Chapter 718
As Owen and Mira chatted, Luna’s sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.
It was impossible. There was no way they could secure a House of Laurent gown.
She had begged and offered double the price and still couldn’t get a reservation. How could they?
Mira and Owen turned to see Luna, Lawrence, and Seraphina staring at them with
wide eyes.
Mira mentally rolled her eyes. What a lunatic. They were practically enemies, yet Luna still went out of her way to interrogate them. Did she have a death wish?
Ignoring them completely, the couple strolled effortlessly into the boutique.
“Do you think they actually managed to get custom pieces from House of Laurent?” Luna asked Lawrence and Seraphina, biting her lip.
The two were already stunning; if their outfits outshined hers, tomorrow’s event would completely revolve around them.
“Impossible. You have to book six months in advance. The engagement was only finalized recently p>
Lawrence scoffed.
“What if they booked it half a year ago and it just happened to coincide with our party p>
“What are the odds of that?” Seraphina shot back.
Her stomach twisted. She refused to be upstaged.
Tomorrow, she was the star of the show. All eyes needed to be on her.

Inside the House of Laurent boutique.
“Oh my god! Only a flawless figure like yours could do justice to the sheer beauty of this gown!
No, wait-only my designs are worthy of your stunning curves p>
The head designer’s eyes were practically glued to Mira as she stepped out of the fitting room.
“Would it be alright if I included your photos in our premium portfolio? You would bring so much brilliance to the House of Laurent p>
The designer pleaded. It had been far too long since she felt this deeply inspired.
She was an internationally
acclaimed creator with countless

Mira glanced at Owen.
“Go ahead. It’s good publicity,” he said smoothly.
Mira offered the designer a polite nod. “Is there compensation p>
“I will design another custom piece for you, completely free of charge! Actually, make that two! Your radiant complexion has given me endless stream of inspir
“Do I really need that many dresses p>
Mira asked Owen.
He had already purchased two heavily customized gowns for her.
The price tag here was astronomical.
“Yes, there will be plenty of galas in the future.
Have her create two different styles in different colors so you have options p>
“Alright. Might as well take advantage of you swiping your card p>
Owen let out a low, helpless chuckle.
The dresses fit flawlessly, requiring zero alterations, so they arranged for them to be delivered

Afterward, the couple headed back to the office.

With the party tomorrow, they needed to cram two days’ worth of work into a single afternoon.
As they were wrapping up for the day, Owen glanced at his phone. “House of Laurent just posted your photos online p>
“That fast p>
Owen handed her the screen to look.
“Are they part of your empire too p>
“Yes, I’m an investor p>
“So, when they rake in the profits, you get the lion’s share p>
Owen nodded.
“Then I don’t mind. Using my photos and videos is just free marketing for you p>
“I also own a jewelry division. Let’s go pick out some pieces for you p>
