wedding bells and second chances

you

"Hawkly, this is Clarabelle. You guys haven't seen each other's sins. Hawkly went to university with Knox". "You guys missed every occasion where the other one was, so you don't know how much the other one changed since high school," she added. I blink twice in surprise. The boy who has been torturing me since high school has turned into a handsome but arrogant man. "You mean to say to me the brace-faced, four-eyed ugly duckling has changed this much? I don't believe this," he says. "Yes, I changed a lot. I don't wear glasses anymore; I wear contacts. I don't have braces on my teeth anymore; I have perfect teeth now, and I don't have any acne anymore. I meant to get them removed with lasers my last year of high school." "You better believe it, Nou, the VP and the second head designer after Knox," I add. "Since we are all here, let's head to the meeting room. Mia, Mila, and Violet are waiting for us in the meeting room," Knox says. I didn't know they were all here. I was informed that it's only my siblings and me. I guess I was left in the dark because of Hawkly… stupid Hawkly...I took my seat with Knox on one side and Willow on the other side of him since we are the representatives of the company, and Hawkly and his sisters are at the other side of the table, and of course, Mia is sitting next to me since she is my best friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law. "Since all of us are here, let's start the meeting," Knox says. I'm still in the dark. Kensly, Knox's associate, puts a file in front of each of us. I go through it, and I finally understand why I was left in the dark because we are going to do a collaboration with Kingsley Fashion House, and the four head designers are in this room, and the two head designers of us are in the room, and the rest of our design team is in Milan at the moment working with top designers there...Since we're only two, we both have to work on the project, and they can choose between the four of them and how many they want to work with us. I have so much I have to do, and now I have to do a collaboration as well. I have the Bachelorette to organize and the kitchen tea with all the aunts and mothers-in-law, and I have my work as a designer and the VP's work as well. The twins are helping me with the wedding stuff but not the real work stuff. As you know, it's only Clara and me who are available for the collaboration; the other two are in Milan at the moment and won't be back till next year. It's a big contract," Knox says.
