George was exhausted; age was taking its toll on him, but at thament, the fatigue didn't matter because he felt proud seeing the hard work and effort of his younger son paying off.

That morning had started off hectic as they were doing the final photo session with the models and the jewelry. These images would be shown as a video during the runway show to highlight the pieces. Elliot was working with the photographer to guide and assist the models in striking the best poses to showcase each plece most attractively.

"It was definitely a good idea to change my mind because I see that you really feel that passion for designing jewelry, "George thought as he watched Elliot look happy and comfortable with what he was doing. "Dad."

"Eh..." George snapped out of his thoughts and saw Elliot looking at him. "Sorry, were you calling me?"

"Boss, if you'd like, I can get you a chair or a coffee," the photographer offered. "You look tired."

"I take the coffee, Danny," George said, noticing one of the models handing him a freshly made cup of coffee. Thanks. Now, what's up?" he asked, approaching them.

"Look, we're done, and I want your opinion on the photos," Elliot said, showing him the images.

"I like them. They have a flirty and somewhat seductive vibe, but my focus is on the jewelry."

"Right?" Danny said. "Elliot is a genius. He suggested the angles for each shot."

"Thanks, but our beautiful models helped me too," Elliot said, feeling shy as all the models gathered around him, praising his great work.

"Ahem, well, ladies, let's get some rest. In a few hours, we'll have the final runway practice," Danny announced, making everyone pack up to store the jewelry and change their clothes. "Now I'm a bit jealous," George joked, watching the models leave.

"Huh? Why do you say that, Dad?" Elliot asked, stretching.

"I understand perfectly, boss, but don't get discouraged. Remember, many women like fruit that's very ripe, like you," Danny joked.

"What?" George blushed suddenly at the insinuation. "Danny, I wasn't referring to that but to the fact that both they and my son still look full of energy, yet I already feel a bit tired." "Oh I see.

"Pfft-hahaha!" Elliot couldn't hold back his laughter at the joke.

"By the way, boss..." Danny became somewhat serious. "Did you invite them?"

"I didn't want to," Elliot frowned. "But they can come in because Roger still works at the company, so I imagine they'll come with him."

"Elliot..."

"I'd ban them from entering if it were up to me because I know how envious Roger can be."

"Cheer up, little boss. Don't let it ruin your mood. Enjoy your first big event," Danny encouraged.

"Yeah... well, I'll leave you now. I'll go check on the decoration of the hall, I was also told the food is arriving, and 111 supervise the sound and lighting test next."

"Alright, son. I'll handle the guest list, then," George said as he saw his son running off.

"Hate and recognition are palpable," Danny commented.

"And all of that is her fault... I really don't understand how she can differentiate between her own children, I'd understand her hatred if she said Elliot was the child of a mistress... but she carried him in her womb herself," George thought sadly, letting out another sigh as he went to check on the guest list.

He had genuinely created this grand event hoping his two children would work together for a common good: the success of the collection. But it seemed Roger wasn't interested because it wasn't his event.
