Devyn was drenched in cold sweat.


    She wanted to bail but she was stuck.


    Once Ste finished, Be had her say.


    She calmly dropped a bombshell.


    “I think I’ve got it.


    I’m changing thepetition winner.


    ”


    Devyn trembled.


    If Be went through with it, all her hard work would be for nothing.


    She couldn’t let that happen!


    “Why?” Devyn shot back with no hesitation.


    “The decision’s done.


    How can you flip-flop? I was the first to submit the work.


    You can’t just switch because Ste chirped a bit.


    I won’t buy it unless you spill what’s wrong with my design.


    ”


    “I’m hoping for a better attitude from you,” Be said, serious as ever.


    “Your and Ste’s designs are real close.


    I can’t prove you copied but I’m trusting my gut here.


    Sorry, Miss Padi.


    You lost, and have to face the music.

    Devyn seethed.


    “That’s not fair!”


    Be’s face turned stormy.


    “Miss Padi, if you doubt, we can bring in pros to check your design.

    A flicker of panic crossed Devyn’s face, but she stood her ground.


    “Not buying it!”


    And with that, she hung up.


    Be saw Devyn’s true colors in that attitude.


    With a sigh, Be apologized to Ste, “I let my bias get the best of me earlier.


    I should’ve given you a chance to exin.


    ”


    Ste rushed to reassure her, “No sweat.


    Not on you.


    I get it.


    ”


    Be asked quietly, “Do you still want me at your wedding?”


    “Absolutely!” Ste affirmed.


    “Your presence would mean the world.


    I want you there…”


    Ste locked eyes with Be.


    “And I’ve got something big to share then.


    ”


    Be nodded, a smile ying on her lips.


    “Count me in.


    ”


    Then the call ended.


    Ste breathed a sigh of relief.


    Finally, this mess was sorted, and things were back on track.
