The Chain Delivery

The next few weeks passed by in a blur as Jian spent the mornings in school and the afternoons either out going to casting calls and doing small shoots or staying at home working on the other dresses.

"Going home with John again?" Nicki asked in a teasing tone and Jian nodded saying, "Yup, we are so close to finishing the last few dresses, and today the chains should be delivered so I will be sewing the last few details." Nicki smiled saying, "Good luck and don't forget finials are next week, so study a bit when you have time."

Jian nodded as she noticed John's bike and quickly heading towards him while Nicki waited for Nick to finish talking to his other friends.

The two arrived home after a quick ride and Jain sighed as she got off. "How was work," she asked taking the helmet off looking at John's expression. "Really bad huh?" Jian asked and John nodded pouting. She smiled opening her arms for hug as he replied instantly pulling her towards him.

"I don't wanna work anymore, all he does is pick at my presentations, the spelling errors, and calculations it cannot be off by even a single number, or he gets upset," John said while Jian gently petted his back as John continued, "He's also giving me more work to do like I don't have a social life. He wants me to start following him around for all of his meeting starting Monday so I can't even get off work early now."

Jian listened as he sighed and she smiled asking, "You have more to say, don't you?" He pulled back nodding and she giggled saying, "Alright, let's go up first and I'll get us something ready before we start work, and you can complain about your day again." He nodded placing the helmets away.

The two were walking by the mail room when Jian remembered, saying, "John come this way, let's check if the chains have arrived." He nodded walking behind her as they searched through the boxes before John found the one with Jian's name on it.

The two carrier the box inside and Jian sighed saying, "Mom, we're home." Jesscia smiled glancing at the two from the sofa. "Working again?" She asked softly as she looked at the box in John's hand and Jian nodded saying, "Yup, we can add the last few details tonight, and tomorrow I scheduled another fitting with the models so they should be coming here around noon."

Jessica smiled as she got back to her stack of paperwork while Jian and John went towards her room. Jian sighed placing her bag away while she grabbed a hair tie from the dresser as John placed the box on the table before sitting down on the bed.

He laid back while Jian grabbed a pair of shorts and tank top heading out towards the restroom. "Johnny," Jessica called out as he flinched sitting up instantly.

She smirked slight asking him in a gentle tone, "Is there anything specific you want for dinner?" He smiled saying, "Whatever Jian wants is okay Miss Kim." Jessica smiled saying, "Are you sure, you seemed to enjoy the cabbage soup from last week, I could make that again."

He nodded as Jian walked towards them saying, "Sure mom, that sounds nice, how about John and I got pick up some fresh bread later." Jessica smiled saying, "It's alright, I have to pick up some documents from the office, so I'll pick up some bread later."

Jian smiled as she placed the dirty clothes away before turning towards John. He was quiet and she walked over gently pulling him for a hug. John smiled warping his arms around her as she gently stroked his back.

"Better," Jian asked pulling back and he nodded saying, "Thanks." She smiled glancing at the box saying, "Can you organize them, I'll finish sewing on the applique to the corset." He nodded getting up as she also walked over to the desk. She grabbed the corset and applique before walking towards the bed to hand sewing on the dark green appliques.

John sat down in front of the desk organizing each chain to match the corresponding dress. The two worked together as Johnny complained about work till Jessica walked over saying, "Jian, I am leaving now, I should be back by 7:30, watch over the soup and turn the stove off around 6."

Jian nodded as she cut a thread turning to John asking, "Do you want to sit in the living room?" He nodded walking over to her helping her carry the remainder of supplies out.
