He Thought Far Too Highly Of Her

Elle had a very stressful day between getting the lawyer's call and having to go to dinner with Royce Dawson. She called Cherry in a panic but she was booked for the day so she called in a favor with a friend who was also a stylist. 

She really ought to learn how to do these things herself so she didn't always have to freak out at the last minute. She was sure Cherry would love to teach her when she had the time. 

Now that Elle had nothing but free time, she should try to see when she was available. She would need to know how to do her own hair and makeup sooner or later. Get some better clothes too. 

Going into dinner, she expected an interrogation so she was able to hold herself together. All she had to do was answer questions. Like internship interviews. She had done plenty of those. And she already had the job, so to speak, so there wasn't as much riding on it.
