Marc smiled faintly. “Yes.”

Satisfied, Clarissa touched her waist and turned to the designer beside her. “It’s a tad loose here and doesn’t show off my figure. Can you tighten it?”

Marc frowned, his gaze cooling. Her words sounded unpleasant to him. He wondered, ‘What will Pearl look like in this wedding dress?‘
