Disconnected (Amnesia Sequel)

2 - The Emotions

'Today we have a massive client coming to us.' I hear Lily shout from her office. It's right across from mine.

'Who?' I responded.

'Candice Swanepoel.' Lily cheerfully screams.

'What?  Really?'

'Yes, her and her models friends are looking for a new agency to invest in!'

We scream and jump up and down. Having Victoria Secret models on your label is literally the biggest accomplishment you can ever get in this industry.

I quickly run over to my walk in closest and change my outfit. If you're in the fashion business you have to have a extra outfit nearby at all times. I learnt from the best.

"Lily can we match please?"

"Girl I'm two steps ahead of you, I already have my matching shirt out." She smirks.

"Yassssssss girlfriend"

We walk out and head to the conference room.
Taylor had prepared our lookbook and set up the whole room with everything we'd need to close this deal.

'Thank you Taylor.' I yell.

'No problem Ash.' She smiled and walked back to her desk.

Lily and I sit down and start to brainstorm our approach to the models. After an hour of brainstorming the models show up.

'Good morning ladies.' I smile as I welcome them. We all take our seats and start to discuss what they are looking for in our business and how we could help them.

'Thank you so much for seeing us, and I'm sure the girls agree with me when I say this was a very successful meeting.' Candice smiled.

'I appreciate it so much, I can't wait to do business with you guys.' I shake her hand and all the models leave.

'Oh my word that was amazing. I'm so excited for them to be on the cover of OED.' Lily exclaimed.

'Yeah me too. But where the hell is Cailey?' I asked sternly.

'We did a great job, just us two.'

'Yeah but this is OUR company. All THREE of us. The models expected all of us to be in the meeting to show how professional we are and she isn't here. We don't even know why she's not here.' I said.

'Why do you looked so annoyed?'

'Because I am.'

I got up and went to my office. I can't believe that she wasn't here. This was important to us and our future in the fashion world.

*On the phone*

Me: Hey baby.

Nathan: Hi my love, how are you?

Me: I'm great. I just wanted us to go out for lunch?

Nathan: Babe it's 11:30

Me: Well we can have brunch.

Nathan: I wish I could but I have a meeting at 14:00pm and I can't afford to be late. It's an important..

Me: Yeah yeah I get it. I'll see you later.

Nathan: I'm sorry Ash.

*end of call*

I hang up the phone. All I wanted was a nice lunch with my fianće. And obviously I'm not going to get that. I walk out the office and head to my car. I hear Taylor call me but I ignore her. I just need some space right now.
