Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 4

"This is it!"

I finally found the perfect style for Mrs Martinez. I had made a lot of dinner gown sketches but all of them seemed to have a problem or two but I finally got it

"What happened, did you win a lottery?" I hear Sophia ask behind me

I turn around to face her with a grin on my face

"I finally found the perfect style for Mrs Martinez"

She looked at with a blank expression

"What? You yelled for that?"

"Isn't that enough reason" I looked at her confusedly

"I beg you keep your voice down" she walks out of the room

"Meanie" I turned on my machine

"I heard that" she yelled from the living room

~~~~~~~~

I took a stroll round the park for while, for some reason nature helps me get better inspiration. I always loved coming here, it was so airy, so free, so peaceful....

"Hell no I won't!"

And I spoke too soon

"Are you serious right now?"

"What on earth do need 250 thousand dollars for?"

"Babe come on, it's the companies 20th Anniversary, I'm your girlfriend. Other than your mum, I should be the most dressed"

"It's not even your company Theresa"

"Considering the fact we're getting married soon, I think it is"

I just stood with both my hands clinged to my purse chain

It was Eric and Theresa, why were they here?

"Why exactly are we here? This place is so unhygienic"she made a disgusted face and I just rolled my eyes

Is she always like this?

"This is the only park I LA" Eric pointed out

"I didn't ask to come to the park, can we go to a restaurant or shopping, anything" she whines

"I'd rather not"

She just scoffed, flipping her hair over her shoulder as her eyes met mine. I immediately took to my heels but not fast enough before she yelled

"Hey you!"

Trouble, I smell trouble

I gulped and slowly turned around to look at her

"You know it's rude to listen in on someone's conversation right?" She asked with folded arms and a raised brow

I just nodded lightly "I'm sorry"

"Courtney?" Eric said and I just slightly bowed my head acknowledging him

"You know this?" She looked at Eric

Wait, this?

"Stop it Theresa, her name's Courtney"

"As in Gloria's Courtney?" She asked with a somewhat disgusted face

"Yes"

She turned to look at me from head to toe, I felt really uncomfortable. I gulped and held on tightly to my chain

"I'll be on my way...." I was saying before I got cut short by Theresa

"Wait you're making Barbra's dress?"

I nodded and she looked horrified

"How?"

"What do you mean how, she's a stylist after all" Eric gestured to me

"We're talking about your mum, Barbra Martinez. What reason on earth would your mum have for giving her any of her clothes to sew?" She kept her gaze fix on me, I felt like I was melting

"Theresa that's enough"

"Please excuse me" and without any hesitation, I take to my heels and run out of the park

And just to think that she was part of my inspirations
