CHAPTER 16

Finally and most importantly, she had a feeling she was forgetting something, but she didn't know what it was, she glanced at the wall clock and looked again.

" Oh no, no no! "

She exclaimed repeatedly in Surprise, shaking her head in fear and disbelief.

It was thirty minutes past eight.

She was supposed to resume work at exactly seven AM. She was an hour and some minutes late for work. Now if she doesn't hurry up she will be more late.

"How could I have been so reckless?"

Julia said, criticising herself as she hurriedly wore her dress and boots. She took her phone and kept it in her purse.

With the purse under her arm, she glanced at a small mirror on the wall, looking at her scattered hair, she hurriedly packed it up, into a loose head bun, it still looked rough, she ignored it.

All she wanted to do now was to get out of this fancy hotel room and go straight to her apartment so she can wear something presentable before going to the office.

Julia took one glance at the hotel room, wondering if she was in javino's room, she remembered wondering if the door was locked, then she reached for the door Knob, she was in a haste and she didn't care what she looked like, she probably looked like a cheap hooker dressed for an event.

"Me and my crazy, stupid, goals, one night stand was a total bad idea.

What was I thinking?"

She mentally scolded herself as she held the door knob trying to open the door in a hurry. She was about to leave the room. But halted in Surprise when she saw someone.

" Bonjour Madmoselle. "

A tall, slim, french man dressed in vintage suit, with blonde hair, hazel eyes and a broad smile on his face greeted her. He had a tray of french meal and dessert in his hands. And he looked like the French version of santa Claus.

Julia freaked out at the sound of his loud voice. But she managed to return his greeting.

"Bonjour Monseur, but I don't speak French."

She said plainly. With an awkward smile on her face, she looked at the middle aged man wondering who he was and why he was standing before her like he had been waiting for her to come out.

" My apologies, Madame, I see that you are ready to leave but I have here with me something delicious for you to eat. I was instructed by Mr Almanza to cook and serve you Petit dejeuner, So Bon appetite."

The French man said with a polite smile, handing her the tray.

Julia looked at the French man standing before her with a creepy smile on his face.

"Thank you, but I don't have time for this."

She turned down his offer, she was about to walk away, but the French man moved along in the same direction with her, thereby blocking her way.

" Since you are in a hurry, I suggest you go and meet the driver who has been hired by Sir Javino to drive you wherever you want to go, he's downstairs waiting for you. "

He suggested.

"That won't be necessary, I'm already late for work, thanks, but I don't trust your boss."

She said impatiently as she dashed off, leaving the French guy behind. He stood staring at her like she were a mysterious creature he had never seen before. Julia's phone began to ring but she didn't have time to answer it so she ignored it.

Julia halted when she realized she didn't know where she was going to. She didn't know the way downstairs. She turned around to see the French man who stood, still staring at her,

he sighed and shook his head thoughtfully, then he pointed to an opposite direction where an elevator door stood.

"I believe there, is how you get out of here, the third floor is the exit floor, that's the way miss."

He informed her.

" Thanks. "

Julia said without looking at him and walking towards the elevator, she entered it and arrived at the third floor.

She hastened her steps and walked out of the hotel building.

Her golden job was on the line, she needed to come up with a really good story to make up for her stupid mistake.

On her first day of resumption, she is super late. Miss Linda won't believe this, more so she won't forgive it.

The fashion meeting was to start by nine am. She looked at her watch, it was nine o'clock, She was going to be the new director of Lorenzo designs and she is going to resume late, this will not tell good of her.

It would leave a bad impression, for the fact that she had been promoted and is adored by her boss and other employees except Nadia, the mean girl who is Jealous of her. Because of her beauty and creativity Julia is hated by Nadia.

Julia is seen as a perfect employee, by almost everyone in the fashion house and this would be her first time coming late to work, She would be pardoned by her boss, she was sure.

After all Linda Lorenzo and other fashion designers in the fashion house see her as an assest to their firm.

She halted at the sidewalk and stopped a taxi, she entered the car and described to the man, the address of her apartment.
