She walked in like she owned the place, head high, still wearing her robe but with her makeup already done. A designer bag hung off one shoulder. She didn’t even glance at Izzy. Instead, she smiled at the short–haired woman and moved in to kiss both her cheeks.

“It’s been too long,” the woman said. “I’ve missed you.”

Izzy remained seated, watching.

The woman turned her back on her and faced Cindy again. “I came to pick up the black dress. The one with the slit. You remember, right? It was supposed to be delivered to my dressing room an hour ago.”

Cindy took a small step backward. “Miss Sarano. It’s good to see you.”

Of course. Cassandra Sarano. Actress. Drama queen. Headache. Izzy had seen the woman on TV. She had also read some news about her from Cecil but this would be the first time meeting her in person.

Cassandra waved her hand. “I was told by Lawrence DeWitt himself that the dress was tailored for me. He said it would be perfect for the event tonight. So imagine my surprise when I showed up and it wasn’t even there.”

Cindy clasped her hands together. “I understand, and I truly apologize for the confusion. But the dress is already set aside for someone else.”

Cassandra blinked. She finally looked at Izzy as if she just realized that there was someone else in the room.

Izzy didn’t move. She had heard of the name Cindy before. She’s a famous designer of Z’s–a well–known luxury brand tailored for the younger generation. However, Izzy knew that Cindy was also a famous couture designer! Who would have known that Liam would actually let Cindy dress her tonight? Izzy simply met Cassandra’s gaze.
