CHAPTER 20NEW“Are you ready?” Justin asked her as he put the last luggage in the trunk of his car. “Your other things already arrived at my place this morning.”Ria and her family got out earlier than their actual day of leaving.She nodded as she looked up at the building where she lived and stayed hidden for the past years. She felt a sudden nostalgia and at the same time, sorrow. This was where Lumiere grew up.She took a deep breath and walked to the front seat of the car. It was the best decision to leave. Besides, Grant and his parents won’t be bothering her anymore. Grant never leaves a text or call and it means that their connection is really over.They never had anything to start with. Being with him is just pure business and nothing more.Gwen and Lumiere sat in the back seat. While Justin started the engine and went their way to their new place.Ria once again looked at t

She was ready for the self-introduction but the head of their department never spoke more of who they are and what is their job.Even Ashley gave her a confusing look like asking her โIs that it? It feels like we wonโt feel at home here.โAshley was an average tall young lady around her age. Her vibes are so bright with the rainbow dress she wears. Even her curly hair was full of rainbow clips.Their department head, Miss Hanna, faced her. She was wearing a tailored suit that accentuated her slender body, topped with a silk scarf to match her outfit. Her hair was styled in a sleek bob that made her look younger than her real age. She was the one who interviewed her yesterday.Miss Hanna looked up to her so she could see her face clearly

She just got fired on her first day at work!She began to go to the direction of their bossโ office but was held by a coworker.โWhere are you going?โ Worries are painted in her eyes. It was Miles.โIsnโt it obvious? Iโm going to confront her.โโAre you out of your mind? Sheโll be madder if you do that.โโWell, apparently, Iโm already fired. So, I donโt work from her right now.โMiles could not do anything but to let go of her arm.Ria finally opened the door and let herself in without permission from the owner of the office.โExcuse me?โ Miss Hanna looked up at her from her seat.The table was overflowing with the fabrics that she delivered a while ago. Others were slightly scattered on the floor and edges around her working table.โI wanted to tell you that I did what you told me and even did it maybe four or five minutes earlier.

They just saw that Justin, their director, drink the glass for her, and saved her from getting drunk. He even bought him a Sprite.โWhatโs with you two? Looks like the director is into our darling, Ria,โ France giggled.And Ria just laughed it off.โOh.โ Ashley stared at her with a teasing look. โThe director just drank your glass. I wish he would drink mine.โRia just smiled plainly. She doesnโt want to make herself special. She and Justin doesnโt even have a special something going on between them. They are just friends.The party was a blast. Ria came to know a few things about her coworkers. They have enjoyed delicious wings and drinks, and even each otherโs company.These people around the table were happily holding bottles and glasses, raising their toast to their arrival as new members of the team.

The rolls of fabrics were still in her arms, as she went near him.โYou got some serious headache, huh?โBut deep inside her, she felt guilty. Everyone is getting busier since the day their model, Bianca, rejected to return. Almost all of them were getting headaches because of the stress. They were rushing everything to meet the deadline.โWell. Itโs been like this for a couple of days now. But donโt worry, darling. Itโs always like this with the last two weeks before the events.โ France looked at her. โYou were watching the modelsโ auditions?โShe nodded.โWhat can you say about it?โโMiss Hanna sure is strict.

Is she pretty?โโSheโs the prettiest girl in the world!โ Lumiere exclaimed.Gwendolyn raised her eyebrow. โI thought I was pretty in your eyes.โโYes, you are. But my mom is the prettiest.
