Jungkook and Purple Angel

Chapter 4

Alice POV

I hear him, but can't answer...I am lost for words. My hand holding mascara up to the eye is shaking. I slowly put it down on dressing table, before I poke my eye out. And start to giggle, then laugh and cry covering my face. I pinch my hand hard, to see if I am just dreaming about it.

I now hear distressed Lisa and Carlos voices on the other end of the phone.
Lisa is shouting, maybe I passed out, hearing the news lol. I almost did...as my heart is beating so fast and palms are sweating like crazy. I just had a shower, but will now need another one.

I clear my voice and try to calm myself, when I answer Carlos sweetly.

- Carlos darling, when is Mr. Joen coming in ?

- So... he wanted to have his appointment today, but I persuaded him to come in for his shopping appointment tomorrow....But he insisted that he wanted to meet the whole team today...To pick out who will be his personal shopper himself...But I have a feeling, he will pick you my darling Alice... So, he will swing by before 1 o'clock today for coffee... - Carlos keeps blabbing away.

I sit still and stare at my reflection while Carlos is talking away. Today...I will see him today....He will be so close... I could smell him and maybe even touch!

My head is spinning...I want to smile and to cry at the same time. I want to run out the door to see him quicker and also hide under my bed covers...

I have met so many famous and important people at work, but it's the first time I am this nervous. And then it downs on me...what if he picks someone else as his personal shopper... what if he doesn't pick me ?

I try on all the suitable clothes in my wardrobe. There are clothes now everywhere, on the bed, floor and on my dressing table. In the end I stick with my go to favourite work outfit, that makes me feel good and confident about myself.

Cute black dress that has round neck line, short sleeves and goes out of my waist in full skirt till the knees. Black ankle boots, to balance out cute dress and black structured jacket. Just in case I will get chilly in store with air conditioning blasting off.

I put curled hair in half up-down style, leaving few loose strands around my face. Tiny beads of pearl chocker is around my neck. I never take it off, even when I sleep or shower. Same with small diamond studs in my ears.

I spritz my favourite french jasmin perfume in the room, then walk, as it's cloud hugs me. It's subtle sent that hangs on me from head to toe. But its light and only someone close to me can smell it.
I look at my reflection in the mirror one last time, trying to calm my nerves while checking makeup.

I have light gold eyeshadow that makes my blue eyes even more bluer and lip stain in rose, as if my lips were bitten.

You can do it Alice ! I say to myself, just be professional like you are and all will be fine... Yes I nod, I can do it...
While picking my black small cross bag, I head out of the door.

Few minutes and I am at the door of luxury department store, it's like my second home. Green doorman greats me with kind smile, while he opens the door for me. I greet him smilling back, while tapping my work id card on the wall station. That's another perk of my work title as senior personal shopper. I don't need to use crowded staff entrance.
