CHAPTER 200:NEW LINENS

When Ivana and the girls arrived in the mall, they took the lift that lead to their store room or rather shop. On that second floor people couldn't help but drool over Ivana's beauty. They couldn't understand how she can be that gorgeous and breathe taking when she is heavily pregnant. Some of the men started clamoring about her.

"I wouldn't let her shop alone if I were her husband." One of the man said as he scratched his balls.

"What are you talking about? We are talking about football are you out of your mind?" The other man asked.

"Yes I am," he said as he continued gawking at her.

The one man looked at the person his focus was then said.

"That's the reason why she is not your wife, because that's being insecure." His friend answered him as other people laughed.

Ivana heard every but she had no time for that because that was not her first time hearing comments like those ones. So she ignored them but the girls couldn't help but look at the guys that were talking. Ivana walked to her rented shop and opened the door.

Then entered the room was spacious enough, it was divided into three sections. The first section is where Ivana will be seating, like it was to be her office then the second section is where the girls will be working from then the third section was the store for the linen and everything that was needed.

"So this is the place I have told you about, from today until further notice we will be working from here."

"Woow this place is so nice, and I guess it will bring in new customer because many people comes in the mall to shop." Nekesa beamed with happiness.

"True it's a good place," Gloria said as she checked the sewing machine.

"I want maximum cooperation from you guys, you know that I am having a slight problem with my pregnancy so I will not be supervising you everytime,You need to supervise yourself." Ivana said.

"No problem ma'am I will be reporting to you any misconduct that goes in here." Gloria said.

Ivana received a texted from Charo her driver telling her that he was already at the malls parking lot.

"Take this work serious, if you don't want to work you better tell me as early as now and I will find the replacement for you." Ivana explained.

"Okay Ivana, why can't you sit down and give us instructions while seated. I don't want you collapsing infront of us now." Milka said as she walked towards her to help her sit down.

"No, Milka I am sorry I am not staying with you here today. I want to go for check up and afterwards relax at home. So everyone will be a supervisor today." She said.

"I carried you your lunch knowing that you will stay here with us. I guess you will return with it at home." Milka said while handing her the hotpot that had arrow roots inside.

"Ooh I know you are a caring person, thank you Milka." Ivana said after taking the hotpot from Milka.

"So if you are not here, what is today's work plan?" Milka asked.

"I have the list of designs that you are going to do for the whole of this week. Here is the designs you will be making evening gowns for the wedding and leave the room for adjustment." Ivana said asq she handed  her the book full of different evening gowns designed. So I want you to make the first four gowns. Then if your gowns needs anything to do with embroidery or embedment of beads, you leave it for me." She said then handed the book to Milka.

"Woow they look beautiful," Stacy said as she looked at the designs drawn in the book.

"One thing, take your time, I don't mean the whole of this month. By the end of this week you should be done with whatever gown you select. If you have no idea how some section are cut or fixed seek help.from others. If you all don't know I am a phone call away or you wait until evening that's when you can enquire from me. I hope everything is clear to you now?"

"Yes we are fine Ivana go ahead I don't want yo.u getting late." Milka said to her.

"Okay guys I will be one my way now." She said then left the room. 

When she came out of the lift, she was surprised to find the manager standing outside the lift. 

"Hello Miss Bombwe, I have a message and a gift from one of your friend." He said.

"My friend? Who? And what is the message?"

"Come with me in my office." The manager said then walked away.

Ivana wanted to tell him that she had somewhere to rush to, but she decided not to. She didn't want to sound rude to him. So she followed him behind slowly because of the heavy baby bump. When she arrived in the managers office she was given a chair to seat.

"Yesterday after you have left, someone came in and left this cargo for you. He told me not to worry about his identify because you will know him right away when you unwrap these."  The manager said.

Ivana frowned upon hearing what he said. She wanted to ask the manager to deceive the person but her instincts didn't let her to.

"Thank you will you please ask one of your men to help me carry these to my shop. As you can see I am already carrying another form of cargo." She said caressing her baby bump.

The manager chuckled then signaled one man who came in and carried the cargo to Ivana shop. The girls were surprised to see her back againg, fortunately they were busy doing what brought them there. Ivana thanked the man who placed the linen on the table she had shown him to.

"You bought the new linens again?" Milka.

"Yeah, don't concentrate bon these just go on with your work." Ivana answered without really knowing if it was linen she then unwrapped them.
