She had glimpsed her past works, and, as Mandy had pointed out, they leaned toward simplicity. Perhaps, with her memories erased, this was her chance to explore a fresh, avant-garde style rather than remaining tethered to old preferences.
When Natalie was secretly planning her career, Brandon waved his hand and said decisively,”Since Natalie likes it,I’ll order ten of Miss Hamilton’s dresses. Please get at least one delivered in three days’ time.
“What? How many?” Mandy exclaimed as her jaw dropped open.She was so surprised that she reiterated Brandon’s words to confirm his order, “Mr. Larson, you mean.. You’re going to order ten dresses from my shop?”
Brandon hugged Natalie as he asked casually”What’s wrong? Not enough? Then I’ll add ten more.”
“No, no, no!” Mandy replied, flustered. She waved her hands and stammered, “It’s… A lot I didn’t expect your order because of our previous misunderstanding.”
Brandon smirked and replied,”Miss Hamilton, do I look like such a narrow-minded person? He returned his gaze to Natalie and continued calmly,I’ll get anything my wife desires. Miss
Hamilton, just get your job done. Don’t let her down.”
Mandy’s head was spinning from the unexpected big order. Natalie was not only influential in Barnes as Brandon’s wife but also a rising star in the design industry with design skills that rivaled her own Mandy didn’t expect Natalie to order customized dresses from her,let alone ten sets!
Customized dresses were designed differently from ordinary dresses. The materials used were of higher quality, and the design process was more elaborate. A high-qualitycustomized dress could easily cost millions of dollars, and there was no cap.Ten sets would mean at least ten million dollars!
Although Mandy’s studiowas never lacking business,a ten million dollars order was hard to come by. She regained her composure and said firmly,”Mr. Larson,don’t worry. I will make the best designs worthy of Natalie. I won’t let you down.”
Brandon nodded casually and landed his chin on Natalie’s forehead.”Natalie, why don’t you discuss your preferences with Miss Hamilton?” he said gently.
Mandy looked at Natalie and nodded enthusiastically.”I’ll personally measure your sizes later. Natalie, please let’s bounce off our ideas, and I’ll do my best to satisfy your preferences.”
Mandy’s seriousness made Natalie a little uncomfortable. Shesmiledsheepishly and tugged quietly at Brandon’s sleeve.
Looking down at the awkward Natalie in his arms, Brandon couldn’t help smiling dotingly.”What’s wrong? Are ten dresses not sufficient?” he asked.
Natalie hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head for fear that Brandon would order another ten sets. “Actually, there are more than enough dresses in my wardrobe.You don’t need to order so many,” she whispered in his ear.
Brandon pinched her cheek and said casually,”The dresses at home are out of style.I’ll ask the butler to clear them away tonight.”
“Clear them away? Natalie echoed in surprise. She became anxious and cried,”No way.It’s a waste!Those dresses are still new,and they can still be worn.”
Brandon remained composed and said casually,”I’m making money for you to spend. Those
outdated clothes are not worthy of you.I can buy thousands of dresses for you,let alone ten dresses.If you like someone else’s designs,I can order them too.”
“No need,Natalie refused quickly She shook her head and continued,”Ten sets are enough. In fact, it’s too many.
Brandon was amused by the look of fluster on Natalie’s face. His heart was filled with love for her.How he wished he could kiss her pink lips andseeherflusteredlookrightnow. Unfortunately, there were outsiders around.
Looking at Brandon’s affectionate eyes,Natalie’s ears turned red. She lowered her head shyly and kept silent.
Mandy was stunned. She knew that Brandon was rich and that he loved his wife. However, she didn’t expect him to beso generous towards Natalie. She was also amazed by the loving look Brandon had as he whispered to Natalie.
Just then, Mandy stole a quick glance at Draco, who was standing silently at the side. Looking at Natalie, he smiled gently, but he didn’t show signs of jealousy or unhappiness as he once did. Had he…
A bold idea crossed Mandy’s mind, and her heart beat faster and faster. An indescribable joy spread through her heart.
Had Draco moved on from Natalie?
If Draco no longer had feelings for Natalie,would she stand a chance?
In truth, Mandy hadn’t expected Draco to show up at the celebration party in her boutique.
Despite asking her assistant to send an invitation to the W Marks Studio, she hadn’t expected him to come.
After all, her departure from the W Marks Studio had been marred by conflict,followed by several private disputes with Draco.The lack of contact between themoverthe past few months had given Mandyreason not to anticipate that Draco would personally attend her celebration party To her surprise,Draco himself made a personal appearance, representing W Marks.It seemed he was willing to put their differences behind him.
Could that mean that his attitude towards her had improved and he was willing to be friends with her?
The more Mandy thought about it, the faster her heart raced. She couldn’t help but steal
glances at Draco, The more she observed him, the more she was convinced that he only regarded Natalie as nothing more than a friend now. His gaze toward her lacked the intense affection that would be present if he still had feelings for her.
As Mandy contemplated various optimistic thoughts and scenariosthe conversation between Natalie and Brandon came to an end. Natalie turned around and began asking several questions about design that she had been eager to ask.
Now that Natalie had lost her memory and all threeofthemwereexperiencedsenior designers, they knew a lot more about design than she did.A few words from them were guaranteed greatly benefit understanding of the field.
Natalie’s Furthermore, Natalie was still talented in design. With their guidance, she quickly grasped the various concepts they discussed with her.
The quartet chatted happily until the party began. Natalie was so excited that she even hoped to continue chatting with them until dawn.
Filled with a renewed sense of hope for love, Mandy, too, found herself in high spirits. Without any hostility and jealousy, she addressed Natalie with a calm and friendly tone, saying, Natalie,when will you be free for me to take your measurements and choose the dress styles for you?”
Natalie nodded with a smile.How about tomorrow? Can you come over to my house?””That’ll work. I’ll come over in the afternoon,” Mandy replied.
After they finished making the arrangements, Mandy went to attend to other guests. At the party, Natalie met several renowned designers who were usually only ever encountered online. She was pleasantly surprised, and eagerly approached them to ask questions.
By the time the party was over,it was quite late As they made their way back, Natalie’s face was lit up with a joyful smile. She held Brandon’s hand and excitedly recounted the number of famous designers she had met at the party and the valuable design knowledge she had acquired.
Observing the bright smile on her face-a sight he hadn’t witnessed in a while-Brandon’s mood improved.He said gently”Seeing how
much you enjoyed it,we’ll attend more of such parties in the future.”
After saying that, he promptly instructed the driver,”Make inquiries about upcoming events in the design industry and get us invitations to all of them.
Blinking her big round eyesNatalie asked deliberately,”Will you be going with me?
Interlocking his fingerswith hers,Brandon nodded with a smile and repliedOf course.I don’t want you to attend such parties alone. What if someone tries to make a move on you?””It’s not that serious,” Natalie blushed and said with a chuckle. “You’re making it sound like I’m incredibly popular.
Remembering his former rivals for her love, Brandon clenched his teeth and leaned in to whisper in her ear,”I have to admit,I’m a little grateful that you’ve lost your memory. Otherwise, it would’ve driven me crazy to know that you still remember those men who once had inappropriate intentions towards you.”
Detecting the jealousy in Brandon’s voice,Natalie immediately felt embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.”Don’t bother with the invitations.”
This puzzled Brandon. “Why? Don’t you like these parties for designers?”
Resting her head on his broad shoulder, Natalie replied with a gentle smile,saying,”Although I enjoyed talking with those designers today and learned a lot,you and I aren’t very fond of parties. You don’t need to force yourself to attend them just for my sake.
