Gisele too woke up later that day. Probably because she had a good night sleep, she wasn't even up till the later hours of the afternoon.
The was barely anything to do. Most of her works were scheduled for next week and the first week of the next month so she barely had anything to do. Still she took her bath and after a sumptuous meal, she left the house.
First she took a cab straight to the studio she had hired to produce her designs. The Fashion week was in two weeks, she wasn't nervous about it but it was best to limit the possibility of any mistake. It was best she checked if the production was going fine.
"Ahh Miss Gisele do come in." The director of the studio invited her in cheerfully. The eyes of the stubble man looked at her like he was looking at a gold mine.
Gisele ignored his looks as she asked "how is the production coming along?"
"It's very fine. Everything is good. It's half way done, some of the materials you picked are quite rare so it'll take a while to acquire them nevertheless the production should be done by the end of next week" He explained a little bit too courteously. The fawning tone laced in his voice was completely undisguised.
Gisele nodded contentedly "can I see it?"
"Sure sure, this way Miss" He stretched forth his hand and led her away. The both of them got into the elevator and then the man pressed the button of the last floor.
"Like you requested the production is being treated like a top secret. Our most reliable worker was made to attend to it" the man explained then added "I must say miss. These designs are works of art."
"Thank you" She replied to the compliment politely. She understood what he meant, even she felt reluctant to release them to at the fashion show but for an ultimate goal like joining GXJ she surely had to give out her little beauties.
When she got to the room, her sights fell on the Two dresses worn on the headless mannequins and her heart almost stopped.
Gorgeous!
She had clearly underrated her own skills. The two piece of clothes were not complete yet as there was still a lot to do on them yet they seemed to light of the whole room with an angelic kind of beauty. Each theme they represented stood out individually, there was no need to argue as they wordlessly told you what they were meant to represent. They were beautiful. If GXJ doesn't personally sends her an invite after seeing this then there was something wrong with their eyes.
She nodded satisfied. This was worth the few millions she had spent of them.
"There one left" she couldn't help but notice.
The man showed a clever smile and then walked to a part of the room. "I couldn't be rest assured that it wouldn't suddenly go missing so I kept it in a secured safe. Don't blame me, it was just too dazzling" He placed his hands on a palm reader and a secret door opened at the other side of the room.
A fiery red dress immediately came into her sight.
The dress was slim from the neckline to a few centimeters below the butt of the mannequin, then it fell freely with a long terrain at the back. Smooth red feathers seemed to have been majestically arranged from the top of the dress to the very last edge and a slit ran from the left mid thigh all the way to the ground. Numerous small diamonds were imbedded on every feather, they might not be the real deal but under the room luminous light, the dress was shining like a chandelier. At the tail end, the feathers took a different colours, a very bright shade of red like something being burnt in fire, there were even several looping burnt marks at the tail of the gown. They didn't look out of place, rather it gave it a more majestic look, this dress gave off the vibe of a phoenix standing at the peak of a mountain, like it had eyes, it cast a condescending look on everyone who looked up at it. If the other two were beautiful then this was simply breathtaking.
Nirvana begining — she had chosen the right name for it.
"I completed it myself. Every part was hand stitched" The director boasted when he saw the girl's stunned face.
"It's beautiful" She commented really satisfied. Even more satisfied than when she had seen the other two. When she drew these, she had been worried that it wouldn't carry the same feeling after it was produce. But it did. Only one poem came to mind.
'The end is the beginning, the beginning is the end. By blazing fires the end begins what has ended'
The man rubbed his hands and asked "if I may ask do you intend to join the Autumn Fashion week?"
Gisele nodded.
"sigh It would be greedy pleading for you to sign under my studios name but can you give us credit for the production? I feel like the fashion industry is about to shake. What a delight if people knew that the wonders started from my studio"
Since she had no problems doing that, she agreed. There was nothing else, so she left after a few words with the director.
Ring—
Her phone rang just as she stepped out of the building.
"Hello Mr Williams" She greeted earnestly.
"Gisele, we moved the fitting up to today. Can you come over?"
"sure." She looked at the time and calculated how long it would take her to reach that side of the city. "I'll be there soon"
The sun was at the center of the sky, everybody was already out of their houses by now and commuting to diverse locations. Gisele too had not brought her car out too so she had to take a cab. The traffic was extremely bad this afternoon so it took two hours before she could finally arrive at the studio.
"Sorry I'm late" She apologized as she walked into the studio.
The place was parked with numbers of actors and actresses. The costume director seemed to be running here and there trying to see everyone tired their outfits on and made notes on the adjustments to make.
"Gisele!" Mr Williams waved her over to where he was standing with the producer.
"Sorry I'm late. I got held by traffic" she explained
The man waved his hands dismissively "it's okay child, this is producer Leon, Say hello"
"Hello Producer Leon, It's nice to meet you, please take care of me in future" The girl's polite tone and obedient manner made the two men satisfied.
On top being Satisfied, Producer Leon was astonished by her appearance. She looked very beautiful but didn't carry a haughty air neither was she dressed exorbitantly. A deep blue long skirt hugged her stomach, down to her knees, it perfectly accentuated her curvy hips. Her long fair legs appear more beautiful when paired with that shade of blue. A simple flowery top too was placed on the top part, it was a bit free so it did not glue to her chest like the skirt did. The tail end was nearly tuced into the band of her skirt, given a very professional aura. Her long hair was parked into a ponytail, a few strands scattered on her forehead l, almost sticking to her small oval face from the tiny bits of sweat on her forehead. Beautiful eyes, small straight nose and a sweet heart shape lip glistening in a clear coloured lipgloss, making them look very lustrous.
She was beautiful beyond description.
"So this is why you could strongly reject Olivia fore the female lead role. I must say Williams, you surprised me yet again. She's a walking representation of your muse" The producer commented with a delightful expression. He was genuinely happy for his friend who was shooting hiss favourite movie after so many years and that too with the actress of his desires.
"Did you make her walk out from the script?" Producer Leon Joked.
"What nonsense!" Mr Williams sounded angry but his proud look was brimming into their eyes. He added "She practically fell from the sky"
Producer Leon laughed while Gisele could only smile awkwardly.
"Don't listen to his nonsense anymore Gisele, go get your fitting done"
"okay Mr Williams, Producer Leon, I'll get going" Since the two men were willing to let her off, she greeted one last time and walked towards the dressing room.
Looking at her retreating figure, the smile on producer Leon's face disappeared and a questioning look overtook it "She looks so much like he, Do you think it's her child?"
Mr Williams shook his head with a solemn look on his face "it can't be... there was not enough time"
Gisele was meters away from the two men so she could not have heard their discussion. Even if she did, she would not have been as much suspicious as the two men were, about her striking resemblance to that girl.
That girl__ Elena.
