Chapter 380 Call Grandma
With Luke's help, Poetic Patterns' physical stores were set up in no time. From renovations to opening in major shopping districts across several top-tier cities, it only took a couple of months.
Elsa transitioned from online to offline, from being in the spotlight to working behind the scenes, all with remarkable ease.
After all, Karen was exiled abroad, Margaret was confined to a mental institution, and even Jasmine, who couldn't stand Elsa's success, was swiftly sent out of the country after causing trouble. Now, with no obstacles in her way, Elsa's work naturally progressed smoothly.
From late autumn to winter, even before Christmas arrived, Elsa had already cut the ribbon for over ten stores.
Meanwhile, Chloe and Jonathan's relationship was also making progress.
Elsa had seen Jonathan's personal belongings at Chloe's place more than once. Sometimes it was a men's shirt hanging in the closet, sometimes a pair of men's boxer briefs left in the bathroom, and sometimes Jonathan's wallet and phone. Elsa quickly went from being surprised to accepting it as normal.
She didn't ask about their relationship status, but it was clear that things were developing.
Urban professionals eagerly anticipated Elsa's physical stores. As soon as they opened, they made headlines across various cities, and daily sales kept increasing.
Seeing how profitable the business was, Elsa invited Chloe to invest. She wanted to share the success with her friend and felt most comfortable leaving the domestic business to Chloe if she returned to school.
Jonathan had no objections, and Chloe was thrilled to have more opportunities to work with Jonathan. She immediately invested a billion dollars.
The three of them went to the business registration office to update the capital and shares. After negotiations, Elsa held 40%, while Chloe and Jonathan each held 30%, making Elsa the majority shareholder of Poetic Patterns.
The three friends worked together seamlessly, which greatly facilitated their progress. The only thing Elsa couldn't understand was Jonathan's relationship with Chloe: Jonathan practically lived at Chloe's place, staying four or five nights a week.
Yet, in public, they weren't even officially a couple. Chloe politely called Jonathan "Mr. King," and Jonathan still addressed her as "Ms. Clark," just like before. Elsa couldn't help but wonder if they were this formal even during intimate moments.
Jonathan said, "Ms. Clark, could you please take off your clothes?"
Chloe said, "Mr. King, please don't pull my hair."
Whenever Elsa imagined such scenes, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
With her business running smoothly, it was only a few months before she would go abroad to complete her studies. Life was fulfilling and calm, except for the absence of Luke. Until Elsa met someone new.
One day, Elsa and Chloe were inspecting two of their stores in Maplewood City. On the way back, they saw a red Ferrari parked by the roadside with its hazard lights on. A woman in a black leather jacket was changing a spare tire by herself.
She was slim, with a delicate figure and snow-white hair. Even from behind, one could imagine a stunningly beautiful face.
At that moment, she was bent over, trying to lift the car with a hydraulic jack.
Chloe was driving, and Elsa was in the passenger seat. They exchanged a glance and parked behind the Ferrari.
"Hey, need a hand?" Chloe called out as they both got out.
The woman turned around and smiled at them. "Don't call me Miss, call me Grandma."
Seeing her face, both of them were taken aback.
