Sixteen

The issue with Sheila remained unresolved because as we were about to start discussing, I received a call from the reception saying Miss Crona, the client I was to meet had already arrived. I had to invite her in because with the way the receptionist spoke showed that the lady was not a patient woman .



I sent Sheila to go and retrieve the lady. The moment she entered the office, the first thing she said was she needed the lady next door's sketch. I was confused at first because I didn't really grasp what the lady was rambling about.



"Miss Crona, could you atleast have a seat first?" 1 offered her with a warm smile . She took the seat and crossed her legs elegantly before starting her ramble again.



"So, these are the designs we came up with for your wedding gown and brides maids clothing. All the attires you will be wearing on that day are in this file." Sheila handed her a file with the sketches. She scanned through them but she didn't seem satisfied.



" These are all fine but I want the after party dress to be what that other lady sketched. It has everything I like." she said putting the file down on the table. She looked straight at me asif waiting for me to take action.



"What about this one," Sheila flipped the file to show miss Crona the other drawings of her after gown . But the didn't even look at what the file contained.



" Like I said , I want her design." Miss Crona emphasized throwing sheila a sharp graze for showing her something else from what she desired.



" Sheila why don't you go get Liv here,am sure miss Crona would like to talk to her more." sabortion said. Sounding unshaken as ever. Sheila nodded and started for Liv's office. So Liv was here- I thought as I smirked.



I was worried she didn't show up because Tania had not arrived, but I guess I was wrong.



"Can I get you anything, Miss Crona?" Sabastian asked giving the lady a welcoming smile.



"No am fine, today I have a heavy schedule so I cannot have myself filled up" hearing Miss Crona say this, I wondered how her husband looked like. Oh how he lived standing this woman



A few seconds later, Sheila walked in with Liv trailing behind her. The beaming smile that came on Miss Crona's face when she saw Liv could lit up a room for sure.



"Perfect I want her dress." She half yelled in excitement and pointed at Liv who looked alittle caught off guard with the whole situation.



" We should discuss it first Miss Crona" I suggested. Worried that the lady didn't quite understand how the things work around here.



" What is there to discuss? she has the design, I have the money so making the dress shouldn't be a problem, plus am moving my wedding to two weeks from now. I need everything ready by then." She ordered. She really had an attitude that could get under your skin. " You guys can do that right?" She asked becoming serious.



" Well am sure, the team will be able to get it ready by then." I assured her.



" Great, so I need everything ready five days to the big day, no mistakes." She turned serious at the ending statement. She was scary and sweet at the same time.



" No mistakes, Miss Crona." I assured her. I knew Sheila was dedicated and would get the work ready soon.



" Great then, I should be leaving now." She said. And turned to leave but Liv stopped her. Remembering the essential part of designing.



" Don't we have to get some measurements first?" Liv asked the lady before she managed to escape us.



" Oh right, I almost forgot, you can take my measurements today and I will ask the rest to come in and you can take theirs too." She said " shall we?" She asked



" Perfect come with me then." Sheila took her out.



Liv was going to follow but I stopped her. I needed some sort of confirmation that the deal was still on.



" Liv?" I called her and she halted her steps.



" Yes?" Liv replied and turned halfway to look back at me. I gazed at her straight into her icy blue eyes.



" Where have you been?" I asked.



" I was in my office just next door." I told him. I nodded inwardly. She was next door. Just seconds away. Good.



" Right, am having a meeting in about ten minutes, could you tag along, it could be a good way to start." I suggested. I needed more time to bond with the lady and today's meeting was perfect for a start.



" Sure, but first I have to get Miss Crona's measurements before she leaves." She said me.



" Sure go right ahead I will be waiting for you." She nodded to that and was about to leave when " about last night." I said making her halt again. That's right we had a small tiny bet.



" Yes, what about last night?" I said looking at her face to see if she recalled



" Are you going to full fill your side of the deal?" I asked as a mischievous smile crawled up my lips. " Because I believe I did mine quite excellently if you ask me."



" You tell me, it's you giving the demand" she leaned back on the door frame and gave me that look that she gave me last night when trying to tease me.



" Great, I will tell you after the meeting. Am sure we will have enough time after that." I said and smiled.



After finishing with the Client, Sabastian came in with enough files at hand making me go through each filings. He filled me up with the current contracts taking place and all the necessary updates .

Liv.



At noon, I was coming out of the cafeteria with Sheila when we bumped into Damnon and Sabastian. We had gone on a lunch break after finishing up with Crona.



" Great we found you." Damnon smiled with his hands behind his back. I shivered alittle at his smile, trying to keep myself together. I wonder what it was about his presence?



" Did you need something?" I asked with a composed voice.



" Should I remind you about a certain meeting that needs our attention right now?." He said and I face palmed myself inwardly. I had completely forgotten about it. I was so busy improving Sheila's design for miss Crona's order that I completely forgot about this meeting Damnon had invited me to.



" Right I forgot!" I exclaimed "Let me grab my purse I will be right behind you guys." I said but Damnon dangled the purse in my face with a silly smile on his face.



" Now can we roll?" He asked. I swallowed.



" Sure thing." I took my bag from his hands and we headed for the conference room. I bid Sheila bye before leaving with Sabastian and him.
