A Stunning Look
“That dress really is perfect on you,” Kerry said, his tone sincere. “Seriously, I don’t know anyone else who could pull off that kind of angelic vibe.”
“You’re too sweet,” Arabella replied with a warm smile.

She could tell Kerry wasn’t just handing out empty compliments, so she accepted the praise gracefully.
“Alright, let me handle your styling myself,” Kerry said before turning to an assistant nearby. “Go grab that new season haute couture set from Tylin Handmade.”
“Right away,” the assistant answered, hurrying off to retrieve it.
When Arabella heard “Tylin Handmade“, she immediately knew–it was the pearl jewelry collection she had just designed.
“Tylin’s new releases usually aren’t even available to the public yet,” Arabella remarked casually “How’d you manage to get your hands on it already?”
“Tell me about it,” Kerry sighed. “Tylin’s pieces aren’t the kind you can just buy even if you’re loaded. I’ve been working with the brand for years, so they hook me up with early access.”
“Makes sense,” Arabella said, leaving it at that.
She was only responsible for the designs–everything else was Colton’s domain. Her role was just to give the direction.
“You seem pretty familiar with Tylin’s work, too,” Kerry noted.
“I know a fair bit,” Arabella said with a slight smile. “Tylin is pretty well–respected in the industry.”
“Pretty well–respected?” Kerry laughed. “In Doranor City’s high society, Tylin is a major name -highly sought after, totally on par with those global luxury houses. Personally, I prefer Tylin’s aesthetic even more. Her range is incredible–edgy, trendy, classic elegance… she really covers it all.”
“Sounds like you’re a genuine fan.” He’d been going on and on–that was real admiration.
“It’s just too bad she never makes public appearances. Otherwise, I’d love to meet her in person,” Kerry added.

Arabella’s lips curved slightly. Well, you’ve already met her–I just can’t say it.

As they chatted, Kerry had already swept Arabella’s hair into a sleek, low bun–clean, polishe and effortlessly elegant.
“Kerry, the Tylin Handmade set,” an assistant announced, presenting the pearl jewelry to Keri
“Perfect,” Kerry said approvingly before adding. “Since you know Tylin’s brand, you probably already know that ‘Handmade‘ is one of their exclusive lines–completely crafted by hand, right?”
“I’ve heard about it,” Arabella replied politely.
Kerry grinned. “It’s so refreshing to talk to someone who gets it.”
“Here, let me help you put these on,” Kerry said as he worked. “Once you’ve got this set on, you’ll be turning heads all night.”
A distinctive pearl hair clip was secured at the side of the bun–subtle yet refined. After adding the pearl necklace and earrings, she carried an air of polished confidence.
Arabella had to admit, Kerry not only had excellent taste but also a real talent for styling. The look he’d created for her was perfectly suited for the evening–clearly, he’d done his research.
“Just a light base for makeup, and we’re all set,” Kerry said. “When you’re naturally gorgeous, you really don’t need much.”
“Here, take a look!” He set down his tools and stepped aside, giving Arabella a full view in the mirror.
Arabella studied her reflection and smiled, satisfied. “No wonder Mr. Stewart chose your studio.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” Kerry replied. “Shall we head out? Mr. Stewart’s probably been waiting for a bit.”
“Yeah,” Arabella agreed, rising to her feet.
Back in the waiting area, Matthew was already there.
He had changed into a tailored black suit, his hair neatly styled, which accentuated his handsome features. There was a noticeable shift in his presence–more composed, more
intense.
Hearing footsteps, Matthew glanced up and saw Arabella approaching in the white gown. His

gaze lingered, as if he couldn’t look away.

“So, Mr. Stewart, what do you think?” Kerry asked, a knowing smile playing on his lips.
Matthew’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I’ll have the payment transferred to your account.”
“Much appreciated. As long as you’re happy, Mr. Stewart,” Kerry said with a raised brow.
“She’s here on her own behalf,” Matthew stated, a hint of warning in his tone.
Kerry shrugged and turned to Arabella. “Hope we cross paths again sometime, Arabella.”
“Take care,” Arabella said with a light nod.
“Let’s go.” Matthew had already turned and started walking away.
If one looked closely, his steps seemed a little quicker than usual.
“Well, that’s new,” Kerry murmured, covering a quiet laugh.
Arabella arched a brow slightly and followed Matthew out.
Once in the car, Matthew’s expression had returned to its usual calm, though he avoided looking in her direction.
But the more he tried to ignore it, the more the image stayed with him–that radiant figure seemed permanently etched in his mind.
Arabella, meanwhile, didn’t notice the shift in Matthew’s demeanor. She glanced down and began scrolling through her phone. “Add another piece to the Summer Love collection.”
Colton asked, “What’s going on? You know all our designs are haute couture–one–of–a–kind!”
“Want to guess how I found out the Summer Love line is already out in the wild?”
After a moment, Colton replied, “Don’t tell me you’re wearing it right now?”
“Yep.” Arabella’s reply was a single, mildly exasperated word.
She hadn’t seen this coming either.
“Got it. I’ll handle it.”
“Okay.”
After sending her reply, Arabella slipped her phone back into her clutch.
