For a moment after Gray introduced himself, there was silence.

And then, slowly, one by one, some of the people inside offered nods. Others gave brief smiles or simply watched, observing with unreadable expressions on their faces.

Gray didn't let it bother him. He was actually fine, feeling as if his nervousness had suddenly vanished.

He walked toward the nearest open seat beside Marcus, who stood up slightly to greet him with a small nod.

"You're right on time, sir," Marcus said quietly, then

    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

  • Chapter 149: Good News

    The sunlight went from bright to dim across his office window as he spent the rest of the afternoon looking through the supplier documents he'd neglected for the past two days.Fortunately, it was already halfway done when he left it. Still, it took a lot of time, and by the time he finished, his fingers ached from gripping his pen too tightly.His back felt stiff from leaning forward for hours.Gray emailed the draft with a brief note. He slumped back in his chair and let out a breath that had been sitting in his chest since noon."Done," he mumbled. "Finally done."He stayed there for a second longer before dragging himself up from the seat. Marcus had already left for the day. Even the floor of his office was quiet.Without any other choice, he grabbed his bag and tossed in the last of his things before he finally stepped out of the building.Just as he'd expected, the sky was already dark. Street lights were already turned on, lighting the sidewalks. There were also only a few peo

  • Chapter 148: Never Ending Work

    The next day, Gray had already signed the NDA and sent a scanned copy back to Owen. True to his word, Owen responded within minutes, thanking him and scheduling a short follow-up call to confirm. "Thanks for sending everything," Owen's voice came through the phone. He had the same calm tone as yesterday. "I'll dive into the files tonight. Expect a progress update by the end of the week.""Got it," Gray replied. The phone was pressed to his ear as he leaned against the side of his desk. "If you need anything else, just let me know." "I will. Don't worry." "Thanks." Gray let out a quiet breath. "That's all for now. I'll talk to you soon." After that, the call ended with a soft beep. Gray set the phone down on his desk and exhaled again. There was a stack of folders on his desk. Those were the things he scanned and sent to Owen. It was a tiring process, but thankfully, he was now done. Now, he just had to wait for Owen's response. "So... am I done for the day?" It was already p
