Roxanne thought she was just there to sign the contract, and she didn‘t expect to be invited to a banquet.
Since she was dealing with a potential business partner, she thought it would be disrespectful for her to show up wearing a suit.
After giving it some thought, Roxanne gave Madilyn a call.
Madilyn picked up the call fairly quickly, and she asked, “What‘s up, Roxanne? Aren‘t you in Summerbank for work?”
A day before she went to Summerbank, Roxanne had asked Madilyn to help her take care of Archie and Benny.
Madilyn thought Roxanne was worried about Archie and Benny because of the sudden phone call, so she said, “Don’t worry, okay? I‘ve already sent Archie and Benny to the kindergarten, and I watched them go in.”
Roxanne chuckled and answered, “With you in charge, I‘m not worried. I just want to know if you know of any boutiques in Summerbank. I‘m attending a banquet this evening.”
Hearing that, Madilyn raised her brows in puzzlement. “Aren‘t you there to sign a contract? How did you end up getting invited to a banquet?”
In a helpless tone, Roxanne answered, “It‘s a request from the potential business partner, and it wouldn‘t be nice of me to turn him down. Let me know if you know of any boutiques, okay? This is my first time visiting Summerbank, and I don‘t know much about this place.“.
Madilyn didn‘t press her with further questions. She thought about it for a while and said, “If I‘m not mistaken, the Lane family has a branch there. Look around and see if you can find them. I think the bouique is called Neon Boutique as well. Ill give their person–in–charge a call.”
Having husted throughout Chanaea for the past four years, Madilyn had made a lot of friends, and she knew some of the younger members of the Lane family.
Upon hearing that the boutique belonged to the Lane family, Roxanne appeared slightly hesitant. The Farwell family and the Lane family are close. Since I‘m avoiding the Farwell family, I‘ve also been avoiding all the prestigious families they‘re associated with. However, I had no choice but to work with
Queen Group
Madilyn wasn‘t aware of Roxanne‘s worries, so she said, “I think they require customers to make reservations betore going over. Wait a while, okay? tll make some calls and see it I can help you cut the queue.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Roxanne didn‘t reject the idea because she thought she wouldn‘t meet anyone from the Farwell family in a small boutique owned by the Lane family.
Soon after that, Madilyn called her and said, “I‘ve already made an appointment for you. Just
mention my name when you arrive, okay? I need to attend to something, so I‘m going to hang up now.”
As soon as Roxanne acknowledged it, Madilyn had already hung up the phone.
Seeing that it was getting late, Roxanne went to have a simple lunch before going to Neon Boutique in a taxi.
When she arrived at Neon Boutique, it was already one in the afternoon. Roxanne mentioned Madilyn‘s name, and true enough, someone came to bring her in right away.
Roxanne picked an elegant look and took a seat while waiting for the stylist quietly.
She wasn‘t sure if it was just her imagination, but she thought she had heard Lucian‘s voice while she waited
Roxanne only heard the voice for a split second, so she didn‘t think too much about it.
In the meanume, the person in charge of Neon Boutique in Summerbank was following Lucian from behind when he said respectfully, “Mr. Farwell, our head stylist is already waiting for you upstairs.”
Lucian nodded nonchalanty. “Thanks.”
His business partner did well. Although they didn‘t know why he wanted to join Ziegler Group‘s banquet, they contacted Ziegler Group as fast as they could and managed to get their hands on two invitations.
Lucian wasn‘t prepared to attend a banquet, so he didn‘t bring the clothes he needed. Hence, he called someone from the Lane family before going to Neon Boutique.
