Chapter 6

Nova looked at her side and was immediately stunned. Camila was lost in her own thoughts.

“Camila, why are you so quiet like that, is there something on your mind disturbing you?”

“Nothing Nova, I just missed home” she replied and gave her a faint smile.

Lucky was curled in her arms sleeping soundly. She must have been really tired to fall asleep. She didn’t even have the energy to look around.

 Soon they reached the apartment and Nova assisted them to carry their bags in to the house. It wasn’t that big. It was only a two bedroomed house, a small kitchen and a living room. It was just enough for the two of them for the time being and when she earns good money she would buy them a good house.

She smiled and said” it looks perfect Nova. I appreciate you for taking your time and getting me this house. All this while she was carrying Lucky in her arms, the child was a bit heavy but she didn’t mind. Instead Camila held her so tight on her chest as if her life depended on the little girl. She placed Lucky down on the couch as she went to prepare her bedroom.

After Camila finished putting Lucky for a nap, Nova touched her hands lightly and said “what are friends for? Anyway just continue decorating this house, I wish I could help but I have a very urgent meeting. I will call you later so that we can catch up. If you need anything just call me, I will be available anytime.”

“It’s okay, I understand my friend. You have already done enough for us today. Thank you” Camila said and hugged her goodbye.

The following day she woke up early in the morning, she was a bit nervous because it was going to be her first time working in one of the biggest players in the fashion field. Due to her exemplary work she had been sent back to the country to work in the headquarter.

A slight knock on the door brought her back to reality and she quickly went to open it. The nanny she had hired stood there looking at her with respect and she felt she could be comfortable leaving her with Lucky.

Lucky was still asleep so she explained everything to the nanny as she went about preparing herself for work. Yesterday in the evening she had made sure to tell Lucky about her new nanny and she hoped to God that she will be okay.

If anything happens to her baby, she will not be able to bear it this time round, it wasn’t enough that she had given up her son.

Meanwhile back at the Hudson offices, Samuel looked at nowhere in particular. He thought that the new designer would have arrived early and as it seemed she was late.

His handsome face was devoid of any emotion. He sat on his leather chair while looking at his personal assistant.

“Caleb, “Samuel called his assistant.

“Yes boss” he replied

“Has she arrived? I thought that she would be here at exactly 8.00 AM. Look it’s already a quarter past the reporting time.” Samuel looked at his wrist watch impatiently. This new designer has started on a bad note.

 He needed to deal with the designer quickly so that he would move on to the next agenda of the day. Now he will be forced to go on the next meeting late.

A man cleared his voice.

“If I may suggest, give her some time. Since she is new, she might have lost her way to the office or something else” Caleb said and Samuel gave him a dark stare.

Caleb was not serious at all, how can he defend her when he knew that she has so many ways of contacting the company.

 He clenched his fists and became enraged.

“For God’s sake, don’t give me that bullshit. What do we have our phone for? Find me that woman immediately or she can forget about the job. I don’t like unreliable people” he almost shouted and Caleb knew his place better, he didn’t want to get on his boss’s bad side.

“Alright”

The moment he turned to leave the office, the secretary called him “Hello” he answered under the watchful eyes of Samuel.

“ Caleb, there is a woman here. She says that her name is Camila Carson and she is supposed to report to work here .Should I send her up to the boss’s office?”

So the woman was already in the company premises? How come I missed her? Caleb was shocked. He had to do things as fast as possible to bring her to his boss.

“Tell her to wait for me “Caleb instructed.

The moment he finished speaking on the phone he turned toward Samuel. He saw that he was patiently waiting for him to talk.

“She is already here, I will go get her” Caleb said to his boss but he didn’t say anything.

 All the same he went ahead opened the door and went to fetch the woman. He didn’t want his boss to have more reason to hate her because she wouldn’t want to be on his bad side.

 After a short while Caleb came back with Camila following from behind. He didn’t get to ask her the reason why she was late since he needed to get her to Samuel as soon as he could to avoid unnecessary situation.

Camila was stunned, the office screamed of elegance. Surely the man behind the desk must be very wealthy.

 There was a dark walnut book case lining the entire back of the office. On the right side there was a black leather sofa shinning pleasantly to the eyes with a fur rug over the back. In the middle there was a lovely mahogany table and a green carpet on the floor.

It was just serene.

Camila obviously looked out of place as she was trying to take in everything in front of her. She was thinking about her very own office
