Chapter 1509
When Love Comes Late
âJust checking in.
How are you? Feeling better?â Aline asked, her voice laced with concern.
A few days ago, Flossie mentioned she wasnât feeling great, so she ended up postponing a lot of her work.
Aline felt sorry that Flossie was going through this, especially at such a crucial point in her career.
She hoped Flossie would get better soon so she could get back to her life as a celebrity.
The industry was moving fast, and they had to keep up or risk being left behind.
Flossie replied, âIâm feeling a lot better now.
Is something up?â
âIâm just relieved to hear youâre doing okay!â Aline couldnât hide her excitement.
âYou know Liz, that fashion brand? Theyâre organizing a big fashion show in Seamarsh.
Iâve been doing everything I can to secure a spot for you.
They mentioned if you do well, you might even become Lizâs brand ambassador!â
The idea of being Lizâs brand ambassador caught Flossieâs interest.
Now that Benny was well again, she was free to work and earn some extra money.
But then she looked down at her pregnant belly, wondering if going back to work would be risky for her baby.
âFlossie? You still there?â Alineâs voice broke through her thoughts, a hint of anxiety in her tone.
âThis is a golden opportunity.
We canât let it slip by.
â
Flossie knew what was at stake.
After a moment of thought, she responded, âIâll think it over and get back to you tomorrow.
â
Aline was relieved Flossie didnât say no right away.
âOkay, take your time.
Iâll be waiting for your decision.
â
After they hung up, Flossie sat by the window, lost in thought as she watched a bird outside, waiting for Benny to return home.
As soon as Benny got home, he told Flossie, âHey, get ready.
Iâm taking you to a party.
â
âWhat party?â Flossie looked a bit surprised.
This was the first time Benny ever offered to take her to a party.
Benny said honestly, âEdmund set it up.
He thinks I should mingle more.
So, letâs get you spruced up.
â
After dropping that explanation, he flashed a grin at Flossie.
âSure thing!â Flossie trotted off to her room happily.
She swung open her wardrobe.
It was packed with all sorts of clothes, some which had been gifted to her, all fresh out of the box.
Flossie eyeballed each outfit and gave them a try.
A wave of long-lost excitement flooded her.
Looking at her slim waist and flawless curves in the mirror, Flossieâs eyes sparkled.
She seemed to have an epiphany and dialed Alineâs number.
âIâve made up my mind.
Iâm hitting up the Liz fashion show.
