It possessed a bewitching beauty that was, at its core, deadly.
The patterns on the dress intertwined, creating an aura of mystery.
The colors were intense, the cut was bold, and the lines were sharp, exuding an aggressive elegance.
It was all too familiar.
Wasn't this the very same billion-dollar, custom-made evening gown she had personally designed and rushed to create?
Serena's fingers gently brushed over the fine fabric of the dress, and she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
So, after all that...
After she pulled an all-nighter on the design, worked for two straight days, and fleeced Nicholas of a billion dollars for her creation...
It ended up back in her hands like this.
What was this? She had earned a billion from Nicholas, and then he turned around and gave the billion-dollar dress to her.
She had essentially been paid a fortune to design her own dress.
No wonder she had a nagging feeling that the measurements Nicholas gave her were off.
Brianna was petite, with a smaller frame.
But since the client was the boss, she had Rachel double-check the measurements and received a firm confirmation.
So she had no choice but to proceed according to the client's request.
At the time, she was so busy rushing to make two evening gowns that she didn't have time to overthink it.
Only now did it hit her. The measurements, the style-it was obviously tailor-made for her!
Serena stared at the evening gown.
A few seconds later, she pulled out her phone, took a picture of the dress, and sent it to Nicholas.
Almost instantly, a video call request popped up from Nicholas.
Serena answered.
Nicholas's handsome, almost ethereal face appeared on the screen.
He seemed to be in his study.
His eyes curved into a charming, teasing smile. “So? Does the dress fit?"
Even through the screen, Serena could almost see the man preening like a peacock.
She propped up her phone, leaned back lazily in her chair, and raised an eyebrow at him. “How did you know my measurements?"
Nicholas's smile deepened, and he held up his palm.
His well-defined hand looked almost translucent and exceptionally long under the camera's light.
He curled his fingers slightly, a playful smirk on his lips. “I've held you. I estimated by feel."
Serena scoffed. "It seems Mr. Blackwood is quite the experienced man of the world." "Honest to God!" Nicholas exclaimed, feigning innocence. "You can ask around. I'm a perfect gentleman. You're the only girl I've ever held!
Serena chuckled softly. "It's your own sister's coming-of-age party, and instead of commissioning a dress for Brianna, you had one made for me?"
"You already delivered Brianna's dress, didn't you?" Nicholas's lips curved "Spending a billion to hire the top designer i

the the industry,
Cloud and getting a
buy-one-get-one-free deal. Isn't that
a bargain?"

Serena met his teasing gaze, a smile playing on her own lips. "You figured it out?”
"It wasn't hard to guess." Nicholas
raised his eyebrows lazily, his smile dazzling. “After all, what top-tier designer, after initially quoting a billion dollars, would then offer a two-for-one deal? And be soo thoughtful that the bonus dress... Ä both style and size, was perfectly tailor-made for Brianna? That dress was clearly designed and crafted with just as much care."
“Plus, on the very day I placed the order with YB, a certain someone pulled an all- nighter."
“And as it happens, for the next two
days, that certain someone was practically living at YB
headquarters... Besides you being that genius designer who shook the entre industry, the one and orthy Cloud, I can't think of any other possibility."
