Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 130

No holiday is more felt in the air than Christmas....

Hold your horses, it's not Christmas yet....but we're in it's month already and I can definitely tell you that this Christmas is going to hit differently.

We've been having consistent dinners and get togethers with Lady Audrey and whatever she was trying to do was definitely working.

Along side Christmas, we had Sophia's wedding to plan and along side her wedding, I had Morcé to attend to....

Isn't that a lot?

I've been having back to back meetings with Martinez Constructions as well....not like I didn't love it though, but it's been a lot of work and the load of this project was resting heavily on my shoulders for some odd reason.

"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting" I hurry to take my seat beside Eric, our attention directed at Morgan.

"No problem, sweetie" she waves it off

"So, you wanted to talk to us concerning something?"

She nods "you in particular"

Okay....

"So, first of all, I have a trip to make early next year so you and Clinton will be handling a lot of new year events on my behalf"

That catches Eric's attention

"She and who? We really need to talk about this Co designer"

Morgan let out a chuckle while I clearly cover my face in shame.

"Nothing to worry about, Eric. Clinton's her partner and I can assure you they won't have so much time together that anything will happen"

A frown suddenly settles on my face "we do work in the same company, don't we?"

She nods with a smile "you do, but you just won't be there as often"

I readjust my position, turning to face her properly "I don't....I don't understand"

She takes in a deep breath "Courtney, I need you to run the boutique here in LA"

Wait, what?

My brows shoot up in surprise "Wait....wh...I don't....what do you...."

"Courtney, calm down" she stretches her hands towards me "Calm down, My love. I'm not firing you, nor am I replacing you. MFE has only two fashion designers and that's You and Clinton."

I let out a sigh of relief. I was very close to having a heart attack.

"What are you saying then?"

She takes in a deep breath again "now, your life is here already and so is your husband. I can't hire someone outside to run my biggest brand boutique when I have someone I already trust here."

"But wait" Eric finally speaks "how is she suppose to work at MFE like that?"

"Well, Eric, you'll have to release you wife at least 4 months in a year, she'll choose whichever month but September and October are literally non negotiable due to the fashion show"

I turn to Eric before turning back to her "But Morgan, this is your biggest brand boutique, how can I possibly look over it?"

She raises a brow "look over it? My love, you're running it. You'll be in charge of hiring staffs as well as a manager if you'd like. It's almost like it's yours, almost"

Are my ears tingling?

I get to run the MFE'S biggest boutique as well as being it's female fashion designer?

Oh talk about an upgrade!

I turn back to Eric "Hubby?"

His gaze shifts between Morgan and I as we wait for him to say something concerning the 4 months trip.

"You know I'm behind you all the way, right?"

A grin forms on my face "I know"

"Whatever makes you happy works perfectly for me" he places a hand on my thigh "just do you and I'll support you"

With a grin on my face, I turn back to Morgan "Guess we have a deal, Boss"

She nods with a smile displayed on her face

"Sure we do, Boss Lady"
