Worgidd Street was busier this Monday morning. The street was always lively, but today it felt as if there was an extra spark
around the area.
Worgidd Street was the very heart of the business district in Carminton. Everything important happened here.
Just off Worgidd Street was Wyndham Lane, a street that carried the weight of the entire Wyndham empire. Every Wyndham company had an office on this lane, from fashion to real estate, and the financial institution.
At the very center of it all stood the Wyndham head office–where Gabriel himself worked as CEO.
Among the many proud structures on the lane, the Wyndham Wardrobe building stood tall and striking. As the luxury van slowed down in front of it, Isla leaned closer to the window, her eyes widening at the sight.
A massive digital screen covered one side of the building, flashing with videos and images of Wyndham’s top models wearing the latest designs.
Her eyes caught on Delphine’s face on the screen, she was wearing a new Wyndham gown. Isla’s chest tightened as she remembered Gabriel’s words from the night before: “Make Delphine the top model for the runway event p>
Before she could think further, her gaze shifted to the group of senior staff standing outside the building, waiting for her arrival. They were dressed nicely and eager to meet her.
The van slowed to a stop right in front of the building.
One of Gabriel’s bodyguards stepped forward and opened the door with a respectful nod.
“Are you ready? ” Gabriel’s deep voice broke through Isla’s thoughts as he looked at her.
“Yes,” she replied softly.
Gabriel stepped out first. The flash of cameras began instantly across the street. The paparazzi had already taken their
positions. Reporters are everywhere as they focus on capturing the perfect photograph.
Gabriel turned back immediately, stretching his hand into the car for his wife. He helped her climb down from the van. She
moved with grace, her heels clicking against the pavement.
The crowd noticed her immediately as she stepped out of the van. Office workers leaned out of nearby building windows to watch People on the sidewalks slowed down. Everyone wanted a glimpse of the powerful couple–Gabriel Wyndham and his
wife
The senior staff waiting by the entrance stepped forward with a sincere smile. Each one extended a hand in turn to welcome
her
“You are welcome to Wyndham Wardrobe, Mrs. Wyndham. We are very excited to finally meet you,” said the Creative Director, Jeffrey Carver–better known in the industry as Jeff.
“Thank you so much,” Isla said warmly, shaking his hand. She greeted the others in turn, with her charming smile.

Gabriel stood beside her, his presence commanding as always. Together they posed for photographs, the perfect image of success and elegance. Even the senior staff joined in. They were also captured.
After the short welcome, the couple was guided inside.
The atmosphere on the ground floor buzzed Employees gathered behind counters and desks, trying to steal a look at the CEO and his wife walking side by side. To many of them, the two looked perfect together. But not everyone thought so
Gabriel led Isla into the conference room. He pulled out a chair for her, and she took the seat gracefully. Then he took his own at the head of the table.
The meeting began Gabriel spoke with ease, introducing his wife to each of the departmental heads.
