Match Made In Heaven (Part 8)

(Original)

Francis felt different about Hannah then the way she thought about the others, she was more, INDEPENDENT! She seemed to walk to the beat of her own drum and the opinions of others had no influence on her choices. She smiled at the thought and went back to the designs on her desk.

Later that day Hannah came back into the office holding a single sheet of paper. Francis looked up and smiled at Hannah which made her smile back. She could tell it was forced, she was obviously very nervous as she stepped closer to Francis' desk.

"Umm, I-I-I have my first design." she croaked out as she put the piece of paper face down on Francis' desk. Maybe I read her wrong, thought Francis seeing how Hannah reacted when she picked up the paper.

"Well designs go to Julia and she gives them to me." Francis said but still picked up the paper and looked it over.

"Oh, sorry, I'll do it next time." she said sheepishly as she leaves the office.

Francis looks at Hannah's design and is amazed by the detail, it had tank-top straps with a width of 1 inch, it tightens in the waist with an optional string belt. it flows out shortest in the middle of the dress than it spreads and drags behind you, she drew the flower design very carefully drawing each flower with precise details and in the margin she wrote the supplier of the flower fabric and did all the necessary research.

The next day Francis took Hannah's design up to Caitlyn's office to show her the most exquisite work done all year. Caitlyn was also surprised to see how detailed and beautiful her cousins work was she said it would be approved and that Hannah could start working on the pitch.

After Hannah's lunch break Francis called her up to her office where she told her the news. Hannah couldn't believe it at first and needed to sit down, Francis gave her a glass of water and explained how to put together a pitch. Hannah finally came to terms as to what just happened and asked about the specific details that led to making the pitch. Francis explained that first they would contact the supplier and ask for an order of the supply.

"Just tell Suzan, the fabric code number and how much you want, make sure its enough for just one dress. Suzan will get the fabric and you will have it by since it takes about 3 days for it to be delivered you will receive it on Thursday. As for what you can do in the meantime I would get a typed copy of all the notes you took on the dress from yesterday. Get a few drawings of what it would look like from different points of perspective, and don't forget to include any special features the dress may have. I want you to know this is a big achievement for someone to reach on their first day here, you are very talented Hannah and I am happy to have you." Francis explained smiling. she looked at Hannah and realized that she was totally determined to get this done, when she first put ink on that paper she knew she was here to work miracles, she knew what she was capable of, then it dawned on her, this is just a fraction to what she can actually do. she has it inside of her and when it comes out its going to be beautiful.

"Ok I'll get to work on that!" Hannah says enthusiastically, pulling francis back from her dream world.

Once Hannah leaves Francis gets a text from Molly saying, "Hey, if your not busy with your not busy with your new boyfriend we should go out tonight, just like old times."

"Just like old times." she whispered to herself then responded.

"Sure, I'd love to, meet me at work at 6 and we can go out, I have a change of clothes here so we can hit the town😜" she smiled at her text then went back to work.

Later that evening
At 5:50 Francis went into the bathroom to get changed and found Hannah applying lipstick to her lips.
"Hey, Hannah!" She says as she turns into a stall.
"Oh! Hello Ms. Wells, I was just getting changed my shifts almost over." Hannah says nervously and turns around to see Francis' face disappear behind the stall door.
"Call me Francis and it's totally fine I'm here to do the same thing." Francis chuckled from inside the stall "So where are you going? You look nice."
"Nowhere, my uncle is taking me out for a night on the town!" She said turning back to the mirror.
"Oh, who's your Uncle?" Francis asks coming out of the stall wearing a nice blue tee-shirt with black jeans and black boot heels.
"It's funny actually, it's, um, Frances Newkirk." She said as she put away her lipstick "actually he's downstairs now if you want to meet him." She offered and Francis shrugged and followed her downstairs.
When they got down there Frances was at the end of the hall.
