Chapter 99: Dinner With Your Husband
Lyse was still reeling from the recent events. Finding out that Jean Pierre had died in police custody had come as a shock. The official report had been cited as heart failure and even though his medical report stated that he had no history of the disease, the police were not trying to investigate further.
Lyse could tell that Levi felt that the death was not as clear cut as the police evidence suggested but when she tried to talk about it, he waved it aside.
She was grateful for the fact that somehow, the media had no knowledge about what had happened with her and Jean Pierre, and Lyse knew that Levi was responsible for that. He had been a constant source of support. He had reassured her, calmed her fears, and now, he was taking matters into his own hands.
"I have arranged a private showcase for your designs," Levi announced, a determined glint in his eyes. "We are going to present your collection to a select group of influential buyers and fashion editors."
Lyse was stunned. "But how? How did you pull this off so quickly?"
"I have been working without your knowledge and your assistant has also been assisting," Levi explained. "She has been a great help. All you have to do is show up and look fabulous."
"You did not have to do that." Lyse said, her voice soft.
"If anything happened to you while you are in my care I would not be able to take it." Levi said as he looked into her eyes.
Lyse was overwhelmed with gratitude. She had never imagined that Levi would go to such lengths to help her. "Thank you so much, Levi," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "You have done so much for me."
