"How do you know him?" Rex questioned.She shrugged. "He's a son to my mother's friend." she said plainly."And the interchange between both of you was what?"he asked as his knuckles tightened on the steering wheel.
"What interchange?I was defending you." Kylie said getting irritated by the questions.She heaved in relief when he parked the car at the parking lot of the company.
"I'll call you." he said to her as she stepped out of the car. She didn't even want to respond to him. Her mind was crowded with the words of Leo as she walked into the company and into the elevator."I expected more." his words flashed across her mind. How dare he?! How dare he ridicule Rex that way. She fumed.

Kylie looked over each fabric of designs in front of her. She had pushed them into bringing out the extreme best they had in them.Their designs were indeed very good than the last time. She felt each sequin of the dresses and smiled. The embroideries too were perfect. "I'm very much pleased with what I'm seeing and I must confess it's a job well done." she said and they beamed with smiles."Thank you very much ma'am." they said in one accord. Kylie nodded. All she needed was a significant look that stood out just like the combined design with Anna's pattern. She needed a brainstorming idea just like that but she was too distracted to think. She turned to leave but stopped. "Lest I forget,Every sketch design that you feel is not worth making,should be torn into pieces,bits by bits before throwing it into the wastebasket. Am i clear on that?" "Yes ma'am." They chorused and she walked back into her office.She rubbed her aching neck. These past

His housekeeper Helen,walked into the room. "Sir,you have a few guests waiting for you downstairs." she said."Did they say who they were?" he asked.She shook her head. "They wouldn't say." she said.

"Go." he said and she slightly curtsied and walked away.He stood up and walked out of the study room. He walked down the length of stairs and saw Gory and Oliver seated on the sofa.

She looked away making herself understand that she disliked this man and was only getting married to him because of her mother.He sat beside her and she could feel her stomach churn again.
