At a passing glance, Cynthia's designs could seem muted or old-fashioned.
But once worn, the impeccable tailoring and undeniable sophistication elevated the wearer's entire aura.
Melanie's Ink-Wash Calligraphy Gown was clearly not off the rack.
Lilian had never seen it displayed in Cynthia's boutique.
She realized that Melanie and Cynthia must have hit it off spectacularly.
That had to be why Cynthia had pulled out all the stops to custom-make such a masterpiece.
Preston's Charcoal Mandarin Tunic was also Cynthia's handiwork.
However, his was a ready-to-wear piece.
Lilian guessed time had been too tight, leaving Cynthia with only enough bandwidth to customize Melanie's dress.
"Silas, those two are exactly who I've been meaning to introduce you to... The CEO of the Royce Group, Melanie."
Lilian introduced Melanie first.
"Such a young girl running the entire company?" Silas exclaimed. "And the Royce Group... that's a legacy establishment over in Averin. Their bio-botanicals are second to none."
"Exactly! Melanie is incredibly talented... It's just a shame about her boyfriend... well, ex-boyfriend now..."
Seeing Lilian's distressed expression, Silas instantly caught her drift.
"Ah, understood. The private affliction."
"Exactly! Why else would they break up?"
Lilian sighed, clutching her chest in dismay.
"So, I'm going to bring him over. I want you to check his vitals, prescribe him some advanced bio-compounds... If you can actually cure him, Evie will owe you her life."
"Evie?"
Silas was thoroughly confused.
"You mean... Yvonne?"
"Who else?"
Following Lilian's words, Silas's gaze naturally gravitated back to Preston in the distance.
"Don't tell me... he's Yvonne's grandson?"
