"Do you know that the cost to fix your car is quite expensive right?" He said his eyes still on the paper.
"It is necessary for me to know?" I question back
"Alright then your car will be fixed to a brand new as you want" I didn't try to stop the smite that way it's way out of me.
"How long will it take?" I needed to know. I cannot leave my car for too long in their hands and the fact that I'm using it. And I don't want to use Mom's car it will be a discussion for another day.
"24 hours"
"Just 24 hours?"
"Yes. You can leave your address . By tomorrow evening , your car will be with you" I nodded my head in answer that sounds okay with me
"Here" He passed me piece of paper and I scribbled down our house address passing the paper back to him.
"Okay. It's settled then. I will be expecting my car tommorrow evening" I rose up to a standing position adjusting my gown that was almost squeezed. I was about to slid open the door when his words stopped me.
" Can I ask you a question?" He said my brows knit in question. Nevertheless, I nodded.
"Are you naturally like this?"
"Like what?" I asked my brows creasing more.
"Rude" As the words left his lips, it made a light chuckte out of me.
"It depends on how I'm being treated. You called me a crazy woman and I gave you the taste of Craziness"
"I See. By the way, I was nice meeting you Miss Elise" He said. For the first time , he smiled and it looked good on him.
"It was nice meeting you too Mr. Elijah" with that , I slid the door open and walked my way out.
"Shit! How do I get a taxi in this quite area" I muttered out. And I didn't bring any money with me.
"I've called an uber for you. It should be here anytime soon" I heard Elijah's voice behind me.
Before his words could register in my head, a white car stopped in front of me.
Okay , It renders me speechless.
"Thank you" I uttered opening the door. I spared him a glance as the car began driving. His arms were folded across his chest. I rested may head back as I omit out a sigh. Maybe he's not that bad. But then it doesn't change the fact that he was rude to me at first. Had I not stood my ground, he would have left me to fix the car myself. I don't think we will meet again after this. I don't pray to meet him anywhere else.
In the next twenty four hours my car will be fixed . Just that thought brought me some relief. I know how hard I've worked to buy the car. A months of saving. Just twenty four hours. And then everything will be back to normal.
Just like every other day I busied myself in the office working on a new project I was discussing with the my client Nora. Nora is a beautiful woman and we clicked in almost immediately in our first meeting. I thought she would be like my previous client Skylar but then she's far more better than her. She's okay with me choosing the designs for her and everything. She's getting married in two months but then she wants everything to be moving in place. Everything to be moving slowly one at a time. That's why she decided to start working on her wedding dress and I'm so happy for her.
"What do you think if we leave the back open. Like it will be a V-shaped from the down waistline. But then it would be covered with a transparent lace what do you think" I suggested.
"It's actually make sense. Though I don't really want my body to be revealing but then having that kind of transparent lace will work out. I think I'll go with that"
"All right then that has been taken care of then. What's next? The front line how do you want the front line to be. Should it be a high neck or low neck. Which one and do you want? Should it be adorned with stones or other sparkling designs or entirely plain?" We were literally having a serious discussion. Because I make sure my client is satisfied with everything idea I bring on plate.
"You literally made me speechless Miss Elise" She said. My brows crease in question
"About what?"
"Everything. The way you explain the details. The designs and everything. It's just perfect.I don't even know what to choose from. I think I'm going to leave everything in your hands. because I know you will not disappoint"
That has to be the best compliment I received today. A smile resonate out of me. "Thank you Miss Nora for the compliments and yes I will not disappoint. Trust me on this"
"Alright. I'll leave it in your hands then"
"I will sketch out the dress and send them over to you through email"
"Thank you Miss Elise. I'll be on my way then. I have an appointment to catch" she said rising up to a standing position
"Thank you too Miss Nora. Have a nice day" And that was the end of the meeting
I still have a meeting with the next client but that has to be shifted because I was already exhausted" My eyes traveled towards the clock that was plasteted on the wall. It reads 3:45 PM. Just some few hours to go and my car will be with me. I can't begin to explain how weary it was to use a commercial car. Like I'm so used to my car that I haven't thought of using any taxi or a bus. It's not like the car is my first.
I had a car before that lasted for more than three years with me before I decided to buy a new one. And no, it's not with my parents money. From my own money. And that made me proud of myself. Being an independent woman ain't easy.
I have a Spa appointment at 7 PM And we decided to go with my friend Zara. Like she knew I was thinking about her, her call came through. "Speaking of the devil" I said immediately I picked up the call. "A devil's friend is also a devil" she answered and we both burst into a fit of laughter.
