60. Can I?
“Morning everyone” he casually greeted and looked at the manikins that had some clothes on them.
“You guys seem to be doing quite well over here, who’s the owner of that one?” He pointed to a female manikin wearing a sleeveless dress.
“It’s mine sir” Skyler slowly raised her hands.
“I like it” he replied and Skyler tried not to smile too much as she thanked him.
“Thank you, sir”
Lilian scoffed secretly and even eyed Skyler behind her back.
“I came to see how you guys are progressing and I’m quite impressed, I hope to see you all at the sales party next month” he announced to them before walking away with his hands still in his pocket.
When he left, Miss Elizabeth began addressing the sales party.
“It was for a different company for fashion designers where the board will invite famous models and sell clothes, he’s willing to sell some of your clothes to see how beginners are doing and it’s gonna be live so everyone should be ready” after Miss Elizabeth was done explaining, she left.
“That man is perfect!!!” A girl screamed out immediately.
“And he even noticed Skyler’s designs here, I’m so jealous,” another girl said.
Cynthia hugged Skyler’s arms tight.
“Happy for you, if you weren’t married then I would have paired you up with Mason”
“Nonsense!!” Both Jasper and Lilian said at the same time, they looked at themselves and scoffed.
“Don’t be so jealous” Cynthia rolled her eyes and hugged Skyler’s arms again.
“If only you knew” Skyler couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
Her phone suddenly beeped and she checked to see that she had a new follower notification on Instagram.
Felix just re-followed her on Instagram.

JIGGY•COM★
When Edna got to the company, she noticed everyone laughing on their phones, laughing and murmuring among herself.
No one greeted her.
Zita who was coming out from his office paused and looked at everyone then went back to Edna again.
“Can’t you see your boss is here? All you do is press your phone, give me those!!” He began collecting their phones while some were quick enough to hide their phone.
“Good morning Miss Edna” they began greeting her but she only scoffed at them as she headed to her office.
“Extra one hour after work for annoying Edna and no lunch breaks” Zita pointed at them before following Edna to the office.
The workers began murmuring to themselves.
Edna was already in her chair, rubbing her forehead tiredly.
“I’m sorry about them Eddy but I will advise you not to check Hollywood news right now,” Zita told her.
Edna gave him a look before picking her phone before taking her phone.
“I told you not to check it” Zita scratched the back of his neck and looked elsewhere.
Edna went to Hollywood news and she was surprised with what she was seeing. There were ugly pictures of her when she saw Regina and Zach kiss.
The headline of the news says; that Edna couldn’t take the huge blow of the two new couples and not just that memes of her face with that expression was all over social media having millions of likes, views, and repost.
“You’re so hot on Twitter right now Eddy” Zita added as he fanned himself with his hands.
He slowly carried his gaze back to Edna and she was boiling so much, it felt like she would explode any time soon.
“I think I’ve stayed too long, let me see myself out” Zita flashed Edna a smile before rushing out of her office.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“REGINA!!!!!!!” Edna yelled so loud that the birds standing on top of pole wires flew off.

EVENING; BLAKE’S PLACE★
Blake walked to the couch with a glass of red wine over to where Ivy was sitting. “Here” he gave her a glass.
“Thank you” Ivy collected it from him with a smile and they both clicked glasses.
Blake sat beside her, they were both enjoying their movies, wrapped in a blanket together.
“Are you sure your grandpa or mom or even dad won’t worry that you didn’t return home tonight?” Blake said worriedly.
Ivy scoffed.
“Look at me, I’m twenty-two! I’m an adult so if I decide to stay with my boyfriend then they can’t do anything about it and besides girls my age don’t even live with their family!”
Blake only chuckled a little at her.
“Hey look, you look so handsome in this scene” She smiled and pointed at the TV.
Blake looked but a second was too fast as he took his eyes off to stare at her face. Ivy kept watching with a smile but she noticed Blake looking at her and she turned to face him.
“Why aren’t you watching?” She slowly asked.
“I am watching a cuter and more interesting version,” he replied with a flirtatious smile.
“Are you trying to flirt with me?” Ivy raised her brows at him and he sighed.
“Fine I’m just trying to make this movie more fun for us” he threw his head back to the couch.
Ivy smiled as she stared at him, she dropped her wine glass stood up, and gave Blake a confused look.
“You want fun? Let me show you” She smirked and turned off the TV but switched on the Karaoke machine beside it.
“Let’s sing” she smiled and wiggled her brows at him.
“No please” Blake blocked his ears but Ivy ignored him and began playing the best of No More Tears Left to Cry by Ariana Grande.
Blake groaned out when she began singing.
“Right now I’m in a state of mind…” Her voice sounded horrible, no cap that she hadn’t changed it.
Blake immediately stood up and turned the machine off.
“Hey!!” Ivy pouted at him.
“You know what would be more cool?” He asked with a smirk as he moved closer to her, held her waist, and pulled her closer.
“What?” Ivy wrapped her arms around his neck.
“We play tickle” he began tickling her suddenly while she tried to protect herself by running.
Ivy didn’t know how it happened but she was suddenly lying on the couch with Blake on top of her, pinning her hands above her head.
He had an affectionate look in his eyes as he stared at her.
“You’re so beautiful,” he said huskily and she smiled shyly.
Blake’s eyes went to her lips before looking into her eyes.
“Can I?” He slowly asked and she nodded then he leaned closer and crashed his lips into hers.
