After Elena left, she felt relieved and immediately started preparing for her upcoming design exhibition.
The event would showcase not only custom design drafts but also exclusive, never-before-seen gowns. Tickets had already sold out before the exhibition even began.
While the event and her studio operations were running smoothly, she urgently needed Felix's investment. Without it, she lacked sufficient funds for operations and promotion.
Elena decided to email Felix as Alice, her designer alias. Her tone was subtle, but anyone sharp enough could easily read between the lines: the studio needed its sponsor to send money.
To her surprise, Felix's reply was a single, cold question:
"You haven't resolved the studio's issues completely, and you expect me to invest?"
