Mishka was happy that the secret camera was successfully installed on a shelf in the nursery.
"Gillian will be excited to see the first recordings, but will I be ready to see something strange about my Grandma? Won't it make me afraid of her when I'm supposed to be bolder towards her?" Mishka asked herself.
Aunt Joan felt that my Grandma could be really dangerous and my Grandma herself has been very obsessed with this show about witches on TV. Am I perhaps living in a dream world instead of being aware of what's really happening around me?" she wondered.
"Anyway, I have to get ready for going to meet my colleagues outside Bruce's mansion," she told herself excitedly.
"It was wonderful to be there and quite a thrill to dance with Bruce incognito. I wonder if I shouldn't do that again?" she asked herself.
"Dancing with a mask on is really amazing and Bruce had no idea that it was me," Mishka told herself as she dressed into casual jeans and a sweater for the Saturday mid-morning trip to go and watch a fashion prelude at Bruce's place.
There was no time for breakfast because she had slept late, as she usually did on Saturday mornings. Her grandmother allowed her that privilege at least.
"There should be plenty of snacks to eat at the show," Mishka told herself.
As Mishka drove to Bruce's place she wondered whether the clan members were still there.
"I wonder whether Josh and Gretchen know that Bruce is a member of a wolf clan? Do they know anything about werewolves at all?" Mishka asked herself. She felt that the two young colleagues of hers were perhaps too naïve to know that there was perhaps something more behind Bruce's exceptional success.
"But then, until a short while ago, I myself was not aware of these situations which were right under my own nose, in my own neighbourhood," Mishka told herself as she drove on.
Josh and Gretchen were not outside the gates of the mansion yet when Mishka arrived.
"Let me wait for them," she told herself.
She looked at the impressive building and felt tempted to take a photo of it.
"I wonder if it will be allowed? Maybe there's someone watching out there and they will come rushing out to give me a stern warning if I try to take a photo. Rather wait until I get permission," she told herself, just as a vehicle pulled up behind her.
"Alright, that can be Josh and Gretchen," Mishka told herself excitedly. She was not even thinking about it being someone else.
"I actually only told Aunty Joan that I'm coming here. Nobody else knows besides these two. Let's hope that nothing goes wrong," Mishka told herself as she reached out her hand and waved through her open window.
The other vehicle then drove past her and towards the gate where they pressed a button for the intercom.
When they drove in through the opened gates, Josh waved at Mishka to follow them.
"My second time here. Let's hope that it's gonna be as much fun, especially since I'm meeting Bruce here officially today," Mishka told herself.
"I wonder what he's going to say when he sees me," she asked herself, suddenly feeling nervous.
"How will he feel when I tell him that I was already here but was hiding behind a mask?" she wondered.
"I hope that he has a good sense of humor," Mishka told herself as she got out of the car to greet Josh and Gretchen.
"Good morning, guys. Nice to see you away from the stiff office atmosphere," Mishka remarked with a smile.
"Good morning. Oh, yes it's great for a change," Gretchen responded. Josh smiled broadly in agreement.
"I hope we can spend enough time with the models," Gretchen remarked as they walked toward the front door where a butler was already awaiting them.
Josh was carrying a sophisticated new video camera which was manufactured by Mishka's father's company. Josh was going to use it to record high quality videos of the show. These would later be mixed with music to make for some spectacular viewing entertainment. Gretchen would be his assistant and Mishka would be representing her father's company.
"I would also love to spend time with the models ever since I met Elle," Mishka responded.
Josh and Gretchen had not been upset when she had explained to them that she had received an unexpected invitation to go to the mansion earlier in the week already.
"They either have a good sense of humor each or they're just afraid of upsetting the boss' daughter," Mishka had told herself after explaining the situation to them at the office on the day after she had spent the evening at Bruce's place.
"The models are also looking forward to seeing us," Josh commented as he entered the double doors.
"Good morning," he greeted the butler before going in.
"Welcome," the butler said as he waved the three of them in.
Mishka felt even more special than she had when she had entered the mansion with Freddy because she was better prepared today.
"Thank you," she responded as she walked into the impressive entrance hall. She could already hear music not too far away.
Her phone rang as they walked into the hallway. The butler was accompanying them to show them where the ramp show was being held.
"Oh, goodness, Gillian!" Mishka exclaimed inwardly when she noticed who was calling.
She had told Gillian that she was going to the office in the morning for some extra work today. So, why was she phoning now?
"Hi, Gillian, I'm in the middle of something now. Can I call you back later?" Mishka answered quickly.
"Okay, don't forget," Gillian responded on the other end of the line.
They walked into a hall where the music was now very loud. Mishka held her breath as she walked in with her two companions.
She noticed someone standing with his back to them, directing some models onto the ramp. He turned around when he sensed that there were new people entering the hall.
Mishka stood still as she waited for him to turn around, but, instead of Bruce, she saw his companion of the other night.
"Oh, a clan member? Where is the designer then?" Mishka asked herself inwardly as a feeling of disappointment flowed through her.
"Oh, here you are! Our technical team for the day!" Lyle exclaimed above the sound of the music.
"Welcome!" he said again, as he gave them each a firm handshake.
"I'm Bruce's cousin and I will be standing in for him while he attends to a small emergency in the city," Lyle announced with a broad smile on his face.
"Oh, so Bruce has a cousin here. That means that he's one of the family members from England!" Mishka told herself as she stared at Lyle.
