My Little World

Chapter Eight

Tara's POV

I woke up with my alarm dancing on my head. I think it is natural to hate Mondays. I hate Monday and I'm not even a morning person also I've a daughter who has twice energy than I have and gets bored easily. I groaned and woke up to get ready for work.

I got dressed in a floral tank top tugged in a black skirt. Being an interior designer gets me a pass on all formal dressing nonsense. I wear whatever is comfortable and suits me best. I pull my hair into a high pony and applied a little mascara and lipgloss.

I took my necessary belongings and made my way out to find Emma sitting on the dining table and playing with her food as usual.

"Where's Jess?" I asked Emma and she pointed towards the fridge, there was sticky note.

I've work and kinda important. Your breakfast is ready and yeah drop Emma school and pick her up from the day care too I'll late today.
Love
Jess

I sat next to Emma with my breakfast and feed her her's. Making her eat is the most difficult task I've to do each day. After practically pushing every particle of food item into her mouth, I dressed her up and took her to school.

After dropping Emma school and informing the day care about Emma I rushed towards my office. I entered and the receptionist greet me. I went to my cabin put my stuff at the desk and took the necessary files and head to the board room. I saw Tessa, she is Sam's PA and my colleague.

"Woah you look.. rushed?" Tessa raised his eyebrow.

"Yeah I know but I've this important meeting with Xavier and I had some urgent work to take care of"

"Okay but he's being a royal pain in the ass today. Just giving you a heads-up."

"Really?" I asked. I know he can be a little temperamental but I've never really seen him being a problem with his employees.

"Yes totally" she nodded and left.

I entered the board room and Tessa was right.

"MR. COLLIN WHERE THE HE-" Xavier yelled on top of his lungs but stopped as he saw me.

"Hi" I said in a low voice, practically inaudible.

"Where were you? " he asked me in a stern voice

"Em- umm never mind I'm sorry can we start the meeting now" I was about to tell him about today's morning but then I stopped. I'm going to keep Emma out this as much as possible and also people around here aren't aware that I've a daughter and I want to keep it that way for as long as possible. He didn't say anything, just gestured me to sit.

We discussed about number of people coming with me and budgets and some necessities that he needed with reference to my designs.

"I've some blueprints of the place. Wanna look at them?" Xavier asked

"Yeah sure"

We walked to temporary cabin in silence and Xavier had a constant frown on his face. We entered the cabin and he sat opposite to me.

"Bad day?" I asked politely.

"Huh? Yeah. I couldn't get a proper cup of coffee this morning and without a good cup of coffee I'm not completely ready for the day."

"Let's go"

"Where? "

"To make your day better"

We entered my favourite coffee shop and I could feel the aroma touch my soul. It's not a very big place basically it's really small cozy coffee shop but the coffee is to die for.
