"Okay, she will personally meet you in the office tomorrow morning," Julian said, tucking the phone in his pocket.
"Wait, what? Is she coming to see me? Personally? Julian, that woman doesn't just 'drop everything' for a small runway show."
"She did for this one."
Lyvana shook her head, still stunned. "Julian, are you sure you called the right person. Because her agency is like the best in the world. Nobody gets her on a Tuesday night with a single phone call."
"I kind of know her personally," he replied simply.
Lyvana searched his face, her eyes narrowing. "Is there something you're not telling me?"
"There is a lot I haven't told you, Lyvana." He reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair from her face. "But none of it changes the fact that you need the best. And Celeste is the best."
"Knowing someone 'personally' is one thing. Having a woman like that abandon her schedule for you is another. Were you... close?"
