Light In Darkness {Second book in the series of Eternal Love}

6. Problem

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.

"So what do you think about all the dresses?" Stacey asked while presenting the wedding dresses to Nathan and Darius. The interns looked with hope filled eyes at their boss.

"Perfect." Nathan gave thumbs up to Stacey and the interns with a grin. They all looked at Darius who scrutinized each clothing with intensity. His eyes lingered on the dresses of bridesmaids, making him remind the fight he had with Stacey. He just nodded his head with a frown and left for his office. Nathan and Stacey rolled their eyes but let out a smile nonetheless at his mannerism.

"Doesn't Mr. Brooks like the collection?" Asked Derek as he looked at all the dresses.

"We don't have time now. The fashion show is day after tomorrow and there is no time to change anything let alone make new dresses." Ali panicked.

"Calm down everyone. Mr. Brooks nodded his head which means he liked everything. If he had any complaints do you think he would have left without yelling at us, specially me?" Stacey said to which interns shook their heads.

"That only means everything is up to his expectations." Nathan's assurance made all of them relax visibly and smile proudly at their work.

"And now you all are allowed to get a break as the last month was tiring. Have rest of the day off. I will meet you on the day after tomorrow at the show. I must say you all very talented." Nathan beamed at Stacey's team who let out a chorus of thank you.

As they left Stacey also collected her stuff with shaking hands. Her hands were fidgeting and she clumsily emptied her table. She bit her lower lip, making Nathan frown at her. He shook his head and stood next to Stacey, blocking her way out. She looked at him with a weak smile. As Nathan kept on staring at her wordlessly, she sighed and her shoulders slouched down in defeat.

"I am nervous. What if something went wrong on the show? I have promised your son that I will resign if I fail in this project."

"I don't know what will be the results of the show, Stacey but let me tell you that I am proud of you and the way you are leading your team. And now cheer up. You have some people waiting for you." Nathan said whilst hugging her.

"So Aaron and Xav are here already." Stacey said with wide eyes and her lips formed into a big grin.

Nathan laughed at Stacey's sudden excitement due to which her nervousness completely vanished away.

"What are we doing here then? Come on let us pick up Stella and meet both of them. I missed them."

"Slow down, girl." Nathan shook his head with a grin at the squealing Stacey.

"Robert, please hurry up." Stacey was barely containing her excitement, earning laughs from her chauffeur and Nathan.

"I have to be in the speed limit, Stacey." Robert chuckled as Stacey pouted and sulked in the backseat.

"Let us pick up our princess at least." Nathan said as they reached on the play way's grounds. Stacey bolted out of the car and ran towards her daughter who was sitting on the bench, kicking invisible rocks. She kissed Stella's forehead and took her into the car.

"Grandpa." Stella settled on Nathan's lap and kissed his cheeks.

"How was your day, Stella?" Nathan asked, smiling at the little girl whose violet eyes lit up as she talked happily about her day. She peeked at her mother who was smiling whilst looking outside, admiring the soft orange and pink hues of setting sun on the blue sky.
