Second chance

Chapter 10

‎The next day

‎Agnus woke up early, by 5 and began getting ready. By 6, she was at her store, waiting and getting everything set for the opening. She expected the day to be busy but she didn't expect another version of her past to revisit her.

‎She was attending to a couple, who needed a wedding gown for the bride when Trish walked in

‎"Miss agnus, I don't want to disturb you but you've got private guests" Trish said.

‎Agnus raised a brow, confused. She wasn't expecting anyone

‎"Who are they?" she asked Trish who replied with

‎"They say their names are Isabelle and Ella" Agnus eyes widened when she heard those names, names she never thought she'd hear again.

‎"I'll go meet them. You handle the couple" Agnus said and walked out of the dressing room. She walked forward and saw them, Isabelle and Ella, sisters. They were her classmates from university and they were among those who wanted to be her friend. They were both the same but now more matured and beautiful still. Isabelle, the younger sister still had short hair that reached her neck, brown curly hair, hazel eyes and chocolate skin like her. Ella had the same features but her hair was black and reached her mid back.

‎Agnus put a smile on her face as she reached them "Hello and welcome to A's boutique" She greeted and secretly hoped they wouldn't recognize her but she was wrong. The universe was never on her side concerning her past. Their eyes widened and Isabelle spoke first "Agnus? Is it really you?" She asked, shocked.

‎Agnus wished she hadn't left the house today, but now she had to face her past again and see if they still wanted to be friends. Before Agnus could reply, Isabelle threw her arms around her

"Agnus! it's been way too long. I've missed you" Isabelle said happily. Agnus blinked twice, surprised. She hadn't been expecting that Isabelle would greet her this way.

"It-It is good to see you too, Isabelle" She d

said, stuttering at first because she was still surprised. Isabelle pulled away from the hug but didn't release her. "You're looking good agnus, so mature and beautiful" She complimented her

"Thanks Isabelle, you are also looking mature and more beautiful".

"Hi Agnus" Ella greeted, saying the first words since the whole encounter. Agnus faced her

"Hi Ella" She returned the greeting.

"I didn't know you owned this place, Agnus" Isabelle stated

"How do you know I own it?" Agnus asked

"Well, Ella demanded she wanted to meet the owner and ask for a private dress. She wants to make connections with the owner but thank goodness, we already know you" Isabelle explained.

"Oh" That was all agnus could utter in that position. Ella still hadn't said anything, just stared at the whole store which was huge by the way. It was two levels. "So this is why you acted so high and mighty back in school. You knew your future was set" Ella suddenly said and Agnus couldn't believe her words. Was that how people saw her before she left? "What?!" She might have shouted a bit but she didn't care. No one had the right to just make assumptions. What will happen next? Chapter 11 coming soon
