Bonjour Emily!

Chapter 17 - Ringarde

Luc's voicemail starts

"Emily! Rush to the office asap!"

"Shit. I'm late. Wait,my laptop's out of charge. Must have been due to watching glee the entire night.Ughh that bitch is going to burn me alive today."

(Bitch by Glee Cast playing in background)

Narrator- Emily wake up! It's time to come out of your holiday zone and move into your work-life zone. Gosh!

Emily gets ready anyhow and runs to the office. "Running with heels should be banned ughh."

I'm here! ,says Emily with her hair messed up.

Luc and Julian wished her good morning and they continued with having their tea.

"Where are other guys?"

"You're half an hour early. We just wanted you to rush so that you wouldn't be late today!"

Emily looked disgusted and smiled "Well you guys can pull up a prank so well. I was shit scared."

"Haha"

"How was your trip Emily?"asked Luc.

"I will tell you guys everything. First give me a cup of hot coffee please."

Emily told them all the exciting things that they did there except the thing that happened with Camille and Gabriel.

Here's Slyvie now coming with her sunglasses on and black mode look on!

"Did you hear Antoine's husband Philippe caught Antoine and Sylvie together?"

"What what Julian! Are you serious??"

"I wish this was true lol. I can't wait for this day. If I see another time Sylvie and Antoine together doing funny business, I'm going to call that bastard's husband. He is too good to be with that A-Hole", said Julian.

"Philippe deserves better ofcourse."

"Emily? Can you come to my office please."

"Yes sure....", Emily winced. "Ughhh, wish me luck."

Emily enters the office room hoping that she is going to be thrashed by the Supergirl boss.

"Emily, I have a new assignment for you. We are trying to get a deal with Fashion Designer Pierre Cadault for a very long time. This time all hopes are on you. Today evening! You have all the necessary informations on your desk and you have 1 hour on your hands."

"1 hour???" Emily asks her with an astonishing face and a shock.

"Yes.Are we having any doubt with that sweety?", Sylvie throws her hands on the air.

"I suppose no.", shrugs Emily.

"And we are going to have lunch with him first. So hurry up! Shew!" Emily is instructed by her to close the door.

Sylvie is now busy reading gossip blogs on how actor Leonard Canet cheated on his wife Molly Vincent Sharma.

"So what are we dealing with now Em?"

"Pierre Cadault!"

"We have been trying to crack a deal with him since the last 4 years. I guess Sylvie has high hopes with you.", said Luc.

"Indeed a very important shoe to fill Emily!"

"However don't ever bring anything about his ex husband Orlando. He still cracks open a 100 portions of Creme Brulle whenever he hears his name.
And stay cautious while you are serving any drink to him. I still remember that evening when I spilled hot Darjeeling tea on his vintage Chanel trousers and burned his crotch. My goodness! I still get chills when I visualise that scene."

"Well that was an amazing guide on 100 ways to scare away Emily Cooper from Pierre Cadault. I have less than an hour to go through all the points I have to cover today. Ughh"

"Life is cruel Emily",a sorrowful Luc says.

"Life is hard Em!" said Julian in a pitiful voice.

After going through all the necessary informations, Slyvie and her team went to Pierre's apartment.

It was an exquisite apartment with a pre-war charm, with guilded frameworks and mirrors,bespoke wallpapers and furnitures. All things very French! And French!

Pierre alongside with their assistant Laura, gave them first a tour of their beautiful home as well as their studio downstairs. The studio was filled with moodboards, upcoming collections and future stocks.

"The collection looks good right?"

"I mean to be frank I don't think it speaks Pierre. Pierre according to me is colourful,bold prints, and unique. But here it's all very white."

"Ringarde! Getting reviews from a girl who is with a Eiffel tower bagcharm!"

"What! It's beautiful!",said Emily

"Well it's not. But I knew this collection is lacking! I think I need to be myself."

Pierre and his assistant walked into the next room and there it was Sylvie scolding Emily for her actions.

"What did you just do Emily? You just questioned his talent. How dare you can you ask these questions to the Prince of French Fashion and Haute Couture?"

Emily was looking down feeling ashamed. "I should have controlled my tongue", she said to herself.

"Be ready tomorrow at 4pm. Address will be sent to you soon.", said Pierre.

Pierre grabbed a glass of champagne and the latest edition of Vogue and went to his bedroom wearing his Versace slippers.

"What what? Did I just sealed the deal with Pierre Cadault? Oommmggg!!!"

"Yayyy!" said Luc.

"Don't be so estatic Emily. Just wait and watch for tomorrow's freak show! More of a shit show!"

Chapter 18 coming soon! Stay tuned.
