"They're in A City, just like what Percy said. But with everything looking so good, I've been quite busy lately. There's a big project coming up at Brilliant, and I simply don't have the time to try on the wedding dresses. I can't even pick which dress to wear just by looking at the photos," Nina said in anguish. The wedding planning company had been urging her to come in and try on the dresses. The wedding dresses were expensive and not easy to move around. On top of that, the makeup was quite complicated, so she had to go to the wedding studio to try on the dresses.
“Don't you happen to have some free time today?" Luca smiled.
"Can you come with me?" Nina blinked her eyes. The dresses had arrived for quite some time, but she had yet to try them on. Aside from being busy, she could not find the time to go there with Percy.
Nina did not want to try on the dresses alone, but she had no idea who she should look for to accompany her.
Nina had the thought of having Luca accompany her to the wedding studio when she came up with that suggestion.
"Sure," replied Luca. All the dangers that Luca had previously faced had been resolved at the moment. It would not be a problem for her to go out on her own.
"Come with me. It's nice to have someone to accompany me to try on the wedding dresses." Nina smiled sweetly. Percy initially promised to take her to try on the dress after the shareholders' meeting ended.
Little did she know that something like this would happen to Pierre after the shareholders' meeting had ended.
Percy only managed to find some time to attend Louis' housewarming party by pushing back some work. He still needed to cope with his busy schedule.
"Alright." As Luke came across Luca's mind, her smile froze and she said, "Do you mind if I head upstairs first?"
"Sure. Hurry up. I'll be waiting here for you." Nina smiled and gently nudged Luca's arm. Even though Luca did not state it directly, Nina knew what she meant.
Luca made her way up the stairs and gently knocked on the door of Luke's bedroom.
"Come in," said Luke.
Luca pushed the door open and walked in. Luke was busy with his work, so she said in a soft voice, "Nina's wedding dresses have arrived. I'd like to accompany her to the wedding studio to watch her try on them."
"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" Luke dropped everything and asked.
"The bride's makeup is quite complicated. We probably can't make it back in time for dinner if we're going now," answered Luca as she shook her head.
"Then make sure you eat dinner on time. Don't starve yourself," Luke reminded her.
"Okay, I will. May I leave now?" Luca listened to his reminder that was said in a slightly grave tone. She knew it was not that Luke was reluctant to let her out, but he was trying to express his concern.
Luca could feel the tenderness in his serious tone.
"Wait," Luke called out to Luca, who was about to leave. He rose to his feet and walked into the bedroom opposite him.
Luca stood at the doorway and watched him take a thick coat out of the wardrobe and hand it to her. Then, he reminded her, "The temperature fluctuates significantly between daytime and nighttime. Take this. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay, got it. Thank you." Luca immediately put on the jacket and slowly headed downstairs.
Nina was waiting for her at the staircase. She nodded approvingly when she saw Luca wearing the jacket. "It seems that Mr. Crawford is quite attentive."
"Huh?" Luca suspected that Nina had overheard their conversation at the bend of the staircase just now.
"Mr. Crawford asked you to put this on, right? There's a huge difference between the temperature during the day and night recently. He's probably worried that you might catch a cold." Nina suppressed her smile and teased her. She recalled that before she set off, Percy handed her a thick coat too.
Nina had no idea what time she would be coming home. What Percy meant was it was better to be prepared by bringing the jacket along with her.
"Let's go. The bride's makeup is quite complicated. The sooner the better. By the way, did you make an appointment with the wedding planner?" asked Luca. Even though Nina was a VIP client of the wedding planning company, it would be better for her to make an appointment in advance to avoid any inconvenience.
"I talked to them earlier. She's at the studio. We can head over now," replied Nina. The CXO of the company only served particular customers like Nina. Hence, she would wait for Nina at the studio whenever she gave her a call.
“Let's get moving.” Luca and Nina walked out of the villa, arm in arm.
After they left the villa, Nina drove the car while Luca sat in the passenger seat. The two of them headed toward the wedding studio.
When they arrived at the wedding studio, they were escorted to the VIP room by the receptionist.
Yancie walked into the VIP room and saw Nina and Luca together. She smiled and greeted, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Mallory."
"Good afternoon." Nina slightly nodded, trying to maintain her image in front of them. Every move she made was significant and represented Percy's image.
Nina had prepared herself for this as she knew that being by Percy's side was what she wanted. She had to put up a facade all the time.
Even though it would be difficult, she would try her best to overcome this.
Yancie glanced at Luca and asked, "Mrs. Mallory, is she your bridesmaid?"
"No, she's my friend. She came to help me to pick out my wedding dress today," replied Nina as she shook her head. Although she wanted Luca to be her maid of honor, Luca seemed reluctant to do so. Therefore, Nina only mentioned it once and did not bring it up again.
"Alright. I'll have the assistant bring over the wedding dress and dinner dress that Mr. Micheal designed for you," said Yancie. Then, she picked up her walkie-talkie and instructed her assistant to bring the dresses over.
After that, Yancie asked, "Mrs. Mallory, have you reviewed the wedding floor plans that I sent you? What do you think about them? Have you decided which one to pick?"
Nina understood her unspoken implications. She knew she had been delaying things for too long. "I'll give you an answer in the next two days," answered Nina.
"Great. As for your bridesmaid, the bridesmaid's dress is tailored too. So, you'll have to pick someone to be your bridesmaid in advance..." Yancie reminded her. She had no choice but to give Nina, someone who held a position of prestige, a tactful reminder.
They did not want to delay things for too long. In the end, they would be the ones who had to suffer if they could not finish everything in time.
"I'll have the bridesmaid selected by the day after tomorrow," replied Nina.
Even though Nina had not found a bridesmaid yet, she had decided to choose one of the young female employees working in the company to be her bridesmaid. After all, there were only a few people around her who were suitable for the role.
"That would be great." Yancie let out a sigh of relief.
"I'll bring the bridesmaid here to have her measurements taken for her dress after picking one. I'll bring the flower girl with me too. The flower girl's dress is also designed by your company's designer, right?"
"Yes. Mr. Mallory's assistant has discussed it with us. Our chief designer will be in charge of all the other dresses except for your wedding dress, which is designed by Mr. Micheal," explained Yancie. As soon as Yancie finished her words, there was a knock on the door. Then, Yancie's assistant came in.
"Mrs. Mallory, your wedding dresses and dinner dresses are here," said the assistant. As the door creaked open, the assistant wheeled in a towering display rack adorned with exquisite wedding gowns and formal dresses.
