"Alaïa. What are you still doing here?" A familiar voice sounded out behind her.


Alaïa turned around and saw Kaiser walking into the living room, his briefcase in one hand as he loosened his tie with the other.


"Ah ah ah. I am now the lovely Designer and Stylist Lia. Please call me by that name." Alaïa waggled her fingers at him with a teasing smile.


Hearing her words, Kaiser sighed, "I see you still have that flippant attitude."


"And I see that you're still dressed in such a boring black suit even after all the work I did to provide you with such a beautiful selection of colors and styles," Alaïa replied with a smile when he rolled his eyes.


"It's good to see you in person after such a long while Kai. You're looking good these days. Much happier."


"So are you Lia. Back to my question, how come you're still here? It's quite late." Kaiser asked as he looked around the quiet house.


"I just finished consulting with your little girlfriend, and I wanted to talk to you face to face. If you're looking for her, both she and Luca have gone to sleep."


"You met Luca?"


"I saw him this morning. Ahhh my little baby Luca. He's quite cute even though he came out looking like you. Although he's a bit shy and quiet, he listens quite well to Valentina. Do you know he cutely introduced himself to me? He held up his little fingers and told me he was four. It was so cute I could die!"


"Mmm." Kaiser gave a satisfied smile as he sat down across from her.


"So? How was Valentina?"


"She was good. I actually quite like her. She's pretty determined and not afraid to speak her mind. Strong focus and spirit too considering she looks like a stiff wind might knock her over. She has a lot of potential and her beauty is off the charts." Alaïa reported with a smile that slowly faded away. "Does she know about..."


"No. And I intend to keep it that way so make sure to keep your mouth shut." Kaiser retorted coldly.


"...got it."


The two were silent for a moment, possibly thinking about the past before Kaiser sighed again.


"How did today go? Will the two of you be working together?"


"Maybe. Apparently, it depends on my performance. A whole me that people are begging to work with. It's rather funny if you think about it. I was speechless when she told me." Thinking about the analytical expression Valentina used to evaluate her, Alaïa couldn't help but smile.


"Good. You better do your best and make sure she's unmatched on that carpet and future ones. That's what I'm paying you for after all."


"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, I'm already working hard on tailoring her outfit and now you want me to add two additional suits on such short notice. Why? You have plenty of suits I've made for you in your closet."
