Chapter 155: The Surge
The question lingered in Gray's mind even after a day.He didn't expect it to.It wasn't something he took seriously at the time. But now, while sitting alone in his office, he found himself replaying Elliot's words again and again."Have you ever thought about learning more?"Gray leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed as he stared blankly at the whiteboard across his desk.He wasn't interested in fashion.For him, all clothes were the same as long as they served their purpose. It didn't help that his closet was basically just shirts, plain jackets, jeans, and his formal wear for work.Aside from that, the industry itself sounded like a different world. Luxury, high-pressure, and filled with names and trends he couldn't keep track of.But still...He couldn't deny it.It hadn't felt bad being part of it yesterday. The discussion, the design talk, the way Elliot took his input seriously, even though he'd said he didn't know anything.It was weirdly satisfying."Maybe..." Gray
Chapter 154: Have You Ever Thought?
"I suppose you received the suit, Gray. It was not my creation, but I was the one who chose it after seeing your build."Gray was speechless.The answer to the long-awaited question of who gave him the suit was now finally answered.Selina blinked, stepping forward slightly."Wait. What do you mean you gave him a suit? My grandpa didn't tell me about that.""I just received a box with a suit inside. I don't know how long ago that was. I didn't know it came from your grandpa."Elliot raised a single brow."Ah. It was meant to be a secret. I didn't know about that. I apologize.""No, it's fine." Selina shook her head. Even she was surprised.She didn't know her grandpa had planned this far ahead."I can't believe he actually kept this from me..." Her jaw tightened slightly."Grandpa's always doing things behind people's backs, so I should've known."Gray chuckled under his breath. "Well, tell him thanks, I guess. That suit saved me more than once.""I'll be sure to scold him for not tel
Chapter 153: The Last Suit
After their introductions, Elliot snapped his fingers all of a sudden. The two assistants moved almost immediately. They rolled over a portable mirror while the other opened a sleek black case filled with measuring tools and sketchpads. "Let's start with you, Gray." Eliot turned to Gray. The corner of his lips rose to the side as he gave him a nod. "Take off your top." "..." Gray blinked. "Huh?" Did he just hear right? Gray quickly turned his head slightly toward Selina. "Did he just say take off my clothes?" Elliot didn't even give Selina the chance to say something. "Yes, please. We need the measurements as close as possible so it'd be a perfect fit." Gray squinted at him. When Selina noticed it, she stifled a laugh. "Don't worry. It's not everything, Gray. Just the top. It's really the process." He glanced at her, then at Elliot, then back at the assistants setting up. They didn't look fazed. "For some reason, this feels illegal," he muttered under his breath, just enou
Chapter 152: Elliot Rentz
"Make yourself comfortable."Selina glanced over at Gray and Lily as she led them into the living room. There was lightness in her step as she moved barefoot across the marble floor. Gray had expected the layout of her condo to be exactly like his. After all, they lived on the same floor of the same building. However, almost immediately, he noticed the difference. The floor plan was similar, but the interior... it was something else entirely. Her condo felt more luxurious, but in a subtle way. The cream-colored walls were accented with paintings. Some had scenery as the main theme, while others were more modern and abstract. Selina's furniture also looked custom. They were made out of more expensive wood, soft velvet, and leather materials that looked perfectly together. Aside from that, her appliances were top-tier brands. The ones in Gray's condo were already high-end, but Selina was just on another level. Gray couldn't help it. His brows lifted slightly. "Wow," he murmure
Chapter 151: That Little Devil
After spending a few more minutes walking through the store and checking on everything, Gray eventually returned to his office for the rest of the day. There were still numbers to review, emails to send, and vendor follow-ups to make. However, even with his workload, he left the store an hour early. By four in the afternoon, Gray was already stepping inside the elevator of his condo. He adjusted the collar of his shirt as he walked toward his unit, his bag slung loosely over one shoulder. As he opened the door, "Lily?" he called out. "I'm in the kitchen, Brother!" her voice rang out cheerfully. Gray walked in and found her sitting at the table with her feet swinging off the chair. A half-eaten sandwich was in front of her, along with a glass of cold juice. She looked up at him the moment he entered. "You're home early, Brother!" Gray set his bag down and leaned on the back of a chair. "Yup," he said with a smile. "It's because we've got somewhere to be." "Where?" "Selina's p
Chapter 150: Proud Brother
Gray stared down at the invitation. His eyes widened, and his lips parted before he looked at Lily again. She was practically glowing. Standing there in her pajamas, with her cheeks flushed from excitement and her eyes wide and full of hope. Gray's chest swelled, something rising in him that he couldn't fully name. His mouth twitched upward, then stretched into a full smile. He was so proud of his sister. "You got picked," he murmured, almost to himself. "Yes, Brother!" Lily repeated out loud. Gray let out a loud laugh in disbelief. He crouched down slightly and reached out, resting a hand gently on top of Lily's head. "I'm really proud of you," he said. "You did this all on your own?" Lily's face lit up. "Mhm! I practiced a lot. I wanted to sing well so they'd choose me, Brother." "That's good, Lily." Gray felt the corner of his throat tighten. His eyes stung slightly, not from sadness, but from how fast everything was changing.He just suddenly realized how fast Lily was
