Chapter 755
A Life Debt Repaid
Not wanting to reject him at the expense of her own health, Cordy accepted Lucasâ shirt.
To be honest, it had been a while since she had a good nightâs sleep.
The smell on Lucasâ clothes and pillow that was left in her house had gradually faded, and the quality of her sleep deteriorated along with it. 1 Before Cordy settled herself down for bed, she took a closer look at Lucasâ shirt.
Perhaps due to her designerâs instinct, she wanted to see what shirt could make Lucas care so much about it.
However, just one look was enough for Cordy to recognise it.
She was, of course, familiar with her own works.
This shirt was from high-end luxury under Starstream Group, a limited- edited piece across the globe.
Although this brand belonged to Starstream Group, it was not marketed under the name of the company and thus, its brand direction differed from other brands of the company. That was why many people did not know that the brand belonged to Starstream Group.
âAre you shocked by the beauty of this piece?â Lucas saw Cordy checking out his shirt and said smugly.
Cordy simply ignored him.
âDonât deny it. The clothes from this brand are designed way better than yours.â
Cordy lay on the bed silently.
With the familiar smell on the shirt, she was beginning to feel sleepy.
âWhat, feeling inferior now?â Lucas said proudly.
He wanted to see Cordy concede defeat.
Cordy found Lucas immature to no end.
She turned around with her back facing him, pretending like he did not exist.
âItâs better to admit that there are people better than you, Cordy. Donât always think that youâre superiorâ¦â
âSince when did I say that I was superior?!â Cordy could not believe what she was hearing from him.
âWhatâs more, this piece is past its season. Why are you so smug about it?â
âClassics will never go out of style. Of course, you donât have any such classics under your belt, so youâre just being sour grapes.â
Cordy did not want to respond to Lucas.
All she wanted to do was to sleep.
âStop talking. If you really like this designerâs pieces, Iâll send you her new pieces the moment they launch, whether they are limited-edition pieces or not,â Cordy said with a tinge of annoyance in her voice.
She would take it as compensation for him giving her his shirt.
As this shirt was sullied with streaks of blood because of the accident today, he might not be able to wear it after today.
âDonât be so boastful. Itâs hard to even get your hands on this piece. For limited-edition pieces like this, I had to queue for two months before I could get it. This brand releases only one design per season, limited to only fifty pieces across the globe. Royalty and the bigwigs wouldâve reserved them long ago.â Lucas looked at her in disdain as he went on. âDo you really think you can buy a piece just because you are slightly known in the fashion scene? I had to get Maron to help me buy it. Do you think youâre more influential than he is?!â
âI donât think I am.â
Maron was undeniably the leading designer in the country and renowned even internationally. He was capable of rallying big shots in the industry at a single call.
âSince youâre not, donât be so boastful, lest youâre unable to do it and things will get so awkward between usâ¦â
âIâm the designer,â Cordy said, no longer wanting to speak in riddles with him.
She never intended to tell him that as she did not want to embarrass him, but he was seriously asking for it.
âHuh?â Lucas was completely stunned.
âI said that I was the one who designed this shirt, and the brand belongs to Starstream Group. If you donât believe me, you can ask Maron. I remember this shirt-he said that he had a super fan who wanted to buy it but was just unable to get his hands on it, and he asked me to reserve one piece for the fan no matter what, so I did. If I remember it correctly, this was a new design released last season, right?â
Lucas was speechless.
He had wanted to dent Cordyâs ego and shave off her sharp corners, and he did not want her climbing all over him during this time.
Yet, he did not expect to end up embarrassing himself!
