“Someone made this here last night–simmered it for hours, let it cool, and then chilled it,” Isabelle said, nudging Diana’s arm. “Otherwise, we wouldn’t be lucky enough to enjoy it.”

“Oh-” Evelyn and Emily grinned at her knowingly

Diana chuckled and leaned back in her chair to rest. So that was why Brian had come home so late last night–he’d been here tinkering around.

“Don’t drink too much of that; it’s pretty cooling,” Diana reminded Isabelle.

Isabelle brought another bowl from the kitchen. “Your husband was considerate enough. What I’m having is the ginger–infused one.”

Brian had prepared a small batch of ginger toddy as well, though not much.

Diana shook her head. “Such a people–pleaser.”

Isabelle raised an eyebrow. “And you’re not happy he’s being sweet to you?”

“Isabelle, there’s a client outside who needs your attention,” Bonita said, stepping in from the courtyard.

She had intended to call for Diana, but seeing her drenched in sweat, she decided to ask Isabelle instead.

“Alright, I’ll be right there,” Isabelle said, putting down her bowl.

Diana quickly finished her iced mint lemonade and headed upstairs to take a shower.

Isabelle took the tablet Bonita handed her and walked out. A woman in her forties was sitting gracefully on the sofa, browsing through past issues of fashion journals.

“Hello, Ms. Drake,” Isabelle greeted.

Lauren Drake looked up with a gentle smile. “Hello!”

Isabelle was quietly taken aback. Lauren’s skin was exceptionally well–maintained, comparable to Regina’s and Caroline’s, with hardly any visible signs of aging.

That smile alone was enough to leave a lasting impression.

Lauren glanced behind Isabelle and, seeing she was alone, quietly returned her gaze to the magazine.

Bonita had already taken her measurements earlier, and the details were registered on the tablet.

Lauren’s figure matched her graceful demeanor–visibly impeccable, the kind of model physique many designers dream of

They sat on the sofa and discussed the style requirements, finalizing everything efficiently.

The whole process took less than half an hour.

Isabelle thought to herself that she wouldn’t mind a dozen more clients like this.

Speaking with Lauren, she found her tone gentle, her speech soft, and her manners genuinely admirable.

As they walked her out, Diana happened to come into the front from the backyard.

“Should we both go, or will you stay and keep an eye on things here?” Diana asked.

“Let’s go together. Wait for me, I’ll change,” Isabelle said.

If it were an ordinary client, she might not have bothered, but Beatrice was a major patron

“Alright, I’ll wait.”

Diana settled onto the sofa.

Just then, Lauren, who had just stepped out, walked back in.

“Hello,” Diana greeted.

Lauren looked at Diana for several seconds before offering another gentle smile. “Hello, are you also in charge of this studio?”

“Yes, you can come to me if there are any issues.”

Lauren nodded. “I’d like to place another order. I heard Ms. Foster is taking some personal time and might not be available for new designs, so you’ll be handling my requests, correct?”

“That’s right.“.

“Shall we exchange contacts? I haven’t decided on the style yet and would prefer not to make another trip. Would that be alright?”

Diana smiled. It was rare to encounter someone from such circles with such a pleasant, unassuming demeanor–certainly not the

arrogant type.

“Of course,” she said, taking out her phone. They quickly added each other on WhatsApp.

Lauren left shortly after.

Isabelle came out, changed and ready.

Diana watched Lauren’s retreating figure, admiring her graceful posture.

“Look at that walk. I’m so envious. If I still had a figure like that in my forties or fifties, imagine how many younger guys would be interested?”

Isabelle raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “Is Brian not treating you well? Or are you getting restless again?”

“I just hope Brian takes care of himself and doesn’t end up with one of those middle–aged beer bellies, you know, the kind that looks like he’s storing supplies for winter.”
