"You're ahead of schedule with your designs." Mr. Foster stands next to me as we look at the design board I created for Ella Kara's launch. "You only have two open spots, Sophia. I'm tempted to suggest we expand the line to four more pieces, but that's pressure I'm not sure you can handle."

Apparently, the man doesn't know me very well. "I have six more in mind."

"Six?" He steps toward the white board. "Tell me about them."

"I can do better than that." I reach for my sketchpad. "I've already chosen the fabrics. I've attached a swatch to each page and you can see the notes at the bottom that explain the accessories I feel would best complement the core design elements of the pieces."

He takes the pad from my hands and skims through the pages I've dog-eared. "This is your best work to date. Are you confident you can get these completed by launch?"

I'm certain I can have them all complete by two weeks before launch, but I don't allow my cockiness to shine through. "I can, sir."

"Move ahead on this." He hands me back my sketchpad. "I'll have Sasha assign you another two assistants."

I can use the help. I'm grateful for it too. "I'll work hard on getting these done as soon as possible, sir."

"Good." He turns to face me. "I understand that you're seeing Nicholas again."

"I am." I busy myself with the piece of fabric that's currently taking up more than half of my workstation. I'll be transforming into a strapless dress. "We've been hanging out."

"Isla would like to have you both over for dinner next week if that works for you two."

It's our first official invitation as a couple. I can't help but smile. "I'll ask Nicholas when I see him. Do you have a particular evening in mind for that?"

"Wednesday," he says without hesitation.

I know the offer has a lot more to do with Nicholas than me. Mr. Foster has never invited me anywhere, but to the party he hosted to celebrate the upcoming launch of Ella Kara.

I know that they view me as the most direct path to spend time with their favorite author. I don't mind. I like the idea of socializing with the Fosters outside of work hours.

"I'll check with Nicholas and let you know."

"I look forward to getting to know you both better, Sophia."

I look forward to the look on Nicholas's face when he realizes that Isla Foster is an even bigger fan of his than her husband.
