Episode start -

Ridhima's POV.

Throughout the meeting my mind focused on Liam's weird message.

Why had he messaged me after a year since we broke up?"

Was he trying to play with my feelings?

What did he want?

Did he want to get back together?

Did he regret breaking up with me? Gosh, I sighed I was hopeless- I didn't
need this kind of distraction. I kept on
staring at my iPhone.

Should I reply to his message? And what should I say?

I miss you too?

Even if it was strangely possible that I missed him, should I still tell him?

I raised my head in time to see the creative director's secretary, Amanda, distributing some colourful flyers across the long table which was surrounded with over twenty tall chairs. The flyers were about the upcoming spring collection we were going to launch in late may. We were to provide our best design and the winner will have his/her design on the company's 16th spring collection magazine.

Last year, my design won the cover picture of the 15th spring collection magazine. I knew most of the designers were working unrelentingly hard to replace me. It was the reason why I had to do a better design this year. My design had to win as the cover picture at all cost, it was one of the goals I had listed down. The spring collection will be launched in just a few months and I don't even have any outstanding designs. I picked the flyer from the table and checked it. I really had to create a design soon. The thought of some other design being perfect than mine irritated me.

The deadline to submit our designs was getting close. I rubbed my face and dropped the piece of paper. Gosh, I need to hasten up unless I won't be the top designer for the latest spring collection.

Mr Calvin folded his hands and rested his chin on his folded hands. He was the creative director of Modern Mode.

"This year's spring collection is coming up and I don't want our fashion stock to fall behind the other fashion industries," Mr Calvin said.

Sasha, one of the senior designers, shook her head with extreme pride and confidence. She rapped her pen on the table. "Our fashion stocks have always been the best, I don't think it will go down any time."

"We have to produce the best designs for this spring collection to remain at the top. Emily suggested.

Mr Calvin nodded his head, thoughtfully.

**You are right."

"I suggest we use rare materials for this spring collection, it will make our product stand out among our rivals." A senior designer added.

There was no doubt that Modern Mode was one of the best fashion industries . So, if we failed to produce stunning designs for our new spring and su collection, we might fall behind our rivals.

After the meeting, I went back to my personal office. The pleasant fragrance of lavender, proudly standing upright on my desk, wafted through my nostril and from across my desk there was a wooden shiny polished brown shelf filled with various) vogues of multiple fashion trends and collections. I brushed my slender fingers along the hardcover of the vogues, my mind wandering away like a homeless vagabond.

I slumped onto the curvy chair.

Do Liam really miss me?

My thoughts spinned. I sat up and gulped down a bottle of water. It's been a few months, one month, two week and four days since he broke up with me. It had hurt so bad to realize that all my undying love and affection towards him meant nothing to him.
