Chapter 130

• Author's POV
• The sun had barely begun to rise when the Shaw estate began to stir. For days, the preparation for Australia had consumed every corner of the business and personal circle around Claire Von Augsburg and Margeaux. The tension, though not visible, simmered beneath every step they took—between tight schedules, final fittings, portfolio additions, and cross-continental logistics.
• Claire had barely finished her tea when her phone buzzed again. Another email. Another draft for approval. Her mind spun, but she couldn’t stop. This was her big break. Australia wasn’t just a business trip—it was the first international launch that could solidify her name in the global fashion circuit. And thanks to Mr. Yoshida’s sharp eye and quick decision-making, Margeaux had been named her official assistant.
