A Mixed Love

Chapter 21

monday✨

Layla POV*

I walked inside my office and put my stuff down so I can get situated before I have to start working. I've been trying to come up with new designs that will get the attention of Ms.Barbara.

I started designing stuff on my computer when my desk phone started ringing.

"This is Layla"

"Good morning Layla. This is Angie"

"Good morning Angie"

"I have a package for you downstairs in the lobby. Do you want to come get it or would you like to have someone send it up?"

"Um...can I come get it on my lunch break?"

"Yeah, I'll just set a reminder on my computer to call you again"

"Okay, thanks Angie"

"No problem"

I hung up the phone and continued designing.

four hours later✨

I logged out of my computer and grabbed my phone so I can go downstairs. I walked over to the desk and smiled.

"Hey Angie"

"Hey, let me go get your package", she said standing up and walking to the back

She came back out with a box and placed it on the table.

"Did it say who it was from?", I asked looking at it

"No. It was on my desk when I got here. It was left with a sticky note that says Layla", she said handing me the paper

I looked down at the paper then back at the box.

I grabbed a pencil then said sarcastically, "Well this isn't dangerous at all"

I grabbed the box then walked outside. I put the box on the ground then opened it.

"What are you doing?"

I turned and seen Cassidy walking out the building.

"Somebody left me a package here with no name attached and I'm being cautious"

I opened the box and seen flowers and a bag of cotton candy.

"Aww somebody bought you flowers", she said

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Girl that is so cute!"

"It has to be from Monte"

"What happened between you guys?"

"Nothing important", I said closing the box

"Something must've happened for him to be sending you flowers and cotton candy to your job"

I grabbed the box and stood up. "He lied to me and now we aren't friends anymore, that's it"

"Well, good luck", she said chuckling and walking to her car

I walked back inside and started walking back to my office. I put the box on the ground and started eating my lunch. As much as I missed Monte, I did not want to think about him.

later on that evening✨

I shut down my computer and started packing up my things. I heard someone knock on my door so I looked over and seen Ms.Barbara.

"Come in"

"Hello Ms.Layla, I wanted to stop by before you left and invite you to a mini fashion show I'm hosting Saturday. I want you to get a taste of how much attention your design could have once you get picked"
