Elected To Love

Chapter 9

The periodic test began at the end of May, and the "SC" met once more to conclude any remaining matters before summer vacation. With a sigh, Aliara looked around the empty meeting room that would soon be occupied by members. 

While Ivan had not yet revealed any information about the final design, she had made sure to provide her classmate with the contact details of a dealer and was eager to show off her success.

Rewind three days earlier. The two leaders had agreed to divide the task, with Aliara preparing the dealer and Ivan receiving the final design. While the others believed that they should divide up the task to finish it as quickly as possible, they had both brazenly challenged each other.

The door opened, breaking her reverie as she saw Ivan's face. His expression was as expressionless and calm as usual, yet something inside of her found it intriguing.

"Greetings Head girl, how are you doing? Well prepared?" Aliara's mind raced at the sight of the attractive but masked side of lips rising in mockery. "You will see Mr. Ivan," she shot back, and his expression changed into a smile, taking a seat beside her. 

The meeting was soon followed by the other members.

"The design and the dealer are the two most important matters that we have now left in our hands," Aliara said, passing the rest to Ivan to show the design. 

"We have finally found the end of it by coming to terms with one last design, here," Ivan stated, putting the design on the screen.

The jacket had white stripes around the wrist area and was navy blue. The name of the school was sewn on the right side in big characters, the wearer's initials were sewn on the left side, and the back of the jacket bore the bold phrase "Seniors 20**."

The "SC" members' eyes lit up as they observed the design; they were not merely impressed. Zara remarked, 

"It's perfect guys, I wish I could have your creativity for next year's designs," already anticipating the chaos that she could have to cope with as a senior the next year. The others followed complimenting them.

Santiago grinned at her, Saint mumbling a "thank you," and Ivan said, "Thanks for the positive feedback, guys. Saint and I did our best."

He turned to face Aliara and asked, "Now can we know the thoughts of our head girl?" She rolled her eyes, mumming a little, "Impressive," before pulling out her laptop, which made Ivan choke back his laughter.  

"Okay, so the dealer is up next. According to the website, their name is X, but they are a whole firm, and we got several images of their work. Eric, one of my classmates, had already spoken with the dealer, but we will be joined to a group chat with the dealer to double-check everything. The dealer's real name is Carol." Aliara continued, connecting her laptop to the screen at the moment.

"The first number is the dealer's, and the second is the manufacturer's; we won't need to get in touch with the manufacturer directly because the dealer should handle that. They don't impose any additional fees. To wrap everything up, Eric will now go over the last few crucial items."

Aliara said as the guy walked in, Eric was a tall, brown boy who entered the room and attracted everyone's attention.

"Hello everyone, I apologize for arriving late." he began after receiving a nod in agreement from Aliara as Ivan asked him to clarify the remaining information. 

"As Aliara mentioned, we must share the design in the group chat that will be made, and later on, at least two of the SC members must meet with the dealer to finalize the deal."

He turned to face the members and said, "Also, I think we should get the funding soon as Carol says the faster we proceed the faster the manufacturing is done and the faster we get our jackets."
