Chapter 206 - 206: 206: Who is His Wife?
Was he seriously sick?
Xaviera Evans felt conflicted but couldn’t help but make a call to Caleb.
At the Mamet Corporation, Caleb was lazily leaning on the couch, holding his mobile phone, his voice indifferent: “Work an extra shift in the next few days and design several outfits.”
The woman hurriedly asked, “…Caleb, what kind of dresses do you need? Is it for attending some event?”
“It’s not for me to wear, but for a woman. I’ll send her measurements.” Caleb said thoughtfully: “Four sets for each season, and deliver them by next week.”
The woman gasped and smiled awkwardly: “Caleb, a total of sixteen gowns is a lot! I might not even be able to finish the sketches, let alone make the final product. Custom-made dresses have to be hand-made, so they take a long time. I really don’t think I can finish these within that short period of time…”
“If you can’t do it, there’s no reason for me to continue investing in you.” Caleb didn’t want to listen to any more of her excuses.
On the other end of the phone, designer Zara Woods bit her lip and forced a smile: “Alright… I’ll do my best.”
Zara tested the waters: “Caleb, is this lady your… I just want to know her age, so the style of the dress will be tailored according to her age, so…”
Caleb was about to hang up the phone but answered calmly: “She’s my wife.”
Zara’s breathing hitched, her voice trembling: “You… got married? I thought you had no interest in women? And why didn’t you tell me when you got married? I would have liked to attend.’
Caleb frowned slightly, clearly getting annoyed.
Zara laughed: “Now that I know it’s for your wife, I’ll keep that in mind. I promise to complete the task. Plus, I’m going to return to China soon. I want to have a meal with you since we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
“Caleb, is that okay? You can bring your sister-in-law too. I really want to see who is so lucky.”
After saying that, there was a moment of silence on the line, making Zara extremely embarrassed.
Caleb seemed busy, but just impatiently responded: “Hmm, we’ll see.”
The call mercilessly ended, leaving Zara’s face darkened.
Unexpectedly, Caleb had married quietly. There had always been rumors about his refusal to get involved with women, and indeed, he had no scandals. That’s why Zara had always believed that she was special.
After all, they had been childhood playmates. Their families were well-matched, and they used to dine together frequently, which is why she had casually called him Caleb.
Since they were childhood friends, Caleb didn’t hesitate to invest in Zara’s fashion studio.
She was good at maintaining her boundaries, referring to herself as Caleb’s close friend in public. She also often accompanied him to events. She was the only woman who could stay by his side all these years.
She had originally thought that when it was time to get married, Caleb would marry her. But now, he had married someone else.
Which bitch had seduced Caleb?
Zara’s face darkened, and she picked up her phone to make a call.
Her tone was soft: “Jake, how come I didn’t know that Caleb got married? He just told me, and he wants me to design dresses for Mrs. Mamet. How come I didn’t hear anything about him dating before?”
The person on the other end sounded surprised: “Who? Caleb? I don’t know either!”
Zara said helplessly: “Such a big event like a wedding, and he didn’t even tell us.”
“Caleb not informing everyone about his wedding might be because he doesn’t like the woman. It could be that his family pushed him too hard, so he just picked a random woman to please the elders. They might even divorce someday,” the other person reasoned.
Zara said happily: “That’s true. But it seems like Caleb is good to her. He even asked me to design dresses for Mrs. Mamet specifically. Sixteen dresses all at once…”
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the man, she hung up the phone.
Since none of Caleb’s friends knew about the wedding, it meant that he wasn’t satisfied with his wife and that was why there was no wedding ceremony. Since Caleb didn’t like her, Zara was confident that she could drive that woman away..
