S21 9. My Number One

“What if you meet a woman prettier than me? Sexier? Smarter? More powerful? More everything?” Kara raised an eyebrow.

Frank shook his head firmly. “That’s impossible, Kara. Even if there were, I would still consider her as lower than you. You are always my number one.”

Without realizing it, Kara’s lips trembled. Compassion had welled up in her chest. Before Frank caught it, she tightened her embrace again.

Barbara sighed in disbelief. “But, what should I write? I don’t have any achievements. I even didn’t finish my study. Moreover, work experience. I have never created a single design.”

Melanie pursed her lips. Not finding a solution, she patted Barbara on her shoulder. “Just write as best you can. Put a little lie if necessary, but don’t be too obvious. You can do it. I entrust this important task to you. Now, there are other things that I have to take care of.”
