Chapter 21: The Bra Crisis

  When Catherine came to, she felt rather better.

  At least, that oppressive feeling seems to have disappeared.

  Originally, Catherine seemed a bit resistant to herself, but now she has slightly begun to accept it. Although only a little, but it makes her feel much more comfortable.

  After her mood had slightly alleviated and felt relieved, the originally difficult script was suddenly completed, Catherine became even more excited.

  Back in her dormitory, those chaotic and complicated images that occupied her mind also disappeared.

  Sometimes it seems like I care too much about gender. When I was a man before, I could accept men, so why do I feel disgusted now?

  There's no need for that!

  After her mood had slightly alleviated and felt relieved, the originally difficult script was suddenly completed, Catherine became even more excited.

  She even wants to write another script.

  But she thinks it's better to shoot this script first.

  Equipment and all that, just leave it to Lily and she'll take care of it. No need for high-end equipment, sometimes that can even make the scene look unrealistic. What's needed is that kind of slightly shaky and eerie atmosphere.

  The plot of "Blair Witch" takes place in Burkittsville, Maryland.

  Maryland is located just south of Pennsylvania, although it's a bit of a distance from New York, but if you leave from school, it will be quick.

  When filming, you have to film the whole set. Catherine has even decided to see if she can pull out the locals and fool them a bit, which would make things more interesting.

  But the materials still need to be prepared, and with just a few of them, it's definitely not enough. Lily suggested that she should go and persuade some classmates from the photography club, so that the shooting will be more convenient.

  The shooting preparation will start from mid-February and there are still many things that need to be in place.

  And Catherine also had to return to New York for a trip.

  Recently she had been feeling uncomfortable in the chest area, as if it had grown again, so she had to go buy a new bra - for Catherine, this was indeed an ominous sign.

  Accompanying Catherine back were Ida and Lisa.

  Although Catherine insisted that costumes were unnecessary, as in "The Witch of Blair", the protagonist's clothes are very ordinary and witches never appear, Lisa still had to make a few sets of "costumes".

  "If only it could be more ordinary, our film is a horror movie and we're using the documentary style of shooting, so if the costumes are too exaggerated, it won't work." Catherine finally had to advise Lisa.

  No way, Lisa is extremely enthusiastic about clothes, especially after getting Ada and Catherine, these two high-quality "clothes racks".

  However, most of the time, it was Ida who tried on clothes. Catherine's shoulders were narrower and looked weaker, which was somewhat different from most European physiques, possibly due to her ancestry. Ida's shoulders, although not wide, had a more expansive air about them, conforming to the aesthetic standards of most Europeans.

  *sigh*

  As soon as Catherine returned home, she let out a sigh.

  "What's wrong?"

  Because she's always at school, Catherine's abnormality wasn't discovered by her family, but today Catherine could only sigh.

  "Mom."

  Catherine looked at Emma with a pitiful gaze, as if she were a child who had done something wrong.

  "Really?"

  "Can I... go buy bras for you?"

  Catherine didn't want to buy it herself, but if she went to buy it... that would be too embarrassing!

  "Are you okay? Oh, don't worry about it, Kate. It's normal for your chest to develop and there's no need for me to accompany you all the time. Kate, you have to understand that Dad and I can't always be with you, you must learn to be independent."

  "I'm already very independent."

  Catherine made a bitter melon face.

  In fact, she is quite independent in her daily life and basically doesn't need to ask for help from her parents... well, except when she's being lazy.

  "Kate, buying a bra is not just about the bra, it's a reflection of your social skills. Dear, you have to go out there yourself, not come back with a red face and ask us. Bras are no big deal."

  If it were in her previous life, Catherine would go to buy bras if necessary, but now that she has become a girl herself, she is actually timid.

  "Kate, take a deep breath and summon your usual spirit!"

  Catherine, who had already walked out of the shadow, fell into the "bra crisis" again.

  "This is more than just being screwed..."

  This sentence is Chinese.

  Back in her bedroom, Catherine took off her bra that had shrunk half a size and changed into her nightgown.

  But at this time, Catherine's mind kept echoing two words: ptosis.

  Will droop.

  It's going to fall!

  In less than a minute, Catherine sat up in bed.

  Can't just sit and wait for death!

  She changed her clothes and then walked out of the room.

  Looking at Catherine's determined look, Emma really wanted to laugh, but more was relieved.

  But Catherine was unusually distressed.

  She decided never to go shopping near her home again.

  She took the subway and headed directly into New York City. She decided to look for a small, unassuming clothing store.

  "Catherine, it's no big deal, this is a natural physical need, if you don't wear one... it will sag."

  Becoming a woman is just a little scary, but becoming an ugly woman is really terrifying. Catherine may not use any cosmetics or so-called chemical maintenance products, but she takes her body very seriously.

  In the end... she still lost her courage.

  "Never mind, go ask Lisa for help..."

  Lisa and Ida's homes are not in New York, so they now live in their own company. Although the company started recruiting employees after its development, it is already 5 o'clock now, and they have all gone off work. In this case, there are probably only Lisa and Ida inside, with at most one more Hormone. However, Hormone is responsible for the company's sales and is currently in Los Angeles negotiating agency rights with local companies, so he is not in New York.

  "Kate, how are you back?" Lisa was sitting in her own studio designing clothes at this time. At this time, there were even three employees working overtime - Europeans rarely work overtime, and some don't even do it for money.

  To be honest, the shape of Lisa's designed clothes is not very good, but it feels very comfortable to wear. Catherine doesn't know how to design clothes, but she gave Lisa a lot of advice, especially her sketches.

  Catherine used to dabble in painting for a while, although she couldn't compare with the masters, but she was confident that her copies were not much different from those of the masters, after all, there was already something there. Lisa's ultra-short skirts, many of which were made by referencing Catherine's paintings.

  Now, Lisa is in charge of the main design, while the employees are responsible for making the clothes look even better. That's how it is now. However, Catherine thinks that if there's an opportunity, maybe she can come up with a few decent designers after all, because she doesn't want to be limited to this.

  "Lisa..." Catherine leaned her head against Lisa's ear: "Can you... go help me buy a bra?"

  Lisa was stunned and then burst out laughing without caring about her image.

  "Catherine... you... you actually don't dare go buy a bra?!"

  Catherine's face turned bright red. Fortunately, all the staff were female and didn't raise their heads, seemingly not paying much attention.

  "Alright Kate, give me your measurements... no, I'll just take them myself." Lisa gazed at Catherine with a fiery intensity.

  This should have been a reassuring answer for Catherine.

  But... why did I feel a chill in my heart when I was looked at with such fervent eyes?

  Catherine looked puzzled, but couldn't remember what she had said while being hypnotized. If she could recall it, she would probably be able to guess the meaning behind Lisa's expression.
