Edward picked up his cup of tea and conceded, “My apologies, Mr. Fox, for my inconsiderate request. I had been so preoccupied with what my daughter thought. Please, do bring your wife along next time. I’m sure she must be a very special woman.”
“She is certainly special,” Stanley said warmly.
Afterward, the two men resumed their collaboration discussion. Both parties laid out their plans for the collaboration, and since it was a mutually beneficial venture, it was quickly finalized.
Meanwhile, Monica had finally decided on an exquisite designer gown. It was the most popular dress that Emma had designed the previous year, and it had been auctioned off for approximately 700 thousand. After a while, Monica emerged from the dressing room, flaunting a black, single-breasted blazer top that emphasized her curves. In addition, the cinched waist gave her a fashionable and mesmerizing appearance. Combined with her tulle skirt that shimmered and glistened like stars, she exuded an air of sophistication.

“Emma’s designs are always exquisite in color combinations and fabric selections. The stylist was clearly a fan of Emma, as he could not stop gushing about her while working on Monica’s hair. “Since she rarely releases new designs, her old designs are still so popular.”

The stylist’s apparent disappointment with Monica’s response led him to stop further probing her about. Emma.
After some time, Monica gazed into the mirror. As someone who devoted all of her time to her work, she rarely looked in the mirror. She realized for the first time in a long time that she was radiant with beauty. Surely, if I look this gorgeous tonight, Stanley will give me more than a passing glance. I can’t wait for tonight!
The day quickly turned to night, and as the workers and maids finished their final inspections, a brilliant sunset painted the skies by the glorious castle estate. After everything had been properly set up, the venue looked absolutely magnificent. All those colorful details-the streamers, balloons, flowers, stage, posters, table settings of delectable desserts and wine in sparkling glasses-and the sweet melodies filled the air. -The scene felt like something out of Alice’s fantasy of a princess coming to life.
Meanwhile, far out on the sea’s horizon, the setting sun splashed the sky with brilliant shades of red. Hence, enjoying delicious food while watching the sunset amidst nature’s splendor would be romantic.

Yet, her excitement was still palpable as she eagerly anticipated the endorsement segment of the ring. Unfortunately, no one had informed her that it had been canceled because they had all been extremely busy all afternoon.
