Chapter 187 - No need to wish anymore

Tyler stroked his cry baby fiancée as he looked past her into the distance. General Yun, you are starting to declare war against me, aren't you? Very well.

Three days later.

Elite Fashion World.

All the designers had completed their new task and they sat in the small conference room with their files.

They were going to select the best theme. To ensure that the selected theme was truly the best, everyone would showcase their work and then vote. Of course, Dai Youran was not part of it.

When Wan Jia presented her drafts, there was no more need to vote. Everyone agreed that she was the best. Her theme was friendship- it was nothing new but her imagination was off the charts!

There were ten pairs of attires, each one more beautiful than the last. The eleventh pair that she did not show anyone was for her and Lin Lihua.

Even the CEO was impressed. How cute! This Designer Wan sure was full of surprises. How he wished the president would see them! Too bad, Wan Jia did not allow him.

"So, let's vote?" The CEO asked, but he was met with their refusal instead.

"Do we have to? She obviously wins."

"I agree. Let's not go through all that trouble."

"As long as Wan Jia is in EFW, I will never compete with her."

...

It took a few hours for the outfits to be ready. Since EFW's main store was just across the street, Wan Jia saw to it that they were dropped off. As a reward, she was given another afternoon off and she went to Lin Lihua's.

The agreement was that some of them would be sold at the main store that day and the next morning, they would be distributed to EFW's branches.

"Sis Lihua!" she greeted when she got to Lin Lihua's apartment. Lin Lihua did not have scenes to film today so she was happy when Wan Jia said that she was going over.

"Little Wan, I missed you." she hugged her.

"I missed you too Sis Lihua."

After a warm hug, Wan Jia finally gave her the package.

"A present for me?" she was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes....but it's for both of us."

"I see..." Lin Lihua opened the package and shrieked in the next second. "Whoa--!"

Theirs were different from the rest- cute dresses with matching scarves. Lin Lihua's was black while hers was pink. If one looked at them closely, they actually complimented each other. There were also childish bunny ears for Lin Lihua and kitty ears for her. Lin Lihua almost laughed her butt off. "Ha ha! You don't expect me to wear such a childish outfit, do you?"

Wan Jia pretended to look sad. "You will not? But it's out first best friend costume. I even picked the cute fluffy boots to match the dresses. In fact, ours are not best friend outfits; they are sister outfits." Under Lin Lihua's stunned gaze, she continued. "I wish I had an elder sister like you, Sis Lihua."

Lin Lihua felt as though her heart had been crushed. She hugged Wan Jia tightly, wishing she could tell her, 'you don't have to wish anymore, I'm right here.'

"Hey! What are we waiting for? Let's dress up." she pulled Wan Jia off the seat.

"Wait, wait....fine. Let's dress up."

A few minutes later, the two women giggled as they looked at themselves in the mirror. With the cute ears on their heads, they looked playful and cute.

Wan Jia took her phone. "Photo time!"

They posed for several selfies before Lin Lihua said, "I'll call Nina over."

"Who is Nina?"

"Our photographer." they both laughed. Nina was Lin Lihua's friend who always took photos of them whenever they dressed up.

...

"Hey, where did you buy those dresses? They're so cute.!" Nina exclaimed.

"EFW..." before she said "main store", Nina was on her way.

"I'll buy one really quickly and come back before you know it."

"Wait!..." she had already disappeared.

"Don't mind her. Let's just take some ourselves."

At some point, they switched scarves and realized they looked even cuter.

Lin Lihua uploaded in her moments, [True friends make my day (and my wardrobe)] She attached the last photo they had taken and tagged Wan Jia.

Within just a few minutes, Lin Lihua's social media account was crashing. It was normal for celebrities like her to have millions of fans but this was unpreceded! Fans were asking if that was Wan Jia's new series and if it was, whether it had been released, where to find them and whether they could make online orders.

"Ah! Sis Lihua, you just helped me advertise!" Wan Jia exclaimed when she saw comments flooding into hers as well. If they were to check EFW, the situation was no different.

"I didn't get any." Nina came back looking sad.

"Did you go to the main store?" Wan Jia asked her.

"I went to the nearest branch first and they didn't have them. By the time I went the main store, there were none left. "

What in the world? She had produced five pieces per pair. That was fifty pairs, alright? Including the one she and Lin Lihua were wearing, that was 51! As it was still within working hours, she called the CEO to ask.

The result was- "Designer Wan, I'm collapsing soon. How many pieces did you produce?"

"Fifty pairs."

"They are sold out."

"What?!"

"Also, there are enough pending preorders to keep your schedule full for at least four or five months."
