They were doing it to win honor for their branch of the family. They also wanted to become the stars. of the party.
The
arty wasn’t even close to starting, but Halle and Rowena were picking on Bonnie already.
party
“I guess you’re kind of Ivor’s fiancé now, Bonnie. Don’t embarrass him at the dinner party! You can beg me for a dress if you don’t have one for the occasion. I’m sure I have some things I can lend you.
“They might be outdated, but they’re all expensive. You’ve probably never worn anything like that
as she before. Well? Are you going to beg me for it? I’ll give you something if you do,” Halle said, looked at Bonnie condescendingly.
“I don’t need your pathetic dresses, I didn’t want to say this, but your dresses are beneath me.”
“Go ahead and talk! I’ll be waiting for you to embarrass yourself at the party!”
Halle walked a few steps away with Rowena, then turned back. “Didn’t you used to pretend you were wearing Hamish’s designs? I managed to reserve one out of the three new designs he made this month. I’m sure you’ll be jealous when I amaze everyone at the party.”
Bonnie raised her brows and looked at Halle mischievously. “I can read your fortune. I can tell you that you’re not fated to have any of his dresses. I’m afraid you won’t be able to wear it this month.‘
“Hah!” Halle rolled her eyes at Bonnie and led Rowena away, looking all high and mighty.
Bonnie’s phone buzzed. Hamish was calling. What a coincidence. She had been about to call him.
“I’ve just tweeted three of my latest designs on my official Twitter account, Ms. Bonnie. Two of them have been reserved, but I saved the third and the best for you. I’ve been turning down every request
for it.”
Bonnie checked Twitter and saw that there were, indeed, three designs. The two that had been reserved were definitely fashionable, but the one Hamish had saved for her was in a completely different league.
“Nicely done. I’ll take it.”
“Okay!”
“Has anyone from the Knight family reserved any of your dresses?”
“I did hear that the Knight family’s annual dinner party is next week, and now that you mention it, some of the Knights have reserved my dresses.”
“Do you have a buyer who goes by Halle Knight?” She asked.
“Wait a minute. I’ll check.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Very soon, he came back with an answer. “There is a Halle Knight.”

“Cancel her reservation.”
“Huh? What?” Hamish was stunned, but it soon hit him. “Did she offend you somehow?”
“You could say that.”
“Alright. I’ll cancel it, then. It’s just that the dress is kind of expensive, and she paid a deposit. We’ll have to pay quite a hefty price if we cancel it.”
Bonnie didn’t care about that. “Do you think I can’t afford to pay for that?”
It made sense, Hamish thought. After all, Bonnie, chairman of Tang Fusion Studios, had personally appointed him chief designer and CEO. Their company was one of the ten most prominent companies in the world, so they had unimaginable wealth.
As chairman, she could easily afford to pay for a cancelled reservation.
“Alright. Consider it done.”
“Very well.”
Halle kept demeaning Bonnie to Rowena on their way back. “I just can’t stand her. Ivor must have. had the most rotten luck to be engaged to someone as cocky and useless as Bonnie.
“She even said she knew how to read fortunes and I wasn’t fated to wear one of Hamish’s dresses.
Who the fuck does she think she is?”
“Absolutely. She grosses me out so much I could just puke.” Rowena acted like she was about to throw.

“Hmph! We’ll be able to make fun of her at the party!”
Soon, Halle received a call from Tang Fusion Studios.
“It must be about my dress. They must have finished it!”
