Marnie didn’t hear from Eli the next day, but she was far too busy to think much about it, because Olivia had a dress crisis. As in, she absolutely despised the dress she’d commissioned from the new hot designer Ming Xioong. Ming had made the dress based on Olivia’s exact specifications, and Ming had delivered. Marnie thought the gown was gorgeous.

“It looks like a potato sack!” Olivia wailed over the phone.

“But Olivia,” Marnie tried, “she hand-sewed it. And she embroidered it.”

“I don’t care if she picked the silk and spun it. It’s horrible and I am not paying twenty thousand dollars for that rag.”

For starters, Marnie didn’t think that you picked silk, but she set up an emergency meeting with Ming for the very next day, which she managed to squeeze in between her emergency meeting about the reception pavilion and the emergency phone conference about the antique altar Olivia now wanted.

Together, Ming and Marnie convinced Olivia to at least try on the dress. Olivia tried it on, stood up on the little platform before three floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and cried.

“You can’t see it?” Olivia demanded tearfully when Marnie asked her what was wrong with it.

“I swear to God, I don’t see anything,” Marnie said. “You look absolutely gorgeous.”

“No, I don’t! Just look at this,” she wailed, gesturing lamely at her chest.

Ming and Marnie looked at her boobs, then at one another. Suddenly, everything was clear. “So…you don’t like the bodice?” Marnie asked carefully.

“Would you?” Olivia snapped.

The problem was that Olivia was less than well-endowed in the chest area, and Marnie wondered, with all her freakin’ money, why Olivia hadn’t gotten on the breast-enhancement bandwagon like the rest of LA But she hadn’t, and the result was a bodice that didn’t hang exactly right. It had nothing to hang from.

“I see this all the time,” Ming said knowingly. She disappeared into another room, and then reappeared with a padded push-up bra. “Put this on,” she said to Olivia.

“I am not going to wear artificial enhancements,” Olivia said stiffly.

“You can have one or the other,” Ming said matter-of-factly. “If you wear the push-up, I can make some adjustments and you will look beautiful. If you don’t want enhancements, then this is the best I can do, and you still owe me twenty thousand dollars.”

Olivia looked at Marnie. Marnie mouthed, Wear the push-up.

“Fine,” Olivia huffed, and stepped off the podium, snatched the bra from Ming’s hand, and went into the dressing room.

She reappeared a few minutes later and looked as if she was seeing the gown for the first time. She beamed at her reflection in the three-way mirror. “This is so much better,” she said, as if she had thought of the bra herself, and caught Marnie frowning at her. “You just don’t understand how stressful this all is, Marnie.”

Actually, Marnie thought she had a pretty good idea of how stressful it was.

Olivia turned one way, then the other, admiring herself. “Wow. I look fantastic. I love wedding gowns. They’re so beautiful.
