Always on interviews, TV shows and the rest of them. My designs were trending, and everyone wants to wear Monalisa on her body. I have been working on this project for two years and with my fingers crossed, hoping and praying that the project gets approved by the board. Finally, there was a memo for a board meeting. Ah yes, I'm currently a director in Donald's company and still a top designer. I was all excited about the board meeting and all through the night, I was going through my pitch hoping that my project will get approved. I fell asleep on my work desk while working that night. Donald was done checking up on Joshua when he decided to drop by in my room. He found me a

I sat up immediately and adjusted my gown, curious of the content of the box Donald had dropped on my bed. He gave me a nod to go ahead and open the box.I got out of the bed and grabbed the fruit knife from the table and returned back to the red. Carefully I took off the wrapping and cut the box open, and let out a scream. My eyes met his eyes which were gazing lovingly on me.“You love it?I grabbed the smaller box which and opened it. It was the latest model of my favourite laptop and there was another package inside, it was the latest model of my favourite tablet.“You look so happy. So you love it right?I dropped the packages back in the box, moved the box aside and moved closer to Donald and gave him a lovely hug, placing a kiss on his cheek.

He laid back on his bed and shut his eyes to sleep but the next seconds his eyes were wide open and the thoughts came up again. He quickly sat up and was blank for a minute."What if she is Arianna? I will have to find out if she's my Arianna. I'll have to look for her if it means that I should search the entire resort to find her, I'll do that. Right now, I have to get some sleep" Gavin laid back on the bed and shut his eyes. Few seconds later, he slept off. The next morning, a knock came on door of his room. Gavin tried to ignore the knock but it kept coming. Gavin sat up and yawned. He was able to force himself out of the bed. He dragged himself to the door and unlocked the door and opened it. A fine young gentleman in a blue and black uniform stood before him with a pile of towels in his hands."Morning to you sir" he said."Morning" Gavin said scanning

The next morning, I had my bath and got dressed in a green cargo trouser, a white tank top, a nice pair of white designer sneakers. I accessorized myself with a nice bracelet, necklace and cute earring. I completed my look with a lovely dark shade and a cute black small size school bag. I received a text from Matteo to meet up with him at the reception. I grabbed my phone and left for the reception. Seems like Matteo was stalking me or probably he had set a hidden camera in my room to know what outfit I was going to wear for the fun outing.Matteo was putting on a black cargo trouser, a white polo shirt, same designer white sneakers, and a black men’s purse. I stood still and scanned him from his head to his leg while he backed me talking on the phone unaware of my presence.
