CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
“ Uhhh Zoey what are you doing ?” I asked
“ one second “ she said before grabbing another knife plus the one in her hand already
“ we are getting late for work , we have to go now and why are you taking those knifes ? “ I asked
“ This one is for killing Del “ she said bringing out the biggest one
“ and this one is for Nick “
“ Wow Zoey , you know you’re crazy right ?” I said
“ no I’m not , I’m going finish that stupid girl called Del , how could she implicate you like that ?” she asked
“ I don’t know Zo , I wonder what I ever did to her , I literally thought we were friends “ I said
“ I know right , with her huge Googles one would think she’s innocent “ she said
“ We’ll talk in the car , please drop your knife and let’s get to work “ I said
“ Fine but she best not pull with me in the streets or I swear I’ll fuck her up “ she said dropping the knife
I chuckled at her remark and made my way to the car , I started the car and we continued our conversation .
“ So you and Luca uhn ?” I asked
“ Forget about That and focus on your life , girl you’re facing the disciplinary committee very soon , you should be scared to your pants “
“ Honestly Zo I’m not gon’ lie I’m scared shitless but I’ve decided to put my big boy pants on “ I said and she laughed
“ I hope your big boy pants save you at the meeting “ she mocked
“ Girl don’t mock me “
“ I wouldn’t dare “ she said back which made me give her the finger
“ But imma be sincere Zoey , who wears a fishtail to a ball ?” I asked
“ what do you mean ?”
“ I mean it’s a freaking ball , why does Bella want a Fish tail dress ? I feel like a ball gown would be perfect for the event “ I said
“ So that was why you sketched that ball gown ?” She asked
“ yeah but honestly I didn’t send it to her , I submitted the fishtail sketches as agreed , I wonder why Del sent the ball gown instead “ I said
“ Are you still angry about Nick ?” She asked
“ I’m not angry Zo , he’s the freaking CEO and besides it’s not like I’m anything special to him “ I said
“ but you’re number one on his Smash list “ she said which made me chuckle
“ please there must be hundreds of girls on his Smash list “I said and she held my hands
“ it’s gonna be ok Lau “
“ I hope so “ I said
.
.
“ Del I’d like to speak to you “ I said
“ I don’t have anything to say to you “ she said looking anywhere but my face
“ Why did you do that ?” I asked
“ Do what ? You were the one who submitted the wrong sketch “
“ You know damn well that I didn’t submit the wrong sketch , I gave you three different fishtail sketches and you can’t deny it , Del you can’t “ I half yelled
“ Laura you gotta keep your voice down , Mr Sommers is around “ Lisa warned
“ sorry “ I said facing Del again
“ look Laura , I don’t know what you’re trying to insinuate but if you did something wrong , it’s only right for you to take responsibility “ she said
What? Ok I’m about to beat this bitch up
“ Take responsibility for what ? The mistake you made ?” I asked and she looked away
“ Del look at me and tell me that I didn’t submit three fishtail sketches to you “I said and she looked away
“ Girl I said –“
“ Miss Paley your attention is needed at the top floor “ someone said cutting off
I looked at Del one last time before gathering my materials , Lisa walked up to me and hugged me tightly .
“ you’ll be fine “ she assured
“ I know “ I said smiling then I felt someone hugging me from behind , I looked back and saw Colton
“ I’ll be inheriting your table when you get fired “he said and I laughed
“ what is it with you people and my table ?” I asked and we all laughed
“ Good luck Laura , you got this “ he said
“ Thanks guys “ I said waving at them as I walked towards the elevator , the elevator doors closed and I stared at my reflection in awe , I looked so confident but on the inside I was going ape shit .
The elevator stopped on the first floor And I felt my heart beating like wild drums .
Why am I so scared ?
Probably because I’m about to loose my freaking job , Arrrgh ! I’m scared shitless.
I opened my phone and checked the map to locate the meeting room , after few turns and twist I finally found it.
I knocked on the door and I heard a ‘come in’
I did the holy trinity sign and opened the door , I saw five people seated on the tables , there was a seat in front of them .
“ Welcome Miss Paley , you’re five minutes late “ A woman in glasses said
Oh …
“ uhhh yeah … ok “ I said stumbling on my words nervously
“ please have your seat “ Luca said smiling at me , I quickly sat my ass down on the chair .
I looked up and saw that the table comprised of five people in total , Mr Harlow sat in the middle and next to him was Luca and three other people that also works at the top floor whom I don’t give a fuck about their names .
“ Trust you had a good night rest “ Mr Harlow said looking straight into my eyes
Yeah right I slept like baby knowing damn well I was about to loose my job the very next day .
“ Yes I did “ I said
“ Great then let’s go straight to the point , You’ve been summoned here because you made a very costly mistake , when I mean costly I mean the company just lost lots of money and many other deals , how do you plan to take responsibility for this ?” he asked
I cleared my throat before talking .
“ I’m very sorry but I didn’tmake a mistake , I submitted three fishtail sketches “ I said standing on my word
“ So are you denying the fact that you didn’t sketch the ball gown either because I’m Astonished at where the ball gown came from “ he said
Dammit
I did sketch the ball gown , but I didn’t submit it .
“ Yes i-I did n-n –“
“ Miss Paley did you sketch the ball gown or not ?” another man in glasses asked
I bit my lips nervously before answering
“ yes I did “ I said
“ Why did you do that ? The client specifically stated that she wanted a fishtail , so why did you sketch a ball gown ?” The woman in glasses asked
“ I i-I d-don’t –“
“ can you please stop stuttering and just say something ?” Mr Harlow said
Ok I’m done with this , I’ve had enough already , honestly I don’t care what happens anymore , if nobody is going to believe me then so be it .
“ Fine I did it , I sketched the ball gown , who wears a fishtail dress to a ball anyway ? I mean it’s a freaking ball for Christ sake “I said angrily
I saw Luca smiling a little
“ Miss Paley do you know what you’re doing right now ? You’re about to loose your job and you’re still acting fiesty ?”
“ I don’t care anymore , yes I did it kindly pass down your judgement now “ I said
Ok where the hell is this confidence coming from ?
“ Miss Paley you’re only making the situation worse “ Luca said
“ I said I did it I –“
My words were cut short as the doors suddenly opened and Hayden walked in
“ I did it “ he yelled as he ran into the room
Wait what ?
“ Mr Sommers what are you saying ?” Mr Harlow asked
“ I sketched the dress and sent it , I’ll take responsibility for my actions “
