Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 66

Just my second day here and I never wanted to leave. I had my hoodie on and a pair of shorts as I made breakfast, dancing to the music from my phone. I haven't felt this at peace in a long time.

My music stopped and my ring tone came up next. I placed the spatula down and wiped my hand before picking it up

"Hey Morgan, Good morning"

"Good morning Courtney. How're you adjusting to your new home?"

I smiled "I'm adjusting just fine"

"That's good. So I'll be sending Tom over to your house in an hour or so because you'll need to get somethings for work and other things for yourself in general"

And it keeps getting better

"Alright no problem"

Not long after, she hung up

I finished preparing my breakfast before heading to have my bath and Preparing for my tour around New York City

~~~

Tom arrived almost a few minutes after I was ready and we went straight to a boutique, apparently...Morgan already instructed him on where we should go. I arrived at this exquisite boutique I had ever seen.

"Hi good morning" one of the staffs greeted cheerfully "welcome to The Fashion Castle, how many I assist you today?"

I looked around rather confused "um... I'm here to shop for some outfits, casuals and cooperates" I informed

"Alright this way Miss" she led and I followed behind her.

We reached a room filled with so many clothes arranged on different ranks

"The left aisle is for the female casual and the right aisle are for female cooperates" she said to me

"Feel free to pick outfits of your choice and get them tested in the dressing room before finalizing your payment"

I nod "alright thank you"

She makes her way out, leaving me with two other female staffs probably waiting to attend to me....or to be sure I don't steal anything

I was really having a shopping spree for the first time in my life. I found it difficult to actually pick out outfits because I haven't exactly worked anywhere this big in my life so I didn't know what I needed to wear. I hand to call out to one of the staffs for help, explaining to her what I needed the outfits for and she picked out a set of classy, unique, colorful but yet simple outfits for me. A few of them wear gowns, some wear tops paired with skirts and cooperate pants. I picked out a three pairs of shoes that I could wear with the outfits and I made sure that I didn't pick too many clothes because they were too expensive

I paid with Morgan's black card which tom had handed me when we arrived and everything I got contained just two bags.

"Where else are we heading? Home?" I asked Tom after getting into the car

"Miss Brandon asked me to get you to a salon next"

I frown "A salon? What for?"

He begins the car "According to her, to get your hair fixed up"

I observed at my hair on my phone screen

"Fair enough"

...

"You spent way less than I expected"

"Way less?? I still feel like I spent too much"

I stood in my room ironing my outfit for my first day of working which was in two days while I spoke to Morgan on the phone. She wanted to catch up on how my preparation went

"Courtney, everything you spent today is way less than what I spend on my shopping spree" she said

I put the iron down "That's because you're spending your money, I can't spend someone's money like that"

She hums a bit "Well at least you're considerate. Have you spoke to your friends since you got here?"

"Of course I have" I places my folded clothes in the wardrobe

"And Eric?"

I stop briefly on my track before proceeding to my bathroom to turn in the heater "I don't have his number"

"Because you don't or because you don't want to?"

"What does it matter?"

She sighs "I don't really know what happened with you guys but you do know you can't keep his baby away from him just like that right?"

Can't I though? I can truly decide not to let him though "I don't....I don't know"

"You can't Courtney, but I won't push it because it's your decision to make"

I didn't say Anything and she continued "It's getting late, you should get some rest"

"Alright, thank you"

"Good night darling"

"Good night" and she hung up

I sat on my bed and picked up the phone. I didn't want to feel guilty about this whole thing

But little by little, I'm really starting to
