" so, this is it, " voice carries a sense of excitement mixed with hesitation as he motions towards the open plot of land, sun beaming perfectly down on the large space yet to be filled. so many possibilities, endless potential. " it's the perfect location— close to the city, but still spacious enough to feel open. i'm thinking luxury condos, though i guess my dad will have the final say in that, " he adds, brows slightly raised as he glances across at her. " what do you think, can you picture it ? " closed ft. @hadleymonroes
his expression subtly brightens at her response, glad that someone else is able to see what he's envisioning. yet despite his confident demeanour, there is part of him that can't help but to doubt his ideas. which bothers him greatly considering he was practically forced into the family business. " though, who knows ? it might end up being something completely different. my dad has this remarkable talent for raining on my parade. i don’t think he’s too thrilled when i come up with ideas that outshine his, " he teases, gently nudging into her side. " but let's move onto the fun stuff. if you were moving into a newly built living space, what amenities would you most want to see ? hit me with anything— nothing will sound too crazy. "
hadley’s eyes looked over at it all. she could almost see the vision of his now taking shape, with sleek luxury condos rising from the ground, blending seamlessly with the surrounding cityscape. his enthusiasm was contagious, she felt a flicker of excitement for him. the location did have a certain allure. hadley turned to him, nodding her head at his question. “i can definitely see it,” she said, her voice carrying a mix of genuine admiration and contemplative curiosity. “it’s got great potential. the blend of city convenience with that sense of space could really set it apart. but, of course, the final vision will depend on your dad’s input. still, i think you’re on to something here.”
he nods at her words, often makes little jokes but really, he’ll never fully speak about his family dynamic. doesn’t see the point. it is what it is and it will never change. “ well, i find it hard to believe that anyone could overshadow you, and they’re foolish for trying because you have some pretty great ideas in that head of yourself, ” king’s grin widens as he catches onto her excitement. it feels almost infectious. he takes note, some of the completely achievable. good ways to draw in some younger clientele. “ a rooftop garden— i like the sound of that. rooftops always make for a good gathering spot. a few drinks, nice chat. it could be a good communal space. ” or it could be used as a way to draw in extra money if he made it available only to few, options he still has to think over. “ have you ever thought about a job in real eastate development ? ” he teases, turning fully to face her. “ think you might have a secret knack for it. ”
hadley noticed the subtle shift in his expression, a flicker of relief at finding someone who understood his vision. she could sense the conflict beneath his confident facade. “ oh, i can really relate to having big ideas that get overshadowed,” she said with a knowing smile, nudging him back playfully. “ family dynamics have a way of doing that, don’t they? but hey, let’s put the business worries aside for a moment.” her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. “ as for amenities, i’d want a space that’s both functional and a little whimsical. maybe a rooftop garden with a view, or a cozy reading nook with built-in speakers for some music. oh, and a home theater with the comfiest seating—because who doesn’t love a movie night? go wild with your imagination; the sky’s the limit.”
he likes her company, her willingness to throw around ideas. sometimes it's good to have an outside perspective from someone who isn't deeply involved, who can see a vision without thinking about the money signs. " ah, well that's true. sweet treats are in high demand year round, you're probably busier than me. " which again, makes him grateful she took the time to step out with him today. if there's one thing about kingsley, it's that he likes to give thanks where it's due, repay the favour. " you know, i wouldn't feel right about not thanking you properly, " he adds, hand coming up to his chest as a playful smirk begins to form, " i think i owe you a nice dinner for your ideas. lunch, at the very least. what do you say, think you can pencil me into your busy schedule later this week ? "
she knows exactly what a poor family dynamic could be like. and that wasn't something she would've wished on anybody. it was hard and she definitely couldn't fault him for not wanting to talk about things that were super personal such as that. " you think so, huh? well, let me just say. that's really sweet of you to say. " she smiled happily at his kind compliment towards her. hadley wasn't an interior designer but she did like to think that she could have some really good tips at times. " right? who wouldn't like the sound of that? it sounds like such a nice idea. at least it did in my own head, anyways. it could be such a fun hangout spot too, you know? especially when it comes to your super close friends. " the options for kingsley and this place was very much unlimited. " me? a job in real estate? no... i haven't ever really thought about it. i have the bakery and that keeps me busy as it is. " she responded. " but... i'll have to keep it in the back of my mind possibly. i'm not entirely a professional! just a girl who has some good ideas from time to time. brainstorming ideas is always the fun part about these kinds of things."
