Chapter 523
As a matter of fact, there was not much relation between Vicky taking time to recover her legs and how
Vicky was out of reach. Still, Cece and Jennifer were smart enough to ask about the details.
Jennifer asked, "Vicky, are you coming back to work now?"
Vicky nodded.
Due to the issues with her fertility, Tyler gave her the cold shoulder and, in turn, her freedom. Based on
how well she understood Tyler, she was sure he was considering a divorce.
It was not a secret to Cece and Jennifer that Tyler and Sheila got caught sleeping together a while ago.
They presumed Vicky and Tyler must be in the process of a divorce settlement at this point. Worrying it
could upset Vicky if they asked about the details, neither of them talked about it.
To shift Vicky's attention, Cece said, "Vicky, I've accepted an order recently, and we've set up a meeting
in the afternoon. This is a big order, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it alone. Thank god
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou're here, though! I'll hand it to you, then."
After being trapped in the house for far too long, Vicky was hoping to drown herself in her work. Thus,
she smiled. "Sure."
Cece shared the location of the meeting with her. "I think this client is an artist. She's requesting a
couture outfit to wear during her performance. This client is normally busy with her work. She placed
this order a week ago, but she only has the time to meet up after lunch today."
Cece took out her notebook and added, "She places an order for around ten outfits. I think it's going to
take the whole afternoon to discuss the details. The client has another work schedule later, so you'll
have to use the spare time the client has to discuss the details with her."
This sort of order was very troublesome. It was even more exclusive than designing an outfit. This
order fell under the VIP bespoke services. In this world, 90% of people worked to earn money. If the
price the client was willing to pay was worth it, no one would turn down the job.
Cece continued, "The client paid a hefty deposit. Once the details are discussed, she's going to pay
eighty percent of the total bill."
This client was the type of client Vicky and Cece liked.
Once Vicky reconfirmed the address and contact number with Cece, she left the studio.
Vicky arrived half an hour early at the restaurant Cece agreed with the client. She expressed her
reservation to the waitress, who then smiled.
"Miss Shaw isn't here yet, but she has informed us about this meeting. Please come with me, and you
can wait inside the room."
The client had the same last name as hers, but Vicky did not think it was a weird thing. She had
engaged with many customers, and a lot of them shared the same last name.
Since she was in the haute couture field, most of her clients were women from notably wealthy families
and celebrities. It was quite common for an artist to engage with them as well, so Vicky did not think too
much about it.
Half an hour later, she heard footsteps and voices near the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were going to ask me out for lunch today. I have set an appointment with a
fashion designer for a meeting and I can't turn her down now, so..."
"It's fine."
While they were in the midst of their conversation, they opened the door to the room.
Vicky got on her feet and put on her friendly and polite smile.
"Hi, Miss Shaw. I-" Before she could finish talking, she froze.
Gloria was surprised too. "Vicky..."
Vicky looked at Gloria, then at the handsome man beside her. She lowered her head a little. "Pleased
to meet you, Miss Shaw. I'm the fashion designer assigned to discuss the details of your order."
"Fashion designer..." Gloria looked at her. "You're a fashion designer now?"
"Now?" Vicky was puzzled.
"Sorry. I forgot that you've lost your memory," Gloria said faintly. "Before I left the country, you were also
a pianist."
Everyone knew Gloria was talented in everything, but Vicky was not too shabby at all, too.
