The Star & The Songbird (Kiro x OC)

Chapter Three

The days that came after the invitation were agonizingly slow yet full of productivity, regardless, Constance worked hard and gave her all when it came to producing new episodes of Miracle Finder. It was something that Victor would be proud of had he let down his ego more frequently.

'Perhaps,' she thought, 'Perhaps the week-off was giving me so many things to work with.'

Today, the majority of the company's employees had already left by three in the afternoon. A pop of gum sounded behind Constance as she sat within her panel in the office and before she could turn around, she found Willow leaning beside her. Her elbow rests on the table as her head lays on top of the palm of her hand.

"So Connie," Her casual voice still brought out some energy even after a long day "How do you plan to dress for the premiere?"

Constance smiled at Willow before speaking "Actually, I was planning to wear my favorite dress to the film showing."

"Which is...?" Willow prodded on "Describe it at least."

"Alright... I'll show you a picture, I did wear it recently." Constance said as she unlocks her phone and quickly scrolls through her photo album to show her a picture. As a reaction, Willow tried not to show how disappointed she was at Constance's plans

"You're wearing this?" She asked just to be sure and Constance nods.

"Is there something wrong with it?" She asks her, but Willow squeaks.

"Come on Wills... just be honest with me. I know you want to." Her voice was full of distaste for any sense of faking. Willow simply sighed and spoke

"It's not that it's bad... it's just inappropriate."

"Inappropriate? How?"

"Well..." Willow straightens herself up from her position "For starters, this dress is too casual."

"But I wear it to formal events." She defended

"Connie, you realize you're going to be in a room full of stars, right?" Willow spoke "That includes Kiro by the way." Constance's ears turn red by the thought of Kiro. Giving it a second thought she brings up a question.

"Is this... not okay?" She asked, still holding up the phone to Willow's eyes.

"You're going to be among celebrities for an entire day!" Willow groans "I think you need to dress up a little more for the occasion. Wouldn't you want to impress them?"

"Clothes don't make the woman." Constance shrugs, her response earning a facepalm from Willow in shame and a bigger clump of disappointment.

"You are not wearing that." She declared "You need to be seen not invisible. You might botch up the plan if you're planning to go for a semi-formal attire like this."

Constance sighs, defeated and partly irked by Willow's relentless nagging over a simple dress. She takes another look at the photo and bows her head before she speaks "I suppose you're right..."

"Uh... yeah I am! And it's a good thing I asked already otherwise you'd be underdressed for the occasion." She frowns at Willow's words, but nonetheless she agrees.

"What do I do now?" Constance asks her, jumping when Willow slams her desk. This surprises her as well so she lets out a small apology before going to speak "First off, you need to visit a boutique tomorrow. We need lots of time for dress picking."

Unsure about Willow's words, Constance argues "Can't I just go to an alteration shop and redesign an old dress?"

"Connie... no... premieres are a lot like high school formals where students get to be Princes and Princesses for one day. And Kiro is your prince, no?"
