Intimate Ambitions

Chapter 8

Once at work I finished up some last-minute designs for dresses and outfits and discussed with my team about the upcoming fashion that will be featuring a selection of our dresses and outfits in the latest issue of Vogue.
This particular design is one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen, with intricate patterns all over the fabric, and intricate and beautiful embroidery that runs throughout the entire dress.

The colors are vivid and colorful, creating an enchanting effect that causes the eye to become drawn to it almost immediately. A simple, yet elegant and graceful design, designed in black, cream, lilac, and rose gold, the colors compliment perfectly the white lace that covers the rest of the skirt of
the dress.
"This design seems to be rather special, don't you think, Miss Odessa?" one of my designers asked. "It's quite different from any other designs that you' have designed recently.

"My designer spoke the words, causing her assistant to nod in agreement. She smiled sweetly and nodded."Yes, this design has caught my eye.
However, I can see why you'd like to bring it to market in the future.

" She paused before continuing, "After all... it is a stunning creation. It will add a lot of prestige to your collection.

"I smiled happily at her praise. She's right. The design itself is breathtaking and I cannot wait for everyone else to come in and view it.
It's such a gorgeous dress; I' 'd never tire of looking at it.
I turned my gaze back onto the design that sat in front of me on my desk.
I looked carefully at it once more.
It is exquisite. It has a very feminine feel to it. It is also very unique; it reminds me of something from ancient Rome or China. There isn't much time until I must present the dress to the client and I have already wasted enough precious minutes discussing the details with my team.
Time flies by when you're busy designing and promoting clothing.
After giving them instructions for their tasks and instructing them to call if there were any problems, I bid farewell to my assistants before meeting up with Zion for lunch but before leaving I received a threatening message from an unknown number telling me to stay away from zion and calling me a homewrecker and a whore.
Who could have sent such a text to someone who they haven't even met yet? Is it possible that it could be from someone who wants to harm me?
But why would they want me to stay away from him?
When I entered the restaurant and spotted Zion standing near the entrance I immediately knew something wasn't right. He stood there with his jaw clenched as he glanced angrily at the floor.
His fists were balled at his sides, making small sparks fly around them as he kept his breathing controlled. His expression told me that he was agitated. He didn't look happy.
"Zion? What is wrong? Are you alright?" I asked in alarm, rushing towards him to check him over for injuries.
"I'm fine, darling. Everything's fine," he muttered angrily, turning his glare away from me as his fists tightened even more in a tight ball." just don't worry about it my darling trust me it's nothing too important to worry about "
he replied coldly.
My heart sank. I wanted to believe him but I could tell by the way he stared angrily down at his feet that something was wrong. Something seemed to be bothering him immensely.
"What happened, sweetheart?" I questioned concernedly.
He sighed heavily. "Nothing my love. Please just drop it," he replied curtly, brushing past me swiftly.
"If that is what you want, my love," I murmured sadly.
After our lunch, I headed back to my office and continued working until 4:30 pm. Afterwards, I headed over to Zion to get ready to attend a charity auction being held by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Knight Zion had selected a very beautiful silk black velvet dress for me to wear with earrings to wear with matching high heels as well. "It'll make sure that you attract lots of admirers, darling," explained Zion enthusiastically.
"Thank you, darling," I giggled.
I walked into my closet and picked the dress off of hangers and admired it from every angle. This dress was extremely beautiful, stunningly gorgeous. With it came earrings that matched the dress.
It truly was perfect.
Zion helped me put on the dress, adjusting the strap here, and loosening the folds of the material there. Once everything was properly settled, I finally turned to meet his smiling face.
"How do I look, love?"
"You are simply the loveliest girl that I've ever laid eyes on," he answered truthfully, cupping my face and kissing me softly on the lips.
I blushed profusely, unable to stop grinning from ear to ear.
"Thank you, dear"
I whispered, pressing my lips against his once more.
