Lost Me Gained Regret

Gregory noticed my mind wandering and playfully ruffled my hair. "Lost in thought?"

I snapped back to reality, managing a small laugh. "It's nothing."

Imagine if my biological mom was a Taylor. That would've made my life way too sweet.

Born a Myers, dating a Ford, and then finding out my mom's a Taylor?

That's like hitting the jackpot in Vista Town's version of high society, not just locally but nationally.

Bella's influence turned Janedream into an overnight sensation.

Suddenly, we were the hottest fashion brand in the country.

We had a flood of requests for custom orders, but after discussing it with Christine, we decided to stick to our original plan and not increase the slots. Slow and steady was the way to go, both for Janedream and for us.

However, we decided to seize the moment and expand our physical stores, not just in Vista Town but also in RiverCity and other major cities.

Suddenly, the whole Janedream team was swamped, with Christine and me running around like headless chickens.

Thank goodness Edith came back just in time, or else we'd have no time to spend with Ike.

With the surge in market demand, our current designs weren't enough. We had to keep coming up with new ones, and Jeff was struggling to keep up. I had to jump back in.

In addition to handling custom orders, I was constantly in meetings or sketching, leading the Design Department in brainstorming sessions.

Christine was in charge of marketing and also oversaw the renovation of our flagship store and the selection of other locations.

We also couldn't neglect the establishment of our Vista Town branch office.

This time, finding a place wasn't as hard. Once we had our location and size requirements sorted, there were only a few options that met our needs.
