Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia wasn't one to trust the rough, cheap clothing you find on the streets, nor did she feel confident about their cleanliness. Even though it wasn't like babies would catch diseases from them directly, the thought of her little one wearing clothes that had been carelessly tossed onto a carpet gave her anxiety.

What if her son developed a rash or, heaven forbid, some skin condition after a photo shoot? The mere thought of her delicate little boy crying in discomfort was enough to make her heart ache for the entire family.

Luckily, when she felt the fabric, Mia was relieved to find it soft to the touch, clearly made of pure cotton, and the craftsmanship was impeccable. She also checked out the laundry area and was pleased to see it met her standards of cleanliness.

As she was about to inquire about the prices, Anya, who had been watching her with admiration, said, "Aunt Mia, when I have my own babies, I'll be sure to learn from you."

Mia shrugged modestly, "What's there to learn? I'm just winging it with Henry as my first."

Around six-thirty, the big boss, finally free from his busy schedule, called his wife.

"Mia, how's the photo studio? Where are you now? I'll come pick you up."

After Mia told him where they were, she added, "Why don't you come check it out as well? Anya and I will wait for you."

When they agreed to have her husband sign the contract too, Mia informed the manager, who was visibly shocked, "Andre is coming over personally?"

Mia nodded, then said something that surprised the manager even more, "And he'll probably be here all day for the shoot."

Realizing her reaction might have been a bit much, the manager joked, "Guess I'll have to have a serious chat with the photographer. With Andre around, I'm not sure the photographer can handle the pressure."

Twenty minutes later, Andre walked in, greeted by Mia's enthusiastic, "Honey, over here, come here!"

The manager, slightly nervous, greeted Andre, "To think you'd come to our humble studio. Perhaps I should give you a thorough tour?"

Andre waved off the offer, "No need. My wife can make the decisions on this."
