I gave myself a good bit of hope but that was soon shot down by a firm knock on my door.
It startled me so much that I jumped back, having to take deep breaths to calm my shaky hands. It seems I can't even enjoy a few minutes to myself without those mannequins coming to abide by her aid. I mean they are being controlled so what choice do they have.
Even so I still don't have much sympathy for them, they're the ones who could have left, who could leave, I can't. They have a choice and I don't. I wish I did.
I rolled over and propped my posture up, carefully walking to my door and laying on the side of it. "I'm up okay? You don't have to keep knocking. I know when it's my time to get up." I said with a firm tone. The reply that came after was not what I expected.
"Oh I am sorry Victoria, I didn't, didn't mean to bother you. You're mother just said later on there was going to be a gathering, a medium one. She wanted you to wear the dress I finished for you."
My eyes went wide at the sound of Charles' voice and I immediately opened the door after he finished talking. "Charles I'm-!" I looked down to the dress in his hand and it was the exact colors I wanted. Black and Purple. And, he was right, it was pretty mesmerizing.
It was a half and half dress, one side black and the other purple. It had a shiny, reflected glam and it was a pencil down dress. With cut long sleeves, an interesting working combo. I was impressed. Charles didn't fail my request at all. He succeed in my high judge full expectations.
He reminded me bit of Rene, her style was similar but his was a bit unlike hers. I never seen Rene work as quick as Charles did. Finishing a garment in a under a day. What quick pace, and did he have assistant? Especially with the delicate stitching on each layered pattern of the dress.
Charles looked up to me and cocked his head to the side a bit, "So I did good? I might've lost a few hours but aye. Nothings better than working the courant." I looked up at his spiky blond hair and slightly smile.
"You did exceptional,especially for completing the garment in under a day." I was a bit deride but only because I didn't want to show to much astonishment. Especially when we were being watched..
