âMaggie, with your remarkable success, how could I possibly object? Iâd be honored to have you design my gown,â Rosalynn declared with a smile.
âDeal,â Maggie agreed, her smile radiant.
Glancing at the time, Kaliyah instructed, âPlease take good care of Ms.
Fuller.
I must visit an old friend to discuss opening a new branch.
â
âOf course, you can count on me,â Angie assured as she watched Kaliyah leave.
Rosalynn reached for Maggieâs hand, inspecting her closely.
âLet me get another glimpse of you,â she insisted.
Maggie obliged, twirling gracefully, her smile infectious.
âRosalynn, I havenât changed.
Still, that girl who admires you.
â
Rosalynn chuckled.
âWho says you havenât changed? Now itâs my turn to admire you.
Youâve skyrocketed to fame as a bridal gown designer, havenât you?â
âOh, Rosalynn, quit teasing,â Maggie protested.
Iâm just a small-time designer.
But you? Youâve astounded me once more.
So, youâre the mastermind behind that TV drama script being filmed now, right?â
Having seen the promotional posters, Maggie held Rosalynn in high esteem.
Rosalynn laughed, brushing off the praise.
âIâm merely passing the time, really.
â
Maggie teased, âHey, Rosalynn, playing the modest card doesnât really suit you.
â
âAh well, I suppose itâs fine,â Rosalynn replied with a hint of jest in her voice.
After a lighthearted exchange of banter, Maggie got down to business, presenting her collection of bridal gown samples.
âThese are the designs Iâve been working on.
Take a look and feel free to share any thoughts.
â
As Rosalynn perused the catalog, she marveled at the intricate designs of each bridal gown, each one a masterpiece in its own right.
Being a designer herself, though not in the realm of bridal wear, her discerning taste compelled her to appreciate them nonetheless.
Yet, amidst her admiration, she harbored her own design concepts for the gown design.
âMaggie, may I share some thoughts,â Rosalynn initiated.
With pen poised and notebook ready, Maggie eagerly awaited her insights.
âGo ahead, Iâm all ears,â she encouraged.
âGiven that Iâm expecting, I suggest we opt for a more breathable fabric with a bit more stretch.
This way, itâll be easier to adjust the gown after the baby comes,â Rosalynn explained.
Maggie, on the verge of jotting down notes, glanced at Rosalynnâs belly in astonishment.
âYouâre pregnant! It doesnât show at all!â
With a gentle touch to her belly, Rosalynn replied, âItâs a recent development.
â
âCongratulations on your journey into motherhood.
â Maggie extended her warmest wishes.
