I giggled. “I have two in mind.”I’ll pay back the money on whatever I spend on anyone else. “When will you be back?”
“Soon. We’re making great progress. We’ll talk about it on the flight.”
“What flight?”
“You didn’t receive the emails?”
“I was in class.”
“We’re going to Paris for your spring break. Though, I may need a few extra days to attend a birthday party for an old friend. Is that possible?”
“Oh, my God! Seriously?” I shouted, and Xander’s brows rose. “Yes!”
“Thought that would make you excited. Who are you with?”
“Xander. He knows my parents, and I wanted advice.”
“He’s been cleared. However, his social media is full of gossip, so I ask you to use discretion. No photos and no sexual contact.”
“The last request goes without saying. I miss your kisses.”I miss you.
“Where?”
I touched my hot face. “Oh, my goodness. I’m not answering that.”
“You just did. I’ll cover you with kisses soon. Goodbye, Nadia.”
I beamed and stared at the phone after the call ended.
“You’re going to give me a toothache,” Xander said. “So what’s the verdict?”
“I’m good, but I have a limit,” I lied.
He jutted his chin and smirked. “Come on, Nadia. Your eyes are darting all over the place, and your ears are red, so I know you’re lying. His shoe budget alone could feed the world.Idrool over his clothes. There is no way that man is cheap.”
I huffed. “So what? Yes, he said no limit, but I can’t go nuts. I don’t want to feel like…”A gold digger.
“He wouldn’t have given you a card if he didn’t want you to use it. He wants you to redecorate, and that doesn’t sound like he’s bothered about money. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Enjoy it.”
I motioned for him to follow me to the car and thought about what he had said. I’ll spend within reason.
Ben waved at me and took our portfolios and backpacks before holding the door for us to climb into the back of a Bentley. Paul loved his cars.
“Where would you like to go?” Ben asked us.
“The apartment first?” I asked Xander. “I’d like you to see the studio space.”
“Sounds good.”
Ben drove off, and we both let out a long sigh as we sunk into the leather seats.
We’d always dreamed of having a good life and fantasized about living it for years. Xander dreamed of getting away from his heroin-addicted parents, who stole everything from him and sold it.
“I’ve got good news for you. Did you know that Professor Elan shared your Grill Collection with my class?”
“No way? Wow!” I screamed, and we high-fived and hugged each other.
“For her to show off a first-year is rare as hell. SheisNew York Fashion Design. She’s got twenty-five years under her belt. If she sends a recommendation to any house, you get it, just on her word.”
