Difficult

Chapter 2 - L. P.

As I arrived to the studio I sat down to my table. I got the notebook out of my bag and opened it. I started to draw, sketch, I had a lot of inspiration.
I had to practice cloth designing too, so I decided to make a new outfit.

"Are you alive?"asked somebody who just stood behind my back.
I turned around and I noticed it was Tom.
"Why do you ask this?"
I answered with another question.
"Because I haven't seen you for 5 long hours. I mean I saw you when you arrived but then you disappeard. I couldn't find you so I thought you will come to talk to me about the mysterious customer. But you didn't"
"Ohh my God Tom, I'm so sorry...time goes by very fast here. I just sat down to draw something. I did not expect that it will take 5 hours to make this"I said as I pointed at my notebook.
Tom was just staring at my new outfit.
"Okay, this is so f*ckin' amazing"
I chuckled.
"Thank you. I just wanted to tell you that my laptop is broken and I can't use it but I borrowed Tania's. It's the slowest laptop I've ever seen. So I couldn't write the e-mail yet"
"No problem, Rose. The day is still so long, we have time"
"Right"I said and smiled at him.
"But this..."he poked on my sketch"You should show this to the boss"said Tom and then went away.
He was so elegant, just like as always. I love him so much. He is the best assistant ever. But I don't know why is he still just an assistant. He has lovely ideas and he's so talented. He deserves more than this.
I launched Tania's computer but it was much slower than I thought. Finally 7 mins later it was on. I opened my e-mail account to contact the mystery-guy.

Hi!
I got your proposal. I would gladly work for you. Please tell me more about it!
Rosalie Madden

Fine. Then I was waiting for the answer to come. I didn't have to wait for too long, the reply arrived soon.

Hi there!
I am happy to hear that you are interested. I will call you to organise a meeting.
L. P.

L. P.? What the Hell? Why can't he tell me his name? I had to share this with Tom so I went to find him.
He was sitting in a big armchair in the relax-room, drinking a cup of tea.
He seemed to be really surprised as I walked in.
"What would you like to have? Coffee? Tea? Donuts?"he asked.
"Nothing thanks...especially not coffee"
A small laugh left his mouth.
"He wrote back"I said.
He looked into my eyes.
"That fast?"
"Yep. He will call me to organise a meeting"
"Any other thing about him?"
"Nothing. Oh, he's monogram is L.P."
"Interesting. Okay, I'll stay here and wait for the call"
"Let me know when he calls"
"Sure"
I went back to my table, and started to do another outfit. Outfits, outfits and outfits. Huhh.
