We arrived at the kitchen. "What do you want to eat?" I asked Bella. "Toast, maybe," she said. I took out what we needed for toast. She came and stood with me. "Make as many as you want," I said to her while looking down at the food. She began to make two. I made also two. I took her toast and melted it. "I'm so excited to arrange the dresses," she said. Me too, it's gonna be a success. "They are so beautiful, who design them?" She asked. Huh, so she thinks they are beautiful? She doesn't know I'm the one that designs them. "Me," I said while looking down. She went silent.
"I think mine is done," she said breaking the silence. I took them out for her. "Thank you."
I put mine. She isn't eating. "Eat before it gets cold," I said while looking down at my food. She started to eat. Mine is done. I started to eat too. "Mm, it's so good," I heard her say.
"Was it hard to start this company?"
I looked at her. "At the start, it was," I said. She nodded.
"You must have got so proud of yourself when you made it so famous."
"Mhm."
"Did it take a while to become to this level?"
"Yes," I said.
"How old were you when you started this company?"
"Eighteen," I said. "And how old are you now?"
"Twenty-six."
She nodded. "You are three years older than me, I'm twenty-three," she said. I nodded.
"Let's go back to work," I said and walked to the office.
We arrived. We sat down. She sat beside me. We started to draw again. I looked at Bella's drawing. It looks like she is struggling. She wiped and drew many times. She sighed. I held her hand and she was holding the pencil. "Look, that's how you do it," I said while starting to draw. She is looking at me. She looked at the draw. I was done showing her. I let go of her hand. "Thank you," she said with a smile.
