A few hours later. Julian woke up from a short three–hour nap at the hotel. The first thing he did was call in a fashion stylist
The stylist worked for one of Frost Group’s high–end clothing brands, but he never imagined the day would come when the big boss himself would summon him.
“Noah, do you know why Mr. Frost wants to see me?” he asked, looking nervous. He’d never met Julian in person, but he knew Noah–everyone in Metroville’s business world did.
“Don’t look at me, man. I’m just as clueless as you are, Noah replied, shrugging. Honestly, he was stumped too. Julian always wore custom–tailored suits. Never once had he needed help from a stylist.
Just then. Julian walked in, and the stylist immediately tensed up. He wasn’t used to being around this kind of
pressure.
Noah immediately handed Julian a cup of black coffee–just how he liked it. Julian took a sip and waved a hand. “I need a new look. I’m meeting someone important.”
“Yes, sir.” the stylist said, still trying to wrap his head around what was happening. Julian’s wardrobe was full of handcrafted and elite–level stuff. Their brand catered to professionals, sure, but this was a whole other league.
Noah couldn’t help but think, ‘Man, Luna’s really got Mr. Frost wrapped around her finger. I’ve worked for him for over twenty years. Never seen him go this far. He’s already got movie–star looks, and every suit he owns is probably worth a car.
“And now, he’s hiring a stylist like it’s prom night. Guess love really does make men do crazy stuff.
Julian glanced up and said, “Alright, get things ready.” After that, he picked up the newspaper beside him. He flipped through the pages, scanning international financial news. But strangely enough, he soon stopped reading and just sat there, spacing out.
Noah noticed that and shook his head, thinking, ‘Geeze, if the Frosts find out about Luna, who knows what kind of storm that’ll stir up
Noah had already prepared several suits in advance. Now, with the stylist here, it was mostly about mixing and matching to find the perfect combo. After a quick shower, Julian got changed and even let the stylist touch up his look.
“Noah, do I look like I’m trying too hard?” Julian asked, glancing at his reflection.
“Of course not, Noah said with a smile. “Ms. Blackwood’s gonna love how you look. In Noah’s eyes, his boss was good–looking enough. After some careful effort, he looked more attractive now. He was sure no woman could move their eyes from Julian.
Julian nodded, finally satisfied. He was full of confidence as he made his way to meet Luna. This was the first time in three years he’d seen her face to face, and he wasn’t taking any chances.
But when he finally showed up in front of Luna, the way she looked at him was completely blank, without a flicker of recognition.

Luna took Ethan out to grab KFC. Since Sophia was always busy, it was a rare treat for him to eat out. He was bouncing with excitement, like any little boy would be.
Julian didn’t want to seem too obvious, so he casually walked past Luna, hoping she’d notice. But Luna didn’t even glance at him.
Julian thought Luna just didn’t see him, so he gave it another shot–walking by again, more slowly this time. Luna did look his way, but it was like she was looking at a total stranger.
