42 Fashion!

"If I would have known I would just assist the class on that day, I wouldn't have wasted my energy getting jittery over nothing."

Days passed by, and the ever still Twilight agency was now bustling with people.

The employees grew in number as well as the talents scouted.

The same could be said to Jason, for these days that passed, with the effect of the training now taking effect on him, one could already see a little bit of progress on him.

No matter how busy the agency is now, there was but one person who was as still as ever.

"Ah geez, I feel like a degraded vine in front of all these growing flowers."

Lia who was slurping an orange juice while waiting for the bus, was looking at the direction of a now vibrant sunflower.

Huff, huff...

"Ah sorry Lia! I was late again."

Jason who was huffing was now looking at Lia with his puppy eyes, feeling so apologetic for being late almost every day.

'Ahhh so shiny.'

In these days that was just gone by in a blink, Jason now evolved into a somewhat 'decent shiny boy'.

'I mean I guess he became a little good looking. I must go beg for Linda again later.'

These past few days, Lia met a lot of people in different departments, one of those is Linda who transformed Jason's hair into an ethereal blonde. Her hands work like real magic. Lia did ask Linda to do the same for her, but she was rejected before she even finished her sentence. Why?

Well, this is what Linda said "My hands are solely for artists, clearly you are not. So no."

By evolving, Jason now had gotten rid of his dull style and had gotten to dress 'decently'. All the more, he was beginning to have a healthy complexion making him seem like a budding flower. Last but not the least, was his hair. The ragged looking blonde dull--- no, probably the dullest blonde Lia has ever seen has now been turned into shimmering shade of blonde.

Making him fit for Lia's nickname - 'Sunflower Boy'

'Well, I guess it could still be months, before I can finally see the real Jason.... fufu, I'm looking forward to it.'

Because of how bright the weather is and how 'bright' her artist has improved, she wore sunglasses to fit the 'trend'.

Well, the main reason to that is because she said 'Duhh! Fashion is the armor to survive the reality of life! And so, I must and should wear... SHADES!!!'

She said that even though, she doesn't see her office work as a challenge at all.

Ehem-- I mean, Lia our protagonist in this story just wants to be fashionable and cool to the eyes of her coworkers.

Because of that, the new people working in the agency all thought she was an artist. When in fact she's just a funny but an undenyingly beautiful.... assistant.

Lia scanned Jason after a while and threw her orange juice at the can beside the bench.

She uncrossed her legs and stood up while adjusting her clothes to make sure there are no wrinkles on her perfectly ironed pants and blazer.

She smiled at Jason. Her smile was the most well liked feature of her's to many people, but somehow her smiles always have underlying meanings.

But the flower boy beside her doesn't even see it even more feel it. I guess he's too flower-y to see that.

While some people have progressed, Lia disagrees to the idea that she, too, will develop and evolve somehow.

'Why do I need to grow some more? Is it unfair to some people somehow? I mean....I haven't even shown my cards yet, fufufu'

Due to narcissis--- due to some unknown reason, Lia doesn't feel the need to.

"Ah wait huhu Liaaa....."

Thus the two of them rode the bus together going towards Twilight.

---

At a certain car.

"Yes sir. All departments are now operational. Yes, Yes already done."

Ivy Chen's monotone voice rang inside the black Bentley. Her image totally sits perfectly together with the car's aura.

"So Lucien will be coming soon.... Ah, Ivy, why do you sound so stiff? Calling me sir that sir this?" The man on the other side inserted a joke suddenly his pleasant laughter and his tantalizing voice echoed in the car.

Despite that Ivy Chen still didn't budge and kept her ever so still face, without showing any kind of relaxed emotion anywhere.

In the novel, it was described that Ivy Chen was an astute Boss of the agency, and it has proven to be true even up till today.

"Sir." Muttered Ivy before heaving a sigh with her serious face.

"Alright, alright. I won't budge you to call me Daniel anymore."

The man she was talking to on the other side of the phone, seems to be the infamous real 'boss' that Lia secretly knows of - Daniel Lu.

'Ah, thank goodness.' Ivy secretly rejoiced inside her mind.

"Ah by the way Ivy..."

All of a sudden Daniel seemed to have remembered something.

"Yes sir?"

Expecting an order coming, Ivy Chen straightened up reflexively, with her face becoming even more serious.

"How is Jason coping up?" Daniel in his pondering tone asked Ivy.

"He's improving. I see no room for hesitation and doubt to his current situation." Ivy who was awaiting for her master's orders, answered directly and all the more so seriously.

"hoho, I see" Daniel who was on the other side seemed to be delighted at the news, as he remembered that he had a little hard time convincing this artist to join his agency.

"Yes, Jason is well taken care of sir, you don't have to worry. Is there anything else you wish to ask sir?"

"fufu... I see, I guess I don't have to worry about receiving his mother's nagging. Ah... yes, there is another thing, what about 'that' person?" Daniel who has his light and hearty tone still, asked the question with a deceitful feel.

"Which one sir?"

At Ivy's question, Daniel, who's on the other side of the phone suddenly laughed so hard.

"You really know me all too well Ivy.... ehem, I mean the interesting one."

"She's..... "

With that, Ivy's CPU somehow encountered a problem and seems to be loading.

"Why, what?"

Meanwhile Ivy who's recalling every information she got when encountering Lia on hallways played in her mind like a tape on fast forward.

"I guess, she's doing well too." She said that while recalling Lia who sometimes look more like an artist rather than an assistant.

"fufu, I see." Daniel said that one line as a comment.

Afterwards the two proceeded to finish off all other reports before saying goodbye on the phone.

One in an apartment in LA dressed in his business suit and another one inside the Bentley car given to her by her Boss proceeding to attend a meeting.
