Episode two:Meeting Mr. “All high and mighty”1

She reminded me of my mamà’s niece, Fea, whom she had brought home to keep me company before perishing and leaving my brother and I to fend for ourselves. I walk out of the door with Genevieve trailing behind me. “Mrs Red, we had been waiting for you since 6am not knowing you were stuck in your room. I didn’t know you were clumsy a times” she spoke and giggled. I glare at her as I ask“ what do you mean by “we”? “. “ The designing team, I mean” she answered and lifted her head to look at me with her unusually large doe eyes which fited her round face perfectly. We get into my car and the chauffeur drives out of the gates towards the bridge which linked Bronze estate to the country’s main city. Not long after we had left, the car came to a halt in front of an edgy, urban building with an industrial-chic features.We got down and headed into the building . As soon as we entered, all heads turn to look at us and Cara, another designer just like me came running in my direction with a wide grin and it was at this moment that I knew something was going on. “ Sup?” I asked Cara with an interrogating voice. “ oh hun, can you not be grumpy this morning?, she complained. “ Well, I just landed you an amazing deal and I know you are going to deliver just like any other so far” she continued as she walked me towards my office. I kept quiet and listened as she explained the whole situation and ended with a sigh. “ You didn’t land me a deal, you saved yourself by setting a trap for me, how selfish” I spoke and rolled my eyes at her. She looked at me with a pleading eyes as she walked into her own cabin.
