The Blind One

Chapter 49

"Why don't you change the material" I asked Hamda a young designer who was currently stuck in a predicament.

She was still frozen, staring at her drawing and trying to figure out how to make things work.

"It's a little different, I mean the material does affect the appearance of the garment on different body types" she sighed and chewed her fake nail, a habit she needed to get out of doing

"let's go with the silk. This way the gown will be fit for any plus sized women aswell"

I nodded and wrote down the notes of what she needed. To be honest, Hamda was a genius when it came to lingerie and night clothes, she thinks about all body shapes and sizes, comfort and most of all it has to be sexy.

I'm not the type to wear fancy undergarments but recently, Hamda has forced me to do so, and I must say I'm seeing my body in a completely different way.

"Don't worry, you'll be the first to get a sample piece" she winked when she saw my expression. I rolled my eyes and finished up my notes before walking closer to her desk and flicking through the portfolio of designs.

When you've been part of a company for so long, you begin to recognise everything.

"Wow this was the first design for last season's collection" I grinned realising that it was because the design showed the most comfortable looking pants if ever worn.

"Midnight Lace" Hamda grinned at her cheesy name

"I'm still surprised they let you use that terrible name" I snorted watching her expression.

"Oh Elizabeth, you're just jealous  because you're too shy to show the big boss your designs...and I...well I've made it" she always exaggerated things.

"I'm an assistant, I can't be a designer"  I sighed and pushed myself up to grab my folder and head back to my office.

"Hey"

I turned back to her calling voice

"Killer outfit today" she winked and turned back to her work

This girl needed to stop flirting all the time.

"Wait until I tell GiGi that you're cheating on her with me" I threatened  and laughed when she whipped we head in my direction.

"You wouldn't!"

I laughed at her and shook my head "see you later Ham"

As I walked away I could hear her shouting something like "just because I'm female, you label me as food?"

I walked back to my desk and settled down in my seat. I flipped through the folders on my desk and pulled out the sheet with all he numbers on it before dialling the number that I wanted.

"Hello?"

"Max" I spoke up whilst looking at the paper of notes

"That's me"

I smiled and continued tell him the changes for all the designers "and Hamda specifically asked for silk so set her up first before giving it to anyone else" I lied

"You're always particular about her because you think she's your friend" max grumbled on the other line.

I grinned "actually...if you must know, we're a secret couple. Just don't tell GiGi "

I felt like bursting out laughing because I knew GiGi would be somewhere in that room, or even worse, se could be listening into the call

"Gigi I swear I didn't know!" I heard max shout in the background following a thud and a sharp intake. We all knew Gigi was crazy, and very very protective of whoever she was with. Although Hamda was quirky  and joked around, and Gigi was the opposite of her with her serious fashion orientated mind set and her eyes being constantly set on the prize; which is why she did so well in the company, she seemed to have a soft spot for women with a sense of humor.
