35 Visitors (1/2)

I have requested my father that I will start working at the company after the new year. For now I am focusing on my Christmas collection. Christmas is just a month away and this will be the time I'm going to be super busy.

I was busy working in my studio. I have finished my sketches and will start with cutting fabric. I have colleagues working with me in this stage of my work. For now 5 people are here in my studio helping me with my work.

'Knock, knock.'

”Yes, come in.” I said while cutting one of the fabrics.

”Queenie, someone is here to visit you.” Andrea said.

I look at her. ”Is it someone important? Because if not you can tell them to come back at another time.” I said. I was so busy that I can't entertain anyone if it's not important.

”It's Ms. Julia Williams.” Andrea said.

”Ohhhh.” I said with a smile. ”I'll be right there.”

I look at the time and it's just time for a break.

”Guys let's take a short break.” I said to my colleagues.

They smile and left the studio. I left last and closed the door. I didn't notice that I didn't completely close it.

I walked to the living room which is just near my studio. I saw Julia sitting drinking tea. She was wearing casual clothes. White long sleeved blouse and tight jeans.

”Good afternoon Julia.” I greeted her.

”Oh Queenie. Sorry for coming unannounced.” Julia smiled. ”I hope I'm not disturbing your work.”

'If I know better you really came here to disturb my work.' I thought. ”It okay. It's my break time so I can have a chat with you.” I said.

I take a cup from the center table and poured some tea. I take a sip slowly. Julia was looking at me and wore a fake smile. I can see her hand tightly gripping her cup.

'Why is she still looking this good even after having a busy day?' Julia was thinking.

”What brings you here.” I give her a warm smile.

”Well I was just wondering how you're doing.” Julia said. ”You haven't visited us in our home. Aren't you thinking of living with us again?” Julia asked.

'So you want me to live there again? You want me to be under you and your mother's hands again and can do what you want.' I thought. But it was my father that advised me not to live there. I am thinking maybe my father has caught on to this two.

”I am not yet sure about that.” I said. ”I am still adjusting to the life knowing I am Jill and my life as Queenie.”

”All the more you need to live with us.” Julia said. She was suggesting it strongly. But I won't let them get their way.

”I am sorry Julia but I also have my own house to live in as well. I have another family that I am comfortable to be with.” I said and smiled sweetly. I can see Julia clenched her fists but composed herself in no time.

”Is that so? But promise me to visit us often.” Julia said.

”Yes of course. Once I start working at the company I am sure to see you often.” I said. I know Julia was also working at the clothing section of our business as one of the managers.
