I finally finished tidying up in the kitchen. I was expecting more things to do until I remembered that I should go to Melanie's studio.
I walked eagerly to my friend's work place, Melanie loved what she did and that made me very happy for her. I arrived at a corridor that contained several doors, some of them indicated: Shoemaker, infirmary, etc. I went to one that indicated the studio where Melanie spent most of her time. I opened the large door, in fact all the doors there were very large, and entered the place.
The room was large and the decoration was red and gold, there were two armchairs, I guess to wait until the clothes were ready, several hangers with various clothes and pieces of cloth thrown everywhere.
- Emillya! At last you came to visit me, it doesn't even seem like we work in the same place - Melanie came out of the fitting room with some clothes in her arms. She was probably tidying up in there.
She threw all the clothes on the armchair and turned to me with a smile.
- Hi Mel! Angie told me that I was supposed to come here, I didn't really understand why, so I decided to come here to satisfy my curiosity.
- Oh sure! Angie... - She said remembering something - Stay here, it won't take long - She entered another compartment of the room that led to the so-called "closet" where all the clothes already created by Mel were kept.
Melanie was young, but her work was very well done, she was chosen among many stylists much more experienced than her, she was 19 years old and never fell in love, she said she didn't have time for such a thing.
- Close your eyes," she shouted from inside the closet.
I obeyed with a smile.
- You can open them and contemplate this wonder!
I was simply stunned, Melanie was holding a dress, princess style, yellow with sleeves that went around her shoulders, it was long and covered her feet, her bust was embellished and her skirt was plain.
- Mel! That's very pretty... I can not accept ...
- Who said it's for you," he questioned and I blushed.
- Oh... I'm sorry I... - I said embarrassed.
- I'm kidding you silly, you should see your face, you're redder than a pepper.
- Ridiculous, aren't you?
- And of course it's for you! It's an anniversary present. Mine and Angie's.
She held out the dress and I took it, kept it inside a cloth to protect it, gave my friend a big hug and left very happy.
As I left the studio I bumped into someone.
- I'm sorry I...
- Spare me your apologies, little maid. - Juliet, the last person I could ever meet
I was about to leave when she stopped me and said:
- What's that in your hand?
- E... Melanie who gave it to me... to...
- What is it?" she asked with a mischievous smile on her lips.
- And... a dress lady I...
- Give it to me! - She said cutting me off.
- But... ma'am it's my gift and...
- Now and my... give it to me now! - Cut me again.
I didn't part with the dress and she pulled it from my hand and angrily entered the room.
- Worthless waitress- I heard her say.
Juliet you... -I thought
I went home to try to forget the fateful event. I was very angry with Juliet, too bad I couldn't do anything for the queen's beloved niece. I could lose my job, so I decided to try to forget.
I got home and no one was there. I went to make something to eat and then I took my shower.
My mother arrived after hours and I was already sleeping ...
...
- I woke up with my mother calling me.
-I kissed her cheek. I got ready and left for work.
As soon as I arrived at the castle I went to the kitchen.
- Miss Emillya is here? One of the king's servants calls me.
- It's me - I say with a certain fear, and also a little fear.
- The boy says and I obey.
I arrive at the throne room and the king and queen are sitting on the throne, on the queen's side is Juliet, I notice that she looks with great anger at a girl kneeling in front of the king with her head down. And oh my God. It's Melanie
