"Enough. Let’s talk business. What ideas do you have for my wife’s gown?”
Matthew forcefully redirected the conversation back to the main topic. Lucy perked up, knowing that they had arrived at the main focus of today.
Richard stopped fooling around and started to show his professional side. He skillfully scanned Lucy. The more he observed, the more impressed he was.
“Your wife has an excellent figure. She’s considered perfect according to beauty standards. Her skin is exceptionally fair, and with her grace, she’s truly exquisite.”
Despite being judged by Richard, Lucy was not the slightest bit upset. Perhaps it was because of Richard’s attentive and earnest demeanor.
He seemed like he was genuinely committed to designing the perfect gown for her.
After meticulously taking Lucy's measurements, Richard lowered his head in contemplation for a moment. Then, he looked up with an air of confidence.
“Matthew, I think I have an idea for a design that would suit your wife. Like I mentioned earlier, lilies are a perfect match for your wife.”
Matthew raised his eyebrows. “Alright. I trust your vision.”
Lucy simply listened as Richard spoke about the details and elements he would use to design the gown for her.
She fell silent for a moment, feeling a mix of sadness and bitterness. Was anyone going to ask for her opinion? She was the one wearing the gown, after all.
Matthew sensed the changes in Lucy’s mood, so he caressed her head and comforted her, “Don’t overthink it. It’s not that we don’t value your opinion, but Richard is the best fashion designer in the world.
