Despite the toes Sylvie had stepped on the previous night, her demand was met. Surprisingly.

She'd expected more backlash from Galen, but that morning, he informed her she'd be getting her own space in Astréa Label.

It was the best news Sylvie had gotten in a long while, even though her sisters-June and Astrid specifically-were not happy about it.

She got ready for work and when she reached the company, she was indeed, shown to her office. At least, she didn't have to work under the harsh scrutiny of Ms. Tasmin anymore, as well as various eyes staring at her all the time.

Sylvie should feel accomplished; a little better. But there was still this insatiable ache in her heart, a vacuum she needed to fill.

Her confrontation with Cindy the previous night had given her the confidence she needed to stand up to her family, but she wanted more. She wanted to cause Cindy more pain for what she'd done to her.

To think the bitch had opened up to her face the previous night and told Sylvie that she she'd betrayed her simply because she was envious? Her stupid envy caused her her kids!

Taking up her up phone, Sylvie re-texted the person she'd texted the previous night, asking if there were any new updates. After a few minutes, the person texted back, telling her there was still no lead but he'll be having one in a short while. Sylvie exhaled deeply, forcing herself to remain calm. She should trust him to do this. She really couldn't wait.

She kicked off with work, having so much to do. She had to work on the Timeless Tale designs in the production room, while sketching the Queen's birthday dress. She also needed to work on more personal designs. Sylvie had a lot to do, and despite the plenty staff assisting her, she knew it was still going to take a lot of time and effort.

Later in the day, she surprisingly got a call from her grandfather Sylvie could count the number of times her grandfather had personally reached out to her. It wasn't up to ten times in total.

Taking the call, she apologized for her 'audacity' the previous night and thanked him again for granting her request. But Galen told her that wasn't the reason he was calling, and that if he truly had a problem with what Sylvie had done the previous night, she'd have been out of his house by morning.

"I received information that a specific VIP client requires our services and needs someone over to show him some designs, but he wants it to be you, Sylvie. He wouldn't let anyone else come to him if it isn't you." Galen reported.

Sylvie's brows furrowed. Huh?

"Who's this client?" She asked.
