We step apart.
Faye struts over to KB and tells him what outfits she’s looking for.
The bell sounds over a door in the distance.
“Hello, Faye.” A woman smiles as she approaches, carrying several garment bags.
“I have the one-of-a-kind clothing items you requested,” the woman says.
“Thanks, Nadine,” Faye replies.
“Nadine, you know Shaylee.” Faye smiles.
They greet each other.
“Dr. Nadine Magarelli, I’d like you to meet our friend, Dr. Kinsley Levon.”
She shakes my hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“Likewise. You have a beautiful boutique,” I say.
“Thank you.” She grins.
“During your rounds at the hospital, you never seem to run into our friend because she spends most of her time in her research lab when she's not seeing patients,” Faye chuckles.
“I know another doctor like that. Research is very important in our profession. Best of luck to you,” Nadine says.
I feel my shoulders loosen up.
"Thank you for your kind words," I say with a grateful smile.
“Faye, the shop is closed to the public for two hours. I have to get my girls to dance class.”
Nadine walks backwards toward the back entrance. “You ladies have a nice time.”
We say our goodbyes. My friends waste no time shoving me into a dressing room.
After two hours, Faye and I are in a fit of giggles as I try on the final dress. We've managed to down two bottles of champagne while Shaylee sticks to bottled water.
“Faye, Eric’s here,” KB yells.
“Thanks,” Faye calls out.
Earlier, Faye had sent Eric a text message informing him that he would need to drive us home.
He’s a good man. Too bad they don’t make them like him anymore.
Faye carefully explains the occasion for each dress she picked out for me, while Shaylee snaps a picture of me in the crimson dress that fits my body perfectly. The nude stilettos add just the right touch without being too provocative.
I look over at my friends and declare, "I'm ready."
***P***
After my meeting with the team at the Wife for Hire Agency, I am filled with a sense of assurance. They are impressed with the portfolio I have prepared.
Instead of waiting anxiously for a response from the agency, I throw myself into my work at the hospital and conduct extensive research in my spare time.
My mother has no clue what I am doing behind her back. I had promised her that I’d exhaust all options to find a cure for her condition.
