I guess she might just be a bit shy? Time will heal it, a little more mingling and she should open up.”
“There’s something off, I can feel it.”
Ramona sighed with a hint of regret in her voice, “Remember how feisty she was as a kid? No matter how much she’s changed, she can’t be this timid…”
Just as I was about to respond, Ramona sighed again, “Let’s not dwell on this. After all, it’s a joyous occasion. You’re still in Vista Town, night?”
“Yes, 1 am.” I confirmed.
“That’s wonderful! I’ll send the driver to pick you up.” Her voice brightened. “We’re throwing a welcome party for Lilliana tonight, and you must come. You know, Adah and I wore the dresses you designed for us over the holidays, and so many people asked about them. This is a great chance for you to network, you won’t worry about business for a whole year!”
“Thank you, that’s very kind of you!”
I hesitated but agreed for the sake of business. Dealing with high society was inevitable in the bespoke fashion industry. It was this of shut down shop. Such an opportunity was too good to pass up.
Ramona chuckled, “I heard from Greg that a friend of yours is also in Vista Town. Ask her if she’d like to come along, it’d be lovely to have you both.”

“Thank you.”
We got dressed and did our makeup, and soon the hotel’s front desk called. The Myers family’s driver was waiting downstairs for us.
The atmosphere at the Myers‘ was more relaxed than usual. We were among the first to arrive, with mostly just family members around. Ramona had the butler meet us at the door and led us to her courtyard. The banquet hall was lively and festive, leaving no doubt about who the guest of honor was.
“Jane!” Seeing us enter, Ramona beamed and beckoned me over. Adah was there too.
“Ramona, Adah.”
I smiled, my eyes quickly finding the woman sitting next to Ramona. I remembered her from a photo in the news a few days ago. She had done herself up, wearing a scarlet cocktail dress with her hair naturally draped down, her hands nervously clutching at her skirt.
Her features were delicate and pretty but her lipstick was almost gone from constant licking, revealing pale, almost colorless lips. When our eyes met, she quickly looked away, as if I were some formidable creature.
old pals. Ramona pulled me aside,
I led Christine over, made introductions, and she instantly clicked with Adah, chatting away nodding towards Lilliana, “Lilliana, this is Jane, you share the same birthday, can you believe it? Later, let’s get your measurements for Jane to make you a few dresses.“,
I smiled politely. “Ms. Myers, it’s a pleasure.”
“…Hi…”
Lilliana’s eyes flitted nervously, as if I posed a threat. Suddenly, she stood up and darted towards the entrance, softly calling, “Greg!” My gaze instinctively followed, catching sight of Gregory striding in wearing a bomber jacket and khaki pants, a casual yet striking figure. Our eyes met, and I quickly looked away, my heart fluttering uncontrollably. After all, his fiancée was right here.
