THE JOURNEY OF US

Chapter 31

He was still handsome. Even more than school life. This time, his eyes had no sparkle. I could see nothing other than darkness in his eyes. He had wore a black suit with a formal white shirt. 

   He walked inside and sat in front of me. I was too stunned to see him. Another woman came with him holding his hand. My client said to Josh, “This is Lydia which I was talking about. She made all the clothes that you wanted.” 

   Josh looked at me. The woman beside him said, “Really, I loved your designs very much.” I said, “Thank you.” She said, “I forgot to introduce myself. I am Alice Lockwood.” 

   She was the owner of Lockwood company. She had dark black hair, siren eyes. Her hair was wavy. She was wearing a white shirt along with a black blazer. She had wear high black heels. 

  I said, “Nice to meet you. What designer clothes should I make?” Alice said, “Well I want fashionable clothes. Made something which is in trend.” “Sure. Anything else.” I said, smiling at her. 

  Alice said, “Yes. I need a wedding dress too.” “He is my fiance.” Alice said, holding her hands with Josh. Josh smiled towards her. “Maybe we should go now. I have a meeting soon.” Josh said, looking towards his watch. 

    Alice and Josh left the office. It was unbelievable. Josh is going to marry Alice. He moved on so easily. Of course, eight years had passed. I was very sad. I went to meet my friends. 

   

   I reached Blue Bottle Coffee. I entered inside and waved at my friends who were waiting for me. “You are late again.” said Clara. “Just inform us if you will be late.” said Becca. 

   Clara and Becca were twenty-five years old living together. Becca and Clara were twin sisters. They both looked very similar. Blonde hair and doe eyes. The only difference was Becca had blue eyes whereas Clara had black eyes. 

   “Sorry guys. This will be the last time, I swear.” I said. “So anything new with anyone.” Clara said. I said, “Guess who I met today.” “Who?” Clara exclaimed. I said, “The owner of Lockwood company, Alice Loodwood.” 

   Becca and Clara were stunned and started to look at each other. “Really. Lucky you.” said Clara. “She wants me to design some clothes for her.” I said taking a sip of my cappuccino which Clara had ordered for me. 

   Becca said, “She is so famous. Her cosmetics company is so good. Her products are my everyday use. She looks so beautiful.” 

   I said, “This is true. I am so excited to work for her.” Then we started to talk about our work. We talked for some hours and then I left. It was really late.
