Lily and Leo walked into the house, exhausted but exhilarated from the fashion show. They had just gotten home, and Lily was still on a high from her win. She couldn't stop smiling as she thought about the incredible feeling of walking down the runway, her designs shining under the bright lights.
As they entered the living room, Lily flopped down onto the couch, kicking off her shoes. Leo sat down beside her, putting a comforting arm around her shoulders.
"You were amazing tonight," Leo said, smiling at her. "I'm so proud of you."
Lily smiled back at him, feeling happy and content. "Thanks, Leo," she said. "I couldn't have done it without you."
The next morning, Lily woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. She got dressed and headed downstairs to the kitchen, where she found Rachel sitting at the table, sipping a cup of coffee.
Lily was surprised to see Zoey, but she was also happy to have the opportunity to discuss their potential partnership. Rachel had been a guest judge at the fashion show, and Lily had been impressed by her expertise and insight.
"Zoey, what brings you here?" Lily asked, pouring herself a cup of coffee.
Zoey smiled, looking elegant and poised as always. "I wanted to talk to you about our discussion last night," she said. "I'm interested in partnering with you to create a new fashion label."
Lily's eyes widened in excitement as she considered the possibility. She had always dreamed of starting her own fashion label, and partnering with Rachel could be the perfect opportunity.
After finalizing the details of their partnership, Lily excused herself to take a walk in the garden with Mrs. Jenkins. As they strolled through the lush greenery, Lily felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over her. She was excited about the future and the possibilities that lay ahead.
Meanwhile, Leo and Zoey were left alone in the kitchen. They sat down at the table, and Leo turned to Rachel with a concerned expression.
"Hey, Zee, how are you doing?" Leo asked, his voice soft with concern.
Zoey sighed, looking a little emotional. "I'm okay, Leo," she said. "Just a lot going on right now."
Leo nodded understandingly. "I know you just broke up with Mike," he said. "That can't be easy."
Zoey shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears. "It's not just that," she said. "I'm just feeling really lost right now. I don't know what I want or where I'm going."
Leo reached out and took Zoey's hand, offering her a comforting smile. "You'll figure it out, Zee," he said. "You're strong and talented, and you always come out on top."
Zoey smiled back at him, looking grateful for his support. "Thanks, Leo," she said. "Just talking to you makes me feel better."
Zoey's expression turned serious as she asked Leo, "Leo, what do you see in Lily? Is she really the one for you?"
Leo's eyes softened as he thought about Lily. "Zoey, I've been with Lily for a month, and I've grown to like her and she's an incredible person," he said. "She's kind, talented, and beautiful, but it's more than that. She's got this spark, this energy that draws me to her."
Zoey raised an eyebrow, looking curious. "A spark? What do you mean?"
Leo smiled, trying to put his feelings into words. "It's hard to explain, but when I'm around Lily, I feel alive. I feel like I can be myself, like I don't have to pretend to be someone I'm not. And when we're together, it feels like everything else fades away, and all that matters is us."
Zoey nodded thoughtfully, looking like she was trying to understand Leo's perspective. "I see," she said. "So, you're saying that Lily makes you feel seen and understood, like you can be your true self around her?"
Leo nodded, feeling a sense of relief that Zoey seemed to get it. "Exactly," he said. "That's what I see in Lily. She's the one person who truly understands me, and I feel like I can spend the rest of my life making her happy."
Zoey nodded, looking pleased. "I'm glad you're happy, Leo," she said.
Zoey then asked, "So, what do you think about the partnership between Lily and me?"
Leo leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful. "I think it's a great opportunity for both of you," he said. "Lily's talent and your experience could make for a really successful partnership."
Zoey nodded, looking pleased. "I think so too," she said. "I'm excited to see where this partnership takes us."
Leo smiled, feeling happy
As they talked, Leo couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about the future. He knew that Lily and Zoey's partnership had the potential to be incredibly successful, and he was happy to see Lily's dreams coming true.
Zoey stood up, smoothing out her dress. "I should get going," she said. "But I'm excited to start working with Lily and see where this partnership takes us."
Leo walked Zoey to the door, feeling grateful for their conversation. "Thanks for being such a good friend, Zee," he said, hugging her goodbye. "I know I can always count on you."
"Diego?"
"yes boss"
"what's my schedule for today?" Leo asked checking ordering things on his phone "a meeting with the CEO of platinum building company, and dinner with your brother Marco"
"Oh almost forgot that rascal was coming today get everything ready we leave in 3 min" "yes boss" Diego left to get things ready for the days invent.
3 min on the dot and they both left leaving Lily with Mrs Jenkins
"Lily dear, I'm really happy for you but now you have a child, please don't stress yourself and the baby, you know this old woman is not strong anymore and i can't carry you when you are hurt" Mrs Jenkins said making Lily chuckle
"Don't worry aunty at least Zoey and I concluded I'll be working from home since she was told about the baby"
"OK that's much better"
