“Right this way, please,” Evelyn said, leading her. “Muddlehead has caught a chill today and isn’t seeing clients. Ms. Williams will take your measurements, and Muddlehead will send the designs based on your requirements later.”

“That’s perfectly fine,” Celeste said with a smile, following her inside.

For the past two years, Damian’s focus had been on Cross Boutique. She’d heard he’d even hired the renowned international designer Muddlehead as a consultant.

Wanting to keep pace with Damian and have more to talk about, she’d asked him to arrange a custom gown with Muddlehead for the upcoming company IPO events.

“Hello, Ms. Williams. I’m Celeste, a friend of Mr. Cross.” Of course, Celeste recognized Diana. She’d made it her business to know nearly every woman around Damian.

“Hello, Ms. Snow,” Diana replied, her expression professional and unreadable.

“Thank you for your time today,” Celeste said cheerfully.

Diana smiled, “My pleasure. I’m just curious. How did you convince Mr. Cross to arrange this commission for you?”

She pulled up a tablet, creating a new file under Celeste’s name to note her requests and

measurements.

Celeste gave a modest smile. “We’re preparing for the company’s IPO in May. I’m usually just at the office and don’t have many formal outfits. The IPO is a huge deal–there will be endless dinners and events. Mr. Cross knows Muddlehead, and he didn’t want me to be underdressed for such important occasions.”

Diana gave a slight nod, her face still neutral. “I see. Mr. Cross must think highly of you.”

She watched Celeste’s expression closely.

Two words of praise, and she’s practically floating.

After some small talk, Diana began taking measurements.

Behind the lattice screen, Isabelle took a small sip of coffee. The sound caught Celeste’s

attention.

“Who’s in there?” Celeste asked curiously, peering toward the screen.

Through the lattice and sheer curtain, she could make out a seated figure, posture elegant, quietly enjoying a cup of coffee.

“That’s Muddlehead,” Diana said, a slight smile on her lips.

“Hello, Muddlehead,” Celeste said, nodding toward the screen.

Isabelle gave a slight nod in return.

“I’ve heard no one ever gets to see Muddlehead. Just catching a glimpse of your silhouette is impressive. Would you consider coming out to say hello?” Celeste asked, laying on the flattery.

Behind the screen, Isabelle smiled.

I wonder what her expression will be the day she realizes the Muddlehead she’s praising is her biggest rival.

“Muddlehead doesn’t meet with just anyone,” Diana said evenly. “Especially not people of questionable character. They usually don’t even make it through the door.”

Celeste’s smile turned awkward. “Well, I’m only here because of Mr. Cross. Otherwise, I’d never have the honor of wearing a Muddlehead piece.”

Diana pursed her lips. “The designers at Mr. Cross‘ company are quite talented, too. Especially Ms. Foster. I heard she was singled out by a famous designer on a major platform.”

Atthe mention of Isabelle’s name, Celeste let out a soft, dismissive snort. “Her? She’s not in the same league as Muddlehead.”

“Oh?” Diana raised an eyebrow, amused.

“If she were truly outstanding, Mr. Cross wouldn’t have needed to come to Muddlehead,” Celeste said, turning so Diana could measure her back.

Diana smiled, “I heard Mr. Cross got married. I wonder who finally caught his eye.”

Celeste stated, “Don’t even get me started. It’s such a shame for Mr. Cross. Look at his status, and then look at hers. She’s a nobody. They had to hide the marriage–too embarrassed to be seen. The Cross family couldn’t even be bothered to throw a wedding.”

Diana said nothing, just glanced toward the woman behind the curtain.

Isabelle took another calm sip of coffee and kept listening.
