"Wow," Rex said, genuinely impressed. "You move fast."
"Honey," she said, voice dripping confidence, "fashion waits for no one. Especially not fame. I had to rearrange half the boutique’s priorities this morning, but... it’s worth it. I don’t let my clients walk into elite circles looking like discounted soap opera extras."
Rex laughed. "You wound me."
"Oh please. You’ll survive. Maybe even thrive, once you see what I’ve prepared."
He sipped his juice and leaned back. "So, what time should I drop by?"
"Eight O’ Clock sharp. No celebrity slouching, got it? I want to get your fittings done before the boutique opens. You’ll get the full VIP treatment."
"As if I expected anything less."
"You better not. And wear something easy to take off," she added with a mischievous lilt.
Rex choked slightly on his juice.
She laughed again, wicked and knowing. "Relax. I’m talking about the fitting process. What were you imagining, you pervert?"
