My Perfect Bride- Editing Begins

Chapter 3: The List

Emerald Wright

It has been two weeks I have joined iDream fashion.. And gosh it was big like a big seven star hotel ... The huge buildingit took a while for me before I got acquainted to it.

My desk was assigned adjacent to  Mr jerk a.k.a Austin's cabin.

The building was huge. And it looked like some a seven star hotel. So many floors , so many dedicated rooms. There were couple of floors where there was provision for Models to stay. And there was an exclusive floor for the family only- means Salvatore's.

It took me a week to memorize all this.. The staff had different elevators where ad the guests had different. The bosses had the personal elevators.. And since am the personal assistant I had to travel with him most of the time .If not with him, I used the general lift.

The reason this is getting difficult is that in this two-weeks we had finalized meeting with seven potential brides , Austin managed to reject them the same day and what I didn't understand was why because they seemed very chirpy and happy to meet him but eventually they come out angry or they look at me like a accusatory tone , I couldn't understand.

The last girl who met Austin was one who would have really complimented him, she was tall, light blonde haired beautiful size 0 and also very polite , a model in the past who had was very grounded.. She seemed nice to me but later she looked at me as if I decieved her, I didn't understand.

I went to seventh  floor which had wedding outfits for the bride, it was my favorite floor, every girl has a dream to get married. Especially the wedding dress they will wear, I looked at the couple picture displayed on the enterance door, they seemed so much in love, it was their wedding picture.

The woman in the picture had hazel eyes, exact shade of what Austin had, and the man resembled him so much, it didn't take me long to realize they might be his parents. I have always stayed away from the gossips, since I was always occupied and happy with my non eventful, and simple life. If you'd have asked me before I would work in such a big fashion house temporairly I would have laughed but life is unpredictable.

Austin stayed true to his promise, he has a reputation of being a womaniser, but he didn't flirt with his staff or the models which gave him suggestive looks.

Contrary to what I had thought about him,he was focussed in his work, but to me he was annoying . His mere presence annoyed me. Today I was done with the work, but since my boss was busy with a meeting I had to wait, I decided to wait in my cabin. 

Austin was busy talking to Tyler at the conference hall and I tried to think about something which keeps me occupied.

After a while I was waiting ,I decided to arrange things on my bosses table for once. The table was in a shabby condition, I decided to arrange things in a discipline manner and suprise my boss..

A loud voice got my attention I saw a file which fell on the floor.

Keeping it back in the original form I came across something which made my blood pressure shoot up higher..

When I signed the contract I never thought it would be including insulting another women, good or bad is secondary.

Without thinking I did the unexpected thing went to confront that asshole named Austin Salvatore ..What does he think of himself. Fuming with rage I rushed at the conference hall.

The meeting was over and he seemed to wrap up ... I didn't have time for that.. Throwing the sheet of paper on his face.

"what is this " I seethed . The hall was vacant and there was only both of us.

He looked at me angrily first and then lifted the paper , obviously he doesn't intidimate me.

"Have you forgotten you work under me, is this the way how you talk to your boss" he seemed amused.

"Boss my foot! Did all the women you met gave me the look because you ask them this question, because you invaded their private space? "

I don't believe the nerve of this man

He pretended to think something and then he looked at me, I don't know what but he suddenly smirked at me.

"Actually Miss Wright why don't you do one thing you ask the candidates about this they would be less embarass and then fix the date so that my time is not wasted"

Is he out of his mind I would never.

"Have you lost your mind? I wont ask any such thing and downgrade someone else .And interfere in their private space, what if someone asks you this" I shot daggers at him.

First he came closer to me and whispered in my ear, "oh believe me Miss Wright they know"

I closed my eyes and held my hands into a fist, to control my temper.

He stepped backwards and maintained a distance and continued

"I am not asking you Miss Wright, this is an order, remember you have signed the contract" he was about to leave, when my words stopped him in tracks.

"Not anymore!"

I said firmly, he turned around, looking right in his eyes ,I said " Because I quit!!"

"I guess you haven't read the contract Miss Wright, I would suggest you read it first " he paused, pretending to think.

" You just can't quit ,unless you find me a bride and the alliance is fixed"

"I don't care , sue me all you will, I really give any shit about it asshole."

I raised my voice angrily. I stepped ahead and challenged him. What does he think I am?

He still appeared calm , he squinted his eyes  "you.don't.have.a.choice". He emphasized on each words and I could feel his rage in the room where there were only two of us. I felt cold, but I didn't held back, does he realize how wrong he is?

"Do you realize how wrong this is, is this what your mother has taught you to disrepect women?" I asked " what if someone asked her this question about her virtue .."

Before I could finish my statement I felt a sharp pain on my elbow, Austin pulled me near him.

He looked dangerous gone was calm exterior, the rage was now visible as he spoke,

"Never ever bring my mother into our discussion ever else you would have only yourself to blame in future " he warned me.

I winced in pain that grip was harsh,his eyes lingered on the path of my arm he seemed to gain his composure and leave me and he left taking the paper sheet with him.

I  held the glass table for support and kept replaying the confontration we just had.

I couldn't believe it, I was the one who was in front shortlisting those prospective bride asking them queries about their life and also their liking I had fix a date with Austin.

How do I know he would ask them such a personal question.. With due respect to all virignity is individual choice what decisions you take and what people think of you there is nothing wrong if you are, also if you aren't it's fine.

Many girls are embarrassed when this question is asked, now a days it doesn't matter but still it's very confidential & mortifying for a woman to answer them.

Indirectly , Austin was weighing this against their character which was wrong.

I couldn't even see myself finding another prospective bride for him and arrange the date for him, I didn't even know if it was serious or just a joke for him. What if I ruin someone's life. I was breathing heavily and my head was spinning.

Isoothed my bruised elbow closed my eyes "what I have got myself into"
