Y/N woke up more earlier than usual. Today was not the day but it was the day she would have to put butterflies on the dress. She hoped it would work, after all if this goes wrong she is more than gone. She put on something from her wardrobe and put on just a little bit of makeup.

She decided to use the extra time she had to make some pancakes. 

"It smells good in here." Kaitlyn said coming into the kitchen. I smiled as Estella came close after. 

We all ate and I drove us to work. I was surprised to see the Baroness waiting for me at the stairs.

"Ah, Y/N come on now. Have a good day Estella." She winked at her, I was surprised at her kindness towards her. The Baroness left my side for a moment to do something while I went to see the dress. Everyone crowded around the beautiful dress, soon the Baroness made her way through the crowd. I stood beside her and admired it.

"I've done it again. I need a drink. Y/N come." I quickly followed the Baroness. 

She decided to go to a fancy restaurant, we got a table for two and sat down.

She order some very expensive champagne, the waiter brought the bottle to our table. She struggled opening it, I watched as the Baroness popped it open and the cork shot into her eye. She was completely unfazed by this. I rolled my eyes in annoyance from her lack of sympathy.

"Oh, dear, are you alright?" I took her face in my hand and looked at her eye.

"I'm fine really, thank you for your kindness..." she left after that. I looked at the Baroness to find her sending daggers at the girl. I put my hand on top of hers.

"Baroness, are you alright?" Her attention was averted to you.

"Hm? Yes I'm alright." I took away my hand, I thought I saw her frown for a second but I wiped it off.

"A toast to me." I chuckled and immediately regretted my decision.

"Do you never toast to anyone else?" 

"Y/N, everyone else is a obstacle." I nodded my head and continued with drinking my champagne.

I ordered golden pearls and African Monarch Butterfly cocoons. 

"Y/N, why aren't you working?" The Baroness said.

"I'm just waiting on this idiot delivery man."

"Golden pearls for one fabulous lady."

"Thank very handsome delivery man." Horace opened the large crate to reveal golden pearls infused with cocoons.

I spent the whole evening sewing the pearls on, and yet I wasn't even half done. Everyone had already went home except for me. I suddenly felt a warm hand on my shoulder.

"Y/N? Aren't you going home?"

"I'm not done yet so I'll stay here all night if I have to."

"Hardworking, I like it keep it up. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." I continued with my work. By the time I was done it was already 1:39 am I decided to close my eyes for a bit. I eventually fell asleep on my desk.

I woke up feeling someone carry me somewhere, I opened my eyes but not enough for them to notice. It was the Baroness. She carried me to a room with a settee, she set me down and sat next to me. Baroness put a strand of hair behind my ear. I blushed as she set my head on her lap. She absentmindedly played with my hair. I pretended to stir awake.

"Good morning, darling."

"*yawn* Baroness? What am I doing here?" I sat up.

"Well you fell asleep on your desk, and no one is here yet so I decided to take you here."

"Right. Thank you. You're a really great friend." She looked a little sad when I said that.

"Friend. Right."
