NovelEnglishAfter that dinner outing, Cynthia had started calling Flora by a different name.
Was it really so surprising that Rafael would call Flora, know people from the Rose Design Team, and even get them to make their dance costumes? Flora was just too low-key for them to realize how amazing she really was.
"I'm just being cautious and asking," the girl who had spoken earlier said sheepishly. After all the hard training they'd put in, they didn't want it all to be ruined by the costumes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCynthia and the others were eagerly waiting for the dance costumes to arrive. They were so distracted they could hardly focus on their training anymore.
Finally, the day Flora had mentioned arrived. All the boys and girls participating in the welcparty were getting antsy. The thought of wearing outfits designed by the Rose Design Team felt like a dream! After morning classes finally ended, everyone headed to lunch. Flora checked her phone and said to Eilies and Cynthia, "You guys go ahead and eat. The costumes are here; I'll go grab them from the school gate." Eilies and Cynthia perked up immediately. The costumes were here! "We'll go with you!" they exclaimed in unison.
Flora gave them a quick glance and nodded. If they wanted to calong, that was fine; there was a lot to carry, and they could help out.
Outside the University of Maple Grove gates, Howell was already waiting. As soon as he saw Flora, he walked up to her.
"Where's the stuff?" "In the car," Howell replied. "It's lunchtime. How about we find a place to eat? It's been a while since we all hung out." Flora looked at Eilies and Cynthia to see what they thought. The two nodded in agreement, almost as if they had rehearsed it. Howell was the picture of a gentleman, very approachable. Who wouldn't want to have lunch with a top-tier handsguy? Howell chose a cozy Italian restaurant. "Don't be shy, order whatever you like," he said, handing the menu to Eilies and Cynthia with a friendly and gentle tone. He was usually reserved with strangers, but he was warmer towards Flora's friends by association.
While waiting for their food, Howell chatted with Flora. Mostly, he talked, and Flora gave the occasional response. He discussed specialized fashion design topics that went over Eilies and Cynthia's heads. Cynthia had a hunch that Flora's acquaintances were anything but ordinary. Definitely big shots.
She quietly searched 'Howell' on her phone, quickly finding a Wikipedia page and photos. Howell, Chief Designer of the Rose Design Team, World Fashion Competition Champion... His achievements filled an entire page on Wikipedia.
Cynthia was stunned. She took screenshots and sent them to Eilies, who looked equally shocked after seeing them. The Chief Designer of the Rose Design Team had personally delivered their dance costumes and even took them out for lunch...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEilies put away her phone and tried to maintain a calm expression. They had to stay composed; being around such influential people meant getting used to it.
After lunch, Howell went to his car to get the dance costumes. The box was almost as tall as a person Flora as a was about to take it, but Eilies and Cynthia were quicker, grabbing the box and lifting it together. No way were they going to let a VIP do the heavy lifting!
"I've drafted the new design sketches and sent them to your email. Make sure you check them out," Howell ET said. "Sure," Flora responded lazily.
"Flora, you know about fashion design too?" Cynthia asked quietly as they walked back into the school, Howell no longer with them. RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
