“You deserve better…”
“But in my eyes, you’re the best.” Sampson stopped walking, holding her shoulder tighter together, facing her, “I like you, not just as siblings, but as man and woman.”
Loredana didn’t know what to reply.
“I…”
“Shush.” His body came closer, feeling his warm breath at this distance, she froze entirely.
Loredana was also an adult; she knew what Sampson was doing.
Just when lips were about to meet each other, Loredana turned over his face, planting a kiss on her cheeks. He wasn’t mad, though, “Alright, let’s try if you’re allergic to this first, next time we’ll try lips.”
Loredana, “…”
“Sampson——” She wanted to explain they really weren’t possible.
“We’re not related.” Sampson interrupted, he wasn’t young, and he really didn’t want to wait.
Loredana lowered his head, “I have work tomorrow, I’m going back.”
“Okay.”
She went back to her house and saw Maxina busy cleaning the kitchen. Maxina knew it was Loredana and said, “The kids aren’t letting me bathe them, you got time?”
“Yea, I’ll do it.” She went into the bathroom to prepare hot water for the kids.
Simona pointed at the pink bottle of body wash, “Mommy, I want to shower.”
She stood in the bathtub naked, splashing the water around.
Loredana pointed at her, “Stop moving or you’ll get no shampoo.”
Simona pouted, looking unhappy.
Samuel was fine; she needed not much attention for him. Compared to Simona, Loredana’s clothes were all soaked, no thanks to bathing her.
She held her with a towel to the bed, gave her a pair of pink-colored elephant pajamas, and put them on her.
Simona started jumping on the bed.
Samuel couldn’t stand it and said lowly, “Quiet, please.”
His words were more compelling than his mother’s, as Simona crawled towards him, with her soft voice, “Brother.”
Loredana could only sigh lightly, looking at them, Simona only listens to her brother.
“Samuel, take care of your sister, I’m gonna go bath.”
“Okay, don’t worry, mommy.” Samuel patted his chest, assuring her, “I’ll take care of my sister.”
Loredana scratched her hair, took her clothes, and went to bath.
After bathing, she told them bedtime stories to put them to bed.
During the morning, Loredana was about to go to work after breakfast, Samuel came and said, “Mommy, can I follow you to work?”
“Huh?”
“Huh?” Loredana looked at him while changing her shoes. “You don’t have any class on weekend, aren’t you going to rest at home?”
Samuel replied solemnly, “Simona is at home too. I don’t think there’s time for me to rest.”
Loredana knew the fact that Simona was a clingy child.
She helped her son to put on his coat and brought him to her workplace.
Her son was very quiet, so he wouldn’t trouble her much.
If it were Simona, she definitely wouldn’t agree to bring her here.
That child was exactly what a normal child should behave in this age. Regarding her son, she didn’t know whether Samuel’s maturity was a good or bad thing.
She lifted her son up and kissed him on the cheek.
Samuel slightly blushed and said in a shy manner, “Mommy.”
Loredana smiled. Her son looked so cute when he was shy.
She picked Samuel up and placed him in the car. Then, she fastened his seatbelt.
When she arrived at LEO Corporation, Loredana parked her car. She hugged Samuel out of the car, held his arm and walked inside together.
“Ms. Flores, the guests who made an appointment with you last time has arrived.” said her assistant,
Theresa. “I’ve taken them to the reception room.”
The guests had already booked an appointment last month to customise a wedding gown.
Loredana designed several versions for her guests to select. She let Samuel to play by himself, “Don’t run around.”
“I know.” It wasn’t his first time here, so he was familiar with the surroundings. The staffs here liked him very much too.
“Make two cups of coffee and serve it to the guests.” Loredana checked on the designs again. There was no error, so she took the designs and walked to the reception room.
She pushed the door open. A couple was sitting on the leather sofa by the window. When she saw their faces, Loredana stiffened for a moment before her voice recovered. She had a pleasant smile on her face, as if she didn’t know them at all, “Hello.”
She calmly walked in with the designs.
Helen, no, it should be Maria now. Maria’s face suddenly turned pale. How could it be her?
She instinctively looked at the man sitting next to her.
Cormac gave a persistent stare at the woman who walked into the room.
After six years, she had already put everything down.
She just wanted to live a quiet life now. These people, had nothing to do with her.
Loredana walked towards the sofa and sat in front of them, as though she didn’t know them. She wore a black suit and elegantly crossed her legs. She put the designs on the table, and pushed it to Maria,
“These are the scheme designs, have a look at it.”
Maria could obviously feel the chills of the man beside him.
If she knew that Loredana was the famous designer, she would definitely not choose LEO Corporation.
She insisted to choose LEO Corporation back then, so she couldn’t go back on her words now.
She could only force herself to pick up the designs and flipped it open. Her hand trembled slightly.
Every design had its own unique characteristics, especially this gown named Initial. It was a pink coloured, strapless and wasp-waisted gown. The design was simple, but elegant.
She didn’t want to recognise Loredana’s design, but she really liked this gown.
Theresa came in with two cups of coffee. She bent down, and put the coffee in front of them. Loredana looked at her, “Theresa, could you bring the finished product of Initial here?”
“Okay.” Theresa took the serving tray and left the reception room. Soon, she came in with a model. The model was wearing the wedding gown called Initial.
This gown was even more breath-taking than it was in picture. The specially handled silk fabric of the gown gleamed, especially when light reflected on it. The strapless collar embodied the ideals of sexiness and elegance in women. This gown was wasp-waisted, accentuating the slimness of her waist. She looked modest and conservative in this gown.
There wouldn’t be a more suitable gown for her engagement than this one.
Maria stretched out her hand to feel the material of the gown. It was soft and smooth, and she felt comfortable just by touching the material.
“This gown is Ms. Flores award-winning work. There were a lot of people who wanted to buy this gown, but Ms. Flores was reluctant to sell it. You have such a good taste to have chosen this gown, since Ms.
Flores happen to have decided to sell it.” Theresa said proudly.
Cormac’s eyes were on Loredana’s face, while her gaze was on the gown. She looked at him once when she came in the reception room. Until now, she hadn’t taken a glance at him anymore.
She treated him like a stranger, as if she didn’t know him?
He was tight-lipped.
Maria raised her head. She was no longer the helpless orphan. Right now, she was the young lady of the Herbert family, so what if Loredana became a famous designer?
