Emily wanted Jack to look his absolute best when he appeared before Wilhelmina. It was what he deserved for being the best, after all.
When they entered the studio, the owner, Carson Benedia, came out to personally greet them. Although he had gotten used to attending reputable figures, he was aware that a client such as Emily was leagues above the other customers he had served. He knew that he had to tread carefully, he didn't want to accidentally offend her.
Carson personally took Jack's measurements while the other staff of the studio swiftly surrounded Jack to serve him. Some were holding scissors while some were holding rulers. There was also a staff member who was in charge of noting down Jack's heights and the circumference of his chest, waist, and hips.
The whole studio busied themselves with servicing Jack, allowing him to experience once more the lavish lifestyle of a capitalist. The simple lifestyle he led in the past paled in comparison. Even though he possessed assets that were worth over 10 billion dollars, he lived a life that was even less luxurious than a low-level manager.
The staff who was in charge of measuring his chest, waist, and hips was a woman with a pretty face. Her cheeks were flushed the entire time as she took his measurements, making it obvious that she was attracted to Jack's attractive figure.
After she was done taking Jack's measurements, she shook her head and said to Emily, "Mrs. Lycan, your son's figure is flawless! We'll have no issues with designing any outfits for him."
Satisfied with the woman's praise, Emily nodded. She said, "I want 10 sets of new clothes for him by tomorrow morning. Can you deliver them to us before then?"
It appeared that having Jack and Wilhelmina meet in person had been a part of her plan all along since she had already selected the fabrics and designs of the clothes.
Carson nodded his head vigorously. "Rest assured, Mrs. Lycan. We've already made preparations beforehand. There won't be any issues."
For a high-fashion design studio such as theirs, as long as the client was willing to pay the fee that was requested of them, they would be willing to fulfill any and all requests that the client had.
Elias was all smiles as he approached Jack and pulled him into a hug. "Jack, I was hoping that you would show up! I don't care what else happens tonight, but you have to drink a few rounds with me!"
Jack was also smiling as he replied, "You're being too humble, Elias. I'm the one who should be honored for receiving an invitation from you."
Elias waved his words away. "There's no need for such courtesy between the two of us. Both of us will be as thick as thieves from this day forth! Here, let me introduce you to my friends. We can gather together again in the future when everyone is free."
Elias proceeded to introduce Jack to the group of men that surrounded them. At first, they were rather confused as to why Elias was attending to Jack with such enthusiasm.
But after discovering that he was the heir of the Lycan family, they were stunned speechless. The common folk might not be aware, but they knew that the Lycans were the ones who were running the show behind the scenes in Tarthy City.
