I tried to comfort her. âMaybe sheâs a bit introverted? Since thereâs still plenty of time, spending more time together should help.â
âI still feel something is off.â Madam Shaw seemed a bit regretful. âShe used to be quite a little tyrant when she was young. No matter how much she has changed, she shouldnât be this timidâ¦â
As I was about to respond, Madam Shaw sighed. âWell, letâs not dwell on that. Itâs still a joyous occasion. Youâre still in Jeswood, right?â
I answered honestly, âYes, I am.â
âThatâs great! Iâll arrange for a driver to pick you up.â Madam Shaw said with a smile, âWeâre planning a welcome banquet for Lily tonight. You must come and join us. The clothes that youâve designed for Madam Smith and me have been quite the talk among us. Many people have been asking where they were ordered from. This is a perfect opportunity for you to introduce yourself. Iâm sure you wonât have to worry about business for the entire year!â
âAlright, thank you!â
Thesitated a bit but agreed for the sake of business.
Since I was in the custom design business, it was inevitable to interact with high society and aristocratic women. Even if not now, it would happen sooner or later.
Avoiding it was not a viable option.
With such a good opportunity, I naturally couldnât refuse.
Madam Shaw smiled. âI heard from Frank that you have a friend whoâs also in Jeswood. Ask her if sheâd like to join us. If she does, you can come together.â
After hanging up, before I could ask Jane if she was willing, she interrupted with a determined look. âBring me along. I can handle business negotiations if needed and can also help you deal with people.â
âThank you.â
After changing into our outfits and putting on makeup, the hotel front desk called to inform us that the Shaw familyâs driver was waiting downstairs.
The atmosphere at the Shaw familyâs residence was more relaxed than usual.
At the time, there were no other guests yet, mostly just relatives of the Shaw family.
Madam Shaw had the butler personally wait for us at the entrance and lead us to her courtyard.
The banquet hall was decorated in a festive and lively manner, clearly indicating who the main guest of honor was.
âCharlotte!â
Seeing us arrive, Madam Shaw greeted us warmly, waving for me to come over.
Inside the hall, Madam Smith was also present.

âMadam Shaw, Madam Smith.â
I smiled and immediately noticed the woman sitting next to Madam Smith.
I remembered her from the photo in the news a few days ago.
She seemed to have been redone; she was wearing a red dress, her hair flowing naturally, and her hands tightly clutching her skirt.
Her features were delicate and pretty, but her lipstick was almost gone from frequent licking, revealing pale lips without much color.
When she met my gaze, she seemed somewhat evasive, quickly looking away.
I walked over with Jane, introduced her, and Jane immediately hit it off with Madam Smith, finding a common ground in their conversation.
Madam Shaw pulled me over to sit beside her and said to Lily with a smile, âLily, this is Charlotte. She shares your birthday. Isnât that a coincidence? Later, weâll take your measurements so that Charlotte can make a few dresses for you.â
I gave a slight smile. âHello, Miss Shaw.â
âHelloâ¦â¦â
Lilyâs eyes darted around nervously, as if I were some sort of threat.
The next moment, she suddenly stood up and ran towards the door, calling softly, âFrank!â
I instinctively glanced over and saw Frank walking in, dressed in a flight jacket and brown casual pants, striding in with long legs.
As our eyes met, I quickly looked down in a panic.
His fiancee was right here.
