Abigail pov

"Do you want to invite your mother, Bella?" though we were writing invitation letters. All of them were from Amayra, not us. 

Not a single message indicated that we were anywhere connected to the show. Only Lady Sharron and Lady Amayra's names were written on the card and the name "rose collection." though we have decided that the creator of the collection will always be Isabella and oliver. We all agreed that it was not the right time to disclose it.

So, for now the creator wanted to keep his identity closed would be announced.

"No, she would be suspicious if she saw my nervous and excited face and the jewels. It would hardly take her few minutes to understand everything.

I sighed as I looked at her anxious face.

"Bella, your mother loves you too much. She would be happy if she knew that you are putting in so much effort and have your own identity in the empire." Although I tried to convince her, she still shook her head in denial.

"Once I would be sure that I could start a big jewelry store only then I would tell my mother or others. For now, all I want is a good earning.`` I was sure that the jewels would be sold at a good price as they were all the famous designs of the past. But I kept my silence.

They were already too suspicious over my actions and my confidence. It was only good for them if they did not know too much.

"Abi?"

"Yes, Bella" there was hesitation in her voice but her eyes were filled with curiosity as she called my name. And I already had an idea of what she wanted to ask me.

"Is that boutique yours too!" though she was asking, the words came out more like a statement.

"Yes, I started it on a whim. A designer couple with a good talent were jobless, so I decided to grow their talent. You would love to meet them, and if you like any design, you can always take any dress from there." she smiled as i assured her and we all moved towards the store.

"Isn't it the small house father gifted you on your last birthday when you often did not have dinner with us." 

I nodded with an embarrassed face. I often come home late and complain that I was tired from the shopping so I did not have the energy to come and have dinner. So, my father gave me a house to rest whenever I come to this part of town to do shopping. I wonder how worried he was for me at that time. And here I thought that he gifted me the house, so that I would stay further away from them.

"Yes, it has been empty since then. So, why waste it in another place? Only our family knows that it is our property. So, it is fine for now until we earn a lot." I knocked at the door and it took a few seconds to open.

A young girl whom i have never seen before opened the door.

"The door was locked my lady because we have closed business for today. I request you to come tomorrow." she bowed her head as she requested us.

"But.." I raised my hand to stop Bella from speaking further. 

"Oh, but we have come from afar. And how can you just close the business on a working day?" my tone was sharp and menacing and the girl felt at loss of words.

"The owner of the shop had a meeting with a big trader. Therefore, the shop would stay closed today. I apologize again for your trouble. But I can not let you enter." she bowed but her grip on the door tightened.

"How imprudent. Just look at the way you are behaving. Your shop is still new. It does not even have a proper display. Yet you are so proud. Your business will not work at all." my voice turned fiercer and the girl flinched. 

She knew the results of making a noble angry, yet she still covered the door.

"I will help you in getting a discount , my lady, if you come tomorrow. And I will also show you our exclusive designs. But I beg you to not pressure me to come today as it is not in my hands." she added again, she did not react even a bit when i behave this harshly. I nodded in appreciation.

"That would not be needed." she sighed, hearing my reply.

"Then I hope we will get a chance to serve you in future. It was nice meeting you my lady." i knew she did not like me a bit yet she smiled and bowed as if we had a pleasant meeting. I was impressed by her maturity even when she was this young.

"I mean, we are the traders for which your masters were waiting." she finally frowned hearing my words and I chuckled.

"And here I thought that you would maintain that professional smile for more time." she blushed after hearing my reply.

"What is taking you so long, Elie?" came the voice from inside.

"Master, there is a lady talking, you were waiting for her!." replied the young girl still holding the door.

"Oh, wait a minute." Stephan came running towards the door.

"Oh, I was not expecting you this early, my lady. Daisy just went out to bring more clothes from home. Come in, my lady. Elie remove your hands from the door." he looked at the young girl with a frown who immediately let the door go and looked at us apologetically.

"As you have written in the letter. I have arranged everything.

if you tell me who is going to wear them. I will adjust the measurements too." I nodded as I entered his personal office. 

I have looked at the whole place. It was decorated with clothes and the place looked cozy.
