"Thank you for coming, Mr. Ryley and Mr. Martin," Gracia said after the four of them finally met inside the meeting room.
"This is Mrs. Claire Morrison, the owner of Hyacinthia. Mrs. Claire, this is Mr. Ryley Schwartz, our brand ambassador and his manager, Mr. Martin Flescher."
Claire stepped forward and extended her hand towards the blond, smiling. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Ryley shook her hand, smiled and politely responded, "It's a pleasure to meet you too."
It was such a great honor for him as a rising model to meet the owner of one of the top notch fashion brands. He had expected that the figure would carry such a majestic aura, but he didn't expect that the woman turned out to be this dignified.
However, something about Claire seemed off when Ryley accidentally caught the way she looked at him, with her beautiful brows seemingly struggling to not create a crease in between, and her bright blue irises rippling, as if a wave of grief washed through it.
