My Mom and Mrs Simon together with auntie Grace have been the ones doing the talking, while Clara sits with an uninterested expression on her face busy with her phone. I tried getting up to go upstairs for my phone but my mom stopped me even before I could get up from my seat.
"what colour of roses should we use my dear?" I stiffened knowing I was caught. She is intentionally involving me now because she knew I wanted to leave here.
For the past hours, why now am I being asked a question.
"use any colour or Flowers of you choice, you always know everything" I said with a smile trying not to sound annoyed.
"how I wish my daughter is like you, always obedient" this time it's Mrs Simon.
" am not in the mood for that again mom , this morning's own is enough" coming from Clara.
"excuse me please, I want to visit the washroom" an excuse my mom did not buy. " don't go upstairs, use one of the guests room downstairs" said mom not even looking my way. " I left my phone in my room and it's almost lunch time,I have alot of work at the office" I complained.
"even better and there is no work today for you"said mom.
" next week is the engagement, so you won't be going to work till after that. The designers will be coming to take you measurement tomorrow morning" said auntie Grace
" your destiny is going to change my dear" said Mrs Simon
" Ooooo my GOD" "what is it my dear" I came back to my senses and realised I just yelled. " it's nothing, I just remembered something"
" do not go upstairs, not until everything is discussed concerning the engagement" why does mom hate me so much.
The Simons left after dinner.
' finally, I can now leave here for some fresh air' I thought. I went to the garden for some fresh air before going back to my room. thankfully, I didn't see Raymond till dinner since the men stayed at my dad's office even for lunch. i took I phone from my bed and checked , twenty missed calls and ten messages from 'my emperor '.
I hate it when I get him worried. I called him back but all went straight to voicemail. I will explain tomorrow now it's time for some rest.
the next day...
I woke up early, did my business in the washroom which took about an hour in total. I walked into my closet to get dressed.
" I have to use my female charm today, if not with his temperament , hmm "
I took out a red straight dress not too short but enough to do what I planned on doing. I got dressed with no make-up, but a nude lipstick.
I got down just as the designers reached, each with their own assistant. There where three of them.
" Finally we are done, am starving" I said two hours after each has taken my measurements. I went for breakfast and I set off.
i got to the flower shop in twenty minutes, I spotted Elias: one of the shot attendance.
" hi Elias, good morning!" I waved at him." morning beautiful, he is at the back" he replied. " you are such a darling" I told him smiling " please I don't want to face your angry boyfriend just because you called me darling" we both laughed it off the I left to look for 'my emperor'.
