Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 58

I had my hands over my mouth and I was unable to move, I was glued to the ground and my mouth was slightly ajared from under my hands, but I couldn't speak

"Courtney say something" Gloria whispered

No.freaking.way

No freaking way!

"Oh my...oh my God" I managed so say, gulping down a bit "oh wow...this is...I mean...oh my God!"

There was a grin on Morgan's face while Gloria and Daniel chuckled slightly

"I kind of heard you're a huge fan" she said

"I'm a super huge fan! I love everything about you Miss Brandon..."

"Oh come on, Morgan's just fine"

Holy shit Morgan Brandon's in my house!

"Please please sit down" I gestured

"Thank you" she haves her seat before everyone else, including me finally seat

"So Courtney, I've heard a lot about you actually"

"Really!..." I clear my throat "I mean wow, I hope good things" God I need to stop asking like a teenager

"Yes, good things. If I'm being honest, I first heard about you from Gloria when she told me you made her wedding dress"

I nod, trying to hold back all the excitement inside of me

"I really liked the dress, I mean the design was wonderful. Is it yours originally?"

"Yes it is. It was one of the sketches I made when I was trying to come up with an idea for her dress"

She nods "that's good. Although I didn't really pay much attention to your name after that, I'm sorry"

"Oh no worries"

"But then...two days ago at my fashion show, I saw an outfit that totally caught my attention... Brittany's dress"

I couldn't help the grin that grew on my face

"She said you made it, Gloria said you made it, even Chloe's jumpsuit, did you really make them?"

I nod "I did"

"And they're your original design?"

I nod again "I sketch out my outfits"

"Really?" She looked at me carefully and I just nod

"That's wonderful. Everything about Brie's dress was...I don't know. I just love the hand work, and what you did with those stones"

I could literally die right now "thank you so much"

"And what's funny is that, Gloria said you never went to a tailoring school"

I shake my head "wasn't able to" or rather couldn't afford to spend money on that when there were other things to be taken care of

She just watches me carefully

"So" she spoke again "I haven't made it pubic yet but, Angela no longer works for MFE"

I frown my brows "excuse me? Why? She's an amazing fashion designers"

"Yes she is but she had to move because she's about to get married, I can't stop her so I just have Clinton now"

I pout, what a shame. She was really good, and beautiful too

"So have you found like a replacement yet?"

She hums a bit "not quite"

I didn't say anything because I felt she still wanted to speak

"I'll be in LA for a week, I have a very important project I'm handling here, um I'm planning on building a boutique where only MFE's outfits will be sold now"

I raised my brows "are you serious? Anyone would kill to buy outfits there"

She smiles "I know, but the project is still on a working phase, so for now I'll be here to speak with the engineer in charge and um.." she looks at Gloria who had a grin on her face

Before she says anything again, she hands me a plastic bag

I took in with so much curiosity in me and I opened it

"Fabric?"

"Yes. I did a lot of thinking and through a lot of convincing from Gloria, I decided that I want to give you a chance to prove yourself"

I blink at her "wait prove myself for what?"

"I'm on a search for MFE's next fashion designer, to replace Angela of course, I'm giving you exactly 5days to make..listen carefully, I want you to make a run way worthy outfit"

I could feel my heartbeat picking up pace

"If in the next 5days you can make an outfit worth being in a runway show, you'll be MFE's newest designer"

"Oh my God!" I didn't even realized when I screamed

I quickly covered my mouth with my hand

"Miss...I mean Morgan...are you..are you being serious?"

"Of course, I want only the best, but nobody's perfect, so at the stage you are, if you can make that outfit, and I approve...then we're good to go"

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" I kept repeating as I rocked back and forth on the couch

"Yes so put in all the effort you can Courtney" she picks up her bag and gets up

"I will, I swear I will"

She nods "good. I'll be leaving now, see you in five days" she walks to Gloria

"I'll see you later darling I have to run now" she said

"No problem, thank you so much for everything" Gloria said to her

She smiled "not a problem. Bye Daniel" and with that she walks out the door

I could literally scream my lungs out right now, but I couldn't even speak

This cannot be a dream, I refuse to allow this be a dream

"This actually just happened right? Like Morgan Brandon just walked out of here right?"

"Yes Courtney she did" Daniel chuckles

"Gloria I swear I love you so much" I walked up to her and pulled her into a hug

"Awwn, same here sweetie"

"Thank you so so much, you have no idea what you just did for me"

She pulls away slightly

"I only told her about you, as she said, she forgot about you until she saw the dress you made. Your talent spoke for you"

I didn't know I was crying until I started sniffing

"I really don't know why I'm so emotional lately" I laughed as I cleaned my tears

She smiled and helped me out "you're a whole lot more than you give yourself credit for, so do everything in your power to get that job offer, alright?"

"I will, I promise"
