Weave Of Fate: Rock My World

Red Thread of Fate

Shen POV

Xia's new collection has become one of our top sellers.  She has been asked to do a number of interviews.  She always uses her design name Grace as she wants to be known for her work as a designer and not as the daughter of a famous actress and director.

We have finally decided on our wedding and where it will be held.  There is a small church near to where our house is in the country and a small hotel within the village where we will hold the reception.  

We will hold a separate reception for business colleagues that wish to celebrate with us and other friends in  Seoul at a later date.

I'm working via Skype with Stewart and Doug on Xia wedding dress.  I thought of a dress that falls naturally with fine lace detail.  The bodice is fitted with thin straps with the lace detail continuing down into the skirt part of the dress.  With the back part of the skirt having a slight train to it.  All in white but there is some fine luminous white embroidery inter woven with the lace detail.

Stewart hearing that we were going to be wed and designing each others clothes asked if he could be the one to help me and then of course Doug wanted to help too.  Stewart had the buttons specially made for it.  He has said that he has also included some underwear that he made to wear under it.  I just have one final Skype to see the finished dress and then he will bring it over when they come a week before the wedding.

Xia is working on my suit in her work space.  So I've been banned from going anywhere near it.  She is shopping with my mother today to find her something to wear for the wedding.  The rest of her team are making the gifts for the guests.

I have also been working on the plans to make our two apartments, one apartment.  Remembering what Xia suggested.  I have a work crew that will begin work the day we go to our country house two days before the wedding.  We will then be away for two weeks on our honeymoon.  They have assured me it will be all done by the time we get back.

At the moment, I need to go t the other design team and see what they've prepared for the next collection of lady wear.  "Sir, they're ready for you" Jin tells me.  We head down to their design department floor.

I listen and look at the design sketches.  I'm happy with most of them but the formal wear seems to be lacking a little.  I tell them to try and fix them so that are more glamourous and elegant.  Something showing their individual mark.

I go back feeling a little flat as I had great hopes for this collection.  I call Xia to see how shopping is going and to help lift my mood.  "Hi, we have found the perfect dress for your mother.  Your father is going to fall for her all over again" she answers

I laugh "glad you found something.  I've just seen women's design collection and the formal wear just doesn't hit the mark" I tell her  "I'll go and talk with them tomorrow and see if I can help" she offers freely.

"Thank you, when will you be home?" I ask "we are just looking at shoes and then I'll head back" she says.

I end the call and then shut to my feet "SHOES!!" I cry and call Stewart forgetting about the time difference.  "Uh" he grunts "I forgot shoes, how did I forget shoes?" I ask "Doug's got it covered, relax Shen we have your back man now let me go back to sleep" he says ending the call.

I sit back down with a thud relieved that Xia will have shoes to wear.  I add the shoes to my check list and then put a tick next to it.  I can't believe I nearly made her walk bare foot down the aisle.

I get back to my work and leave at the end of the day.  I don't want to work overtime today.  Xia texted to say she was home already.  She also said she got a call from Trevor and invited him and Ben over.
