Amethyst's POV
Celine brought or should I say dragged me to a nearby restaurant where we'd be having lunch.
I had my ipad with me and didn't let my eyes leave the screen as I checked on some of the designs I made for Fashion Week.
"Seriously, Amy?" she said in disbelief.
"Don't start with me, Celine. Atleast I agreed to lunch" I defended myself immediately.
Celine huffed in frustration.
The waiter took our order and we ordered a drink and steak.
I continued on with checking my work when my phone suddenly rang. I took it out of my pocket and answered it without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?" I answered the calm as I continued to multi-task.
"Good day. Is this perhaps miss Wright?"
"Yes this is she" I said.
"Good afternoon, miss. I'm calling to inform you that the last piece for the upcoming Fashion Week for Lady A"
I stopped going through my ipad and looked at Celine for a moment.
She gave me that 'what?' look and I simply motioned to her that I'm going out to talk on the phone and she sighed but nodded.
"Yes, I'm listening. Please continue" I said as I stood up and made my way out.
"The last design that Lady A has been finished as of today. Would you be the only one to check it or will you accompany Lady A to do so?"
"Unfortunately, Lady A is pretty busy with attending to some other things for the fashion week so it'll only be me to check on it today" I said as I stood outside of the restaurant.
"Okay, then. You can check it by this afternoon, miss"
"That would be great. Thank you" I said.
"You're welcome, miss. I'll see you this afternoon"
"Okay. Thank you and I'll see you soon" I said and let the person from the other line hang up.
I went in the restaurant again and saw that our food had already arrived.
Thank ghad.
"Took you long enough" Celine said with a frown and I gave her an apologetic look.
We started eating as she chat on about the things she planned on doing with her new boyfriend.
I listened but nothing registered to my brain.
Believe it or not, I've never even been on a date with a guy.
I finished eating and but Celine wasn't so although I badly wanted to shove the remaining piece of steak in her mouth, I didn't.
That would make me a bad friend.
And a bad person, I think.
I stood up after she had her last bite.
"It's on me even though you dragged me into this" I said and made my way to the counter.
I gave the cashier my card as my phone rang again.
I answered it seeing it was my assistant.
"Hello, Alice?" I answered the call.
"I'm sorry to bother you during your lunch break Miss Wright but there are files that arrived here in the office and I thought you'd want to know immediately"
"Thank you for the information, Alice. It's very much appreciated" I said.
"You're welcome, miss Wright"
Then we ended the call and the cashier gave me my card back.
"Thank you" I said and turned around only to almost bump into a waiter with a tray of food on his hands but someone pulled me back by my waist.
"Oh. Sorry" I said apologetically then turned and bowed to the person who stopped me from causing a disaster.
"Also, thanks" I said without actually looking at the person then turned my back again to return to our table.
It was in the corner side of the restaurant which isn't very exposed so it's a nice spot.
"Celine, I need to go now. There are important files that were delivered to my office and I need to check on the final piece for the Fashion week" I told her as I gave her a peck on the cheek.
Celine sighed.
"Okay. I'll stay here a little longer to meet someone. You can go on ahead and I guess I'll see you when I see you" she said disappointed and I gave her an apologetic smile.
"I'll see you then, babe" I said and waved goodbye before I rushed out of the restaurant and made my way to my office.
My assistant gave me the files that were sent in my office and I checked all of them immediately.
After about 3 hours, I finished and got up of my seat again then grabbed my purse.
"Alice, I'm going out to check on the last piece for the Fashion Week. You can go on ahead and head home if I don't return by 5pm" I told her.
"Yes, miss Wright" she said politely and I gave her a nod and a small smile before I went out of my office.
I took my car and drove to the location.
I arrived there after about a 20 minute drive.
I got off my car and brought my purse with me before going inside the fashion studio.
"Miss Wright. Just in tine" a woman welcomed me.
"Good afternoon" I said politely and the woman gave me a pat on the pack.
"Come on. Let me show you the masterpiece" the woman said and guided me inside a room.
As soon as the door opened, it revealed a beautiful clothing piece designed by yours truly.
"It's beautiful" I said in awe as I circled the clothing piece.
"What can I say? Lady A is an amazing fashion designer" the woman said and I gave her a smile.
"I think Lady A would say that you did absolutely amazing too, madam" I told her and she gave me a genuine smile.
"You think so?" she said and I nodded.
"I know so because I know Lady A very well" I said although I know all too well that I'm talking about myself and not someone else.
"Thank you. I'd love to meet her one day and tell her how much of a big fan I am of hers" she said and I smiled.
"I'll be send to send the message, madam" I told her and she smiled.
"You're a very lucky apprentice" she giggled and we both chuckled.
Right.
Apprentice.
That's how everyone knows me as.
Amethyst Wright, Lady A's apprentice.
*kriiing kriiing
We both looked at the direction of the sound which was coming from my bag and I searched for my phone.
I saw that it was Amara calling.
"Excuse me, I have to take this" I said and the woman nodded.
I walked out and answer the call.
"Hello, Amara?" I answered.
"Amy..."
She's crying.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked worried.
"I'm in the airport right now. Please pick me up, Amy. I'm scared"
My eyes widened.
The airport.
She's here?
"Okay okay. Stay put wherever you are, Ara. I'm coming. Please calm down okay? I'll be there soon" I assured her.
"Okay, Amy"
"Okay. I'm on my way" I said then we ended the call.
