Time flew quickly, and Loredana domestic branch of custom designing store LEO’s officially opened.
Early in the morning, a flower delivering car came over and one after another dozens of flower baskets were placed in the doorway.
Theresa was dumbfounded. Who sent them so many flowers?
She ran to the man who delivered them and asked, “Who sent these?”
“We are only the delivery people. We don’t know who sent these. You can look if there is a name in the greeting card.”
Theresa had already looked for it but hadn’t found a name which is why she had come over to ask them. “Forget it.”
Wearing a purple gown, she walked away to go into the store. Later, people were going to come over for Mrs. William, so she had to check the arrangements. However, she had only taken two steps before another car stopped at the door and a man got more flowers out.
They were quite a lot this time too. All of them were large baskets with colorful and beautifully arranged flowers, looking delicate and bright.
Soon enough, the space around the door was not enough and the baskets were places by the road.
Theresa walked over and saw the name that was written on one of the baskets this time. It was Boyce
Shawn.
Boyce wasn’t as cunning as Armand. When the florist asked the name of the sender, he had just said it straightforwardly.
This store was connected to Loredana and they were Cormac’s best friends, so naturally they had to make the opening a little grand, so that people would know that the owner had a strong backing.
Theresa probably understood who sent these. She glanced at the flower baskets lined up on the road and sighed, “Looks spectacular.”
The event still hadn’t even started and the place already looked lively.
Mrs. William wore a very magnificent royal blue dress and had her hair curled. This time she was wearing a diamond jewelry set that was studded with emeralds, which was elegant and majestic.
Allison followed behind her, holding a bag in her hand. Loredana was busy checking the layout in the hall to see if there was any thing to fix. In the huge reception hall, the right side was reserved for refreshment and drinks and the opening ceremony was to be held on the left side where the clothing display was arranged. In the middle, a T shaped stage was prepared where a catwalk was to be held to exhibit the work of LEO.
Although Loredana didn’t have any connections in China, she still had a certain reputation in the industry.
Coupled with Mrs. William’s connections and LEO’s reputation, many people were going to come today.
“Loredana.” Allison called her.
Checking and fixing the clothes properly on a model’s body, Loredana turned her head to look at Allison and asked, “What is it?”
She handed her the bag, “Here you go.”
Loredana didn’t respond immediately and asked after a moment, “What is this?”
“You will know after seeing it.” Mrs. William said with an elegant smile.
Loredana took the bag, placed it on the table and opened it. Inside was a dress, and it was very familiar because she had designed it herself.
It was her award-winning project, “First”.
But Maria and Cormac had bought it when they were about to get engaged. How was it here?
She looked at Mrs. William in confusion.
“Someone asked me to give it to you.” She didn’t say who asked her to give it to Loredana.
Loredana wanted to ask her again but Allison knew that Mrs. William didn’t want to talk, so she interrupted deliberately, “Hurry up and put it on! It’s almost time. You won’t be able to go change once people start to come in.”
Loredana hesitated. Allison pushed her into the changing room, “Hurry up! Don’t waste time.”
Loredana didn’t want to wear it but Allison rushed to help her take off her clothes, “Only by wearing your own work you can really show the value.”
Loredana couldn’t stand Allison man-handling her, “I will change by myself. You leave!”
Allison was worried and explained, “Hurry up! Soon people will be here.”
“Okay.” Loredana responded.
The door closed behind Allison and Loredana stood there looking a little lost while holding the dress. It was just a dress but it carried her dream. Since she was a teenager, she had a dream to become the best costume designer.
Later, she thought she was never going to get a chance but perhaps god was not too cruel to her and helped her be who she was today.
There was a loud knock on the door.
“Loredana, you okay in there?” Allison hadn’t left the door. Hearing nothing inside, she knocked the door, urging her to hurry.
Loredana answered half-heartedly, “Yeah, just a minute.”
“Hurry up! Some people are already here, you are the main character today.” She was going to be in charge of the store in the future.
She was the protagonist today.
Naturally, she was going to have to make contacts among the people who came here today.
Loredana glanced at the time, without giving herself any more time to think, she took off her clothes and put on the dress.
She had no makeup but her skin was fair and delicate. She casually put her hair up into a bun, leaving out a strand of hair that fell onto her ear and added a feminine touch to the updo.
The pink color looked pure and gentle, like a newborn baby which was unfamiliar with the world, tender and cute. This was the reason she had chosen this pink color to make the “First” dress.
It represented youth.
She had never thought that she was going to be wearing this dress someday.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she felt dazed.
Allison knocked the door loudly, “Loredana, come out quickly. People are here.”
“Okay.” Loredana opened the door and faced Allison. When she saw Loredana, she couldn’t stop herself from saying, “Loredana, you look so beautiful today.”
Loredana glanced at her, “So, I was ugly before today?”
“No, no.” Allison couldn’t take her eyes off Loredana, her light blue eyes looked stunned.
Allison was from Country A originally, but she had learned Chinese when she was in school, which is why Mrs. William had brought her over to help her.
She could help her facilitate communication here.
Now, there were a total of three designers in the store and even though Allison was good at it, they were still a little tight on staff in the store. There had already hired a receptionist, and a person to receive the customers, and they were going to hire more people afterwards.
Loredana got back down to business, “Let’s go!”
“Okay.” Allison followed Loredana, “I saw the people who came just now. They are really handsome guys.”
“Huh?”
Allison pouted, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know them.”
Loredana really didn’t know. It was only after she saw them in the exhibition area that she found out who they were.
They were Armand and Boyce.
“Who designed this?” Armand stood in front of a long skirt with the name written clearly below it, but he pretended he couldn’t see it and asked Theresa.
“I did.” If she didn’t know that she was talking to a rich and powerful person, she would have cursed him for being perverted long ago. He was a man snooping around in women’s clothes and furthermore, he kept asking nonsense questions.
“Oooh!” Armand uttered, deliberately pulling the sound long making it feel uncomfortable. Theresa kept her temper calm and said, “Do you have any more questions? I you don’t mind, I am busy.”
“Yes, I do!” He picked the thin shoulder straps of the skirt, “What is the source of inspiration for this design? Why are the shoulder straps so thin? Is it because it would be easy to take it off or to expose the skin more?”
Theresa’s face turned red in an instant, and she glared at him.
Then she said coldly, “Are you here to stir up trouble and ruin the opening?”
“No, no! I’m just curious.” Armand grinned, “Stir up trouble? Do I not want to live?”
This was Loredana place.
And who was Loredana?
She was Cormac’s sweetheart at the moment. Armand didn’t have the guts.
“If you like it, you can buy it. About my source of inspiration, how about I tell you some other time?”
“I don’t have a girlfriend, why would I buy it?” Armand pouted.
Theresa smiled and two dimples appeared on the corners of her mouth making her look really cute, “If you want, you can wear it yourself.”
Armand was lost for words.
But Boyce next to him burst out laughing.
