book.

No. 39EP4S06P99 Datum 4: 04 shows that house talk happens when Eleanor and Laurel are
talking about the model for the upcoming project. Laurel was a friend of Eleanor and also a partner of fashion business. Eleanor wanted someone who was worthy
of the clothes because it needed to represent Waldorf designs. Then, she remembered that someone who was like her was absolutely her only daughter,
Blair Waldorf. Laurel, from her point of view as a designer, also accepted if Blair’s daughter was able to represent the Waldorf lifestyle. The reason was that
there would be no other model that was better to represent it. Thus, house talk appears as they are talking about a new face for their business. Although they
have friendship, they also talk about business or occupation.
