Chapter 432:
When they stepped into a men’s clothing store, she slowed down and became far more particular. Meanwhile, Kailey stood off to the side, passing time on her phone.
“Kailey.” Candice walked over holding up a suit, her smile bright and expectant. “What do you think of this one p>
The fabric was a deep gray with a subtle blue undertone, and the design felt distinct without being loud. Kailey looked it over carefully. “It stands out in a good way p>
“That’s the point. It has to feel different.” Candice held the suit in front of her and studied it closely, as if she could already picture someone wearing it. “He’s never been like anyone else. Only he could really make this color work p>
The sales associate quickly cut in. “Is this for your boyfriend? If it is, you might want to decide soon. This fabric is limited, and we’re almost out p>

“No, I don’t want this one. I’ll have your top designer create something custom instead.” Candice returned the suit to the rack and left the measurements behind, then slipped her arm through Kailey’s. “He’s very particular when it comes to gifts.

After dropping Candice off, Kailey drove straight home. She had barely parked in the yard when her phone rang. It was Kyson.
Kailey stepped out of the car and answered in a playful tone. “The number you’ve reached is exhausted. Press one to keep talking, or hang up if you don’t care p>
Silence lingered for a second on the other end.
“One,” Kyson said.
