Kat chuckled as she tousled Amey's hair, her petite frame making the gesture feel comforting and familiar. "I'll be there, Amey. Don't worry. Just try not to get too drunk and pass out like every time," she teased with a playful smile.
Hanna shoot Kat a side glace ''hmm speak for yourself'' she commented and Kat smiled sheepishly. "I've prepared a dress for you. Everything's ready in your dressing room." Hanna continued glancing at her watch, she added, "The makeup artist will be with you shortly. We have about two hours to arrive at Essence."
Kat sighed appreciatively. "Thanks, Hanna. I'll go get ready now," she said, waving as she walked away from the trio.
As Kat disappeared from view, Amey turned to Hanna with a concerned expression. "Are you sure you're not overworking her?"
"I have to agree with Amey. Kat's been stretched thin lately," Alex chimed in.
Hanna's expression softened as she explained, "It's not what you think. Kat insisted on cramming all her schedule into this week. Well she's planning a two-month vacation. She wants to get everything on her schedule done before she leaves. you know how she is when she decides to do something"
Amey and Alex exchanged understanding glances, realizing the reason behind Kat's hectic schedule. "Oh, I see," Amey said, nodding in comprehension.

Author's note:
Though the novel doesn't seem like an historical romance novel, please just give it a chance.
It's a slow burn book and would take a while for the plot to kick in.
