Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1477

That was practically the ultimate role model for modern women.

She certainly didn't possess that kind of courage or audacity.

"Thank you all for the gifts," Lorelei said, picking up her drink and gripping the armrest of her chair to stand up.

"Careful." Seeing her move, Harold immediately dropped what he was doing and supported her waist, raising his own glass. "We gladly accept your gifts and your kindness. Lorelei also has something for everyone."

"It's nothing extremely expensive," Lorelei said, pulling a portfolio from her bag. She looked a little bashful. "I own a boutique studio in Australis. Based on Dr... on Harold's descriptions, I've designed a bespoke silk dress for each of you."

"If there's anything you don't like about the designs, they can be altered."

"Holy—" Melvin let out a gasp of sheer amazement as he looked at the sketch for his outfit.

"Watch your language!" Theia smacked him sharply on the back.

"Ouch," Melvin winced, shrinking his neck before grinning. "Lorelei, you're incredibly talented."

It was a clean, simple white shirt infused with traditional Eastern elements—elegant and striking. He loved it.

"I'm glad you like it." A rosy flush crept into Lorelei's cheeks as she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The others also held their sketches, showering her with praise.

"I brought a measuring tape. Once I take your measurements, the tailoring can begin." Lorelei parted her red lips, maintaining a gentle smile as she spoke at an unhurried pace. "It's just that a lot of the details require hand embroidery, so the production time will be a bit long."

"That's completely fine," Coralie smiled, her red lips curving upward. "For something custom-made by you, I'll wait as long as it takes."

Ebony Fox simply lifted her gaze. "Mm."

Lorelei: As expected, very cool and aloof.

"There's one more thing..." Lorelei suddenly realized, her gaze landing on Juniper's face, her voice dripping with affection. "Juniper is getting married next year, isn't she? I'm going to design two outfits for her."

"One everyday dress and one reception gown. Obviously, hers will be made first."

Next year...

By the time Juniper got married, she and Harold would already be divorced.
