Raegan, concerned yet not wanting to seem unsupportive, embraced him, saying, "I'll be here waiting for you."

For Mitchel, nothing was more comforting than hearing his beloved say so. A smile broke across his face as he gently kissed her forehead.

“Alright, wait for me."

Once Raegan got to her studio, a sense of unease followed her throughout the day, the fear of bad news lurking in her mind. She found herself constantly checking news sites, hoping to not come across anything worrisome.

But as the day went by without any drama from the Dixon Group, Raegan's anxiety slowly subsided, leading her to decide against reaching out to Mitchel.

That afternoon, even though there were no updates from the Dixon Group, Raegan got a surprise. A client had made a special request to work with her on a dress worth over a million dollars.

It wasn't out of the ordinary for clients to ask specifically for Raegan, especially those who admired her embroidery skills.

Upon entering the VIP reception room, Raegan noticed a woman in a red dress seated with her back turned to her.

Walking up to the woman, Raegan greeted with a friendly tone, "Hi there, I'm Raegan Foster, the general manager of Crescent."

To her astonishment, the woman turned around to reveal herself as Katie.

"You?" Raegan's eyebrows knitted together in a slight frown.

Katie let out a soft scoff. “Wow, quite the welcome. So, this is the kind of reception your esteemed clients get. It's no surprise your studio's struggling!"

It was clear to Raegan that Katie was looking to stir trouble.

Keeping her cool, she replied, "Miss Glyn, did you come to place an order or just to chat? Because if it's the latter, please excuse me."

Katie's expression turned icy. "I came here to place the order, of course."

“Good, then. Oaklyn, could you please take Miss Glyn's measurements?"

Raegan called out.

“Why the hurry?" Katie eased into a seat. “I haven't even shared what I'm looking for yet."

Professionally, Raegan asked, "And what exactly are you looking for, Miss Glyn?"

"I'm here for a customized engagement dress." Noticing Raegan's reaction, Katie seemed to perk up. With a smug look, she rubbed her stomach. “And if I like how it turns out, I might just get my wedding dress from this studio as well!"
