Chapter 475 You’re So Caring, Mr Beauvort

After she hung up, Neera quickly left the office and headed home.

When she arrived at the Imperial Gardens, Jean was playing chess with Fabio.

Jean was the first to greet her. “You’re home.”

Neera nodded.

“Nice to see you again, Neera!” Fabio said.

“Likewise,” Neera smiled and replied. Didn’t you call me “Ms. Garcia” last time? I didn’t know we’d become closer. She thought.

Jean did not comment on that. He asked, “Why did you go to your office instead of resting at home?

Was there something urgent?”

Neera shook her head. “No. I was bored at home, so I went there to catch up on work.

As she said that, her eyes fell on the chessboard.

Fabio’s pieces were cornered, and Jean looked like he was going to win soon.

“Why don’t you finish your game before I try on the gown?” she said.

Fabio assessed the board before saying decisively, “Nah, I’m done. The gown is more important. If it doesn’t fit, I can alter it immediately.”

lan chuckled. “Where’s your sportsmanship, Mr. Lopez? You can’t abandon the game when you see you’re going to lose!”

Fabio wasn’t annoyed when he was called out like that. He smiled and said, “This is called a strategic retreat! Anyway, it’s just a game. Why so serious?”

Jean shot a glance at him. “It’s only a strategic retreat when you still have a chance to make a comeback. Yours should be called a cowardly retreat!”

Fabio chuckled sheepishly. “It’s better than suffering defeat! But hey, can’t you go easy on me? Would it kill you to let me win just once?”

“Yes, it would. In fact, I enjoy tormenting you. Here’s a word of advice. Get good,” Jean said and moved a chess piece.

The game was as good as over.

Fabio groaned in frustration. If only he had run away sooner!

Neera could not help but chuckle. She was surprised to see that side of Jean’s personality.

Nettie, Fabio’s assistant, was already laughing as well.

Seeing her employer’s frustration, she said, “Ms. Garcia, why don’t I bring you to try out the gown? The annual gala is in two days. We can’t afford to waste any time!”

“Go then,” Jean said and nodded. “You can use the guest room upstairs.”

Nettie nodded and led Neera upstairs.

Fabio only brought one gown this time. It had many embroidered designs, including a phoenix made of thread of many colors and surrounded by a dazzling array of gemstones. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Neera was stunned when she saw that. “This gown… is beautiful.”

Nettie smiled and replied, “Of course! Mr. Lopez spent an entire year on this gown. All the embroidered design are done by hand, thread by thread. It was supposed to take another month to complete, but the team burned midnight oil to complete it before the gala. To be honest, Mr. Lopez thought he would never find anyone suitable to wear the gown, but after he met you, he thought that you were the one.

Many of the details on the gown are specifically tailored for you.”

“Thank you for your hard work,” Neera said. She didn’t expect Fabio to put so much effort into one gown.

Nettie waved her hand d said, “Don’t mention it. You should thank Mr. Beauvort instead. He’s the one who insisted on making a custom gown for you. That’s why Mr. Lopez spared no expense in making it perfect. I guess Mr. Beauvort care

for you a lot!”
