?Chapter 636: Harlee exuded an innate reserve, while Cassie, though outwardly serene, harbored a fierce determination.


    Judging from the surface, their personalities hinted at discord.


    Yet, in reality, their dynamic defied expectations.


    Putting aside the topics surrounding Ang, they discovered a shared passion within the vibrant world of fashion.


    This mutual interest forged a bond between them, erasing the significant age difference as if it were nothing.


    Please call me Harlee, Harlee suggested casually.


    Cassie, her smile as inviting as ever, tilted her head slightly.


    I might be a few years older than you, but feel free to call me Cassie.


    Cassie, Harlee remarked, cementing their newfound camaraderie.


    Cassie, a strategic glint in her eye, stated, By the way, Harlee, Im aware youre considering closing down Janessa Studio in Uwhor to focus on your career back home.


    I own a fashionpany myself.


    If it suits you, youre wee toe aboard.


    Initially, Cassie had nned to lure Harlee into a partnership, splitting the profits seventy-thirty, with her reaping the benefits behind the scenes.


    Yet, as their conversation deepened, she found herself genuinely liking Harlee and decided instead to offer one of her most sessful ventures.


    I believe coborating with you would be much more rewarding, Harlee responded, her smile soft yet genuine.


    At that moment, their understanding was absolute, an unspoken agreement of mutual respect and potential thriving between them.


    As Sk descended the stairs with Eva in tow, her entrance caught the attention of Cassie and Harlee, who were deeply engaged in conversation.


    ｍ????????ｅ ｕ????ｄ????ｔｅｓ ????ｎ ?????ｌ????????ｖ????ｌ????.???????????? What are you two chatting about so happily? Sk inquired, her curiosity piqued.


    Cassie, typically reserved around the elite, noticed something refreshingly genuine about Sk that differed from the other affluentdies she was ustomed to.


    Letting her guard down, she disyed her true, spirited self.


    Draping an arm around Sks waist in a friendly gesture, Cassie teased, Ive just struck up a friendship with Harlee.


    Does that make you my friends mom now? Caught off guard, Sk blinked, herrge, expressive eyes mirroring her confusion.


    She had merely gone upstairs to assist Eva with a change of attire, and now, it appeared Cassie had shifted personas.


    Gone was the poised and respected matriarch of the Patterson family, reced by this yful and candid figure.


    Observing Sks endearing look of bewilderment, Cassie couldnt help but be charmed.


    It was no wonder she found Harlee so likable.


    Sk was just as delightful.


    Still puzzled, Sk nced at Harlee, who was sporting a warm, weing smile.


    This prompted Sk to return a sweet smile of her own.


    After all, if Harlee held someone in high esteem, that person undoubtedly deserved friendship.


    With a friendly smile, Cassie gazed at Sk, a hint of concern in her tone.


    Sk, I hope my sudden change didnt startle you too much.


    Sk observed the woman across from her, who seemed transformed, and a smile graced her lips as she dered, I think this new version of you is even more wonderful.


    A flicker of surprise danced across Cassies eyes again.


    It was as though she had only justprehended the depth of her own revtion, but with Harlee and Sk as her newfoundpanions, she was wrapped in a cocoon offort.
