Wanting my best friend’s brother Chapter 35
Chapter 35.I was up before my alarm. I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, running through everything in my head. The samples and the presentation were ready. Maya and I had gone over the plan twice already. There was nothing left to prepare other than to show up and let them know what StylebyLin really is.I got dressed slowly and by the time I was done, my nerves were already active, and so was my confidence. I stood in front of my mirror and took one long look. Today wasn’t the day to look unsure, this was real business. Okay! I thought. Let's go and show them who this is. When I got to the studio, Maya was already waiting outside. She looked sharp and put together, holding two cups of coffee like she knew exactly what I needed. The moment I stepped out, she looked me over once and smiled."Okay… there she is."I raised a brow."There is who?"She picked up her bag and handed me a coffee."The woman who is about to secure her future.""Please," I muttered, trying not

The next morning, I left Ethan's place before the sun was fully up. He was still half asleep when I got out of bed, but somehow he still noticed. He had tried to convince me to stay a little longer the previous night."Leaving already?" he asked, his voice rough with sleep as he turned slightly.He pulled me back once, sleepy and warm, mumbling something about staying five more minutes. I laughed and untangled myself anyway. I had work to do and I wasn't going to let love make me irresponsible."I have to go…" I smiled, leaning down to kiss him softly. "Unfortunately, some of us are trying to build an empire."He opened one eye and smirked."Come back later and continue building with me."I laughed softly, shaking my head."You’re unbelievable.""And you love it."He wasn’t wrong though, I did love that. I grabbed my bag, adjusted my hair one last time, and headed for the door."Lin," he called again.I turned, and he gave me that look that always made me feel like I was more than jus

The next morning, I stood in front of my mirror, adjusting my outfit. I told myself I already looked perfect. I grabbed my car keys and drove to Maya’s place. I knocked on the door twice before Maya opened it and then paused. She looked surprised."Okay…" she said slowly. "So, is this for Ethan or for me?" She moved aside for me to walk in."Oh please…" I rolled my eyes as I walked in. "Don’t flatter yourself. This is for my man."She laughed. "Ohh… so he’s your man again?""Never stopped being," I winked as I sat down."Wow," Maya raised her brows and also sat beside me.I dropped my bag on the couch and adjusted my dress."I just came to discuss something quickly and I will be out of your hair soon.""Hmm…okay, what’s that?" she said trying to be serious."The meeting with Chloe…" I paused. "Can you set it to be at her agency?"Maya blinked. "Are you sure about that, Lin?""Yes, I am.""That's what you want?" she asked again to be sure I knew what I was saying."Yes," I repeated. "A

The next two days were exhausting and tiring. I had never been so invested like this before. Even when I hadn’t gotten a deal with ModelLuxe, I didn't take sourcing the modeling agency as seriously as I have these two days.I reached out to other agencies that could match up to ModelLuxe. I followed up on contacts, sent emails, took calls, and sat through conversations that went nowhere. I didn't even get a proper meeting out of it. The few that were willing to work with me didn’t meet the standard I wanted and the ones that did, were either unavailable or uninterested.By the end of the second day, I was already tired not just physically but mentally as well.I walked into the office that evening after my final hope had been dashed and just collapsed on the couch inside my dressing room. Maya came in to hang some dresses and saw me there. She chuckled and dropped the dresses. I could see the ‘I told you so’ all over her face but she didn't say it because of how exhausted I looked."T

Later that night, after everything that had happened, I took my shower and sat on my couch with a warm cup of coffee. My body was tired and my mind wouldn’t stop drifting back to how Chloe turned out to be the manager I’m supposed to work with. Every time I closed my eyes, it was the same images, Chloe’s face, her hand in Ethan’s, and Anabel watching like I meant nothing to her anymore.I turned on my TV hoping it would get me distracted from all the crazy thoughts in my head. I just stared at the screen, still lost in thought. It wasn't working. I exhaled slowly, closing my eyes while resting my head on the couch. Just as I was about to drift into another restless thought, there was a knock on the door. I frowned slightly. Who could be knocking by this time? I sat up, hesitating for a second before getting up from the couch and walking toward the door. Another knock followed. I opened it, and it was Ethan.For a second, I just stood there, staring at him. Of all the things I expecte

The silence in the room stretched a little too long.I didn’t move or say anything. I just sat there from across my desk, staring at Chloe like my brain was still trying to catch up with what my eyes were already seeing. Maya was the first to break it."Hi…" she said slowly, glancing between both of us like she could already feel something was off. "You must be the manager from ModelLuxe agency?"Chloe’s gaze shifted from me to Maya, her expression smoothing out instantly like she flipped a switch."Yes," she said calmly. "I’m Chloe."Maya nodded, trying to recover the professionalism in the room."I’m Maya, and this is...""Linda." Chloe cut in, her eyes returning to mine.Then she added, almost too casually. "So… it’s you."My fingers tightened slightly on the file in my hand, but I didn’t respond. Maya paused.Her eyes moved from Chloe to me. That was when she knew. Still, she tried to keep things normal."Okay…" she said slowly. "Do you both know each other?""No," I said immediat

I barely slept that night after Maya left. I kept thinking about what Maya said about the party. The party is in two days. Just two more days, and I'd have to face both Ethan and Anabel in the same room. How was I supposed to do that? My mind kept running through different versions of what to do at

I woke up to my phone ringing the next morning. My eyes were swollen from crying all night, and my body felt heavy like I hadn't slept at all. I searched for my phone on the couch and saw Anabel's name on my phone’s screen.My heart stopped. For a second I thought Ethan had shown up at her place an

I reached for a glass of wine from a passing server and took a long sip, to give my hands something to do and to calm my nerves down."So… you came, " a voice said softly behind me.I turned slightly and saw Ethan standing next to me. My heart raced. I opened my mouth to respond, but the words woul

I left work early to come home and clear my head. I just finished dinner and was about to upload some pictures of my new collections to my fashion page.It was around 8 pm when someone knocked on my apartment door. I wasn't expecting anyone. Maya had gone home hours ago, and Anabel was busy with th
