Oneil must be in a good mood or maybe he is just a fool enough to not get hurt on the way Essi pushed him. Gwyneth could only look blankly at her cousin. In terms of feelings, Oneil could go to the extremes. He cannot even notice what he is doing.
“You’re not tired from work?” Gwyneth asked when Oneil didn’t even reply to her polite evening greeting. He’s smiling a silly one while looking at his phone. He doesn’t even notice that he already placed the coat on Gwyneth’s head while Frederick is just standing next to him.
“Sir, your coat,” Frederick called him again.
Gwyneth gave it to the butler and followed her cousin. She’s trying to scrutinize this kind of joy rarely to be seen in her cousin’s face. He could never be this happy if it’s just business. Could it be about Essi? Gwyneth stopped her inner questions when Oneil halted in his tracks.
“You were saying something?” h
It must be the old man's gift that he has to leave first and let the two deal on their own. Mr. Arlelle rushed up with his men to meet another business entity in a golf course. He reminded the two to enjoy on their own before he stepped away from the cottage unit exclusive for him and his family.Oneil was careful in trying to get closer to Essi. And Essi was mindful of what Oneil had to say next. But minutes passed and they were only taking their food and drinks. There was no exchange of words. But Oneil has liked their reflections in the glass. They are like the portrait of a tender young couple that has already known love only to make it stronger from this day onwards. In the glass, he saw Essi trying to hold his hand. He felt his heart warming up. He needed to look at it. Oneil found out that Essi was only trying to remove a fiber of shiny fur attached on the edge of his sleeve."It's so obvious with the color of your shirt," Essi said. "Did you play with the
The next day reflects their understanding. Where simple places become romantic because of the two of them. They shop at Leal Vétement because of Oneil's search to find the resemblance of him and on how he has been as the Riley Ramirez. "You know that you don't have to imitate him, right?" Essi was concerned that he has to get pressured again on trying to mirror himself with the person that Essi has liked. Oneil is Oneil indeed, he could even get jealous of himself. "I'm not jealous anymore. I just want to do this because I started to like that part of me," Oneil said while checking how he looks with a V-neck sweater. "Does this remind you of Riley now?" Essi went to him and held the hem of shirt. "I told you, you don't have to." Oneil still insisted his question. "Well, he hates sweaters the most because of the hot weather," Essi answered. Oneil suddenly lifted his arms like a child ready to change clothes. "Help me," he ev
Oneil has got the best practice to bring out the most comforting disclosure to Essi about Corrine’s tactic. But he still finds his heart beating in nervousness. It is because he is sorry and guilty that a kind of issue like this arises at the fresher times of their relationship. He was silent on the bench at the left bank quays overlooking Garonne. It became a solitary moment for him as if the tourists decided to allot a space for his trembling heart. He cannot express what he feels that he is never sure how to let go of what Corrine has done by now. Suddenly, Essi comes around. Her black hair pairs with the gentle breeze in waves so slow like the green blades of a spring-end willow. “Oneil,” she called him while smiling. He got up from the bench with his enthralled eyes. Essi has proven again her powers of surprising him in the most subtle way and in the most unlikely place. He couldn’t help but call her name too. His hands are inside his pocket, he was careful on his moves. Befor
Grant has finally shown off his power. The terror that has already troubled the other shops and the hopefuls. Oneil can only stay inside his car, sighing at the lengths that Grant can enforce to do what he wants. Concern blares through his face as he tries to look closely at the different world going on behind the glass walls of Leal Vetement. Essi and Geovensia must have known by now what kind of chess piece Grant had moved. Will this make them feel like their dreams are walled away from success? Will this make Essi hate him?“Are you worried for them sir?” Jillian asked while observing the man. Perhaps, if she didn’t showcase her driving talent, Oneil would never get her to accompany him in his other purposes. Jillian has come this far like Victor had, becoming an immediate driver for their boss.“It would be strange if I’m not,” Oneil replied while sinking with the vacant spaces filling the sides of the backseat.“But
There must be something in Mansha that she even has her own people to fetch the guest interviewer. Essi stayed under the parasol outside the Click Magazine Build while looking out for Mansha's people. "How is it going there?" Oneil called while expecting that Essi must be in Mansha's place by now. "They're still not around. I need to wait for them," she answered while visiting her reflection to check if she is still presentable enough after thirty minutes of waiting. "I should send you." Oneil was about to insist but a black car suddenly arrived. "Are you Miss Estelle from Click Magazine?" a man in a suit asked. If he's wearing a casual one, Essi might compare him to Victor. "Yes," Essi said after standing.
Oneil was worried that Essi was staying too long in Mansha's place. He kept on trying to contact her but she was not responding. "I thought something wrong happened to you!" he said and held her hands. Mansha's men still safely sent her back to the Click Magazine Build. It was Essi's request and they are not to be blamed. "Still, they should have sent you home." "But you are waiting here, " Essi said, which calmed Oneil down. "I want to see you first before I go home." "Why?" Oneil also asked her why she expected him to be waiting outside the office of Click Magazine. "I just thought that you would wait for me. I also want to thank you because what you knew about Mansha helped me a lot to get closer to her.” Essi always
The Grand Runway Opening is fast approaching. Geovensia is taking all the pavements just to increase the number of confirmed guests in the list. She intended to invite other fashionistas, some of them are even icons of Parisian couture, and sought for the known investors enthusiastic in the fashion industry. But she could barely make the minimum. The Leal Vêtement has already secured three confirmed guests but they have to approach others more."Who would have thought that Mansha would teach us to not take the shortcut?" Geovensia keeps on reminding herself that if they will go through this process, they will appreciate all the keys and holes that are always around to lead them to the better doors of opportunities. Geovensia is learning now how to reach out to key peoples. It is easy to make friends but to secure their time for the grand runway is another. Presenting to them what they could expect on the runway is a new principle she learned recently.
Like an unforgettable habit, the Old Mercator went out talking with the chief of the Antareses. He begins by talking about how he is dealing now with a small company in which he couldn’t deny that he had a lot of frustrations in it too.His company, Ferdinand Antares, chuckles at having the same experience as his. “I also dealt with one but it's another story on how my war got done with them.” He stopped right there without any intention to say more about that company.But Grant knows about it. That is why he is even more motivated to get the conglomerate of the Antareses because they are outsmarted by the Gautarza Company.Nevertheless, they only beamed secretive smiles to each and laughed again at how a small shop is trying to win against the Mercator Group.
