When Scarlett returned home, there was good news waiting for her.
Joanna, one of the craftswomen dismissed from the first factory, elegantly dressed, arrived at the store to share the news.
Scarlett saw Joanna enjoying the tea served by Andrei, so she smiled and said, “Joanna!
How do you wear such exquisite clothes?”
“I have something I want you to see.”
Joanna took out two watches and documents from her bag.
Before she started speaking, she looked at Andrey and said: “By the way, the tea is very delicious, thanks, Andrey.”
“Happy about that”
Andrey smiled.
Although he pressures Scarlett into action, he was impeccable in hospitality.
Scarlett sat across from Joanna, who opened the documents and said, “These are the results of our evaluation, and these are… documents that we have obtained approval from some members of the Crimson Family.”
“Did the people from the Crimson family agree?”
“The results are very clear.”
Scarlett examined the documents.
The parts Scarlett made were completely different from those made by Evil.
Scarlett watches were lighter, less prone to errors, and more durable by a significant margin in shock and durability tests.
She handed Joanna the documents and said, “With these, we can settle the matter in court.”
“Thanks, Jonah.
Really thanks.”
“It is my duty”
“And I’m sorry for the request, but... when the matter is settled and the summons begins, I hope to help you more.”
Joanna looked at her with pride and pity: “You did not cause the problem, but you are exhausting yourf to solve it.”
"Really?
I'm just happy.
It's an opportunity for me and Isak."
Joanna smiled unwillingly at Scarlett's optimism, but she saw the exhaustion and pressure in her eyes.
“Take good care of the principal,” she said to Andrei.
“I always do my job, let the boss take care of herf.”
Both girls laughed at Andrei's predictable response.
A week after the comparative documents arrived, Isaac arrived at Seventh Street.
Scarlett was initially worried about him returning to the Crimson Palace, but was reassured after he began to live without problems.
Evil Crimson was on trial for trying to stab Isaac with a paper knife.
From then on, Isaac lived with his Aunt Anne, and Arnold and Marilyn, in mutual sustenance.
When Scarlett asked him about the details of cohabitation, he evaded the answer.
When she walked out of the watch store, she saw Isaac waiting for her: “Scarlett.”
“Issac, how are your eyes?”
She tried to take off his sunglasses, but he backed off: “I don’t want to show them yet.”
“Why?
Nothing bothers me anymore.”
“Everyone is surprised to see her.”
“Because they are seeing it for the first time.”
Isaac took off his glasses.
More than half of the silver worms disappeared from his eyes, revealing wine-colored eyes.
People stopped screaming when they saw his clear eyes.
“Oh my God, you've improved so much... your eyes are even visible now!”
Issac smiled: “Lucky, right?
I see clearly now except for the covered part.”
Scarlett hugged him happily, then held back her tears, and handed him the document bag.
He handed her a small box and said, “Let’s go.”
“Okay”
Isaac took the bag.
They had tasks for the day: Isaac to the court to revoke Evil's guardianship, and Scarlett to the mansion of Mrs.
Paradis, the jeweler, at the end of Seventh Street.
Paradis Palace was luxurious and massive, with intimidating guards.
Scarlett went through several doors until she reached Mrs.
Paradis' room.
Mrs.
Paradis was always frightening, facing the merchants with a cold face, and Scarlett was not used to her.
But thanks to this fear, she was able to obtain the jewelry without the Crimson family's interference.
It was not the best jewelry, but quantitatively adequate.
“Count Crimson wants to trade jewelry for perfume bottles,” Scarlett said.
“Okay”
Paradis added: “Jewelry that matches perfume?”
“Yes”
“How much perfume can be produced?”
“I brought some”
Scarlett took out three bottles of perfume.
One of them was the color of wine, like her eyes, and the rest was transparent.
Paradis took the bottles with an expressionless face, dropped two drops on her handkerchief, waited for the alcohol to evaporate, and then smelled it.
She examined the other two perfumes, then put down the handkerchief and looked at her closet filled with boxes, mostly crystal, and important jewelry in an inner room.
She took out a box, revealing red crystals that sparkled in different shades.
She chose a dark purple one.
Scarlett's eyes widened, the crystal matched the color of the perfume perfectly.
Paradis looked at her calmly and said: “Did you say that Count Crimson made this perfume?”
“Yes, right”
“I heard that Count Crimson is blind.”
Scarlett stopped nodding.
Victor taught her elegance: walking straight, lifting her skirt up stairs, and dancing at parties.
She spent the beginning of her marriage learning these things, from styling her hair for hours to standing tall without complaint.
She was getting ready before Paradis' visit, wearing an old-fashioned dress but with carefully combed hair and a Doomfelt way of walking and talking.
I learned from running a watch store that people judge visually.
“So, his sense of smell is strong,” Paradis said.
Scarlett smiled, thinking it was a compliment, but Paradis added: “But the problem is whether Count Crimson can make other perfumes.”
“What?”
“We have a long history with the Crimson family, but Count Crimson has remained aloof for a long time.
You were the one taking care of him, right?”
“Yes, is that a problem?”
“Big problem.
This perfume was made for you, because you were the one who took care of it.
It is the most satisfying perfume for him.
This one is excellent, but the other two seem careless, even hostile.
They are not up to the standard of dealing with our store.”
“This way, a perfume shop will not work.
But since I liked this perfume, I will give you this.”
Paradis placed the crystal in a small silk bag and handed it to Scarlett.
Scarlett hesitated, so Paradis said: “The next customer is waiting, get out.”
“Ah, okay”
Scarlett grabbed the bag with her hands and turned to leave, but she overcame her fear and looked at Paradis: “I…”
“I said get out”
Scarlett was surprised by her sharp tone, and quickly left.
