“But I think if you and I match the right piece with the right song, this, as Jonah put it, will begold.”
Daniella’s cheeks redden. “I’m so glad you think so. And thank you for allowing me the chance to share my idea with youboth.”
“So, will the new pieces you designed this year fit thisConfident Womantheme?” Jonahasks.
I give a half-shrug. “I dunno. Maybe. I’m actually not quite sure. They just came in last week and I haven’t bothered to look at them yet. I’ve been preoccupied,” I hastilyadmit.
Although, I should have made time already. Every year, I design new pieces of lingerie that are to be debuted first in Milan. I know I should be betterprepared.
“Well, where are they? Let’s have alook.”
I scoff. Not at Jonah’s inquisition, but at my own damn self. “I left the boxes at home. I meant to throw them in the car, butforgot.”
Truth is, I was so excited to pick up Daniella, I left the boxes of newly designed pieces on my kitchen table. Yes, I’m a completeidiot.
“We can go get them, right?” Daniella softlyinterjects.
“That’s a great idea,” Jonah says, glancing at his watch. “But you two go right on. I have three more clients I’m meeting with today.” He gets up and pushes in his chair. “Great job, Daniella. I look forward to working withyou.”
Daniella stands with her hands behind her back. “Thanks! Samehere.”
“So, are you sure you don’t mind going with me to pick up the designs?” I askDaniella.
“Oh, not at all, boss. I’m beyond elated that I get to seethem!”
