CHAPTER NINETEEN
Few months ago …
I looked at the infamous top floor in awe , it was my first time there and I couldn’t get my eyes off the furnitures
“ Good morning ma’am “ The secretary greeted
“ Good morning sir , I’m miss Paley the lady who –“
“ oh Miss Paley from Fashion department [I]?” he asked
Of course , who else bears the last name Paley and works in the fashion department ?
“ yes sir “ I answered
“ ok then , Mr Black said to let you in , please go through that door “ he said pointing at a huge door
“ Thank you Mr chest “ I said walking into the office .
Mr Chest is definitely the most hardworking employee in BLACK but sometimes I can’t help but wonder if he likes his name , I mean what if his parents had decided to name him boobs or titties instead of Chest ?
Ok Laura you got this , I counted 1,2,3 in my head before opening the huge door .
I entered and saw Mr Black seated with a glass of wine in his hand , a slow jazz music was playing on the speaker in front of him , he closed his eyes as he was humming to the beat .
Wow , rich people really have good lives , don’t they ?
“ umm Good morning sir “ I greeted and he opened his eyes , he looked at me for a minute before putting on his glasses , after adjusting them perfectly his face lit up in a beautiful smile .
Mr Black is a very handsome man , no doubt .
“ To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from a gorgeous lady like you ?” he asked
Did he just – he just called me gorgeous
“ Umm I’m Miss Paley from Fashion department [I] “ I said
“ oh you were the one who prepared that beautiful project ?” he asked
“ yes sir “ I said
“ Please have your seat “ he said and I quickly sat my ass down
“ I must say that kind of proposal could have only come from a beautiful person like you “ he said and immediately blood rushed to my cheeks .
“ uhh thank you sir “
“ You must be wondering how I got to review your proposal “
“ Yes sir I was so shocked when I got the message , I mean I had no idea that you could check out my proposal “ I said nervously
“ I sometimes check discarded proposals and I happened to stumble upon yours , I must say I was swept away by the exquisite words you wrote “ he said
“ Thank you sir “
“ And the title , I mean I want to know , How did that title come to life ? The midsummer dream “ he said and I laughed
“ It’s The Midnight Dream sir “ I said .
“ oh pardon me “
“ Honestly sir the title just came to me , it’s a kind of inspiration that I can’t even explain the source “ I said
“ ok then , can you tell me all about this Midnight Dream ?” he asked
“ of course , Can I ask you a question sir ?” I asked
“ Go ahead “
“ When the clock strikes 12’0 clock what comes to your mind ?” I asked
“ Ummm , that’s it’s a new day “ he said
“ Exactly , The Midnight Dream speaks about a new dream , a new hope , a new ignition of sweet flame “I said
“ A new hope ?”
“ Yes sir , Even if you’ve been downcast , hurt , disappointed … Midnight starts a new day , a new dream “ I said
“ Wow Miss Paley , can you explain how this Midnight Dream connects with the dresses you make ?”
“ Ummm … Dresses are not just a simple fabric put together to make a person look good , a wise man once said as you dress you shall be addressed . A dress is the pride of a lady , a dress is a the scepter of a lady and most especially a dress is the appearance of a lady “
“ A princess is identified not just because of the tiara but the beautiful gown that is on her , a bride is identified not just because of her wedding ring but the white long flowing dress on her . A dress is simply the identity of a woman , How would it feel if people with lost hope wore a dress that screams hope?” I asked
“ How would it feel if people wore a new dream as their identities ?” I asked and Immediately Mr Black started clapping
Wow ! I just said that
“ Miss Paley I must say , you are a woman of many gifts , not only are you pretty even the words that comes out of your mouth are pretty as well “ he said and we both laughed
Isn’t this the third time he has called me beautiful today ? I think I’m gonna pass out .
“ thank you sir “
“ That was a very beautiful presentation , Hope … hope is what lot of people need right now , a new hope to go on with life challenges and just keep pushing through , I think it’s actually genius of you to ignite a new hope in people through just one dress “ he said
“ I wonder why your proposal got discarded “ he said to himself
“ Ummm the director said the expenses was bigger than our pocket “ I said
“ Wow although she’s not wrong , this project right here will cost millions , I guess that’s why it cannot be produced in massive amounts “ he said and I mouthed an oh …
I guess this was a whole big waste of time
“ So I’ve decided to accept this proposal “ he said
Wait what ?
“ You’re going to accept it ?” I asked
“ Yes but not yet though , since we can’t produce them in large quantities , we have to produce them only for important and rich people “ he said
Wow … oh my freaking Goodness
“ Thank you so much sir “ I said admist tears
“ it’s ok , you deserve this , your proposal is a masterpiece “ he said
“ I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a personal question “ he said
“ please go ahead sir “ I said
“ What about you ? Do you have a Midnight Dream ?” he asked and I looked at him for what seemed like minutes
“ No sir my dreams were killed last year , I’m not interested in having a new dream or hope . I’m happy the way I am “ I said and then he smiled
“ Miss Paley You can never predict the future , it’s not over until it is completely over . I’m very sure a new dream is waiting for you out there , all you just need is a little push …”Download Novelah App
