A Tale Of Schemes... #1,#2,#3

Chapter 13

*Kanika Pov*

Within a few hours, the reception will be held and I am right now excited about how to pass these hours and also nervous with each passing minute.

I smiled looking at the list I prepared yesterday night to plan on what things to buy after getting the card. First would be the laptop and then a stitching machine along with a few fabrics to practice.

That board to draw the patterns and a mannequin and so many things to buy. I can't wait anymore as my experience with learning during these two years will get intensify more with all these added opportunities with that money. I can reach my goal way earlier after finishing the course.

I don't even want to eat this food with this nervous and excited energy but have to be prepared with the idea that I may not have the chance to have food at this function.

When it is past three, I heard the doorbell and opened the door to find a man standing with a polite smile on his face.

"Mrs. Vikranth! I have booked a saloon for you to get ready for the reception and even the designer will reach that place with the dress." He stated while I just frowned at him.

"Mrs. Vikranth?" he called when I stayed silent.

"Is it needed? I can get ready here." He frowned hearing those words with a disappointed look.

"It is needed! The reception will start by six and we need to be there before that time." I turned to find him climbing down the stairs.

"I have instructed them that it is for reception and they know what to do. You need not worry about anything, Mrs.Vikranth." The man added and I turned to see his face occupied with a smile now.

"Excuse me! Who are you?" I asked politely as he continued to use that tag to address me.

"I am Mr. Vikranth's assistant and you can call me Jay, Mrs. Vikranth." He replied and I opened my mouth to ask him to not address me like that but it is better to get adjusted to that tag from today itself until the end of these two years.

Anyway, I used that tag myself yesterday near Prathap and so I can't blame others. I nodded while he left saying he will call the driver to get the car.

I started walking towards the stairs to get ready so that I can leave but he stopped me saying, "Just follow their instruction and don't make any changes on your own."

"I know! Otherwise, I would not be able to reach the social standards which would bring discomfort to your family, which would result in me losing the money and also get legal charges in bonus." I said nodding at him and continued to climb the stairs ignoring his reaction.

After reaching the room, I changed into a simple attire as I will be changing my dress there and it is better to choose something which will not be a treasured one for me.

During the travel towards the saloon, I opened the GPS and tried to know the landmarks to remember them when I go out on my own from tomorrow.

However, it will take longer for me to reach the academy as this place is nearly on the outskirts but there are buildings closer to this area.

I noted down the grocery store that is near to the area and other places that are important. I should leave early every day to reach the campus otherwise I will be late.

When I reached the saloon, I found a few people waiting for me and they took me to the room where I found a dress hanging in the corner and the first thing they asked me is to try on the dress to make any adjustments immediately.

"The dress seems to be shorter for you. Let me adjust it, Mrs. Vikranth!" saying that the designer gestured me to sit down.

I nodded but continued to stare at her work which made her pause before saying, "I will not ruin it. Don't worry, Mrs. Vikranth!"
