“ oh you flatter me ! ” they’ll grin and shake their head fondly . “ i’d like to think i’m only interesting enough to stay in the spotlight because i have such amazing clients . ” they smile , reaching for their drink to take a small sip . “ yes ! exactly ! princess diana did that for a while . she wore the same sweater and shorts or something like that . i think a couple other celebrities also did that too , ” they muse with a light hum . “ listen ! i get it . it gives me a bit of an ego boost . do you ever just have one of those weeks where you don’t feel like dealing with them ? i think that method could apply there . or flipping off the cameras . heard that doesn’t get any pictures sold either . ”
“ i doubt that's the case , nalini . anyone who is making fantastic designs such as you , will always be entertaining enough to stay in the spotlight . ” though , she appreciates the humble response . grasping onto her beverage to take a small sip before proceeding with the conversation , “ oh , didn't princess diana do that for awhile ? i swear i've read that somewhere . regardless , that's something i'll have to keep in mind . . . though sometimes , i'll admit , i do enjoy it . ”
a small grin surfaces as she shakes her head . “ unfortunately not ! just maybe one or two dying to catch a glimpse as they hang out in front of my store . ” nalini will playfully wink . hands move up to place over her chest at val’s admission . for there’s truly nothing more satisfying than to see someone’s reaction to her compliments . “ well you shouldn’t have said that val , now i’ll have to make it my mission to throw out a compliment every time i see you . and that’s a promise ! ” laughter expels past the designer’s lips . what ? she can’t help it . “ oh life … ” she starts , blowing out a breath of air . “ i mean nothing new . all i do is work . attend the obligatory social gatherings . honestly val , my life is boring . it just revolves around fashion week and the met gala . and what about you ? the musician life has got to be FAR more interesting . ”
her lips turn upwards involuntarily , without a second thought . and god , how she loved anybody who wasn't a man ! ' oh , come on , i don't believe that . surely you've got the longest line of suitors waiting for their chance to even catch a glimpse . ' a small suck of her teeth , disbelief , came out . val's head will tilt to the side slightly , eyes lighting up - the quickest way to her heart is through her looks ! ' you know , i would never lie to you , so yes i've been told quite a few similar things , but just between you and i ... i like it much better coming from you . ' reign it back in , girl ! ' now tell me ... how's life been treating you these days ? '
