"Miss Sasha, I'm so sorry, so sorry. You were very clear about the time, it's my fault. I'm on my way now and will be there shortly."
"Don't you dare use traffic as an excuse! I've already left my place and the roads are clear. Traffic? Where are you stuck? Stuck at your own doorstep, or stuck in bed unable to get up!" Sasha's voice rose again. "Your company doesn't treat customers like people, and you don't take my words seriously!"
Gu Susu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with our company; it's my personal problem. Whatever negative consequences this has caused you, I will bear all the responsibility personally."
"You bear it? Can you afford to bear it! Are you expecting me to go to such an important event without any clothes?" Sasha grew angrier as she spoke.
Gu Susu quickly said, "Where are you now? I have the altered dress with me. Is it too late for me to bring it to you?"
"Bring it to me, deliver it to the dressing room at the Garden Church immediately!"
"Okay..." Before Gu Susu could finish her word, the other party had already hung up in anger.
She immediately re-navigated and rushed to the location Sasha had mentioned.
Upon arriving at the church, she didn't look around or think too much, directly finding the dressing room.
In a private room of the dressing room, Sasha was reapplying her makeup, with her assistant and makeup artist beside her.
Gu Susu ran in and handed the dress to Sasha's assistant, saying, "I'm sorry, Miss Sasha, please try it on and see if it fits after the alteration."
Seeing her arrive in a sweat, Sasha didn't say anything more to blame her. She just glanced at her indifferently and said, "Help me put it on."
Gu Susu could tell from her expression that there was still time and it wouldn't delay her important matters. She carefully helped her put on the altered dress.
Sasha, wearing the altered dress, stood before the mirror, looking graceful and unique. The alteration at the waist was particularly striking yet elegant.
Looking at herself in the mirror, her anger finally subsided a bit. She placed her hands on her abdomen, about to praise Gu Susu, when she suddenly cried out, "Oh no, what is this? It's pricking me so badly!"
Gu Susu hurried to check and found that a needle had been forgotten. She apologized profusely again, "I'm so sorry, it's a needle. Please don't move, I'll remove it right away."
As she spoke, she quickly removed the needle, but Sasha's finger had already been pricked and was bleeding.
Sasha's assistant quickly came over, pressing on her finger to stop the bleeding and asked, "Miss Sasha, are you alright?"
Sasha raised her eyebrows and glared at Gu Susu, "I think you did it on purpose, you wanted to prick me with a needle!"
"No, no!" Gu Susu tried her best to explain, "I was late finishing the dress alteration last night and rushed here this morning. I didn't check carefully. I really didn't do it on purpose."
Sasha said to her assistant, "Go find a lawyer. I want to sue Trend Company..."
"It was my fault for injuring your finger. I can compensate you, it has nothing to do with the company," Gu Susu said urgently. "I'll accept any amount of compensation."
Sasha casually said, "One million. If you can produce one million now, I won't sue your company..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the dressing room door, and someone asked, "Sasha, are you ready? The wedding guests are almost all seated."
Sasha's assistant heard the voice and hurried to open the door.
Gu Susu didn't pay attention to who was outside. She couldn't possibly produce a million dollars immediately. She said cautiously, "Miss Sasha, this compensation amount is too high. Can you reduce it a bit? Your finger was just pricked by a needle, and it's not bleeding anymore. One million is too much..."
The person outside walked in and was surprised to see Gu Susu inside. He asked, "Miss Gu, you're here too? What are you talking about, one million?"
Gu Susu finally noticed that the person who entered was Mark and was also very surprised. "Mark."
Sasha also asked in surprise, "Mark, do you know Miss Gu?"
Mark replied simply, "Yes. What happened?"
Gu Susu was unsure of Mark's relationship with Sasha. She fiddled with her fingers and said, "I accidentally left a needle in the altered dress, and it pricked Miss Sasha's finger. I am willing to compensate..."
"Compensate for what?" Sasha's face instantly lit up with a smile. "It's fine, such a fine needle pricked me, it's not a big deal, no compensation is needed. You altered the dress beautifully, thank you."
Gu Susu was stunned by Sasha's sudden change in attitude.
Mark, however, seemed to have figured something out and said, "You're not going to make Miss Gu compensate you a million for pricking your finger, are you?"
"How could I? It's nothing like that," Sasha immediately denied.
Mark said coldly, "Even if Miss Gu could afford it, could you accept it?"
"I've already said it's nothing like that. Why don't you believe me?" Sasha turned around in front of him and said, "Look how beautiful the dress Miss Gu altered for me is. I should be thanking her."
Mark hummed and said respectfully to Gu Susu, "Miss Gu, from now on, if you have any clothes that need altering, just give them to me. I'll handle it for Sasha."
Sasha's change was too abrupt, leaving Gu Susu bewildered. She said blankly, "Okay."
Sasha linked her arm with Mark's and said, "I'm ready now, let's go in."
Mark ignored her and said to Gu Susu, "Miss Gu, we're going to the wedding. You should go back quickly, Mr. Yang needs you."
His words made Sasha size up Gu Susu again.
Gu Susu nodded and said okay, surprised that such a troublesome and tricky situation had been resolved so easily, it felt like a dream.
She walked out of the dressing room, preparing to leave the church. As she approached the courtyard near the main entrance, she noticed it was much livelier than before.
Several distinguished-looking elders were standing at the entrance greeting guests. She recognized two of them as being from the same generation as the Qin family's old madam, which made her realize that Qin Tianyi's wedding was today and it was being held at this church.
Mark was here to attend the wedding on behalf of Yang Sijie, but were Mark and Sasha a couple?
She saw Sasha's flattering attitude towards Mark, and Mark seemed to be Sasha's benefactor.
She then recalled the gossip about Sasha from her colleagues. Were they all true?
But she never expected that the benefactor who had propelled Sasha to fame would be Mark. It seemed Mark was also quite wealthy, following Yang Sijie.
In this situation, she was stuck between a rock and a hard place, standing under a tree in the corner of the courtyard. If she left directly through the main entrance, she might be recognized by the Qin family elders.
But if she didn't leave, did she have to witness Qin Tianyi and Shu Yan tying the knot in their happy moment?
She could only stand behind the tree and wait until the Qin family elders were not at the entrance before leaving. She observed from behind the tree for a while. The Qin family elders were very dedicated, standing at the main entrance without moving.
