Chapter 1132 You've Lost Weight
"Is this your family? Why not make your way inside? The gusty winds and chilly weather make this spot far from pleasant," Elizabeth enquired with an air of curiosity.
Janet smiled as she introduced Hannah to Elizabeth. "This is Hannah, my first customer." She then leaned close to Hannah and whispered, "My colleagues would be delighted if you'd join us inside. Please just go inside with me, alright?"
"Allow me to assist you inside, Hannah." Elizabeth's expression was devoid of any judgment or hesitation. With only kindness in her heart, Elizabeth helped Hannah make her way inside.
"I have the pleasure of working alongside Janet, and she has taught me and imparted a wealth of knowledge to me. Our entire team is ecstatic about Janet's venture into independent designing, and you, Hannah, have arrived at an opportune moment. Everyone is anticipating getting to know you as Janet's first client," Elizabeth explained as she handed Hannah a warm cup of tea, noticing her slight unease.
"Thank you, young lady," Hannah murmured gratefully as she took a few hesitant sips of the tea. Despite her nerves, she sensed the genuine warmth from the young lady standing before her.
"Elizabeth, just so you know, she's not fond of excessive talking," Janet interjected, retrieving her measuring tape once more. Recalling that her previously prepared documents had been inadvertently taken by that man she mistook for Mr. L, she resolved to sketch a new design. "Let me take your measurements first."

Hannah rose from her seat tentatively and admitted, "It's been many years since I last had new clothes. The last time was when I got married."
Janet measured Hannah's sizes with a smile and quipped, "It's been quite some time. But I know your sizes. Let's see if you've been keeping up with your healthy eating in the countryside."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Janet's face faltered. She calculated Hannah's size and realized that she had become noticeably thinner.
"You're much too thin! You're even thinner than I was when I lived in Seacisco. As an elderly woman, you must maintain a healthy weight." Janet's voice grew soft, almost in a mumble. Her eyes reddened with emotion, and she suddenly embraced Hannah tightly.
"Don't cry, honey. Look, your coworkers are all here." Hannah remarked with a bittersweet smile, patting Janet on the back. "Don't worry about me, dear. This is just the result of all the farm work I do. I'm glad to see you have good relationships with your coworkers."
Janet wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and vowed, "I'll have to keep a close eye on your weight the next time you come. If you lose weight again, you'll have to come to stay with me and I won't take no for an answer."
"Alright, I'll heed your advice. You're all grown up now, so wipe your tears," Hannah agreed, nodding her head in affirmation.
"Please, go ahead and rest in the VIP room. I'll bring some fabrics for you to choose from," Janet instructed, leading Hannah to the VIP room before closing the door behind her. She then headed to the clothing room to retrieve the fabrics.
"It seems like the lady is more than just a client to you. You two seem really close." Elizabeth sensed a special connection between Janet and the older
woman.
"Hannah raised me when I was young. She's like family to me. Hannah now lives in Seacisco. Brandon brought her here to make me happy." Janet smiled warmly and expounded to Elizabeth.
As she helped Janet select fabrics, Elizabeth couldn't resist teasing her. "Who would have thought that a man like Brandon could change so much for you?"
