Leona, on the other hand, shot Robin a disapproving look.


    You worthless thing! she scolded.


    All you ever think about is money.


    Dont you realize that this isnt as simple as it seems? You just might end up shooting yourself in the foot.


    Despite her words, she, too, began to fantasize about the life offort that this n would give them.


    Meanwhile, Robins release left Ste in a state of turmoil the entire day.


    It bothered her so much that she could barely focus on work.


    When she couldnt take it anymore, she clocked off work early and headed to Bes ce.


    To her surprise, Alissa was also there.


    Ste! Be eximed in astonishment.


    What are you doing here at this time? Didnt you justunch your fashion brand? You should be neck-deep with work right now.


    Ste mustered a smile and said, Please.


    No matter how busy I am, I can still make time to see you.


    Beughed. Youre better off spending that time with Matthew instead.


    The man lost his memory.


    Sticking to his side might help him recover it sooner.


    Just like how spending more time with Alissa has helped me remember some of my past.


    Ste said nothing, and only then did Be notice the odd look on her face.


    Ste, did you have a fight with Matthew? Ste quickly denied it with a smile.


    Not at all.


    Were both just really busy these days.


    We dont have much time to talk, let alone fight.


    But Be was not convinced.


    She narrowed her eyes suspiciously.


    Dont Lie to me, I know you too well.


    Something is definitely up with you two, Just tell me the truth.


    If Matthew did something to upset you, Ill help you get back at him.


    Ste sighed. Its really nothing.


    Im just a little stressed about the new productunching.


    Its my first time managing a brand, after all.


    I feel a bit overwhelmed, so Im not exactly in the best mood.


    It has nothing to do with Matthew.


    Be still didnt buy it, but seeing Stes firm stance on the matter, she decided not to press further.


    What were you guys talking about just now? Ste asked, eager to change the subject.


    We were talking about Carly, Alissa replied.


    Shes nning to start an embroidery ss, and is looking for amercial space.


    Then, suddenly thinking of Stes brand, she added, Ste, have you thought about opening a physical store? Ste grew quiet.


    In truth, she had never considered putting up a physical store just yet.


    Most of my orders are made online, she said after a while.


    The studio is mainly for meeting important clients and consultations about the designs.


    The bulk of the production process is handled by the factories.


    Your studio is in a rather remote location, and isnt very spacious at all, Be pointed out. If you want to market your brand to upper society, you will need to have a physical store.


    Trust me, it will do wonders in boosting your businesss image and consumer awareness.


    Ste listened intently, realizing that Bes words held some merit.


    When Ste had originally chosen her studio, her primary focus had been on creating a peaceful and undisturbed environment.


    She hadnt imagined that one day she would be building her own brand.


    After a moment of reflection, Ste said, Ill ask Doreen to check if there are any suitablemercial spaces avable.


    Alissas eyes sparkled with excitement as she replied, Carly has already scouted some properties.


    Theres one that seems perfect, and as luck would have it, its owned by Prosperity Group.


    You could reach out to Matthew and ask if its reserved.


    If not, it would save you a lot of hassle.


    Be chimed in, eagerly listing the propertys advantages.


    The location is prime-close to your studio and surrounded by affluent shoppers.


    Theres a decent amount of foot traffic too.


    Its ideal for a high-end brands physical store.
