EP 1; Placing the coffee mug on the glass table, "you know what darling, girls like you who always try to run away from dating and relationships, always end up falling in love at the end." 

Letting out a brittle laughter, "grandma I think you're under the influence of fairy tales. Or did you watch Cinderella cartoons before coming?" 

"Huh? I can't even remember the last time I watched fairy tales movie." 

"Then why are you talking bout dating and relationships? Because I know am not interested in them" 

Raising her eyebrows, granny Mathilda burst into laughter.

Scowling her face, "grandma what's funny? I didn't say something funny" 

Slightly pinching and pulling bianca's cheeks, granny Mathilda chuckled, "yes dear, you just said something funny." 

Frowning confusedly, "how?" 

Taking a deep breath, "first of all, let me tell you something." She sat up properly and faced her. "Do you know that old men and women of my age  still goes into relationship?" 

Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, Bianca threw her hands in her mouth and gasped. "Ahh, you gat to be kidding me grandma" 

Nodding her head, "no darling, am not kidding, am talking legit." 

"But why do they have to go into a relationship when they're old and weak?" Shrugging her shoulders, "weird" 

Flicking her forehead, "oh you haven't heard of old people dating sites?" 

Frowning confusedly, "old people dating sites? No I haven't and why is it?" 

Chuckling, "okay I'll tell you" she whispered and explained. "Every woman needs a life partner, whom will watch over her, protect her and support her till the end of time. So no matter your age or who you are, you still need a partner." 

Sitting up properly, Bianca helplessly shook her head. "But it's not in my gene to date anyone right now, because–" placing her hand on her chest, she gave a doleful look and added, "I don't wanna suffer another heartbreak, please feel my pains" 

Patting the top of her head, she chuckled. "I do feel your pains too dear but heartbreaks are also part of life" 

Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, "huh?" Bianca shouted shockingly.

"Uh huh, if you didn't date someone then how do you experience heartbreaks? Or do you just watch them happen in the movies?"

BREATHLESS [A story that will touch your soul]

Explaining the illustrated sketched diagrams of various gown dresses in the projector. "A gown, from the Saxon word, 'gunna', is a usually loose outer garment from knee- to full-length worn by men and women in Europe from the Early Middle Ages to the 17th century, and continuing today in certain professions." The female employee explained.


Swiping sideways, she continued. "This type of gown as we all know, is called a 'banyan' gown, and it was mainly worn by men in the 18th century only as an informal coat." 


Rubbing her chin, Bianca nodded. "Tracey, outside the banyan gown, I want to really understand the main gown dresses worn today." Sitting up properly, she crossed her hands on the table. "You know in our today's world, business people usually prefer simple dresses than gowns, based on their professions, so tell us cause and the terminology of it." 


"Yes ma'am" swiping further, she explained. "The gowns worn today by academics, judges, and some clergy derive directly from the everyday garments worn by their medieval predecessors, formalized into a uniform in the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. Talking about the terminology, it's basically about the modern gowns in our world today. A modern gown refers to several types of garments. It can refer to a woman's dress, especially a formal, or especially fancy dress. It may also refer to a nightgown or a dressing gown. In academia, gowns are also worn for various occasions." 


Clapping their hands together in unison. 


Clapping her hands together with a satisfying smile on her face. "Impressive, excellent" intertwining her fingers on the table. She asked Tracey to sit. Looking at everyone's faces, "as you all know, the fashion gala is around the corner, am I right?" 


"Good, I want us to make an exceptional pattern of evening gown, which will be worn on the gala. And as for the males, I'll send your dress codes to your various departments heads. For those of us who still mistakes evening gown from dinner gown, there's no difference between them. Because they're likely the same. An evening gown, evening dress or dinner gown is a long dress usually worn at formal occasions. So let's take this gala a formal occasion and make formal dresses for it. Am I clear?" 


"So any questions? If you have a question, you can ask me now" 


Raising her hand, an employee stood up, "but ma'am, about the upcoming fashion gala, what's the fixed color and design?" She inquired and sat down. 


"Well about the fixed color, I think it should be any color of all colors. And as for the design, I'll discuss that with the design department." Pausing for a while, she added. "The dresses are going to be out for sale immediately they're showcased. And as you all know, our company is one of the most patronized brands in the states, so let's work together and make this new dress the best of all. Is that taken?" 


Nodding their heads in satisfaction, "Yes Boss" they answered in unison. 


Arranging the documents, "all right, you all can get back to work now." 


The employees stood up, packed up their files and left the conference room.
