Miss Blackwood... what if I fall?

"The model blinked."

Thank you

"Ivy nearly tripped over a clothing rack before stopping in front of Aurora."

Miss Blackwood!

"Ivy took a deep breath." Your schedule has officially declared war on me.

"Ivy checked her tablet dramatically" After the show...

"She raised one finger." Seven interviews.

"Another finger." Three international magazine covers.

"Another." Five billionaire investors.

"Another." A dinner with European buyers.

"She lowered the tablet dramatically." and someone stole my blueberry muffin.

"Ivy nodded seriously." It was homemade.

"Ivy sighed dramatically." Justice must be served.

"Ivy folded her arms." It won't taste the same.

"Ivy grinned proudly." Thank you.

Aurora!

Finally!

"Hazel stepped back dramatically." Exactly! No cameras.

"She leaned closer." Tell me honestly.

"Hazel pointed toward herself." Do I look overdressed?

"Hazel gasped dramatically." I knew it!

"Hazel smiled proudly." That's the answer I wanted.

Am I late?

"Daisy smiled." Emergency surgery ended late.

You forgot dinner again, didn't you?

"Daisy crossed her arms." Aurora.

"Daisy sighed." Your body doesn't care how busy you are.

"Hazel nodded dramatically." One day your future husband is going to lock you inside the house until you eat properly.

"Hazel nodded." Definitely.

"Daisy grinned." He'll need patience.

"Hazel added immediately." And unlimited coffee.

"Ladies and gentlemen... another unforgettable masterpiece from the one and only... Miss Aurora Blackwood!"

"Ivy quietly smiled."

Little sister.

"Oliver laughed." Shouldn't I be saying that to you?

"Oliver chuckled before handing her a small gift box."

Open it.

Dad said every great designer deserves a pen worthy of signing history

Do you like it

"Arthur smiled warmly." Your grandfather loved collecting fountain pens.

What's wrong?

"Rose approached carrying a dessert plate." No excuses.

"Rose held up a fork." Eat.

"Oliver folded his arms." Resistance is useless.

"Arthur nodded proudly." Absolutely.

"Hazel stretched dramatically." I'm exhausted.

"Daisy laughed." You walked twenty meters.

"Hazel looked offended." Do you know how heavy these heels are?

"Ivy immediately answered." About two kilograms.

"Hazel pointed at Ivy." You're fired.

"Ivy blinked." I don't even work for you.

"Hazel crossed her arms." Details.

"Aurora's calm expression hardened." Let's get to work.

"A man slowly removed his glasses and stared at the blinking screen."

Phantom

"He smiled faintly." I've been searching for you for three years

"He looked at the screen filled with encrypted code." ...and now, Phantom...

...our game finally begins.

"A small smile appeared beneath her black mask." Catch me if you can

"Agasthya stood before the window in silence."

Agasthya?

Good morning.

"Agasthya accepted the cup." Good morning, Mom.

"She looked at him carefully. Then sighed dramatically." You're wearing another grey suit.

"Agasthya blinked." Yes.

Do you own any other colors?

"He thought for a moment." ...Black.

"Mabel laughed." One day I'll secretly replace your wardrobe with bright colors.

"Agasthya looked completely serious." That would be a crime.

"She laughed even harder." See? You can make jokes.

"Agasthya took a sip of coffee." It wasn't a joke.

"Mabel simply shook her head." My son is impossible.

"Theodore Ravenshield was sitting on the head of the table reading financial news."

"Without looking up, he spoke." Morning.

Morning, Dad.

"Theodore folded his newspaper.A proud smile crossed his face."

Congratulations

"Agasthya looked confused." For what?

Yesterday's acquisition.

"Agasthya nodded." It was a team effort.

"Theodore smiled knowingly." You always give credit to your team.

"Agasthya simply replied," They earned it.

"She stared directly at him. Without blinking."

"Agasthya looked back."

"Mabel watched them with amusement."

"Luna gently pushed Agasthya's toast onto the table. It landed upside down."

"Theodore cleared his throat."

"Mabel burst into laughter." She wins again.

"Agasthya looked at Luna." You planned this.

"Luna slowly blinked. As if admitting it."

"Mabel gently scratched Luna behind the ears." She's reminding you to smile.

"Agasthya picked up another slice of toast." I'm smiling.

"Theodore whispered." Are you?

"Mabel leaned closer." I think that's his version of smiling.

"Agasthya accepted defeat." ...Fine.

"The corner of his lips lifted slightly. Barely noticeable."

"Mabel clapped happily." There it is!

"Theodore chuckled." A historic event.

Did you see Aurora's fashion show?

"Agasthya glanced briefly." I read the report.

"Mabel sighed dramatically." I asked if you saw it.

No

"Theodore smiled knowingly." Arthur called last night.

"Agasthya looked up." Everything went well?

Very well. The entire industry is praising Aurora.

"Mabel nodded excitedly." She designed another masterpiece.

"Agasthya simply answered," She's talented.

"A mischievous smile appeared." She's also beautiful.

"Agasthya continued drinking his coffee." I suppose.

"Theodore almost laughed."

"Mabel rested her chin on both hands." You know...

"Agasthya looked suspicious." ...What?

"Mabel smiled innocently." Nothing.

"Theodore quietly stood up." I suddenly remembered I have an early meeting.

"Agasthya narrowed his eyes." ...Why did Dad leave?

"Mabel smiled even wider." Because he knows exactly what I'm about to ask.

"Agasthya sighed." ...Mom.

When are you getting married?

"Agasthya calmly placed his coffee down." I have board meetings. I have investors. I have company acquisitions. I don't have time.

"Mabel crossed her arms." You also don't have a girlfriend.

"Agasthya stood." I should go.

"Mabel called after him." You can't escape forever!

"Without turning around, he replied," I've escaped for twenty-eight years.

"Mabel looked toward Theodore, who had secretly been listening from the hallway."

"Agasthya stepped inside."

"His eyes drifted to a headline on the business news."

Fashion isn't my field.

"Agasthya gave a polite nod." Good morning.

"He paused beside an elderly cleaner." Good morning, Mrs. Wilson.

"Agasthya noticed the heavy cleaning bucket beside her. Without a word, he lifted it and placed it on the trolley for her."

"He simply nodded before continuing toward the executive elevators."

"Liam smiled nervously." Good morning, sir!

Oh no— "Liam caught it..."

"But accidentally threw one of the files into the air. Papers floated everywhere."

"Agasthya calmly reached out and caught the file before it hit the floor."

"Liam stared at him in amazement." ...Thank you.

"Agasthya adjusted his cufflink." Gravity wins every morning.

"Liam blinked." ...Was that a joke?

"Agasthya looked completely serious." I was making an observation.

"Liam whispered to himself," I'll count it as progress.

"He gestured politely." Please, sit.

"Agasthya remained calm."

Our competitors have expanded into three new markets. They've lowered prices significantly.

Our customer satisfaction has increased by twelve percent.

Our research division has developed two new technologies.

Our long-term growth remains stronger than short-term discounts.

"He looked around the room." We don't chase trends.

We create them.

"As everyone left, Liam hurried inside." Sir, Mr. Oliver Blackwood has arrived.

"Agasthya smiled faintly." Send him in.

"Oliver laughed." Still alive?

"Agasthya smirked." Barely.

"Oliver looked around the spotless office." I see nothing has moved.

It isn't supposed to

"Oliver shook his head." You really are impossible.

"Oliver glanced toward the coffee machine." Still making terrible coffee?

"Agasthya replied," It keeps me awake.

"Oliver took one sip." ...It also removes happiness.

"Liam nearly dropped his tablet outside the office." ...The CEO laughed?

"He quietly made a note on his phone." Historic Event Number Two.

"Oliver placed several documents on the desk." Our companies are ready for the partnership.

"Agasthya reviewed them carefully." Everything looks good.

"Oliver nodded." We'll announce it next week.

"Then Oliver casually added," Aurora wanted to thank you for the congratulatory flowers.

"Agasthya looked up." I only sent them because her collection deserved recognition.

"Oliver smiled knowingly." She appreciated them.

"Agasthya simply nodded." Nothing more

"Luna sat majestically on the living room sofa."

"Mabel held up two photographs."

"One showed Agasthya. The other showed Aurora at the fashion gala."

"She placed them side by side." Luna...

"The cat slowly looked up."

What do you think?

"Luna calmly walked forward... Sniffed Agasthya's photo..."

"Then sat directly on Aurora's picture."

"Mabel gasped dramatically." Theodore!

"Theodore entered." What happened?

"She pointed excitedly." Luna has chosen!

"Theodore looked at the cat... Then at the photographs."

"He laughed." If our son ever finds out we're asking the cat for relationship advice...

"Mabel smiled proudly." He doesn't need to know.

"Luna purred innocently."

"Agasthya stood alone in his office overlooking the glowing city."

"His phone buzzed. A news alert appeared."

"Agasthya frowned slightly." The mysterious Phantom...

"Hazel smiled proudly." I knew asking you would fix everything.

"Hazel looked horrified." ...Why do you have that?

"Daisy shrugged." You three forget to eat.

"Hazel suddenly became fascinated by the ceiling."

"Ivy quietly stepped backward."

"Daisy smiled knowingly." I brought energy bars.

"Liam stood nearby reviewing the evening's schedule." Sir.

"Agasthya looked up." Yes?

"Liam checked his tablet." Seven interviews. Four business introductions. One award presentation.

"He paused." And...

"Agasthya waited."

...Mrs. Ravenshield asked me to remind you to smile.

"Agasthya slowly looked toward Liam." ...She asked you personally?

"Liam nodded nervously." She said and I quote...

He cleared his throat.

"'If he looks like he's attending a tax seminar instead of a gala, tell him I'll be disappointed.'"

"Agasthya closed his eyes for a moment." ...Of course she did.

"She looked her son up and down." Hmm.

"Agasthya immediately recognized that expression." ...What?

"Mabel smiled." The tuxedo is perfect.

"He nodded." Thank you.

"She continued." The hair is perfect.

"Another nod." The shoes are perfect.

"He waited."

"She sighed dramatically." The smile is still missing.

"Liam whispered proudly," Historic Event Number Three.

"Agasthya Ravenshield stepped out."

"Liam quietly stood beside him and whispered," Sir... your mother said—

"Agasthya didn't even look at him." No.

"Liam sighed dramatically." I tried.

"Oliver entered with Arthur and Rose."

"Arthur smiled as he greeted Theodore." It's been too long.

Business refuses to let us rest.

"Arthur laughed." Or maybe we're just bad at taking vacations.

"Mabel noticed Aurora speaking with several guests. Her eyes lit up immediately"

"Arthur looked at him." So what?

"Oliver simply answered," Nothing.

"Liam finally reached Agasthya." Sir, the award ceremony begins in five minutes.

"Agasthya nodded. He looked toward Aurora once more."

"For reasons he couldn't explain... He found himself thinking," She's not what I expected.
