The Broken Heart's Beauty (Salguero Siblings Series #3)

Chapter 6- Call

I manipulate the lines of the French curve on the tracing paper using my favorite pencil for the pattern I'm currently creating.

The comfort and fulfillment I feel whenever I'm turning my imagination into reality is unexplainable, especially when I'm making my design from scratch into magnificent clothing.

Matagal na ako sa industriya pero namamangha pa rin ako sa ganda na dala ng mga tela at nabubuo nitong kasuotan. I always feel belong to this job. It keeps ensuring me that I'm destined to be here.

"Scissor," tiningnan ko si Grace nang iabot niya sa akin ang gunting at si Callie na inaayos ang mga tela na nasa lamesa.

I cut the pattern I drew on the tracing paper for the fabric cutting.

"Stop," hindi ko na napigilan na mapahinto.

I looked at Grace and Callie who had been looking at me so teasingly.

"Can you two stop those smiles." I commanded coldly.

"Bakit naman senyorita? Dapat ma-feel ng audience ang pakiramdan natin habang ginagawa natin ang mga designs mo." Grace said with a wide smile on her face.

"Oo nga, senyorita. Dapat masaya tayo para kapag napanood nila mas lalo silang maeengganyo." Callie added.

I gave them a glare rather than appreciating what they said. Kung hindi ko sila kilala ay baka mapaniwala pa nila ako.

I'm about to answer them when I heard Duke's chuckles.

"What are you laughing at?!" Binitawan niya ang nakasabit na camera sa leeg niya at lumapit sa akin.

He's the reason why these two are acting this way.

"Grace and Callie are right. You're forehead has been crease since we started, you look unfriendly," sumandal siya sa table at humarap sa akin.

"Because I'm not," I crossed my arms and sat down on the chair.

Sinundan niya ang galaw ko.

We're here on the second floor because I'm starting to sew the dresses that will be highlighted at the event.

"Makakasanayan mo kapag palagi kang ganiyan, maaga kang magkaka-wrinkles," pasimple akong napahawak sa noo ko na nakapag-pangiti sa kaniya.

I used to complain about having wrinkles before that's why I keep smiling all the time, but because of him it's all being wasted.

"Why do you care? Lahat naman tayo tatanda." Kukuhanin ko na sana ang baso na nasa table para uminom nang maunahan niya ako at ibigay ang baso sa akin.

"Para sa audience na lang. Let out your emotions, Yanna. We're just working." Seryoso ang boses niya.

I took a deep breath and got the glass from him to drink. I calm myself and keep my facial muscles relaxed.

Kung tinitigilan nila ang panunukso nilang mga tingin ay hindi kukunot ng ganito ang noo ko.

Kinuha niya ang baso sa akin at siya na rin ang nagbalik pagkatapos kong uminom.

"Better?" Ngumiti siya.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin at muling tumayo.

"Let's continue." I look at Callie and Grace with a warning look. I still have a lot of work to do.

Documentation lang ito pero nagkakaroon pa kami ng delay.

I'll admit that working with Duke is hard for me. It's complicated to see the situation where the man who cheated on me is here again beside me. You can't expect me to easily work with him without thinking about what happened to us. I'm just keeping myself professional despite the personal matters that bind us.
