Seven years later
NOAH
I am almost going crazy , I've been staring at my laptop for the past hour just waiting , I am supposed to be notified if I got the job I interviewed for last month
NARVAYA one of the biggest clothing brands in the state ,they have a very few selection and I just …..
'Ding'
My eyes shot to the screen , they contacted!
" oh shit" I ran a hand through my hair … shit I can't do this , this too much pressure I need Jules " JULES!" my voice came out louder than planned and she came running in with a spatula in hand fear covering her entire face , made me wonder what a fourteen year old would do with just a spatula
" what, what ,what "
"NARVAYA contacted check if I got in " I told her motioning to my laptop she scoffed but with an eye roll she took my laptop and opened the link
Minutes felt like hours stretched to days cause she was just staring not saying a world her hands covered her face and I heard her breath in
" Jules?"shit she was scaring me , it doesn't look good " you got in " she said calmly looking at me with a smile
" what " I asked my heart pounding , I'm sure she could hear it , ever since mom and dad had an accident it's been…. Hard on us mostly cause it's just me and Jules now , I mean we got the house and a cafe my mom used to own but it was still a rough living , and I have applying for jobs so much that when all of them rejected me …. I gave up
" Noah you got the job" she said again hugging me tightly I almost cried, correction I cried
"Pull your shit together big bro your twenty three" I laughed
"Thanks for being there Jules " I told her and she smiled " I have to " she said softly
" because unfortunately you don't have any friends " I flung a pillow at her , she broke into laughter " just had to ruin the moment"
I heard her still laughing when she went back to the kitchen
I read that I would begin next week so good I had time to change my wardrobe
When mom and dad died we had no choice but to stay in Asia cause after high school they brought us here , dad had a business going on here so we moved , it was going very well till … they had a car accident on a bridge
We couldn't even find there bodies so it's just me and Jules now , no friends , no family
Something in me always reminds me that maybe it's karma for what I did back then
How we ruined someone's life just for my image
I closed my laptop heading to my room , it's been seven years , I should be over it by now but no my guilt never allowed me to forget what I did
A week later
MR.Jade
" I asked you to replace the head designer " I snapped at my assistant," do you think I have time to wait Michael or do you want to find a replacement for your self too" I asked glaring at him
I don't joke with my work and when I ask people to do something I expect them to do as I command
" it's just been two days sir " my gaze hardened on him
" i am minutes from firing you Michael" his eyes widened " my apologies sir …. We already found a replacement "
I scoffed leaning back on my seat "don't let this repeat itself Michael"
He bowed then read to me my schedule , I stood silently walking out of the room , it's not easy running a brand to many people because work comes first …. It always has
But to me , nothing is too difficult , I wasn't raised to slack off
I just have to make sure they fear me
I walked into the photo room where the designs are pre photographed it was wide , I was taught to read the room wherever I go and this one was giving
Fear and obedience, just how I prefer it , they wouldn't dare make a mistake , I pay well , that I'm away and I wouldn't dare higher someone wealthy , no strategy is high wrong someone weak but gifted , someone ready to go on all out just to keep their life in check
" excuse me sir " Michael's voice came to ear and I turned at the direction " this is the new head designer" my eyes trailed off him as he spoke to the one beside him
I froze
Everything in me started working up …. I thought I'd never see this one ever again , it's been seven years , but I made sure to keep this face tattooed permanently in my mind
Every bit of doubt I had evaporated the moment his name fell form my assistant's lips
" Noah Liams the new head of the designing department "
