Chapter 86 Special Guests
The car returned to the old house, and they went back to the villa. The butler was overjoyed and immediately ordered to start preparing dinner.
Even when Ulysses was not around, every corner of the villa had to be cleaned daily. The butler had been working for the Clark family for over thirty years and had never made a mistake.
They finally gathered together and had some drinks, and Yves wobbled like a madman and danced to the music. He didn't look like the elegant superstar he was; if his fans saw him like this, they might lose some of their admiration and affection for him.
Natalie placed the gifts Victor brought back on the ground and squatted down to carefully select the ones she liked. These were items bought from private collectors abroad, priceless collectibles that were worth far more than luxury brands.
She was slightly tipsy when her phone rang. It was Mia. She happily answered the call and talked while signaling the butler to put the items away and send them to her bedroom. With just a gesture, the butler understood and personally took action.
"Mia, you're back in the country?"
Mia responded affirmatively and got straight to the point. "Clear your schedule for tomorrow night. My big show can't start without you. You and Kelly must come together."
Of course, Natalie supported her friend's career, especially since Mia's shows were incredibly spectacular. "No problem. I'll definitely be there."
Mia paused and said, "Can you bring Yves along too?"
Natalie was surprised. Mia and Yves had never gotten along well. Why was she suddenly inviting Yves?
She coughed and explained, "He's a big star, after all. I can leverage his fame. If my show doesn't have a single well-known celebrity, what will people think of my show?"
Natalie laughed as she walked into her bedroom. "Don't be modest. Your tickets are highly sought after, and many people are eager to attend. Everyone knows that your show sets the fashion trends. But since you asked, don't worry. I'll definitely bring him."
The trend in domestic fashion was initially led by international fashion. A few years ago, Mia won an international fashion award, and her shows became popular and most mysterious private events. Any hint of her designs would set global trends.
This year's private show was being held here, and Mia personally delivered the invitations. Those guests who had received the invitation were all mysterious and were carefully selected by her.
Who wouldn't want to see the legendary, spectacular fashion show in person?
"Thanks." Mia sighed in relief and hung up the phone.
Natalie put down the phone and texted Yves to notify him about attending the show the next night. She didn't wait for his reply and went straight to sleep.
Early the next morning, Kelly called. She wanted to go shopping for clothes to attend Mia's show. Natalie took the opportunity to have a rest while Victor went back to the company and gladly agreed.
They made an appointment in advance, and the staff's eyes lit up when they saw Natalie and Kelly and were eager to greet them from the moment they stepped out of the car.
"Welcome. And to welcome you today, we've specially cleared the store. Everyone will provide exclusive service for you," the store manager said warmly.
Natalie smiled. "You don't need to do so much for us. We'd like to keep a low profile. We'll just look around upstairs and won't disrupt your business."
"This..."
"Just do as she says. We are in a hurry," Kelly urged.
"Yes," the store manager nodded. Of course, she fully accommodated the guests' requests.
Upstairs, the lights were dazzling, and the table in front of them was set with exquisite desserts specially ordered from an international hotel. Even the scent of the perfume was particularly refined, luxurious, and grand.
"What would you like to drink? We've carefully prepared wine from Eldoria Vineyard, exclusively for VVVIPs. It has very little alcohol content and is perfect for ladies. Would you like to try it?" the store manager recommended enthusiastically.
Natalie and Kelly exchanged a glance. "Sure, we'll have a try."
The wine's aroma filled the air, and Natalie immediately knew the store manager wasn't lying. This wine had no brand, wasn't sold publicly, and was only suitable for private enjoyment.
Natalie and Kelly sat on the sofa, and the store manager handed them an iPad with a photo catalog of the store's limited-edition items.
Then she adjusted the lighting to find the most suitable one and clapped her hands. And models wearing sample clothes came out one after another on the iPad. Their body shapes and sizes were similar to Natalie’s and Kelly's, so they didn't even need to try them on. They just nodded at the ones they liked without any hassle.
While they were focused on looking, they suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. "Where is the staff? Is this how you serve your customers?"
Natalie glanced over and saw Alyssa and Angela standing at the door.
Indeed, clearing the store first was a good idea.
