"Sure we would love that" Eva responded hurriedly.
"Please come with me to my office" he demanded.
"Sure"I replied. Holding my bestfriend Eva's hand we walked to his office.
On the left hand side of his office was a deign studio where his designs are made.
He pulled a drower and took out a set of instruments and a plane white sheet.
He asked me to describe the dress I want orally as we watched him sketch the dress and eventually turning it to a splendid wedding gown on paper.
" wow ... Just the way in want it" I acknowledged his work.
