Ray got back from school quite early but he just went back home to rest since he felt tired. He had an upcoming event and he was working towards it tirelessly; he actually didn't want to disappoint his father. He sighed and laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. But then, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw "mom" displayed on the screen.
Well, he wondered why his mom was calling him all of a sudden but he picked the call anyway.
"Mom!!" He said immediately the call connected.
"Ray, can you do me a favor?" His mom asked and it sounded really urgent.
"Okay, what is it?"
"I forgot to pick up a particular dress for a photo-shoot and I really need it. But I can't come back home to get it now; can you help me?" She pleaded.
Okay Okay
The call ended after she told him the color of the dress and where it was. Ray packed it up and drove to the location she sent to him. He parked his car and went inside the tall building.
It was his first time here but heard of the name several times. He quickly asked for directions to the studio department. He rushed up to the 6th floor and saw his mom talking to a young guy. He walked up to them and gave his mom her dress.
"Oh Ray, you are a life saver. Thank you so much," Florence thanked him.
"Its fine, mom. Anyway why are you suddenly taking your pictures here?" Ray asked because he was quite confused. His mom was a fashion designer and she owned her own fashion house. She also had a studio there but it was weird that she was taking pictures in another studio.
"I just wanted to check them out," she replied smiling. "Anyway, I'll be changing into this dress so you can take a tour around the department."
"Okay." Florence quickly went into the changing room with the help of her assistant.
Ray on the other hand finally noticed the young guy which was around his age. He was on his laptop and wasn't giving him any attention. Ray only looked at him and left the studio.
When he was walking through the hall way after coming down to the first floor, a little walked past him suddenly.
He remembered that scent.
He knew that scent.
That soft baby scent that could sooth and put him to sleep. He immediately knew that she was the one.
The owner of the flowery handkerchief. He looked forward and saw her walking out of the building. He walked quickly to her and tapped her on the right shoulder.
Amanda turned and looked at the person that touched her. It was a handsome guy. She was stunned for few seconds before she returned back to her senses.
"Hi," she whispered.
"Hi," ray replied noticing all her reactions. Well, he was quite pleased that she was smitten by his beauty. But damn, she was a beauty herself.
"I'm sorry for stopping you suddenly. It's just that I have seen you before and you left something behind," ray said looking at her deeply.
"Huh," Amanda was confused by his words. "Where did they meet and what did she leave behind? ". She was only listening to him because he was too handsome.
"Sorry I don't understand what you mean," she responded.
"Your handkerchief; you dropped it while running in school but I picked it up."
"Ohh," Amanda exclaimed. Now she finally understood what he meant. Before she left this morning, she looked for her red flowery handkerchief but she couldn't find it.
Now she knew that she lost it. But when she looked at his hands, she didn't see anything except car keys. Ray understood her gaze and told her that he didn't bring it along because he didn't expect to see her here suddenly.
"Alright then; I'll be going then, bye." Amanda turned to go but ray stopped her.
"Let me give you a lift," he offered.
"No, it's fine." But ray insisted on her getting in the car till she agreed.
She got in and fastened her seatbelt; then Ray zoomed off.
"Are you working there," he asked while stealing glances at her.
"Ahh no, I'm not. I actually came for an interview;" she replied with her head down.
"Ohh!! I see. Well, if you need any assistance, you can contact me." Ray offered.
Amanda was surprised at what he said. Assistance? They didn't even know each other that much. But wait a minute, is he really rich?
Amanda wondered and finally looked at the car she was inside. OMG, this car was really expensive.
Ray saw all the expressions she had on her face and was amused. She looked cute doing that.
"Any problem?" He asked.
"Are you rich or from a rich family?" She asked seriously.
"Uhm yeah. Any problem with that?" Ray was starting to get nervous.
Did she have a problem with rich guys or what?
"Ohh, I see. Anyway my house is near so I'll drop here," she told him preparing herself to get out from the car.
Ray looked at her and sighed inwardly. Why did she want to get down so quickly? Did he offend her? Or was she uncomfortable? He wasn't done getting enough of her pretty face.
He parked the car and she went down.
"Thanks for dropping me off," she appreciated. Ray nodded his head and gave her his contact card.
Amanda also gave him hers and bid him goodbye. Ray waited there till he couldn't see her little figure again; then he drove away.
