Carrie declined Henry's offer to send her to work.
When she's in the taxi, her phone suddenly ring!
It was Stacy, a friend from a university.
Carrie swiped her phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Carrie!" The woman from the other line shouted excitedly!
Carrie took away her phone from her ear!
"Hey! Why are you shouting?"
" Oh I'm sorry! I am just excited!" Stacy continued to speak excitedly.
"Why?" Carrie asked.
"Carrie, I'm engaged!"
Carrie gasped! "Really?! Oh my! Congratulations!" Carrie felt excited too.
"Thanks! And you're gonna be one of the entourage!"
"Oh, sure!"
"Eh! Carrie, since, your brother owned a clothing company, could you recommend, someone who can design my wedding gown?"
"Hey, why don't you hire a your favorite designer?" Carrie asked.
"I'm sure you can afford it!" She added.
"Oh! My favorite designer is soo busy, I don't think she can make it." Stacy said with regrets.
"Why not?" Carrie asked.
"My wedding will happen two months from now. And my favorite designer is not available during these times. She will be out of the country during these months." Stacy explained.
"Oh!" Carrie blurted out.
"Hey, could you recommend anyone from your company?" Satcy asked again.
Carrie think for a moment, and then the image of one person popped on her mind.
"Yeah I have someone in mind. " Carrie said.
"Oh! Thanks goodness!" Satcy is really thankful.
"I'll just call you if she's available to design your dress ."
"Alright! Thanks a lot, Carrie! !" Stacy said.
"Enn.. I have to go now, I need to get back to work."
When Carrie arrived at the TTCC , she did not go straight to her office, instead she went straight to her brother's office to ask for a favor.
"What brought you here?" Jian asked without looking to his sister.
"Gēgē, can I disturb you for a while ?" Carrie asked her brother, with her sweet voice.
"What do you want?" Jian asked.
"Uhm... Can you do me a little favor?"
"What is it?" Jian asked without an expression on his face.
"Its like this, My friend from a university is getting married two months from now. And she asked if I know someone who could design her wedding dress..."
"And?" Jian is still lookong at the documents in his table.
"And I recommended sister Nana." Carrie replied .
This time, Jian stopped flipping the pages of the files that he is reading, and he look up to his sister.
"Uhm, since... Sister Nana is already done with her designs for the winter edition, I suppose this can't create a conflict with her work." Carrie tried to explain.
But there is no reaction from her brother.
"Gēgē, please..." She tried to use her pitiful look; but her brother is still unmoved.
"Gēgē, my Friend was sick, and this wedding is so important to her!
" She had always wished for this moment to come. And I don't want to destroy her happiness!"
Yes! That was true!
Her friend was sick, but it was just a fever!
Jian took a deep breath and then he wave his hand as if he is gesturing his sister to get out.
But Carrie won't give up easily.
"Gēgē, please answer me."
"Enn..." Jian nodded.
Carrie smiled, " Brother, is that a yes?"
"If she will agree to you, then it's a yes!" Jain replied.
"Oh! Thank you brother! You're the best brother in the whole wide world!" Carrie excitedly get out the office and headed straight to Natalie.
"Sister Nana!" Carrie called Nana as soon as she open the door.
Natalie almost jump out when Carrie suddenly popped out from the door!
She was startled by Carrie's sudden arrival!
"Carrie! Are you going to kill me from heart attack?!"
"Oh, I'm sorry if I startled you!" Carrie apologized.
" Come sit down ." Natalie invited Carrie to get inside when she calm down.
"How may I help you?" She asked.
"Sister Nana, could you do me a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Uhm, Could... could you design a wedding dress for my Friend?"Carrie said straight forward .
"Uhm..." Natalie is obviously having a second thought.
" There's no need to be worry, about, I have already asked my brother about this."
"And he agreed?!" Natalie asked doubtfuly.
"Enn!"
"Oh! If it's ok with the CEO, then why not?"
"Really sister Nana?! You agree?!" Carrie seems so happy!
"Yes!" Natalie replied.
"Thank you so much sister Nana! Are you free this coming weekend?"
"Hmmm... I think so."
"We will go to Hangzhou to meet my friend, so that the two of you can talk for the design!"
Natalie nodded her head repeatedly.

It's finally weekend.
Natalie woken up early, because she and Carrie are going to see her friend in Hangzhou.
"Are you going to work today?" Mrs. Zhuang asked when she saw her daughter preparing her things.
"No mom, I'm going out of town today." Natalie replied.
"Out of town?"
"Ennn... I have a client form Hangzhou, and I need to meet her." Natalie explained.
"Oh! So, are you going alone?"
"Nope! Carrie is coming with me."
"Carrie?" Mrs. Zhuang already heard that familiar name.
"Uhm, Jian's sister."
"Oh!" Mrs. Zhuang blurted out.
"I have to go mom."Natalie kissed her mom before she opened the door and left.

Hong residence
In the living room.
"Gēgē, please." Carrie begged her brother.
"Carrie, I already said No!" Jian replied coldly while his eyes never left his phone.
"But Gēgē, Stacy needs to meet Sister Nana today." Carrie insisted.
She asked her brother to accompany Nana to Hangzhou.
"Gēgē, I can't drive! my leg hurt so much. "
Yes! She pretended to accidentally slipped in the bath room this morning !
"Then , why don't you let your friend come here in Shanghai?" Jian is still unmoved.
"Gēgē, I already told you that she's sick!" Carrie replied.
"Then let's wait until the next weekend. I'm pretty sure your leg is healed by that time." Jian said.
"But Gēgē, Sister Nana will run out of time if we will wait 'till next weekend!"
"The wedding is happening next month!"
Carrie tried to make a lie just to make her brother agree.
"Then, make them find another designer." Jian suggested.
"Gēgē, you're so cruel! I already made a promise to my friend and I can't break that!"
Carrie revealed a pitiful look, but Jian did not even bother to look at her.
"Alright!" Carrie is planning to use her last card!
"I guess I will just let her go alone. I will just give her the complete address , and if she get lost and can't come home, it would be your fault!"
Upon hearing Carrie's last words , Jian quickly put down his phone and he get up from his seat. He then go up stairs without looking back to his sister.
"Eh! Gēgē!" Carrie called Jian but he just ignore her.
