Chapter 13 - I want this one

They showed her different blue colors for her to choose from, Ethan held up a sapphire color material up to her

" I think this color would complement your eyes very well" he said

But her eyes was already fixed on another color, as she reached for the material she felt the material in her hands

"I think I want this one" she said as she showed it to him, the color reminded her of Mr.Won eyes

"Oh my, you have such great taste, Serena" Ethan praised her as he gave the clothe to the other lady to jot down the material color

"Now, it time for the fabrics" Ethan said as he brought out another bag that seem to contain different fabrics, they displayed it for her to choose from

"Since you seem to know what to do, this time I will leave it to you for you to decide without involving my inputs"

"I suggest you feel the fabrics texture one by one" He suggested as he directed her

She reached for the first fabric that was placed in front of her, she touched it,

"That's a Chiffon, it is perfect for lightweight dress, perfect for layered growns and whimsical designs" one of the ladies provided for her

Serena kept it back carefully as she reached for another material she felt it fit a long period of time

"That one is a silk, it is soft, breathable and elegant, perfect for flowing gowns or form fitting dress" the lady provided. Serena kept that one too and reached for another fabric

"That a velvet ma'am, it rich, plush and sophisticated, ideal for cold months and statement pieces" she provided

The perusing continued for some time with the lady providing her with the fabrics names as she eventually dropped it down

Serena finally picked up the one she liked as she showed it to Ethan

"Oh Silk, that quite the perfect choice, okay let's take your measurements"

The ladies soon brought out a measuring tape, a jotter and a huge mirror, they made her stand in front of the mirror as they took her measurements, normally they do go over to influential people house that wanted to get their dress done but could not come over to the Fashion studio

Serena was neither influential nor extremely wealthy but since she was their boss best friend she was treated with absolute respect

Once the whole measurement was done Serena was asked to come on Wednesday to the Fashion studio for her first dress fitting, which she agreed and escorted them out of her home, she went back to her room after she saw them off

The next day Serena got dressed in her usual black and white casual office wear as she get prepared to go to work, she was in a pleasant mood and was thinking of many ways to defeat her boss

The man was absolutely upsetting as he would come late to work, on top of that he will not do anything through out work hours as he always seat down all day either pressing his phone or screaming his lungs out

Serena knew for a fact that Mrs. Olivia was supposed to be their Managing Director, every other person in the team also knows this fact, it was rumored that Mr. Richard had stolen Mrs. Olivia's proposal when he was just the Assistant Managing Director and Mrs. Olivia was the team leader, he had stolen her proposal and submitted it as his own

It was the said proposal that made him Managing Director, they had adviced Mrs. Olivia to open up to the board of management but she had claimed it was right, in her words

"It is common amongst seniors at work to take over their juniors project, and that she was fine with it"

Serena knew she was not fine but was only scared as Mr. Richard happens to have an uncle that was among the shareholders in the company, but Serena could not let him get away with everything as he was not a good boss, he was not responsible enough to be the Managing Director of any team

She made her way to the biometric check, before entering the very first elevator that was available for her floor, she made her way to the elevator, they were about 4 other employees already in the elevator, she greeted them as she went over to her floor

On entering her office, she met her team members, they offered their greetings which she answered,as usual Mr. Richard was not on his desk yet, he was always late she thought, she walked to her desk and set her handbag and phone on her desk

Mrs. Olivia soon came shortly after she arrived, she greeted her as she sat down and started preparing for her presentation for the first meeting she had in the morning with other team leaders for that day

She went to her meeting when she was done with her presentation, she came back to her office as she signaled Mrs. Olivia to meet her at the top floor

"I had a talk with a few team leaders from the other departments concerning the plan" Serena started

"They've agreed to help me set up the plan" hopefully before the end of today, we would see the full effects of the plan"

"Are you sure of this" Mrs. Olivia asked worriedly

"Of course I am, don't tell me you are having second thoughts?"

"This very man has not been pro-active in his duties as the Managing Director, he just shifts all his work to you, the Assistant Managing Director, which is not supposed to be, if you are fine with being exploited then you can drop out of this plan, I won't fault you" Serena said exasperated

"It's not like I'm not fed up of his behaviors and antics, it just that his uncle is one of the shareholder, I don't want to lose my job,I am the sole provider of my family"

" I assure you, you would not lose your job" Serena assured her

" Okay then, when will the plan start?"

"It is already in full motion,I am only waiting for their call"

Soon after, her phone vibrated as she received a text message from the person she had been waiting for, the text read

"I had submitted your proposal to our team Managing Director and explained everything to him, it has been approved and sent to the vice chairman' s table"

"That's great, thank you Ms. Divinity" Serena replied to the text

She turned to face Mrs. Olivia "the plan is already being assessed now,I'm currently waiting for the feedback" she told her

They both went back to their desk, Serena carried on with her daily activities, before she received another text message

"The vice chairman, would like to see you in his office right now!"
