~Enchanted Love~

Meetings at the plaza

I was born and grew up in New York, specifically in Brooklyn, but I had never experienced being in New York in the way it is shown in the movies i watched when I was a little girl who used to sit in front of the TV to watch all those romantic comedies that were located in New York. I never consider it as a problem, until today.

After an exchange of emails and calls between Ben and Christopher, the Secretary of the Queen, the agreement was reached that the wardrobe rehearsal will be done here in New York in case I had to make some change in the clothes, that means I would have a meeting with several members of the royal family

I have made so many wardrobe rehearsals for different brands and people, that I had even memorized the process, but I had never done it with someone who was part of royalty

¡for the love of God!

I have never spoken with someone who was part of royalty.

I like to believe that everything will go well if I follow all the specified rules but I know that in this type of situation it is never that simple.

The rehearsal was today, saying that I wasn't nervous would be a lie, I had planned to talk to Ben, maybe he could go with me and help me fill the uncomfortable silences

I knew that it was practically impossible since in order to take someone else I should have informed days ago but in a certain way I feel better having the hope that maybe I would not have to spend that meeting alone

I took my bag and some cards where I had written my little initial speech for today's meeting, I came out of my apartment as fast as I could and although I had to wait till I found a taxi that was empty I get to my work on time

I was not surprised when I found Ben sitting on one of the chairs that were in front of my desk, he was moving his leg anxiously, making me more nervous

"¡You're finally here! Do you have everything ready for the rehearsal?"I wonder as soon as he saw me

"Yes, in a few hours I will go to the workshop to pick up the clothes and I also have the folder with the original designs in case they want to make some change"I told Ben before putting my bag at the desk and sitting on the chair that was in front of Ben who had a smile

"I have a good feeling about this"he told me keeping his smile

"Can I know why is that?"I asked now smiling too

"The printer has not jammed in two weeks, it's a new record"he told me while he put his feet up on the desk, I hated when people do that

"I bet Noah from computing miss you a lot, you should go and visit it him from time to time"I said causing him to lower his feet from the desk

"I'm gonna complain about you with the Ministry of Labor, for mistreatment" he point me with his finger

"You didn't deny it" I said

"I don't have to deny something that is practically impossible" he told me, getting up from the chair

"Are you crying?" I Ask him with mockery.

"That's it, I'm leaving" he told me as he started walking towards the door

"Ben, wait, there is something that I wanted to ask you"I said causing him to turn around

"This is embarrassing ,but do you think you can come with me to today's meeting? "I asked looking down

"No, Isobel, I can't go with you but I can take you to the hotel" he told me with a sad smile

"its okay, don't worry, and it would be great if you take me to the hotel" I said with a sincere smile the truth is that I already expected that answer
