Pieces of an Amaranth Affection(Fate Collides Series #4)

International Project

Mas naging abala kami sa mga nagdaang araw dahil bukas na gaganapin ang grand ball kung saan ang mga clients namin ay imbitado. They love how their gowns turns out.

The satisfaction in their faces is what keeps me going. Bukas na ang event kaya kinakabahan ako dahil mayroong mga press na mga imbitado kaya siguradong tatanungin ang mga clients namin kung sino ang nag-design ng gowns na suot nila sa gabing 'yon.

While I was preparing to meet our clients for the final fitting, my instagram has a notification. Lumakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko nang makitang tungkol ito kay Lander.

It says that he posted something on his instagram story for the first time. Nanginginig ang kamay na pinindot ko ang notification at lumabas ang laman ng instagram story niya.

It is a picture of him with a man. I guess it is his brother? They have a lot of same features. His brother is also undeniably handsome.

Napangiti ako nang makitang maayos naman ang kalagayan niya ngayon sa Italy. I wish he's doing fine.

Pinagpatuloy ko na ang paghahanda ng mga gowns at agad na sinalubong ang tatlong clients na na-assign sa akin na i-design ang gowns nila. While the other clients was assigned to Danica, Anya and Xavier.

They look so impressed by the outcome of their gowns. It also fits them perfectly. I really did my best to make this gown more elegant as what they requested.

“Thank you so much, Ms. Naih. It's really a pleasure to wear your designs.” Mrs. Sanchez said.

“Don't worry Iha, we will be introducing your designs in press. We'll be wishing you lots of customer.” Mrs. Reyes stated. Napangiti ako at nagpasalamat sa mga papuri at suhestiyon nila.

I just wish that the people will recognize me as a fashion designer. It is a big step for me to finally achieve my dreams. Natapos ang aming meeting kasama ang mga clients ko kaya dumiretso na ako sa office. Agad akong sinalubong nila Anya, Danica and Xavier.

“Let's celebrate! Finally natapos na ang project na ito. This is also the first ever project of Naih!” Anya exclaimed. Pumayag kaming lahat kaya agad kaming pumunta sa bar right after our office hours.

Loud music welcomed us. Despite of the fact that I don't have the energy to party these past few days, I still came along with them. I want to celebrate my first success but I don't feel the need to dance like a wild animal in the dance floor like I used to.

“Come on, Naih! Let's party and enjoy this night.” Pagyaya ni Xavier. Agad akong tumanggi at sinabing napapagod ako at sumasakit ang paa dahil sa heels. They called me Kill Joy, but I just laugh at them.

I sipped a little wine which has low alcohol content. I don't want to get drunk tonight. I don't want to be with strangers, I feel like I would do something wrong..

Why do I feel like it is wrong to flirt with someone else? God, I'm too hook with Lander. I want to stay loyal to him.

Pinanood ko lamang sila na mag-party at malasing. Mayroong mga lumalapit sa akin at sumusubok na kausapin ako pero hindi ko ito ine-entertain. I want to go home instead.

Hinatid ko sila isa isa pauwi. Lasing na ang tatlo kaya ako ang responsible para ihatid sila ng safe sa mga bahay nila. I also knew where they live since I already visit them. Masaya ako na napabilang ako sa team nila kahit ahead sila ng taon at profession sa akin, they never belittle me as an amateur in this field. Instead, they guide me along the way so I would not disappoint my clients.
