Nebulae was a renowned international brand. A few years ago, it had made waves on top fashion magazines with its modern reinterpretation of traditional aesthetics. It won the hearts of many in the industry, quickly becoming a rising star in the world of luxury.
Internationally, it was known as Nebulae. However, its first store in Javerton city would be named as Nebula Design.
Serena stared at the black card in her hand, stunned.
The news that Nebula Design was opening a store in Javerton City hadn't been made public yet. Yet Hugh had already handed her the card.
Hugh answered, "We've been shifting focus back to the domestic market. A few of Nebula Design's lead designers have returned to launch new collections. You're free to pick anything you like from local or overseas."
Serena fell silent.
She had just given him a thank-you gift, and now Hugh had returned with something far more extravagant.
How was she supposed to respond to that?
After Hugh entered the car, Chandler started briefing him on the evening's meeting with an Amstian client. Serena paused for a second before reaching out and gently blocking the car door.
In the driver seat, Chandler's eyes widened in alarm. Hugh's schedule was measured down to the minute. If she delayed him from meeting this client…
Hugh looked up, puzzled.
Serena took out a brand new tie box from her purse and glanced at Hugh's bare collar.
"I was worried you might think cufflinks were too much, so I prepared a backup. The Amstians care a lot about presentation. I didn't want you looking underdressed. Try this one on."
She meant to hand it over and leave.
But Hugh's gaze flickered as he said calmly, "It's hard to put it on properly in the car."
Serena paused. Was he asking her to help him put it on? Wasn't that a bit too much?
Hugh noticed her hesitation, his brow twitching ever so slightly.
He added, "I don't usually pay attention to these details. My styling team isn't around, and Chandler is all thumbs."
Chandler said nothing, quietly rolling his eyes.
