When I was at work, Alanie was sitting at the desk I had set up for her in my office. She glanced at me. "What do you think of this?" She gave me a photo of a dress with a fabric that formed an x at the back of the garment.
Due to the dress, a portion of your back will be exposed.
Alanie and I have always been on opposing ends of the spectrum regarding clothing. This particular garment is different from the kind of dress that I would wear.
If I tell her that it is flawless, it will be evident that I am lying. She will be furious even if I tell her that I don't like her.
I am currently in a pointless circumstance.
My throat is cleared out. I enjoy the dress design, and although the x in the back isn't something I would wear, I think it would be a great choice for people who aren't afraid to show their sexuality. What color do you have in mind for the dress you will make?
When I see a smile grow across her face, I know I have communicated something she finds meaningful. "Red, black, white, purple and blue " sprang to my mind. Please recommend a bag that looks great with your dress.
My head nods. Quite a few of my items are versatile enough to be worn with anything. As soon as the line arrives, we will look at the items that require matching.
"Do you think we should model our line?"
Yes, I see Zinnia as I peer out the door. "No," I say. "Our bosses would do a better job."
When Zinnia enters the room, she immediately turns her gaze to Alanie. "Have you finished?"
Alanie does so to close the folder. "Yes," she responds to Zinnia about it.
Could you take a peek at me, Zinnia? "Seraphina and I would like you to be there from nine to two Monday through Friday. Please continue to work full-time for us as a model and photographer. As soon as Melvin begins his shift, you will accompany him to the set and snap his shots. We trust you to handle the men's line while you work on the set.
As I rise, I hug her. "Thanks, Zinnia."
She flashes a grin. When it comes to all that has been coming your way, Katherine, you have earned it. At this point, my sister and I are completely on Katherine's side. "I am looking forward to discovering what else you have been concealing from us," I said. Zinnia receives the focus of her attention. "We would like to see you in the office Monday through Friday from 9 to 12 for your photo shoot and designs."
"Thanks," Alanie is beaming with a broad grin.
The superiors were also successful in making her pleased.
She makes this statement just before Zinnia leaves the room. A party is going to be held at my residence this next weekend. It is time for Seraphina to make a public declaration. Her head is shaken in shock. "I don't know why she couldn't have made it last weekend when we had a party there."
I chuckle to myself. "We had a launch party," she said. I believe that the debut of Miller Fashion's faces would have been more impressive than this announcement, regardless of what it may be.
It's a sigh. You are likely correct. What are your thoughts on what she is going to say then?
I chuckle to myself. "I wouldn't be surprised if she's getting married again to Miguel."
She pulls a face. "It was a performance whenever she married him for the first time. She will surpass her previous performance, but this time, she will not only have a maid of honor but also bridesmaids.
I was under the impression that Seraphina would have a large number of people who were interested in joining the bridal party. If she is so familiar with a large number of people, then why didn't she pick some of them?
Zinnia talks to me as if she can read my mind. "Seraphina was aware that other people were using her to be a part of the wedding party, and she detested that. She turned down Miguel's entire family since she knew they desired to be famous, even if only briefly. That is something that Seraphina hates when other people do. It is Alanie and I that she glances at. "She thinks differently when it comes to the two of you."
At that moment, Seraphina enters the room. "That's true." She is looking to us. "Are you two coming to the party on Saturday night?"
I look at my phone and type it into the calendar simultaneously. "Yes," I say. Given that Melvin is starting work on the rom-com, it seems clear he will not be able to make it. "However, Melvin is unable to make it. I have no idea what his shooting schedule will be like because he will be working on the set of his romantic comedy.
"It's acceptable. I will let Miguel tell him the wonderful news. When she raises her finger, I notice a mark, which is where an engagement ring should be.
She removed it.
In contrast to me, Alanie and Zinnia do not take note of it.
This is how my hand typically looks after removing my ring from my finger.
Her eyes widened briefly, and she shook her head at me, indicating that she would like me to refrain from speaking to them.
She plans to break the news to them throughout the weekend.
"Seraphina," I respond to her. "Can we talk in your office?"
She gave a slight nod and led the way to the office. After opening the door to the room, she proceeded to her desk. "Get it over with, Kathy."
I chuckle to myself. "I am not going to compete with you in this. Congratulations on going back to your ex-husband and getting engaged to him.
She sits in her chair as she opens the drawer on her desk. She removes the ring from her finger and then places it back on her finger. "I should have known you'd pick it up quicker than our siblings."
I wear a ring on the very same finger, and when I remove it, it leaves a mark on that finger as well. Let me ask you a question.
"Shoot!"
My throat is cleared out. If you are Seraphina, are you sure that this is what you want? Would you agree that it is too soon for you to get engaged?
Her head is shaken in shock. Then, we were still young. We both had enormous goals that we wanted to achieve, which caused us to become estranged from one another. On this occasion, we have accomplished what we desired, and at this point, we are both looking forward to getting back together and starting a family.
"Are you pregnant?"
Her head is shaken in shock. "Miguel and I are making an effort, so we must disclose that we are engaged. We plan to get married in a few months and have a little ceremony for our family and friends to participate in. A long time ago, we went through the process of having a massive wedding, and it did not go well. Her voice is soft. " Zinnia, I beg you, please don't tell. I want to tell her."
I approach her so that I can hug her. "Your secret is safe with me." Observing the clock on the wall. "I have to go."
The moment I step out of the door, I collide with a wall. As I raise my head, I notice that Miguel is there.
A grin appears on my face as I look at you. "Hello, friend."
It is a laugh. "I supposed my little kitten told you the news?"
My head nods. When I noticed the red mark where her engagement ring was supposed to be, she could not keep it a secret. You will also be responsible for informing Melvin about the news. He is starting to work on that rom-com that evening and cannot make it on Saturday.
The fingers on his hand crack. "Worse!! When do you believe would be the best time to chat with him?
In the future? For him, it is the one day he has off. He is scheduled to participate in a table reading with the actors who are a part of the film on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
"Are you going to tell me the name of the movie?"
I need to familiarize myself with myself. Melvin is adamant about maintaining our privacy.
It is a laugh. "You sound like Melvin," she said. He enjoys keeping everyone in the dark about everything.
"I won't be in the dark when I go on set with him next week."
