Grace walked into Ai Fei's studio accompanied by her assistant Robbie. When they came in, Mr. Moss was trying on the clothes he had just made: "Well... Ike, I have to say that my money was not wasted. Thank you very much for your work."

“It’s better to thank my tailors rather than thank me for my work.”

"I agree! You are just a designer who can't cut and should give these words of thanks to tailors, including Miss Bourne."

As the two of them were talking, Grace and her assistant walked in at the studio door, looking around, the lady's eyebrows immediately frowned: She came to New York this time to shoot the movie, and when she came to his studio, she was just walking around and had no goal, but the messy venue in the studio made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too traced, so she had to pretend to be interested and look in the studio.

Ai Fei just thought the girl was familiar - the last time the two met was in Wallace's office, but at that time he focused on Cocoa? Chanel was not very careful about Grace, although he had designed a costume for her on-site: "Welcome, is there anything I can serve you?"

Before Grace could speak, Mr. Moss stood up: "Miss Kelly? Is it you?"

"Ah, Mr. Moss? It's great to see you." Grace didn't expect to meet Moss here, and walked over and touched the old man with a smile: "Long time no see, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Thank you." Moss looked at her close-up and said, "Why, did you also go to Mr. Ike's studio to ask him to customize his clothes?"

"Uh..." Kelly suddenly realized. When she first met, she just felt that this Asian person looked familiar. After his reminder, she remembered that he was the designer he had met somewhere? The lady felt a little embarrassed: "Hello."

"Hello."

"Oh, let me introduce it officially. Ike, this is Grace Kelly, Miss Grace, Grace, this is Mr. Ike, a fashion designer from Japan."

Ai Fei also had some impression: Grace? Kelly? Wasn't it the Hollywood actress who married the Prince of Morocco? Looking closely, I also exclaimed in my heart: No wonder I can get the cherishment of His Highness the Prince, it is indeed stunning and enchanting!

Kelly reached out her hand openly: "Mr. Ike, I'm glad to know you."

"My honor." Ai Fei shook her hands: "So, is there anything I can serve you?"

When Kelly came in at first, she never thought about booking a costume. She couldn't refuse after hearing what he said: "I think it's OK?"

"Of course. Please feel free to do it."

Kelly walked around the studio alone, but it was just that coincidence that her eyes were soon attracted by a red dress hanging on the hanger: the overall red dress emitted a faint light in the sun, and the satin-like texture looked so soft and tender. When she walked over and spread it with her hands, a large space on her chest that bloomed like a chrysanthemum petals could show her white skin, right?

I reached out and took it off, looking at the mirror with my body. Well, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it: "Mr. Ike?"

Ai Fei was chatting with Mr. Moss, and immediately turned around and was startled: "Miss Kelly? Do you like this dress?"

"I want to try it on, do you have a fitting room here?"

Ai Fei really disliked Grace's arrogant attitude: Do you know if this dress has a owner and you want to try it on? His face also became a little gloomy: "Sorry, Miss Kelly, this dress is tailor-made for others. I think if you like its style, you can leave your size and I will make another one for you."

Grace was just a little straightforward by nature, but she didn't deliberately act like a arrogant attitude. She sighed disappointed when she heard this: "That's it? Then forget it."

"Uh... If you want, I have some other drawings for clothing designs, of course, just some drawings, but if you choose the clothing you like, as long as you leave your size, we will make it for you in the shortest time."

"Is that OK?" Grace became happy again: "Can you show me?"

"Of course." Ai Fei found a few drawings at his desk and handed them to her: "You can sit down and choose slowly."

"No, no need." Grace browsed quickly: "Can I choose all of them?"

Ai Fei almost shouted happily: "Of course, it's totally OK. Monica?"

Monica had heard their conversation long ago and walked up to her with a smile: "Miss Kelly? Please here."

After measuring Grace's physical data and putting down the drawings of the clothing she needed, the two girls came over again: "Thank you, Mr. Ike. Do I need to pay a part of the deposit in advance?"

"Sorry, Miss Kelly, the Ike Studios rules to pay the full amount before production."

"How can this be done?" the assistant who had been silent spoke: "Miss Kelly always pays only a part of the deposit in advance when customizing clothes."

"……………” Ai Fei didn't say anything, just looked at Grace.

"Robbie, this is Mr. Ike's rule. Well, Mr. Ike, please calculate, how much is the total amount of all the money?"

"There are 12 pieces of clothing in total, each one costs vary, the total is US$6,790.34."

Grace roughly calculated that this price was acceptable: "Okay, but I don't carry so much cash around me..."

Ai Fei didn't understand: "Then, we can only wait until you pay all the money before making it."

Grace didn't expect him to be so rigid, so she nodded: "Robbie, can you go to the hotel once for me? Withdraw a portion of the cash or a check as required by Mr. Ike?"

"Yes, ma'am." Robbie glared at him fiercely, turned around and walked out of the studio.

When Robbie left, Ai Fei looked at his watch and it was almost noon: "I think we will have to wait a while before we can see Mr. Robbie again. Mr. Moss, Miss Kelly, can I invite you to lunch?"

Grace was reluctant to go, but didn't know what she was doing during this period, so she had to force herself to nod: "Yes, you can."

"Mr. Moss?"

Moss smiled: "Of course."

So 20 minutes later, the two men and one woman sat in the Monte Carlo restaurant, each holding a menu and choosing: "...Dirishi shrimp frozen, egg tomato salad, moray eel soup, and fried fresh shells with foie gras sauce."

“…French fish rolls, asparagus soup, crab roe live shrimp.”

"…Red stewed meat mixed with mixed meat, curry smoky shrimp segments, French flame pancakes, sweet and sour lettuce, fried lobster meat, tomato thyme cod, baked asparagus, salmon custard, that's it." Ai Fei closed the menu and handed it back to the waiter: "What are you doing? Japanese people are very edible, don't you know?"

Moss smiled slightly, took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Ike?"

Ai Fei took the cigarette: "Miss Kelly, is that OK?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Kelly's eyes and she nodded slowly: "Yes, you can."

No one expected that it was this seemingly random question that completely changed Grace's attitude towards him. Many years later, Grace wrote in her published autobiography: "...it was just starting from this respectful question, her life was full of drama!"

Ai Fei lit the cigarette with the lighter handed over by Mr. Moss, and took a deep breath: "Well, thank you."

"So, Ike, it seems that your work has been full of busyness during this period, is that true?"

"Although I don't want to confuse my life and work, what happened recently is indeed the case." He slowly smoked: "Do you know? The latest time, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when I got home!"

"How could it be so late?"

"Yes. If a Japanese wants to succeed in the United States, the only thing he can do is his own efforts. But I don't want to disappoint anyone, so I can only disappoint myself."

Such words without beginning or end made both of them a little confused: "How do you say this?"

"The lifestyle I hope is that there is a huge industry and many people working for me. What I am responsible for is giving certain guidance in the general direction, and then, enjoying the life of rice insects that I get for nothing..."

"Haha..." The two of them smiled at the same time.

"Isn't it funny? But really, this is my goal." He slapped the cigarette butts in the air and waved it a few times, dispelling the smoke between him and Grace: "It just happened deep in my heart that such a goal was impossible to achieve. So, we can only look for hope in endless disappointment."

"This is the first time I have heard that a young man like you will work on such a life goal as his direction!" Moss smiled: "Miss Kelly? Miss Kelly?"

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Grace moved her eyes away from Ai Fei's face, and her face turned a little red: she never thought that someone could express respect for a lady with such casual and natural actions! Thinking of his casual request just now before smoking, it seemed that no one had such gentlemanly demeanor? And he was still a Japanese?

This discovery made her more interested in him: "Mr. Ike, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, of course."

"Why do you ask customers to pay all the money before booking their clothing? Don't you know New York...I mean, even clothing customizations across the United States will only be collected when delivery?"

"I think this is just a matter of personal habits. I am still willing to receive the money first and then pay the corresponding service or product." He explained a few words lightly: "Oh, our food is here."
