Connor immediately picked up on the subtle movement. His gaze deepened. Although he quickly looked away as if nothing had happened, there was a hidden meaning in his eyes.

“I didn’t come just to visit you this time.

“This is Cavrielle’s latest project proposal. Take a look.”

Connor pulled a file from his briefcase.

At the mention of work, Tess immediately straightened up and scooted closer to Connor.

“Steven’s lawsuit should wrap up in the next couple of days. Cavrielle has taken quite a hit because of me during the process, and I’m really sorry about that.”

Tess apologized, a bit embarrassed, as she flipped through the file without stopping.

Connor shook his head. “A lot of things have delayed effects. Sure, Cavrielle did get hit hard at first, but the public opinion has totally flipped recently. All the netizens and clients who felt guilty have been coming back to support Cavrielle. Things have turned around, and in fact, our recent revenue hit a ten–year high. It was even higher than when you first launched your designs with Cavrielle.”

Hearing that, Tess was flooded with nostalgia.

She had originally invested in Cavrielle just to try something new. She only brought her designs along to see what might happen. Unexpectedly, a famous designer took notice and put in a good word for her at headquarters. Fortunately, she didn’t let anyone down and quickly proved herself, becoming Cavrielle’s star designer.

She could still recall the frenzy when Cavrielle launched her very first design–the internet exploded with headlines like “Famous Actress Stuns in Selina’s Design,” and “Starlet Steals the Red Carpet in Selina’s Latest Gown.” Stories like these sent the name Selina viral overnight.

“The leadership at Cavrielle and I are hoping you’ll design a new collection for us soon. As the saying goes, we should make hay while the sun shines.”

Connor explained.

Tess nodded along as she listened.

He was right. With Cavrielle’s buzz still going, this was an opportunity she shouldn’t miss.

She closed the file. “Of course, I’d be happy to do that.”

Connor replied calmly, “Then let me thank you on behalf of Cavrielle.”

The two of them continued chatting for a while, going over the details of the upcoming collaboration.

By the time Tess saw Connor out, it was already getting dark outside.

Meanwhile, Bessie came out of the bedroom, holding Layla.

Layla had napped all afternoon and now rubbed her eyes sleepily, looking unbelievably cute.

“Tess, who were those two guys?” Bessie finally asked, unable to contain her curiosity.

She may have grown up poor, but she could still tell these two weren’t ordinary men.

Still, knowing Tess, it wasn’t so strange to see people like that around her.

“One is my ex–husband’s nephew, the other’s a business partner.”

Tess gave a simple answer, rocking Layla in her arms while brainstorming new design ideas.

Bessie’s eyes widened in shock.

Her ex–husband’s nephew? That’s barely even a family tie. And that business partner–I have seen the way he looked at Tess. He is clearly more than just a business partner. Hmm …

Bessie stroked her chin, looking deep in thought.

No wonder Tess always hesitated whenever she told her to find a new man–there were already suitors lining up for her.

Her thoughts raced until Tess nudged her arm. “What is it?”

“I think Layla is hungry.”

Tess reminded her.

Bessie jumped up and hurried to the kitchen to make a bottle.

While she was gone, Tess took Layla to the study,

She’d barely sat down when her phone rang.

“I heard you got out of the hospital. Are you alright?”

Steven’s clear, steady voice came through the line.

Tess kept drawing as she answered, “I’m fine. How’s your case with Zack?”
