As I walked out of his office unable to control the tears streaking my cheeks, I accidentally stumbled into Luke and my bag tumbled to the ground, scattering all its contents on the floor around me.“Great! Today just keeps getting better and better.” I said before squatting on the floor to pick everything up. Luke bent to help me.“Here, let me help.” Luke said “No, it’s alright Luke, it's not your fault that I am a klutz.” I said but Luke remained adamant and continued helping me in picking up the contents of my bag from the floor.“ Oh No Bailey you are not a klutz, it’s all my fault, i was actually coming to talk to you and William about something, so i guess i was in such a hurry to catch you before you left that i wasn’t looking at where-He stopped mid sentence as his gaze fell on my tear stained eyes.“Why are you crying, is everything alright with you Bailey? I hope William did not say something hurtful to you?” He asked in a sympathetic voice.“Pfft.” I said quickly, wiping
As Hazel and I exited the office, we took the elevator downstairs and walked over to the receptionist table where Stella worked. We got to her desk but she was busy with her computer as her fingers danced around the keyboard in a swirl of clicks, it wasn't until Hazel made a “Ahem” sound clearing her throat before she finally took note of our existence.“You again?” she said, basically snarling at me, Hazel gave me a puzzled look before speaking up.“Hello again Mrs Stella, we were sent directly from Mr Armani himself, could you please direct us to the staff’s locker room?” “Ohh yes, he called to inform me not too long ago, please give me a second the…..” She mumbled to herself as she rummaged through the stacks of papers and files on her table rifling through its content with focus, searching for the mysterious document or file. “Found it! Here you go.” she said, handing Hazel a pamphlet that had their company’s logo on it. “If you open to page 5, you’d see a detailed map of the en
I rubbed my eyes before glancing at the clock on my nightstand, it read noon. Wow! I never sleep in. Yesterday was too exhausting, I wanted to go back to bed but I knew I had to get up if I intended to meet John before he started his daily crankiness and also before the club officially opened for the day.I headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth before taking a quick bath. I entered my room afterward to change into one of my old ripped jeans and a white sweatshirt. I put on my white Crocs to match before deciding to take my tote bag instead of my usual purse.I walked into the kitchen, placing my bag down in a corner of my small counter as I moved around the kitchen trying to decide on what to make. I decided on a packet of Samyang ramen which was my usual go-to meal. It was ready within a few minutes, I sat down on my couch to start eating from my bowl as I scrolled through my phone.I made a mental note to tell Shayna about how much of a jerk William was since she practically h
Ring…Ring… I jumped out of my bed like my ass was on fire. I glance at the clock and I just have an hour and a half before Luke comes to pick me up. I wonder if William told Luke about what happened yesterday and if Luke was picking me up just to scold me.I dash into the bathroom and do the necessities. Once I was done with that, I styled my hair into a center-parting ponytail and lotion my body before opening the cloth bag Hazel had sent earlier.I put on the black with white polka dot A-line gown that stops a little below my mid-thigh and It had see-through long puffy sleeves. I paired it up with the black thigh leather heel boots and a white cute bag placed in the shopping bag.I loved the outfit but there was no time to admire myself in the mirror. I spritz on perfume before rushing to the kitchen to have toast and my daily dose of mocha.Once I was done, I washed my plate and mug and made my way down to wait for Luke.Luke arrived not up to a minute later and I got in the car a
I dozed off in my outfit immediately after I got home yesterday and it wasn’t until later when I woke up that I changed out of the clothes.My ringtone stirred me from my sleep and I reached out for it on my nightstand half asleep as I slid accept on the screen. This has become my morning alarm wake-up call each day“Good morning Bailey.”“Good morning Hazel, you’ve got to stop calling me so early.” I groan yawning.“I’m sorry. I just wanted to let you know what I have planned for your schedule today.”“Alright, lay it on me.”“You have the other half of your wardrobe shopping today-” she says and I interrupt her with a groan. “-Today’s shopping will also include make-up.”“I don’t use make-up that much, so we don’t need to get that.”“Okay, so I’ll scratch that off.” We are also doing hair and skin products and we are meeting a designer who is going to take your measurements for your event outfits and also for any other outfit you’d have to wear. Don’t worry Bailey, today’s shopping

After messaging May, I hopped into the bathroom to have my bath. I spent a little bit more time in the bathroom under the shower before coming into my room to apply lotion on my skin.Hazel came over yesterday when I wasn’t around and helped me arrange my new wardrobe, I am super grateful for her. She already grouped clothes that go well together. My wardrobe was filled with basically only designer clothes.I pulled one out of the wardrobe and placed it on my bed. I decided to curl my hair today so I started that first by putting in the pins and rollers before making my way over to the kitchen to make egg pancakes for breakfast.I open the drawers and mix the flour, sugar, milk, and eggs. I get my pan ready for frying. After frying, I place the pancakes on two separate plates because knowing Hazel I doubt she has had anything to eat this morning with the workload she has. I covered the one for her with a wrap and dug into mine.After eating and washing my plate, I walked back to the r
The lady from earlier walks back to our table. “Hi, My name is Calla Magnolia, the owner of this bakery and Mr. Armani informed me to go with anything you wanted Mrs. Simmons so we are just going to jump right into the cake tasting.” She says and I nod as Shayna hoots while I roll my eyes at her.Calla excuses herself for a minute before returning with multiple carts and a bottle of wine which she places on the table.“So I am going to give you all notepads." She says handing us all a small pad and pen.“You’re going to rate the cakes from the best to your worst to help you choose the flavor that you all liked best and then the bride-to-be gets the final say,” she says and we nod.“I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you are getting married, I am so happy for you kid,” May said as we all walked behind Calla.“Thanks, May,” I said, giving her a fake smile. My heart grew heavy and I wished I could tell May that this wasn't a real wedding but I knew I couldn't.We walked into
