“Did you want to check out the art?” Daniel asks.

“Sure,” I answer as we excuse ourselves.

“I see you’re wearing the dress. Is it safe to say that your answer is yes?” Daniel asks as we stand in front of a blue and white piece of art.

I take a sip of my champagne to calm my nerves. “You would be correct.”

“So, no touching until after the project is complete?” he asks, staring at the canvas.

I nod my head. “Yep.”

“And how quickly do you think you can furnish the home?”

“A couple of months.”

“A couple of months?” He gasps, almost choking on his champagne. “Can’t we go to IKEA or something? I don’t care, a bed is a bed,” he grumbles.

I turn and glare at him. “You think I am going to go to IKEA?”

“They sell good things,” he argues.

“Yes, for a first-year university flat not a home that is worth nearly ten million pounds,” I argue.

“Can’t we go to the high street and buy like off the rack?” he questions.

“This project has my name on it. I have a reputation to uphold,” I remind him as I sip my drink.

“Fine. You’re one of the best and I have faith in you, but …” he leans forward, “… I’m eager to slide my cock inside of you, too,” he whispers against my ear. I throw back the rest of the champagne in my glass as I struggle to contain myself.

“I’ll look into some high street stores with quick turnarounds as a compromise,” I tell him.

“What level of finish does the property need to be? Is it furniture in or soft furnishings, too?” he asks with a grin.

“When the project is done, completed, and signed off.”

“I don’t care what it costs. This better be your quickest project,” he says before someone interrupts our discussion and pulls Daniel away.

I head back to where Georgia and Ava are standing looking at artwork.

“Guess what.” Georgia squeals.

“Georgia,” Ava moans.

“I’m excited for you. Tell her.”

What on Earth is going on?

“The Harper Rose from The Rose Agency just called and wanted to see if I was interested in working in the New York office,” Ava explains.

“What? No.” I gasp.

She nods eagerly. “She said she was impressed when I came in and she’s been talking with her staff and wondering how she can get me over here.”

“I can’t believe it. Your manifesting has worked.”

“Right? Now we need to get Georgia a new job, you need to accept Dubai, and Emily … well, look where we are, her dream has come true. This was our year girls.” Ava squeals excitedly.

We finally catchup with Emily.
