Tasha Fashion

Tasha's point of view….

    I arrived at the fashion house at almost 8. The lights were on and all of my workers were so busy. Catherine, my assistant, smiled at me the moment she saw me. She was standing near the weaving machine giving, May, one of my workers instructions.

  "You seem to be in a good mood today?"

She asked as she moved towards me with a huge smile. She was putting on a light strap strike blue and white gown that hung on her body. She was looking so sexy and I felt like having her lips on mine. I tell you what, I am attracted to her and we have done one or two but I can't see myself dating her. She just doesn't strike a good luck with me and after my friendship with Jenny went sour, I did not want to have anything to do with workers or friends so I guess that's why we are not dating already. Maybe this time I'll change my mind? 

   When she started working for me, Catherine and I became good friends and then slowly began to form our own bond. I mean, come on! She is beautiful, smart, funny and she knows everything about fashion and I love when we discuss some new designs or even some old ones. She makes my work here less stressful. 

  "Good morning Catherine, I am in a good mood. You look beautiful"

She blushed slightly and helped me with my hand bag as we headed towards my office.

  "How is my schedule today, right?"

"Not so tight, a little bit. You will be hosting a couple any moment from now, in fact they are on their way. And you will be having a Lunch Meeting With some representatives from Zidat corporation then a trip to the bouquet by mid-afternoon"

  I stopped walking and turned to her,"Why are we hosting ZIDAT CORPORATION?" I asked, a bit surprised. I was not aware of such a meeting and I have a feeling that this ZIDAT has to be the one I know.

  "Ma'am, the company will be having a fashion galore so they want Tasha Fashion to design a few dressings for the company"

She responded and I nodded then began walking again.

     We got to my office and I settled down.

"You look ravishing this morning, can we do something fun?"

Catherine asked, running her tongue over her mouth. I chuckled, shaking my head.

  "I am sure I did not employ you for that."

I stated simply and she waved what I said aside leaning closer to me.

 "Catherine, you can as well go check if the couple has arrived."

I said stopping her advances midway.

  She groaned and withdrew, faking a frown.

  "Alright, just know that you owe me"

She said leaving my office. 

"I hear you"

I laughed out loud and opened the drawer to put the files I came in with. After that, I switched on my laptop and allowed it to boot.

  I was thinking of having a cup of coffee when I heard Catherine addressing someone and it occured to me that the couple I will be meeting has arrived. My office is adjacent to the meeting room. That's why I could hear her loud and clear.

  As expected, she came in to announce the arrival of the guest and I asked her to go, that I am coming after her.

  To be truthful, I don't think I was in the mood to receive any clients and I can't ask Catherine to do it when I am right here. She can only fill in for me when I am not in the fashion house.

  While the laptop booted, I had my eyes on the frame picture on the wall. This picture is 15 years old. Jenny and I took it before we found out she was pregnant.

  I smiled at the memory and stood up picking the laptop with me, I could as well do two things this morning. 

  Walking out of my office with refinement poised, I came face to face with one person I never waited to see again or so I thought. How we keep running from our past, thinking we can escape it.
