Ella's phone is ringing What's up?
rolls eyes Don't worry about me. I'm always busy. dismissively hangs up the phone
HappyRomance
Uhm okay.
sighs heavily Look, I didn't come here to make friends or waste time. I have a career to focus on.
HappyRomance
Yeah I know, I came here for work too.
narrows her eyes Work, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to be in the market for some new talent. What can you do?
HappyRomance
I am a designer, I can also do modeling, I have skills in photography too
leans back, crossing her arms Impressive. But why work with a rookie like you? I have top-notch designers and models already. What's in it for me?
HappyRomance
Because I can help your work grow, I know a lot of people in the industry and you are just one person, you work alone, I have a team behind me.
smirks Well, well, well, look who finally caught up. Teamwork, huh? That's cute. But let's not forget who the boss is here.
HappyRomance
Yeah sure, go ahead
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? You think you can just waltz in here and offer your services without any benefits? Well, guess what?
HappyRomance
What?
smirks I've changed my mind. I'll work with you, but only if you agree to become my personal assistant.
HappyRomance
Sure, no problem
stands up and walks towards the edge of the yacht Alright, let's get started then. We have a runway show to prepare for, and I expect nothing less than perfection.
HappyRomance
I follow her

HappyRomance
I show her my designs
flips through the designs, nodding occasionally Hmmm... Not bad. Definitely has potential. pauses But we need something more... edgy.
HappyRomance
Okay, do you have any specific ideas in mind?
leans forward, eyes gleaming Absolutely. I'm thinking bold, daring, and unforgettable. We need to make a statement.
HappyRomance
Okay, how about this? This is a new design I am working on.
snatches the design from HappyRomance's hand Interesting... studies it closely
HappyRomance
You like it?
narrows her eyes Like it? No, I love it. This is exactly the kind of edgy, daring look I was talking about. pauses
HappyRomance
So, what's next? Do we start planning the runway show?
puts her notebook away and stands up Next, we find a model to showcase your designs. I know just the person. pulls out her phone and dials a number
HappyRomance

sighs heavily Meet her later? No, no, no. We're not wasting any time. grabs her keys and heads towards the door We're going to meet Karol now.
HappyRomance
I follow her

HappyRomance

On their way to meet Karol, Ella gets into a minor car accident
HappyRomance
Are you okay?
frustratedly Of course I'm not okay! Can't you see that idiot cut me off? bangs her fist against the steering wheel
HappyRomance
Hey, calm down. It's not worth getting stressed over.
rolls her eyes Not worth getting stressed over? Are you kidding me?
HappyRomance
No, I'm saying we should focus on fixing this rather than getting angry
huffs Fine, if you think you can handle it, go ahead and call Karol. But don't expect me to be thrilled about this little delay.
HappyRomance
I call karol
checks her phone Great, Karol's agency is about 15 minutes away. Let's go, we can't afford any more delays. starts the car and drives off
HappyRomance
