend is very kind to you.” Said the guide as he walked.
Carl did not know why the guide talked nonsense. Last time they said Cindy and he were a couple, now they said he and Emma were a couple. Only a boyfriend and a girlfriend can but clothes?
“We’re not boyfriend and girlfriend. She’s my boss.” Carl lightly said.
The guide was surprised, looking at Carl and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Sir, I… I… I didn’t mean it, I…”
“That’s all right. Give me the clothes.” Carl said, and then took the clothes into the fitting room to put on, and then opened the door and walked out.
When he opened the door to come out, Emma had been waiting at the door of the fitting room.
“How about size? Does it fit?” Emma asked Carl.
“Are you going to buy me clothes?” Carl asked with a frown.
“Yes, I know what you want to say. I tell you first. I buy you clothes for work, which has nothing to do with us personally. This time we are going to France to talk about cooperation with Aril Group. No matter you are my assistant or interpreter, you need to participate in all our activities with Aril Group. Therefore, what you represent is not you personally, but our whole company and group. So, what you wear is very important to us. In business, impression is very important which can make or break a thing.”
“I brought you here today to buy you two outfits to wear in France for the next few days. This is the work of the company, but also the need of the job, so all expenses will be paid by the company. You can refuse to accept it, but if you refuse then you can’t go to France with me. Now, I’ve explained it to you. Does it fit?” Emma said so before Carl said anything.
Carl looked at Emma, and then nodded, “Yes, it fits.”
“Well, miss, give him another shirt, and take a different colour of this. Wrap it up.” Emma nodded and said to the guide.
“Two sets?” Carl frowned again.
“I am not sure how long it will take to go to France. It depends on the progress of the negotiations. Maybe it will take half a month. If it takes half a month, don’t you need to take a bath? How much is it together?” Emma ignored Carl again, directly asked the guide.
“11, 000 dollars.” The guide worked it out quickly.
“Well, you pack his clothes and I’ll get the bill.” Emma said, and then took out the card from the bag to the cash register.
Carl frowned again, but finally went into the fitting room to change the clothes and handed them to the guide. Emma gave the reason he could not refuse, but taking other people’s things made Carl feeling not good.
After buying clothes, Emma took Carl to buy shoes. Of course, they were high-grade worth a lot of money.
“Well, now go to the hospital, you go to see your sister, and then pay more money to the medical card. After lunch we go to the company. After a meeting we go to the airport.” Emma said to Carl directly after coming out of the mall.
Carl just nodded, without saying anything, drove directly to the hospital. He deposited 15, 000 dollars into the card, and then went to the intensive care unit. This is the first time for Carl to enter the intensive care unit.
When Carl went in, Frost was awake, but she looked very weak with a lot of bottles of liquid medicine. Her lips were dry.
Seeing Carl came in, Frost was very happy, shouted brother in her hoarse voice.
“Well? How do you feel, Frost?” Carl went to the frost and asked.
“Fine, but just a little hungry.” Said Frost.
“Hungry? I can’t help it. The doctor says you can’t eat just yet. Hold on, I’m sure you can fight it.”
Carl gave courage to Frost and said to her, “Frost, I will go to France with Manager Li on a business trip this afternoon and may not be able to come back for some time, so I may not be able to visit you these days, but I will call the doctor every day to get to know about your condition. The most important thing is, you must be strong, fight it, ok? I hope when I come back from France and I see a living Frost, okay?” Carl was sitting beside the bed and said to Frost.
Carl talked with Frost for a while and then went out. He found Frost’s doctor and asked about Frost’s condition. He felt relieved when he heard that her condition was good so far, and walked out of the hospital with Emma.
The two people found a place to have a meal, and then they went back home. The two people packed up their luggage respectively. Emma had a big suitcase, while Carl had a simple luggage, which was still a military canvas bag. Except two basic daily necessities inside, there were only two sets of clothes. Although Emma cannot stand that Carl was carrying a canvas bag, she said nothing about it.
According to what Emma said, Carl drove the car to group headquarters. Emma held a meeting there, and then returned to the company. Emma held another meeting. When Emma came out from the meeting room, it was almost the time to get off work. Subsequently, Carl and Emma went downstairs, got in a commercial vehicle with other people going to France. In addition to Carl, Emma and Linda, there were four people, including two men and two women. Everyone got on the care and went straight to the airport.
