During her first few days moving into Clearwater Villa, Shera completely ignored Caden's one-man show. Outside of her normal day job, she poured all her energy into something of utmost importance to her—Evegrace.
Evegrace was the sheath dress brand her father had founded, named after her mother. It had enjoyed immense prestige in the industry during its early years, but after her father fell ill, it was put on hold for several years. Experienced master craftsmen drifted away, long-standing fabric suppliers lost touch, and even the brand's official website had ceased updating.
Now, she wanted to fulfill her parents' dying wish and rebuild it from the ground up.
Although many loyal customers still left comments across various platforms, asking around for updates, it was merely a drop in the bucket for Evegrace.
Beyond tracking down scattered veteran artisans, the most pressing issue was securing a high-end fabric supply chain as quickly as possible. Over the past few days, Shera had pulled every string she had, contacting several fabric suppliers. The materials were either too cheap in texture, or the suppliers rejected her because the order volume was too small.
After much effort, she finally located an established supplier of premium Chantilly lace and damask silk.
At 6:00 PM, Shera drove to the Aurelia Grand Restaurant. The dinner meeting was set in a private room on the top floor.
The Aurelia Grand Restaurant featured a classic aesthetic—red doors, carved railings, and an air of quiet elegance, making it the premier choice for business negotiations in the city.
The receptionist bowed politely, verified her reservation, and escorted Shera to the private room via the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors slid shut, a dark figure flanked by an entourage slipped in through the side entrance.
"Mr. Hayes, right this way."
——
When setting up the collaboration, the other party's assistant had mentioned their boss was very familiar with Evegrace and had crossed paths with her father a few times. Upon hearing the contact person was Shera, the executive immediately agreed to a meeting. She was genuinely curious to see who it was.
After nodding her thanks to the staff at the door, Shera gently pushed it open.
As the door swung wide, a woman in a sharp business suit immediately walked over to greet her.
