Chapter 54:The Wonders of a Workspace

"Can I come in Charles?" He nods, "Yes yes of course, Victoria you don't have to ask I mean-!" He faces me and our eyes lock. I can see the bags that hang from his pale eye-lids, as he doesn't look away. An Ocean of mystery guarded by the depth of waters. They are so beautiful even with tiredness that burdens them.

He finally looks away, "I mean you can come in at anytime Victoria plus I would love your opinion every now and then. I know I'm your Seamstress but sometimes I'm not sure if the design will fit the style you want at the moment." He gazes out toward the dance studio furthermore, I look back and fourth at what he's entranced by.

I wave my hand, "Charles. Hello Charles are you-!" He snaps out of his seamless daydream and blushes. "S-sorry Victoria I was thinking about something. I've been kind of distracted lately." He sighs going over to some papers on a desk.

He flips through them and I walk a bit farther into his workspace. I observe the images on the walls and sketches of paper in a slightly cluttered but organized way. They hang the from dark dressers, of his.

I smile and he turns to me again, "Victoria can you come look at these for me?" "Oh of course." I walk over to Charles much closer than I realize and I cock my head at the sketches.

Puffy skirts and Academic

Suspenders, all of the sketches have elaborate detailing and bold but subtle colors.It's amazing and I can't keep my eyes off them. The creativity and energy I can see all of that in a sketch. Charles really does work for hundred.

I glance back at him ad he blinks dimly at me, drifting his body back and fourth. He doesn't say anything about my reactions but instead continues to drift. I feel terrible for Charles, I can't imagine the amount of sleep he's been losing.

I reach out my hand to him but I stop when I see one dress on the wall that catches my attention. A red dress, a dark red one that reminded me of Victor's secret ring in a way.
