“Huh?!” | was so shocked that my face turned completely red from embarrassment.

“Oh! Yes!” | quickly composed myself and put my hand down. “I just wanted to ask for your bank details. I'd like
to return 9,500,000 dollars to help pay off sof my debt”
Soren was surprised. “Where did you get that much money?
“I sold all my shares in my father’s company for 8,000,000 dollars, and | have ssavings left,” | replied.
“l wasn’t expecting you to gather that much money so quickly, to be honest.”

bonus.”
Soren chuckled, a hint of helplessness in his tone. “I feel like you're trying to settle your debt just so you won't

chance to schedule a fitting,” | replied, beaming.
“Haven't you had a lot of orders to fulfill lately?” He sounded worried.
“I'm not handling all of them on my own. Once I'm done with Soleil's dress, I'll be working on yours.”
“But you still have a company to run...”
“I've got that covered. | recently hired a good manager, so now I'm mostly focused on my own work, aside from
