Chereads / Falling by Design / Chapter 13 - D-DAY 1

Chapter 13 - D-DAY 1

Soon, the opening day arrived. 

A day before the opening ceremony, April couldn't relax as she continued to make calls, confirm emails sent to guest and co-artists. 

Even Grace wasn't spared; as April continued to ask questions frequently. She would come down the stairs from her room to the sitting room and pace around from left to right. 

Perry, Stacy and Liam, began to wonder what was wrong with her, but they could understand what was wrong. As a first time company owner and experiencing the first event, one would be very anxious and nervous. 

Due to her impatience, she went to check the art gallery again if there had been any mistakes made by the employees. As big as the building of the gallery was, April walked through everything as she confirmed it's perfect. 

She sighed, she just finally relaxed her nerves as she had confirmed everything was okay. On her way home she called Grace;

Hello, Grace? 

Yes, miss April. How can I assist you? 

Can you please confirm with the security team if they'll be there tomorrow? I need to be sure. 

Yes miss April. I will do that now. 

Alright then, thank you. 

No problem miss. 

 Immediately she got home that evening, she went to the kitchen to have a glass of milk, she was so exhausted to stomach any food. As her head hit the pillow, she immediately fell asleep. She didn't bother washing up as well. 

Very early in the morning by 6:45am, April had already woken up before the rest. She quickly made a call to Grace to check if the security team had arrived, as the event was to officially begin by 11am. She also made a call to the team managers of attendant departments as they were one of the important employees needed for the events. 

After making calls and confirming that everything was okay, she then relaxed as she now began to prepare herself. 

The makeup artist and hair stylist already called to inform that they were on their way. April only needed to bath, get ready and eat breakfast before making her way to the gallery. 

Perry and Stacy were already awake when they heard April's voice as she was making calls. They were happy finally that April has achieved her dreams. But they were worried she would exhaust herself. 

They both made way to her room to check up on her. 

Hey buddy, Stacy said as she opened the door without knocking. 

Don't you know how to knock? I don't allow disrespectful behavior in my space, with a smug look at Stacy. As Stacy rolled her eyes at her. 

Will you guys stop beefing each other. Perry said as she sat on the bed. 

They both stared at each other before laughing out loud at the same time. 

Perry sighed as she couldn't get in between those two rats laughing at what she said. 

Congratulations buddy, Stacy kissed April's cheek as they hugged each other. We love you, Stacy exclaimed. 

I knew you would achieve this, I'm so proud of you. Stacy continued as she pat April's hair. 

I'll be waiting for you at the top as well, April exclaimed.

Perry continued to smile while watching the two girls dot on each other. She had a proud parent smile on her face. 

Soon Perry and Stacy left April's room as they need to start preparing for the event. 

April began to get her dress and accessories ready. As the hair stylist and makeup artist already arrived on time as they were to doll up three women. Liam was the only one left out as he didn't have much to prepare. 

He already had a new haircut a day before, his suit and other accessories were ready. 

He already knew he'll have a headache today as the three women were yet to prepare, he sighed as he continued with his business. 

Alan Gilbert was the only one missing as he already left very early in the morning for his daily business. He doesn't even know about April's art gallery opening. Well, he's about to get the shocking of his life. 

Perry, Stacy and April were already dolled up. As it only an hour to the time of event. Liam is ready as well. We all know how men are fast with dressing unlike women, Liam had to wait for three hours.

Stacy is dressed in a royal blue knee length slim fitted gown designed with white feathers by the wrist of both hands, paired with silver earrings and black crystal bow heels. Her hair was styled in a messy bun. She has a silver pearl brooch on the left side of her chest. 

April is dressed in a navy blue short suit gown designed with silver organza flower with pearls by the left side of her chest and by the right side of her hip. The dress is paired with dropping pearl earrings and grey heels. As her hair is styled In an elegant messy layered ponytail.
