Give it a try

Chapter Fifteen

Charlotte's Pov

*7 days later,*

It's the day today. The met gala is happening today, and I am very nervous as well as excited.
We both have completed our designs and sent it to the celebrities who will be wearing it tonight.
Engfa and I have been very tired recently because of the target of completing our goals.
We have worked very hard day and night for this night, and I hope everything is alright.
But, there have been some changes to the plan because the organisers have decided that we should be the show stopper. Engfa and I will be wearing our own designed clothes at the last of the gala. I am very honoured to share the same stage with her because she is truly very talented. We spent so many times together this past week.
Chompu and Nudee had become quite close lately.
How I wish, Engfa and I could also be that close.
I miss spending time with her.
But, most importantly, I still loved her with my whole life.
I was about to get ready when suddenly I was called at the event because something was wrong.
I hurriedly packed my dress and rushed there.
Engfa was already there, and she seemed very upset. Looking at her, I knew that there was definitely something wrong.
She was outside the gate, waiting for me. She was on a call and was screaming at the person on the other side of the phone.
I just got out of the car, and Chompu immediately rushed towards me.
"I am sorry, I didn't know how it happened," she apologised to me.
She was crying and also angry at something. She kept cursing someone, but I didn't know who.
"What happened ?" I asked her, but I was cut off when Engfa came up to us.
"They got him," Engfa said.
"How could he do this ?" Chompu hissed.
I still didn't know what was going on, and my heart was literally trying to come outside.

"Can someone tell me what happened, please ?" I asked them, and they kept quiet.
"See it for yourself," Engfa said and pulled me inside the gala house.
Chompu followed us.
Everyone was looking at us very impatiently. I could tell that they were either dissatisfied or disappointed by the looks on their faces.
We entered a room and saw that Nudee was already there.
She was yelling at someone.
"OK guys, seriously, please tell me what is happening?" I asked again.

Engfa took a long breath before walking and taking two bags from the hanger.
One bag was from my company while the other was from hers.
She unzipped the bags, and I was shocked at what I saw next.
We both had the same dress.
The two dresses were the same, from top to bottom even the colours were the same.
"But I never designed this !" I exclaimed.
"Neither did I !" Engfa said.
I clearly remember that I have not even imagined that dress, let alone design it.
Soon, the makers who sewed the dress were called, and we asked them about it.
They said that the designs were indeed included with our other designs, and they even showed us the file that had all the designs we sent them to make.
The drawing and the handwriting were just like ours.
The makers were definitely not the guilty ones.
"Who could have done this ?" I said in frustration.
Suddenly, someone was thrown inside the room.
"Him," Engfa said, picking him up.
It was my ex-manager.

"He was the one who hacked our computers and then included that design on the file that we sent to the makers," Nudee said, throwing both the files at his face.
"Why did you do all this ?" Chompu yelled at him.
He didn't utter a word and then suddenly he pushed Engfa,then ran away.
Engfa was fast to react, and then she aimed an small globe like object at him and shot it.
It hit right on his head, and he fell.
She then hurried towards him and pinned him.

"Sorry- sorry - I apologise," he begged, Engfa to let him go.
"Tell us why did you do this ?" Engfa questioned him.
"I felt humiliated that you fired me, so I wanted to destroy you. And this gala was my perfect chance to destroy you, so I did this to pull you down, but my plan was ruined at the very last minute," he said.
"How dare you ?" Engfa yelled at him while kicking him hard.
He groaned in pain. Soon, the authorities were called, and they took him away.
The staff and the organisers apologised us for the inconvenience.
But, I was very nervous.
The gala had already started, and the celebrities were already on their way to here, and even the media was right outside the venue.
Good thing they didn't know about this whole incident, but we had nothing to wear.
We only had that design to wear, and it was the same.
We can not wear it.
"How can they wear the same designed clothes, we don't even have any other dresses of different design," Nudee exclaimed.
