Heartless Heart

Chapter 67

Bella

The door opened. It's Alex. He came and sat at the office chair at the end of the table facing everyone. They all are sitting on the side of the table. He is sitting beside me.
Everyone looked at him.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the meeting," he said. They nodded.
"We're going to talk about our next fashion," he said. "I want you guys to talk with each other and come up with ideas on how we will do it next time, then you can tell us your ideas," he said. Everyone nodded.
I looked at him. He looked at me. I smiled. He looked at me with a straight face. "What?" I asked whispering. He looked away from my eyes. And he is still mad. Everyone started talking.
"So do you have any idea, Bella?" David asked. I looked at him. "I was thinking we can have it by the beach, and the guests face the beach while the models walk in summer dresses," I said.
"Bella, that's a wonderful idea," he said with a smile. "Thank you," I said with a smile.
"What about you, do you have any idea?" I asked. "Nope," he said with a smirk. I smiled at him.
"Alright, what do you guys have?" Alex asked. Everyone went silent. We all looked at him.

Someone raised their hand. "Yes?" Alex asked while looking at him. "Sir, the stage can be formed like an x, and it can be classy," he said. "We can then show some classy dresses," he said. Alex nodded.
"What do you think Mr. Belinskij?" He asked. "It was a good idea," he said. The guy smiled. "Someone else?" Alex asked. Another one raised their hand. "Yes?" Alex asked.
"I have an idea for winter dresses, we can have some fake snow and a mountain full of snow around the stage where the models will walk," she said. Alex nodded.
"I hope you liked the idea, sir," she said. "Mhm, it was good," he said. She smiled as she looked away. "Someone else?" He asked. "I have one," I said. He looked at me.
"We can for example have the runway at the beach where the models will walk straight and the guests sit against the beach so they can also enjoy the dresses and the beautiful view, and on the side of where the models will walk, there can be colorful flowers."
"We can also show some summer dresses so they will match the whole design."
"So, what do you think?" I asked with a smile. "No."
My smile faded. No? What does he mean by that?
"What?" I asked confusingly.
"I didn't like the idea," he said.
He didn't? Why not? The idea was pretty cool.
"Why not?"
"Many reasons," he said. "Tell me."
He sighed annoyingly.
"First of all, if we are going to have it by the beach the sun needs to be shining," he said. "And it can end up raining," he said. "That's not a problem," I said.
"We can see how the weather is that day in the weather app," I said. "The weather can change, Bella."
"I know—"
"Plus we can't wait until it gets sun, we need a specific date, we can't keep changing it," he said interrupting me.
Why is he interrupting me?

"We can—"
"Enough, I already said no," he said.
I felt every eye on me. That's uncomfortable. Well, of course, all eyes are on us when he is talking like this.
He looked at his other employees.
I looked down.
"Good job guys, the meeting is over," he said. They all stood up. They started walking out the door. Alex got up too. He walked toward the door.
This was embarrassing. Why did he do that? Jerk.
"If you haven't got it yet, the meeting is over," I heard Alex say. Hasn't he left yet?
I got up.
I turned around. I walked fast out ignoring eye contact with him.
I walked fast into my office. I sighed. I went and sat down on the office chair. I kept working. I heard a knock. "Come in," I said hoping it was not Alex even though I knew it was not him because he didn't wait until I said come in, he knocked and then he came in.
It's David. "Oh, hey," I said with a smile. "Hey, Bella, Alex gave us a little break, me and my co-workers decided to have a fashion show here, do you want to join?"
I giggled. "Yes, that sounds so fun," I said playfully. "Alright, come then," he said with a smile. I stood up. I walked out with him. All my co-workers are here having fun. Here are a lot of people. "Alright, who will begin?" David asked. "Me," Kate said. We all went to the side so she could walk. Since we are so many there isn't a lot of space to move.
