Billionaire Romance Boxed Set 1(200)

“That’s gorgeous! See what I mean, Deb? That’s talent right there. I can even see how the Eiffel Tower inspired that dress.”

“Thanks! We have to head back. I think I have some ivory crepe that will be perfect for this dress. I want to make the pattern tonight. Maybe they’ll even let me send it down the runway!”

Excited didn’t begin to explain how I felt. I loved this new dress and I had to make it a reality. I felt my confidence coming back and wondered how I let it slip away so easily. Briefly I thought I should apologize to Will for overreacting, but the thought zipped out of my mind as quickly as it entered. All I could think about was creating that dress.





Chapter Fourteen

Deborah



I spent most of the night creating a pattern for the new dress and then cutting the fabric. It was the quickest I ever designed anything and I couldn’t believe how much I loved it.

Out of the corner of my eye, the sun began to rise. I kept the curtains open so I could look out at my inspiration as I worked on the dress. I couldn’t have made the progress I did without seeing it right there. The view from the suite was perfect.

I couldn’t wait to tell Will about the new dress and how inspired I got. That was until I realized he thought we were broken up. How could I forget that? What if he didn’t want to talk to me. Or worse, what if he flew back home. He didn’t even know how I really felt about him.

A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my funk. I knew it was Dianna. That meant it was time for us to head over to the Carrousel du Louvre where all Fashion Week activities would take place.

“Have you been working all night?” Dianna asked.

“Yes, and I really think its perfect,” I said as I pulled the dress onto a dress form. “I just need to do some minor adjustments but most of those will come during the fitting anyway. Are you ready to go?”

“You have no idea how much I’m looking forward to this. How many people can say they worked on a collection at Fashion Week? Don’t answer that, you’ll ruin it for me.”

“I packed up everything else already. I know you need your morning coffee so we can ask the concierge for a place to stop at on our way.”

“Sounds good. I’m ready to have some café au lait, just saying it sounds special. Have you spoken to Will?”#p#分页标题#e#

I didn’t want to answer her. Feeling foolish, I tried to think of a quick change of topic but drew a blank. Instead as I packed up the new dress, I shook my head hoping she’d drop it.

“You said the front desk told you there are three rooms attached together. Why didn’t you knock on the last door?”

“I got so wrapped up in designing this and having it ready on time, I completely forgot they said that. Plus its not like I’m going to knock on the door in the middle of the night. What if its not even him?”

She rolled her eyes making it clear she wasn’t falling for my bullshit. Ignoring her, I finished packing up the things I needed for the fittings.

“Why are you doing this?” She asked. “I mean there’s a gorgeous man who came all the way out here with you and you’re ignoring him! Sure, you’re busy and all, but the last thing he probably remembers is you yelling at him. I know how upset you were when I got here. I can only imagine how you acted towards him when you found out.”

“Ok! You’re right, happy? I’m an idiot and honestly I’m too embarrassed by how I acted to see him. Do you have any idea how I felt when I saw that heart made of rose petals on the bed? I mean seriously, who does that? I don’t deserve him.”

“You are an idiot, Deborah. And if you really think fate didn’t bring you two together then you’re a bigger moron than I thought. I saw how he looks at you. Its like nothing in the world even exists but you. You can manage a few minutes to make sure things are ok between the two of you.”

I sighed knowing she was right. I needed to talk to Will and I’d might as well do it now before things got too crazy with Fashion Week. Who knew what Will thought of me now, or if he even thought of me at all. He seemed really angry when he left me in the hall but I didn’t want to lose him because of my own stupidity.

Putting my ear up to the other hotel room door in the main living space of my suite, I listened like I did at Deborah’s door but didn’t hear anything. Did he leave? Is he staying somewhere else? It was early so maybe he was still asleep. I shouldn’t bother him.

As I stepped away from the door, Dianna entered the room with her arms folded tightly over her chest. She didn’t need to say anything for me to know what she thought. I was chickening out.
