"I'm sorry to disturb you, but could you....."

"Why? "

"My ride kinda bailed on me "

" Then take a taxi or something " really?? Yesterday he was telling me to eat and take my meds and today, he decides to be like this?

"I don't really have enough money on me "

"Why" I don't know what to say to that

"Could you just please come pick me up"

"You haven't answered me yet "

" Uhh....I don't have time now. My father's calling me. I'll tell you when I come " I lied. I obviously can't answer that.

I worked at my fathers company for a while but I left (or I got myself fired) because I hated it. Every hour I spent there was like a waste of time to me. So, I may or may not have intentionally spilled coffee on on important investors dress, which may or may not have caused her to leave leading to a big loss in the company, but what can I say. There are many reasons as to why I 'left'

I had to wait.

Honestly I feel like he isn't going to come. So I guess I'll just go some other time. Oh, wait I can't.

I'm exhausted

I was lost in thoughts when I heard the sound of a car. So I looked out of my window and saw Leo's car. He's here? He's here.

I have to go down now right?
I literally ran down because of how surprised I was. He actually came.

I got to the car and stood there as I watched an unfamiliar man come out.

"Hello ma'am. I'm Mr Argent's driver and I'm here to take you to your destination.

😒 Seriously? And here I was all surprised and a little hap...( I don't want to finish that sentence)

" Uh..... Ok, let's go" I said as he opened the back door for me to enter and I did.

Finally, were here

So I walked into the store and saw a woman. The first thing I noticed was how empty it was. "You must be Mira. I've been expecting you" she said as she slightly hugged me "I'm Cynthia"

"Hi" I just don't know what to say. I'm not really fond of meeting new people. But it's fun once I get to know them.

"Alright, let's get started" she said while clapping hey hands twice and walking away. Hey employees followed. I couldn't help but notice how two of them were looking at me. Like I offended them or something

****
After a while five dresses were brought to me. They all looked stunning. How do I pick?

"Hard choice right? I guess you have to try them on to know " Cynthia said from beside me.
So far I've tried on three dresses and Cynthia was right. I hate all three of them. I guess my faith lies in the last two dresses.
So I tried them on and I love them but I don't know how to choose.

If Tara was here or maybe Leo, I probably wouldn't have to go through all this.
I mean, a they have to say is 'buy that' or ' I love that' and I wouldn't think twice before choosing it. I'm so tired right now.

Cynthia left to receive a call a while ago so there's no one here apart from the employee in front of me holding the other dress.
So I guess I'll ask her.

"Um.... hi" I said waving my hands at her. She looked confused that I was talking to her.

"Oh.....me"

"Yeah. Do you maybe know which dress looks better on me" say something. Anything

"Uhh...if you ask me, which you are" she seems nervous "you should pick the dress you're wearing now. I'm sure once your fiancé sees you, hell fall in love with you all over again. It's just perfect" yeah I'm sure my 'fiancé' will fall in love all over again too

"I guess it's this one then" I said with a big smile plastered on my face.

"Great, I'll go tell my boss" now I'm all alone. I mean we're the two other girls that were her before. Did they just suddenly disappear??
Now, I know I've never done this before, and most certainly not due to these circumstances, but every thing is off. A bride shouldn't pick her dress alone, but here I am. All alone.

I guess that gives me more time to admire this dress though. It looks sexy on me. My mind, my thoughts 😁 plus, it has pockets!! Who doesn't love a dress with pockets

I already told Cynthia about my dress Choice so I'm getting ready to leave. With one last hug from Cynthia I made my way out. On my way out I couldn't help but notice some voices, not like I was eavesdropping or anything like that.

"I bet she's a golddigger"

"Yeah, I can't believe Mr Argent would stoop so low to the likes of her" I don't think I need to see them to know it was the two girls from earlier

"I can't believe he paid for the store to be empty just for her"

"I know right, I'm so jealous of......"
I can't listen anymore and honestly, I don't care
****
I'm in the car now, on my way home. I'm feeling so exhausted and sad. The wedding is in like five days.
I let out a sigh.
"Is everything ok ma'am?? " The driver asked
" Uhh...yeah of course" I assured him, he nodded and kept on driving.

I guess I'll just sleep my worries away. Yh I'm good at that.

Another chapter. Complete.
I'm happy I've gotten this far. I was having second thoughts about continuing.

Also, do you love the dress Mira chose???
🤔I was kinda skeptical about it..

I changed the dress. Do you like it or should I pick another one????🤗

I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
