86 The Princess And The Ceo (1/2)
The days pa.s.sed quickly shortly after their home-warming party. While Yoona was occupied with school, Minhyun was busy with his work. Due to his arrival in Korea, many of the directors were all eager to schedule meetings with him.
Most of his hours were spent talking to people sucking up to his greatness and company meetings while the other half was him focusing on reports and project work. For a man who deemed himself to be unsocial, he met with a lot more people than he liked.
Since the gala was on Sunday, two days before the event, Yoona was scheduled to talk to the famous designer Desire Francis. After hearing the name, Eunha couldn't help but freak out.
Yoona was going to wear a dress made by one of the best designers in the fas.h.i.+on industry? She wanted to faint yet again.
Hearing that Eunha was a fan, Yoona decided to bring her friend along to their meeting.
”I love you so much right now,” Eunha cooed while holding her arm. They were in the car, driving to Desire's shop. ”You don't know how grateful I am. You're letting me meet a legend.”
Yoona scrunched her nose. ”A legend?”
”Yup, the person I look up to the most in the fas.h.i.+on industry. Desire Francis.”
”Is she that famous?”
Eunha widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously. ”She's won so many awards for the past years for her designs and she's created some of the most amazing pieces I've ever seen! If you mention her name in a fas.h.i.+on school, everyone is going to rave about her. A legend is what we all call her.”
Yoona didn't know they were meeting such a great person.
”Oh wow,” she said. ”That's pretty cool that i'm getting a dress from her then.”
”Yup. She never takes personal requests so you are a really lucky person right now. So jealous.”
Minhyun's contacts were really something huh? Yoona shouldn't have expected for the designer to be no ordinary person if they personally knew Minhyun to some extent.
Their destination was a downtown beauty shop residing in the middle of a cla.s.sy district. With sleek white walls and black-tiled floors, the shop was gorgeous to look at. The workers had talent in all types of beauty from makeup to clothes so there was no doubt that the interior would be perfect as well.
Upon entering the building, in the corner of Eunha's eyes, she could see famous people of all ranks. A gasp escaped her lips when she noticed one of her favorite celebrities.
She excitedly tapped Yoona's shoulder. ”Isn't that Sana from Twice?”
”Who?”
Yoona peered over her shoulder, trying to decipher who Eunha was talking about. However, she had no clue to who she could be pointing out.
Eunha sent her a 'do-you-live-under-rock' look. ”You have no life.”
She raised her eyebrow pointing at herself. ”I'm the one that doesn't have a life. Me? Says the one who spends her time fawning over celebrities.”
”Rude. So rude,” Eunha replied with a pout.
A giggle escaped her lips. ”Just kidding. You can admire them as much as you want. I don't care.”
When they reached the front desk, Yoona took out Minhyun's business card, telling the worker that she was scheduled with Desire. At first when looking upon their attire, the lady did not look ecstatic to tend for them. In fact she was slightly rude. However, upon seeing Minhyun's card and hearing her name the lady widened her eyes before standing up. She quickly grabbed her things and straightened her skirt.
”Right this way Miss's!”
Eunha leaned over to whisper in her ear. ”Serves her right. She's scared of us huh?”
”That's what Minhyun's power does to people,” she replied. ”He's a G.o.d in the high-cla.s.s world.”
”A G.o.d that is trying to make you his G.o.ddess,” the short-haired girl teased.
Yoona's cheeks burned as she hit her friend in the arm. ”Stop it!
During their car ride, she had told Eunha about the discovery of her feelings and the potential of them becoming more than just friends. As their number one s.h.i.+pper and best friend, Eunha was absolutely ecstatic to hear the news. Her screeches still pierced Yoona's eardrum to this hour.
She regretted telling her. Slightly. Just slightly.
Her poor eardrums.
When they reached the top, the elevators opened to a room full of clothes. Different mannequins wearing exquisite clothing and rackets full of different pieces.
To Eunha this was her heaven. The place she wanted to stay in forever.
”Ah you girls must be from Minhyun's appointment?”
Yoona looked up to a middle-aged lady in front of them with crossed arms. Her hair was a sleek brown, curling up when reaching her shoulders. On her nose perched a pair of sharp gla.s.ses that brought up her intimidation a notch. She was wearing a simple black blouse and a red skirt alongside a pair of high heels.
Yoona could feel her friend stiffen beside of her.
”Yes, we are,” she answered. She took a step forward and brought out her hand. ”My name is Yoona nice to meet you.”
Desire shook her hand. ”Desire Francis. A pleasure.”
Then the lady used her index to bring her gla.s.ses higher up her nose, narrowing her eyes at Eunha. ”I wasn't told that another one would come.”
Eunha quickly bowed. Her body was stiff. ”N-nice to meet you! I am Yoona's friend and I came over because I admire your work. I am just going to be looking so please just treat me as if I'm invisible!”
Desire was slightly taken back by the overwhelmingly enthusiastic young girl, but nonetheless, decided to let the situation pa.s.s. ”Very well. You dress okay so I'll give you a pa.s.s. Shall we go now? We don't have time.”
The two nodded before following the highly-esteemed designer.
While they were walking through the halls, Eunha excitedly whispered in her ear. ”She complimented my clothes! I'm so happy?”
Was that a compliment? Since Yoona didn't want to ruin Eunha's happy moment, she decided to nod along.
Desire led them to a fitting room and when she opened the blinds, Yoona couldn't help but open her mouth in shock.
In front of her eyes was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen.
A beautiful dark blue hue which resembled the reflections of stars against the ocean, the dress was everything she'd ever want in a piece of clothing. The bodice was a heart-shape strapless which tightened at her waist before flowing outwards over her legs. Sparkles imprinted on the top half, spreading as the dress went down.
”Wow,” Eunha said. Her eyes glistened. ”Amazing. I am in awe.”
”Isn't it a beauty?” Desire said with her hands on her hips. ”One of my greatest pieces of art yet.”
Yoona bit her lip slightly. It was absolutely beautiful. Too perfect for her to wear. ”Do you think it will fit. I don't think you have my measurements.”
Everything was going too smoothly. Her heart beat nervously.
”Minhyun sent us your measurements so you will be fine. Now, we just need for you to try on the dress to make sure everything fits well. We can make adjustments too if you lost or gained weight.”
Wait a minute… What? Yoona tilted her head back in confusion. How did Minhyun have her measurements. She hadn't told him anything.
”Ah okay then,” she said suspiciously. She glanced over at Eunha before facing Desire again. ”I'll change then.”
Weird. Very weird.
Eunha giggled. ”Measurements huh? I guess he knows your bust size as well.”
Yoona was going to kill her. She really was.
Luckily, Eunha's voice was quiet enough for only the two of them to hear or else she would've died of embarra.s.sment.
Well, she already was, knowing that Minhyun knew a lot more than he led on.
Since the dress was a one of a kind, the staff helped her put it on. Although she was a bit embarra.s.sed being half-naked in front of a group of people, she obeyed their words.
Once she put it on, Yoona felt like a princess. She never would've imagined to have worn anything like this. The smile on her face couldn't leave.
Eunha squealed and ran towards her. Then she swiftly grabbed her hands in excitement. ”You look SO stunning. I am so shook.”
Yoona blushed slightly. ”Thanks girl. The dress is really doing wonders.”
”The model is also bringing the colors out as well,” Eunha said with a wink. ”Don't underestimate yourself.”
