Nicolas had not stayed for the after-party. He had known that Valentina would be there. He wondered why she was pestering him now, after all these years. She had been wearing the dress he had gifted her for their wedding. She had not wanted it then; she had thought that it was trash. His lips twisted. Now that trash would probably go for millions if people knew he was the mind behind it.
Jean had not been happy with him for leaving. Few people were happy with him for leaving the after-party. Not that it did any damage. The show had been a hit. Tanya had done well with her opening. The dresses were all taken at higher prices than any show ever. What woman did not want to be a goddess?
