Scars and Schemes      

[SOPHIE]

Sophie paced back and forth in her room, her fists clenched in frustration.

Her phone was pressed tightly against her ear as she snapped, "Mom, you have to set a meeting with Hyun. I can't wait any longer!"

On the other end, Sophia's voice was strained. "I've been trying, Sophie, but you know how long it takes to book a session with Hyun. He's not just any designer; he's the Hyun now apparently. Even I can't just demand an audience on a whim."

Sophia sneered on the other end of the line, unable to fathom how a mere commoner could hold more status than even royalty, simply because he was gifted with a talent that made women swoon at his feet.
