Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 499

"Jane, darling!"

Christine handed me her phone, excitement bubbling in her voice. "You've got to see this! Last night, Bella hit the red carpet in your design, and she totally stole the show. Not only did she mention you and Janedream during her interview, but her team also tweeted about us, tagging our studio." "Bella's like a walking, talking headline ma. Whoever gets linked to her hits the jackpot. Now, your name's all over the trending topics." "Orders on Janedream's online store have skyrocketed, and we're booked solid for custom designs through next year. If you hadn't capped advance orders to a year, we'd be swamped for ages..."

"What time is it even? I've already got managers of A-list celebs sliding into my DMs. The moment I accept them, they're all clamoring for your personal touch on their outfits! They're even willing to pay double!"

I was momentarily stunned. "She mentioned me and Janedream?"

Just yesterday, Ike spent the day at the Taylor estate, returning utterly spent. He clung to me for a bedtime story and, before I knew it, I had drifted off to sleep alongside him, completely forgetting about the film festival.

Now, checking my own social feed, notifications were off the charts.

Bella's team posted: In gratitude to renowned designer @Jane, @Janedream for their work.

Accompanying the post were stunning shots of Bella, arranged in a grid.

Despite our previous fallout, I had yet to see her in the gown. Opening the photos, the impact was undeniable.

The comments were unanimously adoring, with heaps of praise for the designer.

"Exactly." Christine was over the

moon. "A single statement from her, one post, and it's done more for us than two years of marketing efforts. You should give her a call, say thanks."

"...Maybe later." I hesitated.

Given Bella's attitude last time, it was clear she wasn't keen on further interactions.

It was likely something the Myers family or perhaps Victor had done to deeply offend her.

Yet, as

kin,stant as my relationship

with Victor might be, we were stillet

it felt wrong to impose on

Bella's goodwill.

Christine saw right through me. "Worried about last time?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"But if Bella made the gesture last night, doesn't it mean she's moved on?"Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Who knows?" I couldn't help but laugh at the situation. "I can't just take her generosity as a stepping stone, can I?"

Just then, my phone began to ring, cutting our conversation short.

The caller ID displayed Bella's name, taking gme by surprise. Without

moment's hesitation, el

answered with a smile, with a smile, "Ms. Taylor!"
