Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 60

Two days were already gone and if I thought I didn't sleep sewing Gloria's wedding gown or Brittany and Chloe's outfits....I didn't know anything then

For the past two days, I've spent 24hrs in my room and slept 4 hours every night. I know it wasn't healthy but there was nothing I could do, I couldn't let this opportunity slip away

Never

I finally came up with the design I wanted to do, I had hope in it but I just hope Morgan would like it. I bought some extra things like I knew I would and I already started up on the dress, I really hope and pray I finish the dress in the next 3days

Also lately I've been feeling very sick, I don't know if it's because I hardly sleep or because of the whole Eric thing but I just know that I have not been myself

I try to push every sick feeling aside and just concentrate on the dress I was making

I hear the room door open "I brought you some food" Sophia walks in, keeping a tray of food on the bed beside me

"Thank you so much" I said, not tearing my eyes away from the outfit

"You're welcome" she sits down "have you thought about what you're going to do about your phone?"

Yeah I forgot to mention that I'm completely phoneless now. Also simless because I tried putting my sim in Sophia's phone but none of my contacts where showing up, the sim wasn't even coming on

So I was devicelesss. I really need to stop coming up with words that doesn't exist

I put of my machine and turn to the bed to pick up my food

Immediately the smell of the food got to my nose, I felt very nauseous and I immediately dropped the tray and ran to the bathroom

I let out all the contents of my stomach into the toilet.

"Courtney.. what's wrong?" I felt Sophia's hand on my back as she rubbed downwards

After I was done, I washed my mouth out before flushing and walking back into the room

"Courtney what was wrong?"

I shake my head "I don't know" I sit down on the bed "I just...I felt so nauseous all of a sudden"

"Why? Don't you like the food?"

"What of course I do, but I don't know what happened" I touched my stomach

"Are you sure you're not ill?" She asked

I roll my eyes "just because I threw up?"

"Yes of course. It can be a sign that you're not well"

"Yeah sure, it's also a sign of pregnancy so just add that to the...." I pause

She chuckles "where would the pregnancy come from?"

I slowly take my hand off my stomach

"Courtney? Why are you suddenly quiet?"

I can't just assume anything, pregnancy isn't even an option

"Nothing" I get up and get back to sewing

"Should I get you some meds?"

I shake my head "no I'm fine"

"How about your food?"

I look at the tray "I'll try eating later"

She nods before lying on the bed

Eric's POV

"Mr Lawson will be arriving in a few hours for your first meeting and after that you have a meeting with the share holders of Crystals. Right after that meeting, you have....Mr Martinez?"

"I can hear you" I said to Jeff as I flipped through files, I finally decided to drag myself to the office today

"O..kay, you still have to meet up with Mr Philip concerning the shares you intend on buying of his company"

I stay quiet waiting for him to continue but he doesn't "is that all?"

"Yes sir"

"You can leave then"

He was just about to walk out before he turns to me "Mr Martinez, would what happened with Courtney affect my job?"

I stop flipping and look up at him

"Why would you think that?"

"Well...since you got to work today...you seem to just be cold towards me...I don't really know"

Really?

I didn't notice that, although I do know that my mood lately hasn't been the best

"I'm sorry about that..I'm just not myself lately"

He nods slightly "I'm really sorry about what happened with Courtney, but she's actually going through a lot too"

I'm finding that a little hard to believe

I just nod and he excuses himself. I close the files and rest my back on my chair, I really needed to get my head straight. This thing about Courtney made me so disorganized and I didn't want it affecting my work, but at the same time I couldn't help it

I just let out sigh and go back to work

Courtney's POV

It was currently 6:50PM and I was still sewing. I've never been so committed to doing anything in my life but I really wanted this opportunity and I didn't want to let it slip away.

The dress was already coming out nicely but I really do hope I get it done before she arrives because I don't feel well right now

I take a little break and just try to rest a little, I wasn't feeling right at all

Everywhere felt a bit hot and I was really really tired. Maybe I may be over working myself just a bit, I don't know but I did know one thing and it was that I wasn't a 100%.

Sophia wasn't even home at the moment and it was just me so I focused all my attention to the dress but at the same time, I felt really sleepy. I tried to push it away but I couldn't and just ended up putting off my machine and lying down on my bed just to rest a bit

But it eventually lasted till the next day
