Strictly Professional ~ Onceler x fem reader fanfic

~CHPTR 15 plans and plans~

Thneed Inc had begun using the 'Tuft Taker' for thneed production, things were looking good so far. The earling morning breeze struck your face , immediately waking you up. Since the incident, you hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, paranoia had kicked in you assumed.

Oddly, you hadn't heard a word from Onceler in the week that tuft takers were introduced. You cast it to the back of your mind, today was a big day. The 5th anniversary of Truff Elixir, a party would be held in celebration. Of course, you took to planning the party and the most minute details. After you ate some lunch, you drove to the party venue to check on things.

"Ah! Miss L/N! We meet at last!" A short man spoke excitedly.

"I'm guessing you are the head decorator? How are things going?" You shook his hand.

"Oh just perfect darling! We've almost finished decorations and caterers are set to arrive in an hour" The man showed off the extravagant decorating of the venue. Various colours signifying truffula trees were scattered around the large room , gold balloons hung around the tables. It looked gorgeous.

"Impressive, I shall leave this to you then. Ring me if there are any problems" As you said this, the man nodded and busied himself. You made the decision to call Onceler, since he would be making a speech alongside you to celebrate the allignment between the two companies.

"Hm?" He uttered

"Hello Onceler , I hope you're well. I also hope you were told about the party tonight. You and your family are expected to be there , and you're making a speech."

"Jeez, nice to hear from you. Yes I've been made aware, I'll get my assistant to write up a speech."

"It has to be perfect. if anything involving you gets messed up, I'm holding you personally accountable. Hear me?"

"Loud and clear Y/N. Don't worry, everything will be fine"

"Don't be late, I look forward to meeting your family"

"Don't hold your breath, they are abit of a handful"

"Trust me, I think my family's worse" You ended the phone. Onceler had unintentionally reminded you that you'd have to ring your own family. One thing you hated the most was unpredictable situations, and your family was exactly that. You chose to ring your dad first.

"Hello?"

"Hi dad , you are cordially invited to the 5th anniversary of the award winning perfume Truff Elixir. Please arrive at 7pm for drinks and food. Black tie attire." You read off the revised sheet of paper in front of you.

"Oh, ok. Black tie? Most formal thing I own is a polo shirt" He chuckled, you had seen this coming.

"Theres a suit waiting for you at Greenville Tux's. You have no excuses Ok? Just be there."

"Right ok, you can count on me Y/N!"

"See ya" You hung up the phone. Now came the difficult part.

"Who is this?" Your sister spoke

"It's Y/N. You are cordially invited to the 5th anniver-"She cut you off

"So after all this time, after you leave me in the dirt, you ring me to show off your successes? I don't believe it!" This was expected.

"Not showing off. And I didn't leave you in the dirt, you are 2 years older than me. You can choose to come or not, but I would like to see my niece, what is she. 10? "

"She is, why should I come to your fancy shmancy party hm?"

"Well it's free, and I thought it would be nice for you to get out of the house, we can catch up" You maintained calmness, she had always been this way.

"I'll think about it" She sighed

"Great. Oh and I got you and Ellie dresses, they should be arriving soon"

"Alright. byee" She hung the phone up. At least that was over and done with.

You drove over to the dress shop, you had chosen a particularly excentric dress to wear. You didn't usually wear very out there stuff, but this was a special occasion. And the dress stood out to you the moment you had seen it.

"Everything going to plan so far miss Y/N?" The dress fitter asked you.

"So far so good- Wow , it's gorgeous." You twirled in the dress. The dark green dress was figure hugging and embellished in crystals. It was beautfiul.

"You have good taste ma'am". You chose a pair of crystal high heels to match.

"Thankyou, for this gorgeous dress" You twirled once again, satisfied with your appearance.

Meanwhile, Onceler was choosing a suit from the tux shop, noticing a suit.

"That'll do, I'll have that one please" Onceler paid as the tailor bagged it up.

As the party came closer to beginning, you thought about improving your speech as various hair stylists and makeup artists finished up.

"How about, 'Since I first started the business, I never thought it would've gotten this big. I am exceedingly grateful for everyone who helped grow it, and my gratitude goes to my loyal customers who show the utmost trust in the product they purchase' ?" You asked Sam, who was listening intently to your speech.

"It sounds perfect ma'am" Sam smiled.

"Okay, write that down for me will you? Thanks" Sam wrote the speech down as the stylist's finished up.

You looked in the mirror, your hair was in glamorous curls, framing your face. Your eyeshadow was smoky, embellished with crystals. Satisfied with your appearance, you thanked the stylist's as they departed. You got into the dress, with help from a few stylists. Everything was perfect.
