Sean gestured toward her. “Lottle, this is the restoration expert I told you about–Louisa Sinclair.”

Charlotte’s eyes lit up with surprise. She had expected some elderly craftsman, not a stunning woman with an effortless air of sophistication.

Charlotte quickly stood up and stepped forward, shaking Louisa’s hand with excitement. “Dr. Sinclair, It’s an honor! I’m Charlotte Riley. My ceramic figurine is in your hands now.”

Louisa blinked, then let out a laugh. “Dr. Sinclair? Am I performing surgery or fixing porcelain?”

“You’ve always been reserved and ridiculously picky. Before I got here, I was dying to know what kind of women could actually win you over.”

She turned back to Charlotte with a teasing grin. “Now that I’ve met you, I get it. If I were him, I’d be smitten too.”

Charlotte finally let out a breath of relief “Thank you. I really appreciate it.”

“Piece of cake.”

Louisa was internally celebrating

What a deal

“Do you have any pictures of the original?”

“Yeah, I’ll send them over.”

“Perfect. I need any details, I’ll check in with you. I should get going now.”
