“Why the hurry?” Katie eased into a seat. “I haven’t even shared what I’m looking for yet.”
Professionally, Raegan asked, “And what exactly are you looking for, Miss Glyn?”
“I’m here for a customized engagement dress.” Noticing Raegan’s reaction, Katie seemed to perk up. With a smug look, she rubbed her stomach. “And if I like how it turns out, I might just get my wedding dress from this studio as well!”
After Katie finished her piece, she stood there full of pride, clearly expecting Raegan to inquire about her engagement.
But Raegan’s reaction was anything but curious. She said, “Alright, Miss Glyn, feel free to let me know what you need.”
Katie was surprised by Raegan’s disinterest. How could Raegan not want to know more?
This indifference made it tough for Katie to segue into the decision the board made about Mitchel.
Irritated, Katie challenged Raegan, “Why the hurry? Do you think I can’t cover the cost?”

Raegan offered a smile. “I have other clients waiting. We’re in the business of tailoring dresses, not small talk. If you are looking for a chat, maybe a café would be better.”
Usually, Raegan wasn’t this blunt with her clients, but Katie had cornered her more than once, which made pleasantries unnecessary.
Katie, truth be told, wasn’t here to place an order. The thought of wearing something customized by Raegan was unbearable.
“I said I’m here to place an order!” Katie announced.
Raegan quirked an eyebrow. “Custom orders do start with a deposit.”
“How much does it cost?” Katie inquired.
“Ten percent.”
Without hesitation, Katie paid with her card and stated, “Please deliver the dress to the Dixon Group for signing once it’s ready. The remaining payment will come from the Dixon Group’s accounts.”
She doubted Raegan could keep her composure upon hearing this.
However, Raegan responded with a smile, “Of course, Miss Glyn.” She showed no sign of displeasure.
Katie couldn’t hold back any longer and steered the conversation.

“Miss Foster, were you aware the Dixon Group went through a significant staff change today?”
Looking up, Raegan asked, “Miss Glyn, do you have a preference for white or red?”
Katie was visibly upset, her teeth gritted. That Little bitch didn’t give an answer! “It doesn’t matter. Prepare both. I’ve already paid, so I’ll decide later.”
Raegan collected all the necessary details and stood up, saying slowly, “I’ll get the design sketches over to you in a week or so. Just a heads-up, we’re open to making changes to the designs, but we can’t take them back once they’re done, and the deposit won’t be returned.”
It was a fair policy. After all, sometimes the sketches alone were worth more than the dress itself. Plus, as long as everyone agreed to it upfront, there wouldn’t be any issues.
