Chapter 590 In The Dressing Room
The gang entered the mall and went straight to the tailor shop.
When the shop owner saw Rudy from a distance, he immediately rushed to the door to open it.
“Welcome, dear sir.”
“Is it done?” Rudy asked while glancing around the shop to find Elena’s wedding dress.
“Yes, yes. It is done. Our workers worked overnight and tried their best to complete it for you in one day,” the owner nodded and rubbed his hands while saying that.
“Is that so?” Rudy raised his brow and said, “Call your workers here.”
“Uhm… sure, sure.”
The owner went to call the workers. A minute later, seven workers stood in front of Rudy, out of which four were females, and there were males.
Rudy turned to a female worker and asked, “You are the one who designed the dress, right?”
The female worker nodded in response.
“Well, I haven’t seen the dress yet, but I know it’s going to be good.”
“Thank you.”
Rudy glanced at all the workers and asked, “Do you know how much I paid for that wedding dress? Fifty thousand dollars.”
“….!”
“How much do each of you get paid for working overnight to make the dress?” He asked curiously.
“Five hundred,” they responded.
“Five hundred?” Rudy turned to the owner and asked, “Seriously?”
The owner gulped down and said, “I am the owner of this shop, and without this shop, they wouldn’t have this job. I have many more things to consider when paying them. And frankly speaking, they made five hundred by working one night— which is well above what the average wage.”
“That’s true… actually.” Rudy nodded. “You are not wrong. But they worked overnight without meeting their family. I know it’s a very common thing when you do a job, but still.”
“Am I… in trouble?” the owner asked hesitantly.
“No, no. Of course not. You paid thirty-five hundred out of fifty thousand. And as you said, it’s well above the average wage. Only 10% of the people in this world make $500 a day.
But today is a special day, and I would like to tip your workers, which wouldn’t be counted as their wages but as their bonus. And I am giving it to them, not the owner. Consider it my thanks.”
Rudy handed ten thousand dollars to each worker and said, “I hope that the dress doesn’t disappoint me. Can I ask where the dress is?”
One of the workers pointed their finger at the room and said, “It’s in the dressing room. The bride should wear it and check if everything is alright. So we can make some arrangements or fixes afterward.”
“Of course.” Rudy turned to Elena and said, “Go ahead.”
Elena went to the dressing room to wear the dress, but a female worker followed her so she could help Elena.
“Daddy~ Where are our clothes?” Lilim asked.
‘Daddy?!’ All the workers and owners thought the same thing. ‘He has a kid at this age?! He is rich, so it makes sense.’
“Where are their clothes?” Rudy asked the owner.
“They are in the other room. They had three pairs of clothes and…” The owner glanced around and asked, “There were three girls yesterday.”
“She is not here today.”
“Right, right.” The owner asked the female workers to take Lilim and Jessica to try out their clothes.
Rudy shrugged his hand and asked, “And where the hell is my suit?”
“It’s ready, but…”
“But?” Rudy raised his brow.
“We had a little time to prepare everything, and all the workers were working on the bride’s dress. So they forgot to iron your suit,” the owner informed nervously.
“That’s it?”
“Yes…”
“I don’t care about ironing. Bring it here.”
“It’s also in the dressing room.”
“Well…” Rudy licked his lips and said, “I better go check it.”
Rudy entered the dressing room and locked it from the inside.
“Who is it?” Elena jolted in surprise and hid behind the curtain.
“It’s your husband.”
Elena peeked through the curtain and sighed in relief after seeing Rudy.
“What’s wrong?”
Elena shook her head and said, “I am just… conscious about changing my clothes in places like this.”
“Understandable. Are you done wearing it? I want to see.”
“No, not yet. And…” Elena pointed her gaze to the side and moved her lips to say something.
Rudy was aware that the female worker was helping Elena wear the dress, but Elena didn’t want Rudy in the room as the worker was scared of him.
“Excuse me.” Rudy called out to the worker and said, “If you don’t mind, can you leave the room? I will help the bride.”
The worker walked out of the curtain and rushed to the door without looking at Rudy. She opened the door, but it was locked, so Rudy unlocked it using his powers and locked it again after the worker left.
Elena walked out of the curtain and asked, “What was that?”
“What do you mean?”
“You do realize that it’s improper to walk into a lady changing her clothes, right?”
“You are my lady, so I don’t see what’s the problem,” Rudy replied with a grin. “And I wasn’t here for you, by the way. I am here to check out my suit.”
“But you scared the worker away. Who is going to help me wear my dress now?”
“I can help.”
Elena squinted her eyes and remarked, “You only know how to undress the girls.”
“Ouch. Why does it feel more like a complaint than a compliment?”
“Shut up.” Elena grinned and kissed Rudy on the lips.
After a few kisses, Elena hugged Rudy and said, “I can’t believe I will be getting married tomorrow.”
“Elena…” Rudy placed his hands on Elena’s shoulder and moved her back a little so they could see at each other’s faces.
“What’s… wrong?”
“There is something wrong with me. My powers have been acting weird and… and I think I… I might be returning to 2008 soon. I don’t know when, but it can be at any moment.”
“But… we are… we are getting married tomorrow!”
“I know. But it’s not under my control.”
Elena bit her lips in frustration, but after a while, she let out a big sigh and said, “Well, then, let’s get married right here, right now.”
