“Ready?” Diana asked Lucas as he finished putting on his shoes.
“Yeah.” He replied, getting up.
She turned to the door, ready to leave but was stopped by Lucas when he put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He rested his head on her shoulder, kissing it.
She giggled as she felt his lips on her skin. She felt ticklish in that area.
“Come on.. They’re waiting for us..” She chided him.
He groaned, burrowing his head more. He was still reluctant to let her go.
He was very tempted to tell her to stay with him at home instead.
Reluctantly, he let her go and followed her out.
Lucas told his driver and bodyguard that he’ll be driving the car himself, giving them a day off.
They were to attend a fashion event held by the House of Florence. Not only will it showcase de
Chantal however did not see Diana on the screen as her attention that time was on her model who was still standing in line. She was making sure the outfits looked good, The moment she looked at the screen, the camera was already showing a different angle. “You see those.. Armie designed those..” Diana spoke to Lucas. “Hmm.. Those look good. Do you like it?” he asked. “Mn. Yes.” “We’ll order it from her then..” Diana grinned. “Alright. I’ll choose a few from her line.” “Anything for you love..” He smiled sweetly at her, making her cuddle closer to him. Meanwhile at the front, Florence Hargreave held a folder with paper and pen. She took note of the designs that interested her. Nobody dared to speak to her as she did this. There were also a number of people next to her who had the
The moment Florence heard that Diana’s friend is one of the designers that entered the top 5, she subconsciously paid more attention to the designer. “Go ahead and enjoy the banquet, you don’t have to stay with old bones like me..” Florence told Lucas and Diana, smilingly. Lucas then excused themselves. Diana kept looking around, trying to find Armie, Lucas was only following her. “Ah! She’s over there.” She saw Armie standing close to her boss and a few coworkers with wine glasses in their hands. As they were nearing, they couldn’t help but overhear their conversation. “Mrs. L, if you had sent me instead of her, I could have promoted The Atelier better than her.” A young woman said arrogantly. She looked to be the same age as Armie. “That’s true Mrs. L. Ayah is a better designer.” Another young woman said, smiling at the ot
“Everyone, may I have your attention, please. We will now announce the top 5 designers chosen by House of Florence.” The host announced. The designers were feeling anxious as they trained their attention to the stage. Before this event, they were made aware of the schematics. Other than that they would represent their company, they would have the chance to be recruited by the House of Florence. They were made aware of the benefits they would get if they would enter the biggest fashion house in the country. It is up to them if they would pass on this opportunity and would choose to just stay in their current companies. If they choose to stay, they have to sign a written agreement to relinquish their right to compete with others in the ranking for the top 5. However, there is a separate ranking which would include everyone. But it is very rare for anyone to choose to stay in their o
After Ashley Cavalier announced the Top 5 designers to join the House of Florence, the host then handed certificates to Felix and the envelopes with cheques to Ashley. They handed it to the designers one by one, shaking their hands as well. Although the Top 5 designers seemed like an easy-going group, they still behaved meekly in front of Felix and Ashely. “Congratulations..” Felix told each designer as he handed the certificate to them. “Thank you, Mr. Cavalier..” Quinn said to Felix, shaking his hand after receiving the certificate, bowing slightly. Felix nodded at him as he finished giving them the certificates. He was late in coming to the event so he wasn’t able to see the designs of these designers. He couldn’t gauge their abilities at the moment. Anyways, his grandmother Florence Hargreaves knows what she’s doing. The
Over the next few days, Diana has been busy with school and work on the weekends. The only times she would be able to spend with Lucas was when they go for Martial arts classes and on weeknights when she would sleep over at Lucas’s home and go with him to work at Forrest Research Institute. Nothing noteworthy happened at both places, with undercover bodyguards watching over her, those men with stalkerish behaviors had no way of getting close to her. Henry’s effort all this time has been in vain, making him depressed. He became useless at his father’s company, to the point that he was even fired by his own father. With no income, he was even more depressed. He turned to finding pleasure from women, finally making use of those photos. He started to sell those racy photos to those websites catering to pornography. The staff behind the website were impressed by his skills in photography but they wanted him to show the faces of the women inst
Struggling to get up, he spoke to the man on the seat. “Sir, I know you’re capable of sending men to help me achieve this. I assure you it’s worth it. If I could get him to give me all of their assets, in exchange for his freedom, then my debt will be paid and you will still have more in the end.” After a long while, Mortimer spoke once again. “Very well. Make sure you are successful. Or else, it’s better if I can’t find you breathing still.” “Uuuwaaa… uwaaaa…” The sound of the crying baby could be heard, startling the maids. “Ah.. Is it time for his milk?” One of the maids said. “I think so.. Go quickly..” Another one said. The maid hurried up the steps and went to the nursery room where the baby was. She could see that the baby was waving his hands around, kicking his feet and crying. She checked first if he had pooped or
Alarm blared in the whole building. Chaos ensued. As the men in uniform guided the prisoners to evacuate the building and gather outside, one jailer escorted a prisoner out who was now wearing one of the officer’s uniform. “A car is waiting outside..” The jailer told him. Osmond nodded, pushing down the anxiety down his gut. He knows that he’s committing a crime now on top of what he has been sentenced before. But he was left with no choice. A few days earlier, he received a call from Henry and was offered a deal he couldn’t refuse. Now he took advantage of the commotion to follow through with his escape plan. He entered the passenger’s seat. Henry was already waiting for him in the driver’s seat. Henry drove off quickly the moment Osmond closed the door, getting far away from the prison as fast as they could.
News traveled fast, anyone who knows them or has heard of them would still talk about the incident for days on end. Speculations just laid on top of each other as days went by. “What if that man paid someone to get him out of prison but was taken by the other one instead?” “What do you mean?” “I mean just like what I said. What if he paid someone to break him out and it was arranged for him to escape with those that he paid but instead, it was the other guy waiting for him..” “Eh? So you mean they’re not actually accomplices?” “Yes.. What if that’s what happened?” “How could that be though? Did that mean that his ex-son-in-law found out that he was planning to break out and was waiting for him outside the whole time?” “That’s probably the case..” “So you mean that he planned to a
