A spectacular cooking competition was an interesting interlude to the evening banquet. With City Lord Michael and President Geoffrey present, the shop that Spatch had promised naturally belonged to Meg.
Apart from getting a shop, being noticed by the core circle of Chaos City's business circle was also a huge gain for Mag.
Meg was undoubtedly the biggest winner of the evening banquet.
However, all of the merchants who wanted to forge a better relationship with Meg all stopped in their tracks when they saw Meg making his way toward the VIP seats on the side of the Hill.
Compared to the beautiful and wealthy Young Mistress Hill, all of them were middle-aged men with large bellies, so they clearly didn't have anything that could attract Meg's attention.
However, the merchants didn't stop talking to each other because of Meg. The annual mid-year banquet was a gathering for all of the top merchants in Chaos City. Every year, many major deals were struck during the banquet, and countless opportunities could be found during the banquet.
All of the men were busy looking for opportunities to brag about how much their net worth had increased in the past six months.
Meanwhile, the women began to form small cliques, inadvertently showing off which master had made the gemstone rings on their fingers, how much they had paid, or how much they had pulled in order to secure them, thereby drawing envious glances from the crowd.
This was a topic that never went out of style among women, especially women like them who only had to think about how to spend money every day.
"Miss Gloria's dress is so beautiful; it accentuates her figure and her skin so well."
"Indeed. I feel like I'm a celestial maiden in that dress. If I could also get one custom-made, my husband would definitely be unable to take his eyes off of it."
"I wonder which master in Chaos City designed such a beautiful dress; why haven't I heard anything about it?"
Of course, most of the attention was focused on Gloria, who was standing at the center of a group of women. She looked as if she had walked out of a painting, and her blue dress was glowing with a dazzling light, making her the center of everyone's attention.
Gloria was a very prestigious woman, and the origin of her dress was even more of a source of intrigue for all of the women present. They wanted nothing more than to ask her which master tailor had made that dress so that they could get one custom-made before other women.
Gloria was a little nervous with her hands crossed in front of her lower abdomen, but she maintained a faint smile on her face as she spoke to the noblewomen in an elegant and peaceful manner.
"Miss Gloria, your dress is so beautiful. If I may ask, which master tailor made it?" A woman with heavy makeup turned to Gloria with a smile on her face.
As soon as that was said, all of the voices around them became a lot softer. All of the women listened intently, and subconsciously inched closer to Gloria. They were all holding their breaths in fear that they would miss out on a beautiful dress.
Gloria's eyes lit up slightly, and her heart suddenly began to race. Everything she had done today was to attract attention to her dress.
It appeared that her plan had been very successful. All of these wealthy noblewomen had already developed a strong interest in her dress.
Gloria took a glance at the partitioned private room, and a confident smile appeared on her face as she shook her head, and said, "This dress wasn't made by a master tailor. It was made by my Blue Suede."
"Is Miss Gloria your own clothing store?"
"Could it be that this dress was designed by Miss Gloria herself?"
"If that's the case, then why would Miss Gloria sell such a beautiful dress?"
"I'm sure every woman would want to own a dress like this, right?"
All of the women began to whisper among themselves as soon as they heard Gloria's words. They had already planned to contact a master tailor through their connections, but they didn't expect this dress to be made by Gloria's own clothing store.
"This dress is one of the dresses that Suede sells to the public. It's currently in the process of being made," Gloria said with a smile.
All of the women's eyes lit up. This was great news. If they could buy something with money, then it wouldn't be a problem.
"However, Suede doesn't provide customization services. They do provide a selection of dresses of different sizes. Also, only one dress of each color will be produced, so there won't be any clashing," Gloria continued.
"If it can't be custom-made … then it won't fit?"
"If only one dress of each color is produced, then even if the design is the same, it won't be awkward to wear the same dress to a party."
"Miss Gloria's own store is really different. I feel like it completely overturns the rules of other tailors' stores."
All of the women began to whisper among themselves.
"Miss Gloria, where is your clothing store located? I want to go take a look tomorrow morning, "the woman who had asked the question asked with a smile.
All of the other women were also looking at Gloria with concern in their eyes.
"Suede is located in store number eight from the entrance of the Aden Square. It should be easy to find from the signboard," Gloria said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll be sure to go take a look tomorrow morning," the woman said with a smile.
"Big Sister, you have to wait for me tomorrow. We'll go take a look together," her friend chimed in.
All of the other women didn't say anything, but their expressions indicated that they weren't completely unmoved. Instead, they were all thinking about how to get a beautiful dress before everyone else.
A faint smile still hung on Gloria's face, and she didn't seem to be affected by the women's enthusiasm at all. Her hands were tightly clasped together.
At the same time, in the partitioned VIP seats, Mag was swirling the crystal glass in his hand gently. The red wine rippled in the amber glass. Mag was a little dazed. Such fine wine seemed to lose its luster if he didn't pour it into a goblet. Although the crystal glass was expensive, it couldn't compare to the elegance of a goblet.
"Mr. Mag, what do you think of the matter that I mentioned?" Hill sat across from Meg and took a sip of wine. The vibrant red wine made her lips even redder, and they appeared especially alluring under the dim yellow light.
"I'm sorry, Miss Hill, but I don't plan on joining the Aden Chamber of Commerce. Some of the rules of the Aden Chamber of Commerce go against the principles and ideals that I've always adhered to." Meg gently placed the wine glass in his hand on the table, and shook his head as he looked at Hill.
This girl was indeed very beautiful. She was like a vibrant red rose, but with thorns.
