"Good afternoon Ms.Evans", Lia smiled as she and Yeji took a seat in front of Bridget
"Pleasure to meet you Ms.Lia. I'll be honest, I have never heard of you before", Bridget said
"Well, I am quite new so it's understandable", Lia replied

"I must say, I took a look at your portfolio and I loved your pieces. I enjoyed the simple style of it along with the small details", Bridget complimented
"Thank you, my grandmother thought me how to sew as a little girl", Lia added
"That's wonderful. Danielle, come over here", Bridget called over her secretary

The two whispered together until Bridget said to Lia, "You're hired. You will be dressing me for the Lonshine Gala"
"Thank you so much. I won't let you down", Lia thanked her
"So go and draw out some designs and propose them to me. We'll meet again tomorrow?", Bridgets asked
Yeji wrote something down on her clipboard and nodded, "Ms.Lia, you're free all day tomorrow"
"Great, we'll meet at 2pm then", Lia said
"Thank you and see you soon", Yeji bowed as the two of them left the room

"Ew, that felt weird. I haven't been so proper to anyone in my life except Boss", Lia commented
"For real, I was cringing. Let's get home and you should start thinking of designs. Oh and her secretary gave me a tip, she loves pink. So use a pink element or something", Yeji said

Soobin and Beomgyu held their guns up and waited for the knock at the vault door. Soobin asked, "Password?"
"I'm hungry, I want a pineapple pizza with a side of garlic bread", a man's voice said on the other side

Beomgyu unlocked the door and opened it. Beomgyu and Soobin pulled the heavy box inside and nodded at the two men on the other side. They shut the door and secured it. "Huening Kai! Help us, it's heavy!", Soobin shouted upstairs

Huening Kai walked down and helped the other two carry the box to the living room. They carefully pried the lid open and lifted out a fancy-looking machine. Huening Kai picked up a pair of glasses that came with it and put it on. "Woah guys, this is cool. You can press the start button on the side of the glasses. Then, it will scan any piece of jewellery near you. It'll link to the computer and print the copy in that machine", he said

"That's great, now take it off. Don't accidentally break it or whatever. Now all we have to do, is wait for Lia to finish up her designs and convince Bridget to let her wear that necklace from Cartier", Soobin added
"I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem. Bridget would love to be in the middle of attention. Once Lia and Yeji manage to convince the directors of Cartier to lend them the necklace. It'll be a good to go sign", Beomgyu commented

Lia walked back into her bedroom to continue her sketch. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, "Omg, Chaeryeong is that you?"
Chaeryeong ng turned around from looking at the mirror, "Yup, Yuna went shopping with Taehyun and she chose this dress for me to wear at the Gala. Not sure if it looks good on me or not"
"It looks great! The other girls can help you do your hair on the day. Now go change, I don't want anyone else seeing you in the dress now. It's going to be a surprise", Lia giggled
She sat down at the desk and finished drawing the necklace on the paper.

——

"Lia! Dinner's ready, come down here", Ryujin shouted
"I'll have the leftovers, I'm still working on this!", Lia called back down
She turned her head as she heard a knock and saw Soobin leaning against the door frame. "No you're not, get downstairs or I'm picking you up", Soobin said

"Try it", Lia blew a raspberry at him
Soobin grinned and picked Lia up and wrapped her legs around his torso. He put her arms around her neck from behind, giving her a piggyback ride. "Soobin! Put me down!"
"No can do miss, I have to take you to dinner", Soobin laughed

He went down the stairs, keeping Lia on his back and walked to the dining room, "Our designer has arrived"
Lia jumped off his back and hit him, "I'm going to kill you"

She started chasing him around the room. Yeonjun clapped his hands, "Come on kids, settle down"
Soobin pulled a face at Lia and dashed to sit down between Huening Kai and Taehyun. "How's the designs coming along Lia?", Ryuji asked

"Well for starters, I only have two ready. I need to finish two more and don't worry I put the necklace in all of them. Also, Yuna can you print out a picture of the necklace for me. I'll need to show it to Bridget tomorrow", Lia answered
"Sure, I'll do it right after dinner", Yuna nodded

——

"Good afternoon Ms.Evans. Pleasure to see you again" Lia said
"Welcome, so we can start off with looking at your sketches", Bridget said
"Well, I have sketched out 4. I have made them in different styles: elegant, cute, simple and fancy. You might notice that in all 4 of these designs, I have drawn a necklace. As soon as I met you, I thought of this necklace. I am very sure that this Cartier necklace will go well on your neck", Lia added as she showed her the picture of the necklace

"It's called The Cartier Royal Pearl. I recognise it, I saw it on the news", Bridget said
"I don't find any problem with wearing this necklace. I like that it's white which means it'll go with any colours. And it's simple yet elegant", Bridget nodded
"That's a relief because I created all of these outfits based off the necklace. I have written all of the colours and materials for each part of the costumes. All you have to do it go over it with your team and call me up to tell me which outfit you would prefer. I will be taking care of your hair and makeup too. I have all the materials ready so I should be done in 2 days if you inform me by the end of today", Lia smiled

"That's wonderful, thank you and I'll call you later. My secretary has your business card, so she will tell you which outfit I have come to decide to wear", Bridget said
Yeji stood up, "If it's okay, we'll be taking your measurements now"
After about 15 minutes, the girls finished up.
"Splendid, we'll be going now. See you soon", Lia smiled and she and Yeji walked out of her office

——

"They're back!", Yuna shouted
"We searched up the necklace and the ring's costs. The ring is called Grace Kelly's engagement ring. It was her engagement ring that a prince gave to her when he proposed. It has 10.47 carats and it costs around 4 million US dollars. The Cartier Royal Pearl Necklace costs almost 100 million US dollars. The total of all the other jewellery on display costs 150 million US dollars", Taehyun said
"Damn, that's a lot", Yeji replied

For now, you should relax until Bridget's secretary calls you. You'll be very busy for the next 2 days", Yeji said to Lia
Yeonjun went downstairs and told them, "Soobin said we need to go over our movements one more time. He printed out a blueprint of the whole museum. He apparently found some chess pieces. He'll use them to represent us"

——

Everyone cleared up the dining table and Soobin laid out the large blueprint of the museum, "First things first, Beomgyu will be going to the museum tomorrow to check the distance of the cameras. Yuna just finished adjusting the angles of the cameras. We need to confirm that it's the right amount of space we needed"
"Great now, let's take this step by step. We start by Lia entering the red carpet with Bridget. Taehyun and Chaeryeong will follow behind", Yeji continued

——

"I think I have an idea of what they're going to do next. They're going to infiltrate Big Ben. They'll set up guards in the next few days. Which will be lucky since while they're busy doing that, we'll be able to easily steal the jewellery pieces", Teddy Park told the mystery man
"I don't have any lead on those two groups so this is the best guess that I can trust. Let's hope they'll expose themselves after they get the news that the jewellery pieces have gone missing", the now labelled 'mystery boss' by Teddy Park answered
