“Wife, are you finished for the day?” Ben picked up the call and started chatting. “Nope. Just a few little things; I should be done by 5.” Dana replied with a smile. “Ben, what was that call for?” Dana couldn’t help asking since Ben had no intention of explaining. “Wife, I wanted you to know the grief I am suffering because you won’t let me publicize that I am married.” Ben spoke in a pained voice. “Puchi…” Dana giggled. “Wife, I also wanted you to know the type of person Lisa is. This is one of my secretaries and probably more difficult to deal with.” Ben pursed his lips “I have made your life difficult.” “Don’t worry about useless things. They are what they are… the past has already happened. Neither I nor you have a time machine. So, we just have to move forward.” Dana shrugged. “But wife, what if….” Ben was truly worried that Lisa would instigate Dana. “What if we make one?” Dana smiled mischievously as she typed her last document “Then let’s go back to the beginning and l
Ben saw Lisa coming up to him from the corner of his eyes and nodded to Ed. He had promised Dana that he wouldn’t interfere, but he didn’t say his friends would behave. Ed stretched his legs lazily even though he had Lara in his arms as Lisa reached him, he was standing a few feet away from Dana and Ben. Dana was standing nestled in Ben’s embrace and Lisa landed face forward a few inches away from Dana. “Are you alright?” Arora rushed forward to help her up and turned to yell at Ed. She had no idea who Ed was, but she knew Lara. They were competitors and the bitch who got the Peli contract. “You don’t have to fall at her feet to beg forgiveness.” Lara snickered before Arora got her chance. She felt Ed was too handsome. “I…. Major General…” Lisa lowered her head, her eyes brimmed with tears as she lifted her eyes to look at Ed with grievance. Arora paused as she saw Lisa’s attitude towards Ed; She was a smart woman; she knew how to read people. “Ben…” Lisa turned her pitiful perf
Irene paced anxiously around her little workshop; Amber was meant to be here last week; She agreed to be the model for her clothing line for lumier's 'designer of the year' competition collection, but she was not reachable. In a panic she dialed Gail- “Hello” Gail’s lazy voice came from the other end. “Gail, it’s Irene.” “How’s everything?” “Not good… not good…” Irene shook her head even though she knew Gail couldn’t see her. “Do you know where Amber is?” “No. Why?” Gail’s face bloomed with a smile confident that Irene couldn’t see her. “I can’t reach her … she’s meant to be here to try the clothes and make adjustments.” “Sorry dear…” Gail paused “Tell you what…. I will ask her to call you if she calls me and I will also try calling her.” “Don’t worry, Amber might have gone for a break and should be back by the end of the week.” Gail comforted with feigned concern, her lips curling up in ridicule. “How is the jewelry coming along?” Irene asked anxiously. “They are coming al
Dana shook her head with a smile seeing Esmond’s eagerness. She drew a rose and gave it him “Cut this design from this stone.” She handed him the rhodochrosite crystal she picked up “The bigger the better. Also leave two drill holes on the petals at the back “Bigger means?” Esmond was good with his hands, but he needed exact dimensions. “Would you be able to get a 5-8 cm one from this?” Dana pursed her lips. “Sure” “Alright then, make it 8” “Er…” Esmond pulled his ears “When do you need it by?” “Would day after tomorrow be too soon?” Dana wrinkled her brows. “Nope.” Esmond shrugged and muttered as he walked away “Who needs to sleep anyway?” Dana giggled as she handed the stones she had selected. “Is that everything madam?” “Please… call me Dana.” Dana frowned “I wanted a deep pink-brown round stone, but it wasn’t here.” Marcen scratched the back of his head as he took inventory in his head. “I have one, but it is slightly large, about this big.” He made a circle with his ha
Dana worked without stopping. She started with the resin molds for the moon pendant; she filled the molds with all the individual components, a kissing couple mold about 2- 3 cms was filled with a light-yellow resin and deep yellow resin for small flower petal molds. She made the outline for the half-moon with yellow gold; She mixed the deep blue with a drop of black to make the moon. A little bit of gold leaf bits and white dried flower were sprinkled on the lower half of the half moon. After one hour a beautiful half-moon pendant was finished; a flame yellow flower blooming from the lower tip of the halfmoon, from the flower emerged a couple kissing, deep in love. The earring accompanying the set was a simple one, each earring had four small stars hanging one below the other connected by alternating fine white and yellow gold rings. The stars were made from clear resin with gold leaf to add magic. Dana stretched for a bit before starting on the earrings for the peacock set. The ear
Ben pressed Dana on the bed to sleep before sending a message to Tael saying Dana was not coming to work. He turned off Dana’s alarm before falling asleep with her in his arms. Ben woke up 3 hours later by a knock on the door. He left the room silently. Mrs Bentley was waiting outside. “Ben, Madam’s friend is here.” “I will come.” Ben went back to the room quietly and bought the package Dana had packed. Lara was waiting with Ed in the living area. “I regret giving you this painting.” Ed sighed as he saw Ben coming down the stairs. “Too late.” Ben smirked as he sat down. He pushed the sets towards Lara “She just went to sleep at 6 in the morning. They are all there.” Lara took the set happily. “Can I see?” Ed stretched his neck to see inside. “She has arranged it with the dress design. Why don’t you look at the pictures?” Ben passed his phone. “Oh my god!” Lara shrieked in excitement “I am going to be wearing all these.” “Can you bid this set for me?” Lara pointed at the pea
The next topic was announced “2 rounds of Casual in spring” As their numbers were called models walked in with floral designs and bold prints. The accessories were brighter and bolder as well. Lara came forward wearing a lavender jumpsuit. It was plain with a splatter of lavender flowers from the knee downwards. The clear pendant with its borders outlined by a pale lavender color with a dried flower and its buds in the center soon caught everyone’s attention. The whole look had a freshness, somehow gave the illusion of the smell of lavender. The bidding for this set of design and Jewelry didn’t disappoint either. It kept up with the previous trend. Amber came wearing the same model, the look suited her aura; The chain was long, reaching to the belt of the jumpsuit made of large square shaped hollow beads. It was a trendy look. Both sold at the bidding but didn’t reach anywhere near the price of Irene’s set. “Round 2” The models came wearing similar themes as round 1. Some won bid
“Is plagiarism rewarded with first place these days?” A discordant voice broke from the far end of the room. Although the source of the voice was not evident, the topic soon caught on like wildfire. The host had no option other than addressing the elephant in the room. He couldn’t offend the king of hell and continue to live unscathed. So, he tactfully opened his mouth “The scores were based on a lot of factors. If there is a dispute with the design, we will have to take it off the floor.” “Take the award back then.” Someone else shouted “Cheaters don’t deserve to be winners.” Lara spoke into the microphone attached to Irene’s coat “We don’t need to go off the floor. My designer is talented, and I have no concerns about the design I am representing. However, the persons who slandered my designer, I will press charges. Don’t think I can’t find you.” Lara pursed her lips into an arrogant smile “My fiancée is the chief of military intelligence, a minor surveillance at an event like th
