“Welcome,” she greeted us in a cheerful tone. “How can | help you today?”
“We don’t have an appointment,” Elizabeth began smoothly, “but we were hoping to speak to someone about a
custom order.”
The woman opened a large, leather-bound notebook and began flipping through the pages. “I believe we have
savailability today,” she said. “Was there a specific tailor you were hoping to see? We employ several.”
“Oh,” | said, faltering slightly. “I don’t actually know their name.”
“That's quite all right,” she reassuredwith a kind smile. “That's actually common here. Many clients cin
knowing which celebrities we've worked with but not the nof the tailor themselves. You know what | mean.”
“Yes, that’s kind of the situation,” | admitted, my nerves showing. “I’m looking for the person who makes clothes
for Alexander Black.”
Her cheerful demeanor faltered for a fraction of a second. “Ah,” she said cautiously. “I'm not sure | can help you
there. He's very selective about his clientele and books up weeks-sometimes months-in advance. For a walk-in
client...”
“This is Alexander Black’s fiancée, Ella Rowan,” Elizabeth interjected, her voice firm.

“I'd really appreciate that,” | said, offering her a reassuring smile.
Her nervous energy seemed to settle slightly as she returned my smile and disappeared into the back, leaving us
alone in the quiet, elegant space.
Alexander POV
“Sir,” August said as he stepped into my office. | had just ended my call with Ella and hastily wiped the smile
from my face, hoping to avoid one of his comments. Lately, he’d made a habit of pointing out my lighter moods.
“Yes?” | asked, meeting his gaze expectantly.
“Mr. Slater has arrived. Shall | bring him up to the office?”
“No, that won't be necessary,” | replied. “Let him know I'll meet him in the lobby shortly. We're going out for
drinks to discuss the details of our arrangement.”
August hesitated, his frown deepening. “Are you certain you want to get involved with him? There are plenty of
other locations we could consider for the wedding.”
“David Lake attempted to humiliate me,” | said, my tone sharp with purpose. “Undoing the damage he’s caused

Though his concern was evident, August didn’t argue further. He was well aware of the risks tied to this
arrangement. Slater and | hadn't worked together in years, and when we last parted ways, it wasn’t under
friendly
