*2 weeks later*

"We're currently working on some solutions to resume the influx of costumers you've had in the third quarter" Sean mentioned as he wrote in his notebook.

"So far we've found that the recent collection you've added abetted online sales in a massive way" a friend of Spencer's, Khalil, informed him.

The three young men were in Spencer's office space rental in Los Angeles, providing Spencer with updates regarding his clothing line.

"You mean...having Olivia design the previous collection for women might've been the best decision I've made business wise?" Spencer inquired and his two peers nodded their heads. "Liv's work brought in an influx of costumers. What were the reviews?" he inquired with a smile on his face.

"Majority of the consumers were impressed with the designs" Khalil began and Spencer nodded his head. "The only improvement would be to add more sizing" he explained and Spencer agreed.

"I could work with that. There are women and men that come in all shapes and sizes. I want to be as inclusive and diverse as possible" Spencer adjusted his shirt. "I'd say including Liv's collection permanently would be a great move" he continued.

"I agree" Sean nodded his head. "The previous design sold well, it would only make sense to keep the collection to increase the sells. Olivia could honestly create more designs if she were up for it" he said and Spencer nodded his head.

"That's definitely the plan if she's up for it" Spencer said and the two men agreed. "The street wear is great but to have added this collection and seen the influx is impressive" he continued.

"We're on it" Sean continued to write in his notebook. "We'll send out an update notifying consumers the collection will be re-launched....in...two weeks?" he inquired and Spencer nodded.

"Nae still runnin' the social media accounts?" Spencer questioned and Sean nodded. "That's perfect. Khalil, any details on the location of the first flagship?" he inquired.

"I know you wanted the first location to be in your hometown..." Khalil began. "Which is a great idea because of the authenticity of who you are and the traffic in the area" he continued and Spencer agreed.

"Outside of rent would the location be in our budget?" Spencer asked as he took a sip of coffee.

"I'm just getting started with the research but I should have a definite answer by the next meeting" Khalil said and Spencer nodded his head.

"I'd appreciate-" Spencer paused as he'd noticed the missed calls on his phone from Olivia and Mrs. Baker. "Oh shit..." he mumbled and stood up from his seat.

"What's up, Spence?" Sean questioned.

"I forgot Liv has an appointment with the OBGYN" Spencer said as he gathered his belongings. "I hate to cut this meeting short, but I've got to get going. The two of you are doing an exceptional job with administering this, I appreciate it" he continued.

"No problem" Khalil said and Sean nodded. "You go get to wifey, we don't want to hold you up any longer" he continued.

"The two of you can lock up when you're done" Spencer said goodbye to the to his peers and exited the office space.

The Los Angeles heat radiated onto Spencer's skin as he approached the door of the doctor's office. He checked the time on his phone and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing there's a chance Olivia is still in her appointment. He was about to send Olivia a text when the door opened, causing him to jump into place.
