"Of course!" Estelle replied with a light smile.
Hannah hesitated before speaking, "I didn't know you were the KING before. If I've offended you in any way, please don't take it to heart."
Estelle smirked, "If I took everything to heart, Director Carlin wouldn't be sitting here right now."
Hannah became even more ashamed, "I understand, thank you for your forgiveness."
Estelle said, "Let's leave the past in the past. We shouldn't dwell on it. Plus, we'll have new faces in the studio soon. I hope Director Carlin can show them some patience!"
Hannah earnestly replied, "Yes, I'll remember that."
"Estelle!"
A voice filled with excitement followed by the sound of the door opening resounded. Sallie Macclain rushed in, beaming with joy. "You're here!"
Estelle laughed, "Where did you dash over from?"
"I had a photoshoot for a magazine today, sorry I'm late!" Sallie chuckled.
Seizing the moment, Hannah excused herself and left.
Sophia, with her chin in her hands and eyes sparkling, looked at Sallie, "Estelle, you might not know this, but our Sallie is becoming quite the celebrity. She might be hitting the big time soon!"
Sallie took a seat opposite Estelle, "No matter what happens, my main job is as a designer. Once a member of Snowy Studios, always a member of Snowy Studios!"
Estelle responded, "It's okay, do what you love. You don't have to stay in the studio. Everyone has their own path; there's no right or wrong."
"I really don't want to leave the studio. Do you know the prestige of being a designer at Snowy Studios outranks any celebrity? I'm well aware that it's the designer's aura from Snowy Studios that's getting me this attention. If I leave, I'd be nothing!"
"So you guys better not think about getting rid of me. Even if you tried, I wouldn't go. I'm happy to make money for the studio!"
Sophia laughed, "Look at her, sharp as a tack!"
After a bit of laughter, it was time for their meeting, and the three headed to the conference room together.
And it's not like he can kiss her again in the studio!
"Right!" Estelle nodded, "You've got this!"
Sophia stood up, clutching her documents, ready to face whatever was coming with a sense of duty and courage.
Estelle couldn't help but laugh as she watched her go.
Sallie approached, sitting beside her, "What's so funny?"
Estelle replied, "Grown-up stuff, kid."
Sallie's eyes widened, "I'm older than you by a few months!"
Estelle shrugged, "I'm married. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Curious as to how, what, when and where Norah will get her memory back of Xavier....
I'm so glad that Gonzalez was able to get Luke, Oliver and all others who wanted to challenge himas the CEO straight. Interesting how Xavier made reference to a girlfriend concerning his gift to Norah, but never did this before her accident. I'm grateful for the updates. Thank you...
