Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 Confused

When an impossible becomes possible and it will come in due time.

I turned around to confirm my assumptions about who owns that familiar voice. I blinked twice because I feels like that the way he gave me a wide smile seemed beautiful and thoughtful, a mood that is unthinkable.

It seems like just when he wanted to bury me alive because he was just annoyed and hated me.

"Let me lead you the way," the girl who opened the door offered me and before I could react, Sheldon butted in.

"You can stay here, I'll be the one who will assist her," he said seriously to the girl but not enough to make it vanish his wide smile.

"Okay, sir," she said and bowed her head as she went to her spot.

Sheldon shifted his attention to me and asked me to go with him. I nodded and silence filled between us as he leads me the way going to another hall where different kinds of clothing designs line up. It was beautiful and obvious rich designs that can be bought no matter how costly it is.

Because I couldn't help but praise how meticulous the makers were I didn't expect to crash into Sheldon's back. I accidentally inhaled his smell and it was not painful to the nose, obviously costly.

"I'm sorry," I said and as I'd expected that he will get annoyed but it is another way around, he suddenly chuckled. I didn't know what had happened but one thing I knew was his treatment was opposite to what I witnessed before unless he take drugs to make him realize that I'm not the way he think.

He suddenly stopped and I stopped as well t avoid bumping his back and he took a glance at me. "Don't make me old enough to follow behind me," he stated. He sounds joking and I don't know if I will take it seriously so I decided to go along with his pace.

"I hang out here sometimes when there is no class so you notice," he said while smiling and I just bobbed because I do not know what to say.

We arrived in a room with a label of a VIP section. He opened the door for me and I went in so he is. A space of different types of clothes, accessories, shoes lined up with a huge mirror that depicts any angle or reflection, a mini stage on the right side upon entering and a few doors opened up to me. I noticed a staff member approach us and ask Sheldon a question but I didn't bother to listen. My attention was drifted to the construction of every corner of the room and I was amazed.

I started imagining the structure of the whole building and how it was being designed but it suddenly cut off when Sheldon pokes my shoulder. I immediately shifted my attention to him when I didn't understand what he was saying but instead of retelling, the staff interfered, "For the dress madam, on behalf of all the staff, I'm apologizing for the delay. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday but there's an unexpected event happened."

"I see. Well, it's okay," I commented because I understand that not all the time was come to what it was supposed to be. "By the way, I'm Andrea, on behalf of my sister Frida, your client."

"Okay, madam." Relief on her face was evident. "I already signalled that it will be delivered as of today but before that, you can take a look at it and I just need you to sign some papers," she said. She turned around and started to walk.

I followed her leaving Sheldon behind to a room. She showed me a glossy white retro dress with a delicate embroidery lining and a piece of glossy white suit matches with white long sleeves that are complimentary with each other. "This is the first pair of designs."

"Okay," I said as I take a look at it all while taking videos of every detail. There are also a Chiffon off shoulder retro dress like a fairy chic dress, a classic shirt and jeans that look matching attire in a white pencil skirt and beige orange cropped top combo donned with a delicate design of neck scarves and some output suitable for garden theme prenuptial wedding.

I immediately sent the video to both Dondi and Frida. I glanced at the staff, "I'll just need a confirmation from my sister."

The staff smiled and handed me a piece of paper. "Just wait for our boss to come here," she said and excused herself for nature calling. I started to read the paper and it is all about weddings. I seem to be overwhelmed by the words stated on the paper and I can't seem to visualize in my brain what the designs look like. Suck of having no idea when it comes to fashion until I gave up on it. I just captured it and sent the photos to the two of them.

In a minute, the door opened and Sheldon and the man I asked earlier who was also in charge of wedding tokens were spat out.

"Nice meeting you, pretty lady," Cobygy, if I'm not mistaken by the name, greeted me as if we don't bump into each other earlier while finding the exact place.

"How is it going, Tricia?" he asked the staff who excused herself to the restroom and who assisted me. Her name is Tricia, now I know. Tricia looked at me as if asking me the status.

"I'm still waiting for my Frida's confirmation and we're good," I remarked. I shifted my gaze to Cobygy and inappropriate and judgement thoughts already run in my head. I just can't believe if it is true knowing how manly he was. It was unpleasant that his nice race will go nothing when by any chance. I suddenly felt chills in my veins.

"Oh, no young lady!" Cobygy chuckled. "If you think I was like that, it is no. No."

I suddenly felt my cheeks flushed with embarrassment about my thinking. "Sorry."

"This is owned by Sheldon's sister named Sissy and she was not around. Come to my office." He said while chuckling. Sheldon seems also to understand what going on and he's still can't get enough. "Sheldon, stop!" And with that warning tone, it vanished those teasing chortled.

We entered a door on the left side and when I came in, it was the same office space the last time I came. I glanced behind and I was fascinated by how it was connected to the other room. I roamed around and there this guy again last time.

"When is the wedding?" Sheldon who's next to me asked.

"Next month."

"But I notice, you handling some of your sister's wedding errands," he commented while offering me to sit on the couch.

I just shrugged my shoulders at his question as I sat on the couch exact in front of the guy. I let myself comfortable sitting next to Sheldon though we have enough space between us not to feel awkward while he kept on engaging me in a conversation and I realize that all this are new.

I moved over to Cobygy, who was on his laptop, and the guy whose name I believe is Calvin, who was also on his phone rather than his laptop. When I returned my focus to Sheldon, I became irritated by his zeal. Previously, he wasn't this way. He was frequently criticizing my errors, and I only saw him being defended me once, but nothing happened after that. Sheldon's attitude is somewhat different from what he displays now, but I believe it is all genuine and unpretentious.

"Why?" Sheldon implored; he seems to notice my reaction. "Is there a problem?" instead of answering him, I look at Sheldon's intently, his attitude is somewhat different from what he displays now, but I believe it is all genuine and unpretentious.

"Hey," Sheldon said. I moved a little bit and reached his forehead to check if he had a fever or what. But, it's not.

"All I thought, you have a fever," I instantly blurted. He looked at me seems confused by my sudden action but abruptly changed into a slight chuckled. We also got Calvin's attention and he seemed to be disturbed in what he was doing. I seemed to be drenched in embarrassment, maybe I was thinking irrationally so I immediately went back to my seat. After a second, my attention drifted to my phone vibrating and a message from Frida.

"Mr Montes, my sister sent me a message telling me that she already emailed you the confirmation of what you've been asking," I formally said.

"Drop the formality, Andrea," Cobygy remarked.

I was about to answer when Calvin spoke mentioning my name. My eyes widened because of his surprising reaction. He seemed as if a ghost had been seen. He spoke again my name and all of us inside the room faced him. "Your name sounds familiar. I saw you, at last."

I frowned at his strange remarks and I felt a little bit of pain inside me, little did I know, I had awakened a hidden mark inside me.

An hour had passed, my appointment finished and it's already settled so I decided to leave. Sheldon offered me to get some snacks in a nearby coffee shop so I agreed and I felt a little bit hungry. When we get there, I just ordered a regular coffee and I let him order what is he thinks the best seller for the desserts.

I took a peso bill from my wallet but he halted me and was not allowed to pay. "I invited you so let me pay the bill." I could do nothing but say yes and turned back to search for a vacant seat.

But before I could sit down someone pulled up the chair without warning and changed seats. "The stool has a crack."

Before I could react, he guided me to sit down. I seemed to be hypnotized and he followed. He took his food, moved it to the table and sat down in the front seat of me.

The next thing I knew, Sheldon is at our table who now holding our food. He looked back and forth between me and Asher. Can't believe he's suddenly here.

I suddenly felt tension between the two boys, a strange reaction that only the two of them could understand.

What exactly was happening?
