As it turned out, this was because she found out that Rayan would also show up at that Fashion Week. To her, the sooner she came into contact with him, the higher her chances of success; she could put up with being used by Arthur as long as she could complete her task.

The next day, Arthur woke her from sleep early in the morning.

Getting up on the wrong side of the bed, Elspeth stood up with a yawn, glowering furiously at the man who removed her blanket. “Arthur! How could you—”

“I what?” Arthur cut her short. “I’m going to Fashion Week in a moment. If you don’t get up now, you might have to get there on your own later.”

Unlike in Chars, it was difficult to hail a cab in Eden, yet Arthur had only one car in his possession, which made Elspeth wonder if it was on purpose. Glancing back reluctantly, she saw a large box on her desk, which seemed to contain an evening gown. “Is this for me?” She opened it, revealing a black fishtail gown with a low-key yet luxurious and exquisite design that she might prefer.

Arthur nodded. “Of course. Who else here would wear this other than you?”

“How did you know my size?” Elspeth looked at him suspiciously.

“Ahem…” Arthur instantly turned scarlet. “I guessed it from my everyday observation of your physique. I’m a doctor, remember? That’s why I have keen powers of observation.” Well, I couldn’t say that I stole a dress from her wardrobe, no?

Only then did Elspeth lower her guard. She picked up the gown with a smile, saying, “Fine, I believe you.”
