"Are you serious?!" Andrej asked loudly over the line.

"Yep. I think he totally forgot", Gustav sighed

"He can't. He just can't. Tomorrow, they'll start the photo shoot with the designers. He needs to know before it airs!" Andrej tried to stay calm, massaging his temples with his free hand.

"Oh god. I need to tell it to Bill. That this whole thing is going to be a show", Gustav pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to figure something out. 

"This is bad if he's going to be a bitch about it. You know him, I do to. He doesn't care about the cameras of a TV show"

"I know... I'm his secretary and friend, remember? I already told him about this. He just tends to... forget things..." Gustav tried to be calm as well

"The models don't even know!"

"It's a one episode show. Try to ease the stress out of your mind, Andrej"

"I'm trying. Remember when he humiliated an amateur designer. Damn, the kid didn't even know that he copied Bill's design", Andrej remembered, swirling his office chair gently.

"The kid deserved it. He was too arrogant and boastful with his awesome design. Bill looked calm while judging, he was even smiling sweetly!"

"Well, I wish you'll survive his wrath after the revelation. Tell him tonight. He's done with his new collection right?"

"Yeah. Thanks for that", Gustav ended the conversation. He picked his car keys and grabbed his bag as he walked his way out the office. He dialed Bill's number and waited for him to answer.

"Hey Bill. Where are you?" Gustav asked over the phone

"Here at the main store. Pick me up. Let's have dinner", Bill answered

"Okay"

"How're your designs?" Gustav asked before he took a bite from the bread he's holding 

"I'm done with it. Just finalizing some small details", Bill gave a small smile as he continued eating his meal

"Hey, Bill"

"Hmmm?" Bill didn't bother to look up at his friend

"I know that you know Project Runway"

"Of course! Been a guest judge", Bill said proudly. He wiped his mouth with the napkin and sipped from his wine glass.

"They have this campaign project for a charity. It's a one episode show"

"And?"

"That'll be next week"

"Good for them", Bill shrugged as he grabbed his fork to continue eating.

"Will it bring good to you?" Gustav dared to ask

"What do you mean?" Bill stopped swirling his fork on his plate to look up at his friend. He heard Gustav sigh.

"You are a part of it. A big part, actually", Bill just stared, waiting for Gustav to continue

"I don't know the whole set-up. All I know is that, you're going to be paired by one of the models you hired. The two other models will be paired to other designers. It's a designing challenge, as usual" Gustav explained. While he was talking, Bill continued eating, as if no one's talking, but Gustav knows he's listening.

"Say something, Bill"

"What am I supposed to say?" Bill continued to eat

"Are you mad? For telling you this late?"
