Catherine's POV

I nodded. "Alright. Since you can handle so many styles, I'll think about it! But out of curiosity, of all the designers, why did you find me?"

"I think you might be the inspiration for my next song. I want to get to know you!" Alina suddenly stared at me without blinking.

What she said surprised me greatly.

I blinked my eyes sheepishly. "I'm your inspiration? How so? You probably haven't seen me before!"

"I've seen you before, but you probably don't remember me. After all, it was so many years ago." Alina's tone suddenly changed.

I was even more shocked. I tried my best to recall her name, but nothing came up at all.

"Sorry. It didn't ring a bell," I smiled and shook my head.

"Catherine, I've been paying close attention to your launch a long time ago. I always thought it could not be you, but when I saw your work photo in your company, I was sure that it was you. I didn't expect you to be so successful in your career, and you have found yourself such a rich husband." There was a hint of sadness in Alina's expression.

I said self-mockingly, "I guess it took all my luck. I didn't see it coming either."

"What makes me even more excited is that you have two children, and they're so beautiful." Alina suddenly sounded happy.

I quickly changed the subject. "Ms. Gros, I am very grateful that you remember the humble me back then. Are you really here to let me design for you today?"

Alina nodded. "Yes. I am serious. Do you think I am joking?"

I shook my head. "Of course not. I can give you a discount."

"No need. I have enough money. Since I come in good faith, you should be sincere to me as well!" When Alina heard that I was going to give her a discount, she instantly spoke seriously.

When I saw her expression, I didn't dare to joke. I could only nod. "Alright then. I'll show you the design once I'm done. We'll go into details if you're happy about it."

"There's no need to wait for the design. I'm here to ask you to design clothes for me!" Alina immediately said in all seriousness.

The three clients who came today all took my design fees as nothing, which surprised me.

"I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."

"Why should I not be satisfied if I could see you more often? As I said, you are the inspiration for my new song." Alina suddenly smiled, making me get goosebumps for no reason.

It was so weird. We were both women. Why did I feel uncomfortable when seeing Alina smile?

Was I thinking too much?

"OK then. Good luck with your new song!" I suddenly wanted to end the meeting.

I should have felt good, since I was regarded as someone's inspiration. However, I felt that something was wrong.

"I'm sure it'll be a hit, because I will put my heart and soul into it." Alina then stretched out her hand. "Give me the contract. I will sign it now!"

I suddenly didn't want to sign the contract with her. But she was my client, and she was so sincere. I didn't have a reason to turn her down.

I had to comfort myself that everything I did was for money.
