JOCELYN’s POV

I turned off the engine and rested my back against the seat, taking a deep breath in and then out like a practiced step. I’d left my office about an hour ago for this twenty minute drive but I’d driven as slow as I possibly could as well as had to keep stopping to steady myself and now that I was here, I still couldn’t bring myself to open the car door and go in.

This was three days after moving in with Daniel, and I’d quickly discovered I needed my sketchbook, journals, designs and other necessities I’d left here at home, hence my presence.

“You can do this, girl. Just go in, deflect whatever questions you’re asked, ignore Clarissa’s presence or absence, go into the room and grab what you need.” I said to myself, boosting my morale. I looked behind me, thankful no one had followed me here. I’d driven my car out of the company and somehow managed to deflect the reporters before going to rent a gray Toyota Camry, a car I knew almost everyone drove. Thankfully, my plan ha

    JOCELYN’s POV“How crazy are you going to be tonight?” Harvey asked with a laugh in the car that was driving us to the venue. We were one of the last people at the show venue and when I was leaving, Marcus and Daniel had left already.I shrugged and flicked my tongue. “I don’t even know. I have the desire to let loose tonight.”She laughed. “I admire your spunk. Someone that meets you for the first time will believe you’re so calm and reserved. Does your husband sometimes shake his head when you act like this around him? Oh, he’s coming right? With the other hot friend.”Don’t shrug, I hastily reminded myself. “I’m not sure. If he’s less busy, he’ll be there.” I responded.She sighed and leaned against the chair. “If I don’t see my husband for the next one month, do you know how happy I will be? If only he was half as handsome as yours. At least he’ll be easy to look at.” She whined but I rolled my eyes. She always spoke about her husband like that, but as someone that had witnessed t

    JOCELYN's POVI could have cried. Okay, maybe I was being dramatic but right now, it was like my mood had done a complete one eighty. After hearing the way the sponsors I’d always counted on had downgraded my effort, design, and practically the whole show, I’d been burning with fury because of how I’d felt after hearing them. But either way, now Marcus was making me feel so much better just with his words. I could tell how sincere he was from his face.For the most part, I didn’t need validation from others but for some reason, this one had stung. Perhaps because I was aware how many eyes were on me, waiting for me to fail. Or was it because Daniel had been there as they’d kept on talking. Whatever it was, right now, I felt so much better.“I’ll be sure to send you a personal invite next time. You can even come for the after party today. It’s more fun than business, but I think you’ll also have fun.” Because obviously, Marcus was someone that thrived on social interaction. It had take

    JOCELYN’s POVI weaved between racks of garments, checking each one for the assigned names as well as for tears. I was also making sure they were all steamed to perfection. Even the littlest crease would look so untidy under the professional lights.“Natalie, swap that shoe for the backup pair.” I instructed, as I caught the slightest tilt in the heel she was holding as she rushed past me, muttering something under her breath.Natalie nodded and without breaking her stride, went back the direction she had been coming from. My eyes went to the monitor for the timing and light cues as they practiced again. Because of the time shortage, they had been unable to practice with the models before today. As I watched, there was a micro lag, barely visible, but it had dragged with the music, changing the rhythm. My eyes darted to the soundboard operator. “Restart that track and keep it synchronized.”The models were beginning to file into their changing room with their outfits and a flash of m

    JOCELYN’s POV“I just spoke with the person in charge of the printing. How couldn’t you notice that error until it was this late? I said as I entered my office, slamming the door behind me. I listened to the response while shaking my head because like I’d expected, it was all just excuses. I massaged my brows.“All you’re giving are excuses, you were meant to go through it carefully before sending it out for printing. Because you refused to do your work, we have to settle for using pen to cancel the error. Get your team ready because you’re the ones doing it.”I listened for a while before rolling my eyes. “I don’t care how busy you are or if you have to stay the night fixing your errors. I need it completed in the next three days.”In all our years of planning and executing a fashion show, this would be the first time we would be having errors in the printing of the invitation. As much as I hated the fact the manual correction would reduce the standard, we couldn’t throw it away to r

    JOCELYN’s POV“You should take that.” Daniel said, pointing at the phone that was vibrating on the edge of the table where I’d placed it.I looked at the phone and reached towards it slowly, wishing it would stop ringing before I reached it. Wasn’t it common courtesy that once you’ve called twice, you assume the person was either busy or intentionally trying to ignore you?Unfortunately, the phone was still ringing when I picked it up so I took a deep breath and answered it. The person’s name wasn’t saved on my phone so it was just a number that was showing but one that was stuck in my memory.“Hey Jocelyn.” My aunt greeted in her usual cheerful voice like my cousin hadn’t just recently broken my heart beyond repair by revealing what I really meant to them.“Hey aunty.” I greeted back in a high-pitched tone. There was no way I could fake excitement in my voice so that would have to do.I felt eyes on me and remembering where I was, quickly stood up, pointing at the phone and left the
