Old enemies new friends

Chloe's POV

Max and I make our way to the modeling agency of our beloved childhood friend Victoria Chase.
I want to throw up even though it was sarcasm that sentence would have killed me a few years ago.
Max is dressed in a nice black dress and wearing high heels that almost makes her as tall as me.
Her hair is loose and gracefully falls over her shoulder like a waterfall.
I'm dressed in a pants suit since Max actually wanted me to dress nice for this. I think she wants to show Victoria that she can suck it.
I love her for that.
We walk into a fancy building and we are greeted by the lady behind the desk. No way is that.
"Courtney?" Max asks.
"Max no way. Victoria said she hired someone from our teenage yesrs but I didn't expect to see you here. You look amazing."
Courtney stands up from behind the desk. She looks amazing. She has this cute pixie haricut wich she rocks actually and she's wearing a soft pink summer dress.
She hugs Max thats when her eyes fall onto me and she freezes for a moment.
"Chloe? What are you?" Her voice is shakey and nervous. What is wrong with her?
"Well I'm marrying that dork."
Max blushes and shows Courtney the engagement ring.
"Wauw I knew there was something about you two but this. It's beautifull."
"Thank you Courtney.
So where is Victoria?"
"She's in the back. Follow me."
She gives us a warm smile and turns around.
We follow her to a room that gives me a weird vibe like the dark room I can't help it. Every photography studio reminds me of that room but I have managed to fight it and ignore the issolating feeling.

"So how did you end up here?"
Courtney her muscles tense for a minute and relax again.
"After jefferson got linked to the druggings most of us went our seperate ways. Blackwell had a bad name and staying would be a disaster for all our futures. So Victoria started modeling and started her own company short after. She called me one day and asked me if I wanted to work for her as a business partner. You know Victoria good with fashion, numbers not so much."
We chuckle and continue explaining what Max and I have been up to.
Courtney seems to be more interested in me than I would like to be honest.
I see Max giving Courtney a warning look when she asks," So do you have anyone in my life."
She shrugs and shakes her head.
"Nope married to my job I guess.
Well here's her office good luck."
Good luck? She gives us one last look and walks back to her desk.

Before entering the room Max kisses me pasionatlly. It almost makes me forget we are in Victoria's agency when I slide my hand towards the zipper on her dress.
She stops me in time and I return to reality.
"What was that for?"
I question raising an eyebrow.
"To remind you what is waiting for you tonight."
Sploosh. Goddammit Max why do you torture me like this.
She knocks on the door with a golden plate on it saying,"Victoria Chase"
Must make her feel special to have her name on something.

Max's POV

Victoria opens the door and my whole body feels weak for a moment. No this can't be Victoria.
She looks exactlly what you would think she would look like. And Instagram model.
Her hair is long and dyed in some sort of deep silverish color I have to be honest about it and say it looks great on her.
She's wearing a silk blouse and tight jeans with expensive louboutin heels.
"Max Caulfield it's been so long."
I force myself to smile.
"It's nice to see you Victoria."
I nearly choked during that.
Victoria leads us into her office.
There's a painting of her in a long red dress on the wall. And some other pictures of her posing for magazines.
I saw her from time to time on some cover but I never really payed attention to it.
Ofcourse she would have herself hanging on her wall. I look around one more time and see a wedding photo.
"Is that Nathan!" Chloe exclaims.
"Yep we got married last year."
She says that with pride. I guess they really love eachother then.
"He's taking Viola and Chase to my parents."
"Your children?"
"Yep age 3 and 1."
She takes the picture from her desk and hands it to us.
Chloe and I look at the familie portret. They look so happy and in love.
Their children are even cute. I can't believe I'm sayin this about Nathan amd Victoria.
"You must be proud."
"Thank you I am. About you two though. The whole fashion world is upside down by your proposal Chloe."
Chloe turns red and sinks a bit in her seat. I take her hand.
"How do you know?"
Chloe asks with a bitter voice.
Victoria raises and eyebrow and leans forward folding her hands in one another.
"I don't think you guys know how big you are, especially you Max."
She types something on her keyboard and turns her screen towards us.
Chloe squeezes my hand.
There's a picture of me and Chloe walking hand in hand. The title reads:
"Max Caulfield engaged?"
I browse the article it's just a bit info about me and Chloe. How they think we met and the usual crap. They never get it right.
I roll my eyes and look back at Victoria.
I didn't know we were such big news.
Victoria smirks.
"Trust me you guys are icons, people look up to you two."
Chloe opens her mouth before I can.
"Thank you Vic but can we please cut the crap and get to business."
I elbow Chloe and look at her as a sign for her to shut up. What got into her.
"Alright."
Victoria didn't even comment about Chloe naming her Vic. She really did change.
Victoria pulls out a hella big binder and opens it infront of me.
"I'm going to get out of here this is not really my field of work."
Chloe says. She gives me a quick kiss and walks out the room.
"I'm sorry I don't know what her deal is today."
"It's ok I deserve it. I made you guys miserable for years and I regret it."
Wowser Victoria I never expected to hear those words from your mouth you really have changed.
"You really have changed."
"I had to. Everything that went down 5 years ago was a wake up call for me.
I learnend that the world isn't all about me. So did Nathan."
She shakes her head and wipes away a tear.
"I'm sorry can we just focus on the job now?"
"No problem. Show me what you got."
