Prologue

Katrina

"Miss, this is not how you do this. Are you new?" I asked as I handed the project paper that was given to me. Umagang umaga nag-iinit na agad ulo ko.

"Uh Y-yes, Miss Katrina. I'm really sorry, hindi pa po ako naoorient ng supervisor ko. Hindi ko po alam na sayo po pala diretso yung proj-"

"The rules is give the project paper to your supervisor first before giving it to me! Sino ba supervisor mo?" I cutted her right away and asked sino supervisor niya.

"Si Miss Via po"

"VIA COME IN TO MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW." I screamed as I knew that girl didn't do her job right. "You. Go" I pointed to the newly recruited girl and she went right out of my office hurried.

"Yes, babe?" yes babe?? are you for real?

"Via ano nanaman yan? Hindi mo raw inorient yung bago?? Girl, you know how much I hate them doing the wrong things. Anong klaseng project yon? 'Project Wannabe: Bring back 80s' I can't have that on my plate right now. Sino ba nagrecruit dyan?"

I massaged my temples as I speak to my one and only bestfriend about the situation. The world doesn't produce best fashionistas anymore, well except for paris of course. That's my dream to be part of the france runway, seeing my design getting worn by famous models like Kendall Jenner or Gigi Hadid.

"That's Bianca, she's actually Collin's sister" She explained as she eats the bread from my small pantry.

"So pinasok mo siya dahil kapatid siya ng boyfriend mo? are you serious? Have you seen her portfolio? Sabi ko gumawa ng project about life goals. Hindi naman connected yun sa 80s. Via naman"

We have strict rules regarding the project and designs sa company. This company is built by my mother. Sakin niya ngayon ipinasa dahil nagsasaya na siya sa life niya. Umiikot ikot sa ibat ibang bansa, sending me different fashion styles that we can get idea from.

"Life goals pala? kala ko freestyle" Via said and laughed. Jusko nga naman tong babaeng to.

"Sumasakit ulo ko sayo, umalis kana nga dito. Tell Bianca to send me another project designs na related sa theme natin. I'll give her a chance since kapatid naman pala ng boyfriend mo" I said and went to my laptop to check my emails.

"Parang ang bitter mo naman. Wala ka kasing boyfriend! Fine, I'll tell her that. Let's have lunch later ha? See you mwa" She said with a grin and went out of my office.

If hindi ko lang mahal yung babaeng yon! I don't need a boyfriend naman eh masaya ako sa buhay ko. I'm only 23 years old! Gusto ko pa magsaya sa buhay ko.

Ang daming workload for today dahil monday, usually lahat ng clients namin ay monday nagsesend ng kanilang mga inquiries and updates regarding sa mga gusto nila.

What I hate the most is ako pa talaga ang personal request nila. Some of the clients were from my moms, and nakita nila ang fresh designs ko na tumutugma sa society ngayon. Kaya naman iba sakanila personally ako ang nirerequest.

May iba naman si Via, dahil matunog din ang pangalan niya dito sa company. Magaling kasi siya sa revisions eh. Nagagawa niya ng tama. Kaso yung mga designs niya mostly expressive lahat may meaning.

I got up and went to get coffee from my small pantry. I forgot, hindi nga pala ako nagbreakfast ngayong umaga. Nasestress na ko sa upcoming competition, all chosen fashion agency have to showcase their designs. Kaya naman mahigpit ako sa projects ngayon dahil doon namin ilalaan yon.

Kahit ako wala akong maisip about life goals eh, hindi ko nga alam na may ganun palang theme. Iniisip ko if corporate ba ang magiging design namin. Pero I trust the fashion designers here in our company. Malaki tiwala ko sakanila dahil yung mga design naman nila ay may laman at may meaning. Nasa akin parin ang last comment if i-implement ang kanilang damit.
