Kathrine's Atelier had so many brand to it, Kathy was the sole founder of Kathrine's Atelier, she had been able to work with so many brands and has won numerous awards ranging from Rising Star awards to Most Creative Fashion Designer, she was able to do all this when she was barely 21years old. She had supports from her dad but it had also been her dedication and hard work that kept her going ever since, she is currently 23years old and had kept her business going for two years
Serena packed her car in the Fashion Studio parking lot as she made her way to Kathrine's Atelier, Kathrine's Atelier was a three-story building it is sleek, with minimal decor, and plenty of natural light that enhance the inside of the studio making it easy to look and assess every corner
There was large work tables, fashion sketches and fabric swatches in the design area, Serena thought as she made her way to the receptionist table, she could hear Xo by Beyoncè playing faintly when she entered the studio
That was currently Kathy's favorite song She thought, she always heard her playing this particular song on repeat whenever she comes for visits
She turned over to the Receptionist "Hi, I have an appointment with Ms. Kathy this afternoon"
"What is your name ma'am?" The receptionist asked, she was about to answer when she heard Kathy's loud voice
"What do you think you are doing standing there Rena?"
"I've told you, you don't have to go through this procedures"
"It's normal etiquette Kathy, I can't just barge into your Studio, what if they call security on me?"
"Come on with the dramatics, you know you can always call me" Kathy said as she winked at Serena playfully
"Anyways good to see you Renie, I thought I smelt your sweet scent that was why I rushed down here, lo and behold it was really you" Kathy said in a singsong voice as she pushed her way to hug her
"Really now?" Serena rolled her eyes at her, while smiling at her
"Enough with that now, are you ready to see your dress?"
"Is there any luck I can try convincing you against this, I think I can win him over without doing this" Serena bargained
"Absolutely no luck Renie, now let us go upstairs, Ethan had been looking forward to seeing you in the dress" Kathy winked at her
Serena finally gave up, they made their way to the fitting room, the room was extra large, it has Huge mirrors, comfortable lounge chairs and ample space for try one
Kathy made her go into another room as she declared that she will get change in that room, Kathy went back to the fitting room, she sat down in one of the chairs, as she anticipated Serena look
Serena was led to another room, she could not complain as she watched as the same ladies that came for her measurements bring out a dress carrier, she was made to stand in front of a mirror as she was dressed by the two ladies, once they were done they made her stand on a platform as they pulled the curtains to reveal Kathy and Ethan sitting on the chair in the fitting room, surprisingly the room she was in was directly connected to the fitting room, when she came into view Kathy and Ethan both stood up from the chair they were sitting on as they gaped at her with their mouth wide open, Serena suddenly grew self-conscious as she fidgeted with the gown
Kathy was the first to regain herself she rushed to Serena, her eyes shining with contentment
"I know you were always beautiful, but looking at you now, the word beautiful is a great understatement you look like a goddess Renie" Kathy gasp
"I suddenly want to hide you from this wicked world, I don't think any man deserves you Renie and to think you have not even put on makeup" there was a long pause before she said
"I was told you were the one who choose the color, you have such great taste" Kathy continued showering Serena with her praises
Ethan seemed to have recover from his daze state, he opened and closed his mouth with no words coming out before he finally said
"OMG! Serena you are breathtaking, you should just take this dress home with you and wear it for the rest of your life" he said and gasp before rushing to her
Serena was so shy from all the praise that she did no know where to keep her hands
"Now, I want to take you home with me" Ethan said, Kathy slap his shoulder
"Shut your mouth Ethan and don't make Rena uncomfortable, let's get you out of this dress before this man over here strip you naked with his eyes" Kathy said as she turned to the other ladies with a nod, they quickly rush to Serena side as they took her back to the other room and assisted her in getting changed to the clothes she came here with
Kathy went over to the room as she ordered the girls on a few finishing touch and amendments on the dress, before she eventually escorted Serena out of her studio
"You have grown quite, what is the matter?"
"I'm just wondering if I would be able to impress him on that day"
"I've you seen yourself Renie, he would be a fool if he does not see your beauty, you were stunning Renie you know I don't give out empty complements right?"
Serena hummed as they got to her car, "I want you to come over to my place on Friday, we would go to the event from there"
"Okay" Serena agreed
"Trust me Renie by the time I'm done with you he will not recognize you again"
Serena kissed her cheeks as she went inside her car, Serena could not really understand the hype, because when she looked at herself in a mirror she only saw the plain girl that she was, she could not get why Kathy thought of her as a great beauty or why she was hellbent on dressing her to the point of obsession
She did not view herself as a great beauty the way Kathy thought, to her Kathy was the beauty, Kathy was tall, her dark wavy black hair cascade down to her shoulders, complementing her bright, expressive brown eyes that sparkles with a mix of warmth Confidence
Her dark wavy hair was a striking contrast to her vibrant personality, adding an air of mystery to her already captivating presence, she had a low dimple on the right corner of her mouth making her shine bright and look approachable when she smiles, Serena was in deep thoughts as she got inside her car to drive home
As she drived home her mind suddenly wandered back to Mr. Won
"What is so special about him that I can't get him out of my mind" She thought or was it because he was the first guy that ever rejected her, she could not figure it out
