His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 142

Most designers ended up focusing on high-concept, bespoke collections aimed at collectors—a niche market where reputation was everything.

Niamh saw things the same way.

Her plan was to make her name in the world of couture for collectors, and only then think about her next move.

Peter agreed with her strategy. In fact, that was why he'd brought Niamh to meet Devon today—to lay the groundwork for her.

Two people stood by the front gate.

Peter glanced at his watch. "We're half an hour early, but apparently, someone else has an appointment before us."

Just then, the villa's door swung open and Devon appeared, dressed in a tailored navy suit that gave him an air of old-world sophistication.

"Peter! You're here early," he called out.
