Listen to this chapter:

In Mysorna, Yvette finished her pierogies as her phone buzzed. A message from Flying Fish read: "[Boss, the person we rescued isn't doing well. Hurry over.]"

Yvette pocketed her phone and stood. Emmett asked, "Yve, heading out? Need a lift?"

Casually slipping her phone back into her pocket, Yvette grabbed her sports jacket and replied coolly, "No need. I'm going myself. Hand me the car keys."

Frankie quickly handed her the keys. Before leaving, Yvette told Sienna, "There's some stuff you need in my room. Go grab it."

Sienna was stunned. "Yve, how did you finish an entire collection of thirty designs so fast?"

With a hand in her pocket, Yvette simply nodded and left, leaving Sienna in shock.

After Yvette departed, Sienna rushed upstairs, eager to see the designs. Frankie grabbed Sienna's arm as the others looked on curiously, having overheard the word "designs." "Sienna, what's up with the designs? What were you and Yve talking about?"

Sienna sat back down, meeting their curious gazes. "Oh, I guess I mentioned my job, huh?"

Frankie waved it off. "Sienna, now I'm curious. What do you do?"

Sienna shrugged. "I'm a fashion designer. I run a small clothing company, just to get by."

Their surprise was palpable. Bruce, suspecting Sienna's "small" company wasn't so small, politely asked, "Ms. Sterling, what's your company called, if you don't mind sharing?"

Sienna, slightly intimidated by Bruce's seriousness, nodded. "No problem. It's based in Mysorna, called 'Vibe.'"

Frankie chimed in, "Nice name! Sienna, maybe you can design a few outfits for me?"

Sienna agreed, "No problem, Frankie. I'll design something in the next few days. You'll love it."

Emmett, who had been looking at his phone, finally looked up. He said to Frankie, who was joking with Sienna, "If you want custom-designed clothes, you'd better have that seven million ready first."

Frankie looked confused. Bruce and Chris also turned to Emmett, curious.

Emmett placed his phone on the table and spun it. Hearing Sienna mention "Vibe" had triggered a quick online search. He recalled Jeremiah's mother mentioning the brand, which had a unique rule of selling only one Haute Couture piece per person.

Emmett was surprised to discover Sienna was the designer and partner of the brand so many elite women coveted.

Bruce took Emmett's phone, glanced at it, and looked at Sienna in silence before putting it down. Chris saw the screen, noting the company profile and achievements.

Frankie eagerly checked his phone, then exclaimed, "Wow!" He looked at Sienna in awe. "Sienna, your profile is impressive! If Vibe is small, I wonder what counts as a big company."

Sienna scratched her head sheepishly. "It's alright, just lucky." She wanted to mention the globally renowned Vibe spring-summer haute couture series wasn't her work, but Yvette's.

Bruce tapped his fingers on the table, observing Sienna. "Is Yvette also a designer for Vibe?"

Hearing Yvette's name, Chris and Emmett looked up.

Sienna fidgeted nervously. She thought, "No way Yve wants her identity revealed!" Suddenly, inspiration struck. She clutched her stomach. "Oh no, stomachache, time of the month! Gotta go upstairs. Enjoy your meal!"

She dashed upstairs, leaving Frankie and Bruce puzzled. Chris turned to the others. "Time? What time?"

Emmett paused, looking bemused. Bruce continued reading his newspaper. Frankie chuckled, nudging Chris. "Dude, you're destined for a lonely bachelorhood."

Chris was baffled. Seeing his confusion, Frankie typed on his phone and showed Chris the explanation for "time of the month." Chris wished he could disappear.

In Yvette's room, Sienna spotted sketches on the table. To an untrained eye, they might look like scrap paper, but Sienna was captivated. The designs were stunning, unlike Yvette's usual style.

Sienna carefully organized the sketches into a folder and took them to her room. She then called a familiar number. A warm, motherly voice answered, "Hello, darling Sienna. It's been so long, is everything alright?"

The woman knew Sienna well; she never called without reason. She knew Sienna was the second person she knew with extraordinary talent, the first being Yvette, who had passed Vibe on to Sienna.

With a sweet tone, Sienna replied, "Professor, I just wanted to ask if the submission deadline for the international fashion competition later this year has passed?" She was speaking to Hazel, her mentor and head of the top design school in Mysorna.
