“Sit back and enjoy the ride. You’ll be working hard soon enough. I know how hard Etienne works. Garou asks a lot of their employees.”
Julien snuck up behind him. “Are you ready to be measured?” Richard glanced at Julio.
“I’ll stay out here and go through the fabrics with Julio, Julien. You go in the back with Richard while Mr. Abbott measures him,” Armand pronounced.
“Richard,” Julio took him aside, “get extra room in the crotch.”
“Why?” Richard gaped at Julio.
“Just trust me. You’ll need it.”
“Okay…” Richard followed Julien to the back of the shop to be measured.

When Mr. Abbott finished his measurements, Richard and Julien returned to the front. Armand and Julio were arguing over a fabric sample. Sean rolled his eyes, Etienne sighed, and Julien hid his laugh behind a practiced cough.
“Come over here, Richard.” He obediently went over to Armand who held up two swatches of fabric.
