Chapter 32 Back to work and Nathan is back!
Nalzen
I’m excited about the launch of Z Fashion. I will model the last collection. And be the final walked, wearing a beautiful new modern design bridal dress for Summer Collection.
I choose and select carefully the designers that I needed for Z Fashion. I didn’t look for their academics but their talent. Those who possess a magic hand to create a beautiful collection of dresses and clothes will surely be accepted.
What can I do for their prestigious academic records and famous school if their work is just a piece of trash? It’s useless. Talented ones are more useful and rightful to be called designers of Z Fashion.
Later on, I will have a meeting with the investors and I’m a little bit nervous. Hopefully, they will all invest in this project. I love this project and want to pursue it by all means, because this is my dream to become a famous designer.
Yes, I’am the owner as well as one of the designers.
I will design the first model to do the catwalk. Since our theme is for Summer I make and design a comfortable outfit for summer. I designed unique swimwear for summer. And imagine that this is the first walk! I make 5 designs and colors for everyone to choose from.
We have already made our page on every social media that exists for promotion. We already contacted some bloggers and models to promote too.
All is ready except for the investors. I needed a big amount of budget for this. And I’m very positive that it will become famous.
Aaron is nowhere to be found since we parted our ways this morning. He texted me that he is busy and until now he didn’t show up.
Our investors from London are coming. All the investors are big-time. And I’m getting nervous right now.
Ten minutes before the meeting starts.
My secretary called that all the investors are there except one. There are still 7 minutes left.
Ah, My hands are shaking already. It’s my first time managing my own company and being the CEO. I’am the famous Nalzen Villarreal but in the beauty and wealth category.
Not in the business field.
I’m glad that Aaron encourages me to pursue my Dream and like. But where is he? I need his support right now!
Where are you hubby?
There’s a knock at my door.
“Come in,” I said.
And my Secretary appeared.
“Miss Villarreal, the meeting will start in 2 minutes. The last investor said that it was okay to proceed with the meeting without him. He is coming but a little late.” She explained but I didn’t understand it all.
Oh, I need to drink coffee! I need to stay alert and awake.
“Give me a cup of coffee thanks,” I told her then she was gone.
I love this project and will do whatever to pursue and push my Dream. I’m looking forward to a positive result later.
And this is it!
I slowly open the door. And there they are! The 9 investors are sitting comfortably. The other one has not yet arrived.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
I walked slowly holding my laptop tightly for my presentation later.
I looked for my chair but to my surprise there’s Nathan? He’s smiling at me. So, I smile back at him.
I wanted to ask him where did he go and suddenly become one of my possible investors? But it’s not appropriate at the moment.
The moment I sit down the door opens and Aaron appears?
What is happening in here?
Don’t tell me Aaron is also one of the investors?
Destiny and Fate are joking at me, right?
“Sorry guys, But I guess I’m not late, It’s cool, just in time.” He said apologizing.
He sits down at my right side.
It’s nice! Nathan is sitting on my left side too.
Hopefully, I will be able to speak at the presentation and will not be distracted.
And the moment of truth is here…
“Goodluck Dear,” Nathan said.
Aaron hold my hand under the table.
“You can do it, wifey.” He said then wink at me.
I took a deep breath and proceed to my presentation.
Everything went smoothly. As I focus on my speech. I love this project so much.
And I heard a round of applause after my presentation.
But you know you cannot please everybody, especially in the field of business.
Half of them agreed to the idea but half of them also don’t like it. They wanted me to revise the proposal and everything.
But I declined.
“I’m sorry if I change the theme and put all of your demands the project will turn ugly. I must stick and proceed with mine. Thank you for coming in here.” I said calmly.
They are against the concept and the theme of the project. But this is my company and my passion as well.
If they don’t like it then I will look for other investors before I launch Z Fashion.
The meeting didn’t go well but I’m still glad that five agreed and Nathan and Aaron belong to that five as well as the London investors.
Everyone left except for the two. And my mind is floating thinking about the ways how to improve my designs and where did it go wrong. I will have a meeting later with all of my designers.
“It’s okay Dear, don’t think too much. But the other investors are right. The concept and some other designs are not that convincing.” Nathan said in a very slow voice. I am afraid that I might get angry at his opinion.
“Tsk! What are you doing in here Mr. Madrigal if you are against the concept? You better go home and back out as investors if you’re against it.” Aaron said venomously to Nathan.
I’m afraid that this two will quarrel again.
“You better go home, Mr. Montgomery. Still, I will support my Dear always.”Nathan answers smirking at Aaron.
“Can you two stop it? You’re not helping at all! Please leave me alone in here!” I’m pissed off and my mind is in chaos already. I don’t want an added fuel of anger in me.
“I’m sorry my dear.” Nathan apologize.
“You better go get going, Mr. Madrigal. This time I’am serious and have no time to play. I want to talk to Nalzen in private.” Aaron Sadi seriously while shooting cold daggers to Nathan.
Their eyes are telling something but I don’t know what it is. Until Nathan give up and walked away.
“Fine, you win Aaron. I’m going back to the office Dear. Let’s talk tonight.” He said then walked out of the door.
“Wifey are you okay? Aaron lovingly caresses my hair.
“I’m not.” I took a deep sigh. I don’t want to pretend. I’m not okay!
I wanted this project to become true. This is my dream. But still, I’m positive about it.
Aaron touch my face and kiss me. I kiss him back. And his hands crawl inside my skirt and proceed in between my thigh.
I stop him as this is not the moment for a heated romance. It’s a problem that needs to be solved immediately.
“Stop it, Aaron. There’s no time for this.” I grab his hand and put it over the table.
“I miss you already wifey.” He whispered.
I’m tempted but I need to be serious.
“Don’t worry, I will invest the remaining budget that you needed.” He said happily.
“Are you crazy? That budget is a big amount hubby. It’s okay with me, Don’t bother. I can look for other investors I can do it.” I said with determination.
“I can do it too. I want you to be happy wifey. I can be your only investor if you like and then declined Nathan’s Com.” He said. I can see jealousy in his eyes.
“Hubby, It’s unfair I guess,” I told him.
“Okay, but it’s final that I will fill in the lost investors. And I’m always ready wifey. Sign in here.” He’s holding a paper. I read it, and this a contract?
I didn’t notice the folder when he entered. Maybe because of nervousness.
“Seriously?” I asked in disbelief.
“Wifey, I’am always serious in terms of business. And I believe you can do it. You can even have an international branch later on. That’s what I can see for the future of Z Fashion.” He explained his reason and I’m amazed and surprised that he got a high expectation of me.
“W-what if I failed you?” I ask sadly.
“Don’t think about that. The project is perfectly made wifey. You’re a genius believe me, okay?” He said then kissed me again.
He is always kissing me and what he said boosted my courage and confidence. I’m about to cry.
Aaron is always there to help me. And Nathan? I don’t know!
“Your crying again. You’re tempting my wifey.” Aaron joked but I felt heat crawls inside of me.
“It’s not time for that hubby,” I warned him.
“Okay, calm down. Here sign it now.” He gives me the contract.
And what’s written is perfectly good. And I signed it in the end. It’s for the benefit of my company.
Aaron is always my savior.
And now he is caressing my legs and his head is resting on my neck.
“Wifey let’s go tomorrow at the beach.” He said.
“At Arthur’s private resort? It’s too far away. Can you find a beach which is near this area?” I can’t relax and have a vacation now. There are so many things that I need to do. But I don’t want to decline his offer too.
I wanted to be with him at the same time work is important also.
“I will look for a perfect spot that is near in here. Thank you wifey.” Then he kiss me aggressively and I kiss him back. His hands at my legs is now inside my thigh.
He inserted his finger and I let out a soft moan. Afraid that people outside may hear us.
I parted my legs a little for him to dig deeper.
And I can feel the sudden urge of desire possess my body again.
Then suddenly, the door opens widely and a pregnant woman appears.
“Oops… Sorry!” She said.
It’s her! At the restaurant…
Then she looks at me.
“It’s you? I’m sorry for disturbing you… I’m just looking for someone. Goodbye!” Then she closes the door.
What is she doing in here?
