When Mona arrived at her desk, she called Elara and Vespera over to update them about their workspace situation. As she talked about the studio

ed found for them, a smile broke out on Mona's face, and her heart was full of pride.

After their discussion, Mona made her way to Leander's office and repeated the same story about the workspace, as well as that she'd need Elara and Vespera to be all hands on deck to work on making the gown, so they wouldn't have any time to come to the office. Leander agreed eagerly. He'd originally been worried about the lack of space for the design department, but now that Mona had helped to resolve the matter for him, he was more than happy to oblige. So it came to be that morning that

When the three of them left, the remaining coworkers in the design department looked on at Elara and Vespera with envy and jealousy.

They had every reason to be upset. It was an amazing opportunity that had been bestowed on Elara.

And so, for the next two days, the trio busied themselves working on the dresses. Elara even gave "The Designscape. the place a name, calling it

Mona and Vespera didn't have any objections, but they were amused by how much Elara gushed about it every day, saying, "The Designscape has this?", or "Did you know The Designscape has that?" It was certainly entertaining. On Friday afternoon, Maxwell went to The Designscape to pick Mona up. She said goodbye to her team members and went back to her family home with Maxwell.
