After showing Lily guest room I headed to my room and changed to pajamas. She never liked to be in tight dress indoors unless it is a necessary and always made sure of her appearance when she is outdoors as She is a fashion designer and has to carry herself classy and stylish.
I was going to work on her laptop when Lily came to my room. She also changed and sat beside me on the bed. She rolled her eyes at me seeing what I was doing and shut my laptop and glared at me.
"Hey, I was on my new designs.Come I'll show you " I try to open the laptop.
She took it from me kept it away from the bed." Let's talk. I hope you are not mad at me for you know... But I have no other options... I only trust you with my life" she said looking at me.
"It's okay Lily. I already made the decision and happy that it's for you. Now let's wait for the result" I replied taking her hands in me and smiled at her. My next check up date is after two weeks.
"And you have to help me prepare guest list for the opening ceremony. It is in a week remember? " I said changing the topic. Yes my boutique is almost ready some final touches are there. I already hired two assistants.
Our guest list is ready after an hour which includes Jacob and some of his employees who are friends of Lily, our friends , my old customers and of course Lily and Ian too. We went to the living room to watch something on TV. We had some snacks and juice while going through the channel and settled on a romantic comedy movie . Lily insisted that she would prepare us dinner after the movie.
She made lasagne as it is one of my- our favorite. When it comes to cooking she is great. Whatever she cooks, it ended up tastes fantastic.
After dinner and cleaning the dishes Ian called Lily. we call it a day and went to our rooms. Laying in my bed I recall today's events my hand moved to my flat belly and images of Jacob flashed in my mind.
Since the moment Lily add Jacob's name in the guest list she has been thinking about him. His brown eyes and the way he looked at her whenever they met, she feels like there is something in those eyes intrigue her. 'Am I attracted to him? Oh no. Not again. Focus. Just focus your mind on... Hm... On... What.. Mm... Yeah!' Boutique'. Drop all other thoughts and just concentrate on your boutique and sleep' she said to her.
The next day she spent inviting the people for her boutique opening with Lily' 'happy to help on her free time . Fortunately or unfortunately Jacob was not there in his office. He's gone to business trip with Ian.
