In Time

Chapter 63

Return to the hometown, they got back to their own routinities while trying their best to spend time with each other.

The opening day was getting closer and closer. Clarisse was busy with her fashion business, named as Noble. Jennifer who acted as the head designer had been making a lot of high-quality designs. She would always ask suggestions from Clarisse since she found that Clarisse had a very good taste in fashion. Clarisse even had a lot of ideas. She wondered how great Clarisse would be if she had mastered designing.

In their humble studio, they gathered to discuss their upcoming opening. The appointed director, Winny, opened the discussion.

"Since that it is two weeks left before the opening the we should decide what kind of strategic that we want to use. Either sale or inviting a lot of influencers."

Clarisse shook her head. "Sale is absolutely not suitable for our brand."

"That's what I thought as well.", Winny  agreed. "Then, how if we invite the influencers so that our brand will be well-known?", Jennifer suggested

Clarisse smiled "Actually, this plan has always been in my mind. I'm just afraid that it will be too risky."

"What is it about?", Winny asked with curiosity.

"Our market target is the elite of the elites thus we should emphasize the prestige of our brand.", Clarisse explained.

"Do you mean we will only focus on the rich? How about the ready-to-wear editions?", Winny asked.

"Like our name, Noble, our products will only be for limited people. After all,  Jennifer's designs are more than qualified to be bone of contention."

Winny nodded. "It is in line with our name and our high quality products. What do you think Jennifer?"

"I'm all fine. You guys decide.", she vetoed.

"Then, let's do as you say.",she looked at Clarisse. "Then, our opening will be as simple as possible. While these days, we need to gift some elites our designs for free. Will it be fine?", again she asked for Clarisse's consent.

"I'm okay with that. A small sacrifice to gain big.", she agreed.

"Then, I will make a list of the people to let you guys decide which of them would have the bless to get our free high-quality items."

Therefore, the discussion came to an end.

When she came out from the studio, she saw a black Maserati was parked in front of the door. Then, the familiar face was shown when the window was rolled down.

"Beautiful lady, do I have the honour to have dinner with you?", the man asked.

Clarisse walked closer to the man before giving him a peck. "You always have the honour, handsome man.", she chuckled as she ran toward the passenger seat.

As soon as she sat, Kevin leaned forward to help her buckle the seatbelt. In the process, he stole a kiss. "I miss you so much."

"I can guarantee that I miss you more, big boss.", she caressed his cheek.

"No.. I will always win this game.", he tapped her nose. "I will always be the one who misses you more."

Dinner, they had it in one of the best restaurants in town. This restaurant was one of Kevin's small business with his friend which resulted better than expected.

"This restaurant's food is very good. Shall we come again next time?", Clarisse smiled as she munched on the food.

"Silly girl, you are the owner. You can come whenever you want."

"Hm? Mine ? How can it be?"

Looking at his mishiveous smile, she suddenly realized "This restaurant is yours ?"

"Before I changed it to your name. I was the biggest shareholder."

"Big boss, I shall give you all of my respects. Tell me, how rich exactly you are."

Estimating the restaurant, Clarisse knew that this restaurant might earn a couple of millions per month. She was really speechless at the man in front of her. How capable he actually was, she even still didn't know the whole.

"Why?"

"I will make sure that no one will snatch this walking bank."

"You say it as if you will use my money.", he snorted. Even after he gave her his black credit card since months ago, she hadn't made any purchases with it.

"Of course I will. Who says that I won't ?"

"Keep on bluffing, little girl."
