Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 349

"I guess she might just be a bit shy? Time will heal it, a little more mingling and she should open up."

“There’s something off, I can feel it."

Ramona sighed with a hint of regret in her voice, "Remember how feisty she was as a kid? No matter how much she's changed, she can't be this timid…”

Just as I was about to respond, Ramona sighed again, "Let’s not dwell on this. After all, it's a joyous occasion. You're still in Vista Town, right?"

"Yes, I am," I confirmed.

"That’s wonderful! I'll send the driver to pick you up." Her voice brightened. "We’re throwing a welcome party for Lilliana tonight, and you must come. You know, Adah and I wore the dresses you designed for us over the holidays, and so many people asked about them. This is a great chance for you to network; you won’t worry about business for a whole year!"

“Thank you, that’s very kind of you!”

I hesitated but agreed for the sake of business. Dealing with high society was inevitable in the bespoke fashion industry. It was this or shut down shop. Such an opportunity was too good to pass up.

Ramona chuckled, "I heard from Greg that a friend of yours is also in Vista Town. Ask her if she’d like to come along, it’d be lovely to have you both."

After hanging up, before I could even ask Christine, she volunteered with a sense of duty.

“Count me in. I can talk business when needed, and throw shade if necessary.”

“Thank you.”
