A fraud

Two days flew by rapidly.

Gisele spent these two days trying to come up with ideas on how to portray the concepts without being direct. She did came up with a few idea but they weren't plausible so she ended up ruling them out. There were just five more days left for the one week deadline to run out. With the days rolling she felt more and more tensed.

"You still haven't come up with a better idea miss?" Aunty Lou asked as she poured a cup of tea for the moping lady.

Gisele nodded "Nothing I think of seems to be appropriate. At this rate I might just end up failing this stage"

She was a little bit downcast. She didn't expect it to come easy but this was even more harder than she expected. Was representing a few concepts really supposed to be this hard?

"Miss don't speak like that. Maybe you're finding it hard because you are approaching it from a difficult angle. I'm not experienced in things like this but if I were miss I would see these concepts like themes of a movie script. The only difference is you have to portray them without saying words. You whole body would be the words. The best way to learn how to do that is by probably learning from people that had really lived this life or experienced it"

Gisele listened to the woman attentively, her words were not only true but she had taught her something she didn't know, it was strange for someone who wasn't in the line of business to be able to tackle it from a professional point of view. One could only agree, Wisdom really came with age.

"Thanks aunty Lou, you have really helped me solved my tension. Thanks to your words I know just what to do" She thanked Aunty Lou gratefully.

"No problem miss, I only give a few pointers"

"now that I have to learn from others, would you mind being my first teacher?" She asked the woman.

Aunty Lou agreed and so Gisele started her questions. Aunty Lou would have no answer to questions partaining to the second till the last Concepts but she was a mother so she definitely would know what the feeling, thoughts and expression of a first time mother was.

The Woman narrated and Gisele took down notes like a fervent student. She didn't need to listen for long before she got an image out of Aunty Lou's explanation but still she waited till the whole narration was done before asking her questions. Aunty Lou answered each of her questions with a smile. It was like she was educating her own daughter.

"Have I been of any help miss today?" She asked when they were both done with everything.

Gisele nodded her head "Yes Aunty Lou, with your help I have been able to come up with a solid idea. You truly have been helpful to me today"

"That's good. I should take my leave and let miss continued with her work." She bowed and left Gisele to herself.

Looking at the rough sketch for Concept 1, Gisele was satisfied. It was perfect. Now that she was done with one, she was left to deal with the four more. It was impossible that she would meet anyone who had experienced being a Banished Consort so the only way she could learn about that was through the internet. There sure would be video, pictures and scenes from books to help her come up with her idea.

It was a good thing she had no where to go to, she could spend the whole day sorting through numerous videos and pictures.

The day was going to be a long one so she ordered a few snack and drink and then locked herself into the room. One video after the other, one book after the other, she stayed till it was dark then she finally came up with an idea, the idea was gotten after she had put herself in their shoes and tried thinking from all their perspective.

She began sketching down the idea. By the time she was done Aunty Lou had come to call her for dinner.

Walking down the stairs, she busied herself with browsing through her phone. These two days she had spent her time strategizing for the Concepts that she did not even have the time to follow the news on the internet. The internet was bubbly as always. There was one Celebrity or the other that was been dragged for one scandal or the other.

#is Linda really a fraud?.

#ExposedorAccused?

These were the Trending topics on the internet.

Gisele frowned when she saw the hashtag. Who didn't know Linda Flaw. One of the most famous designers in Axilla. She was not only known in the country but her works were also a big sale in the international market. As famous as she was, she was down to earth and insisted on staying in Axilla despite numerous attempt to poach her to other Fashion Companies abroad.

Everyone loved Her designs. She was an individual that could rival with Large Companies like GXJ and other design Companies. Even Gisele had known her name right from her little town in the countryside.

Her uncle would always say 'One day you might be like Linda Flaw'.

Contrary to her surname, she was a Flawless designer.

So how was she now being tagged as a fraud?

Gisele adeptly read through the blog post online as she made her way down the stairs.

Hearing the sounds of rubber hitting against the ceramic tiles, Devon lifted his eyes and looked at the figure graciously making her way down the stairs. Her phone placed in front of her face obstructing his view to some extent still it had no capability in hidding her beauty. The girl was a beauty, even at such a young age it would be impossible for any of these celebrities to rival her beauty.

His eyes lingered on her face for just a few seconds then he looked back down to the plate of food in front of him. At the same time, Gisele made her way to the dinning, out of habit the servants helped draw her chair and she took her seat.

While her food was being dished for her. Her whole attention was still on the phone with a deep frown on her face.

It made no sense.

The blog post she was reading about Linda Flaw's scandal made no sense. How was it that such an international level Designer would stoop low as plagiarizing a medium level Designer.

Linda Flaw had announced she was going to release her new design Two days ago, at the same time VLOC, a National level design company had also made a press conference on the new design release. Their release was also scheduled for Two days ago. On the day of the press conference, VLOC had theirs early, just an hour before Linda. It turned out that when she finally released her design it was called out to be a plagiarized version of VLOC's design.

The issue had only escalated these past two days that it was amongst the top search. Netizens were dragging the designer, VLOC's designer was also threatening to sue Linda. Everything was really not in favour of the young female designer. Numerous comments flooded the internet non-stop with hateful words and degrading statements. People who once praised and adored the lady didn't look back now while lashing hateful comments at her.

Gisele frowned displeased.

Humans were really fickle minded creatures. No ounce of loyalty and definitely no sense of reasoning. She couldn't tell how but she was sure VLOC had played a dubious gamble on the female designer's reputation. If not why and how on Earth would Linda Flaw plagiarize their design.

It was really pitiful to see the lady left with no way to clear her name.

Gisele sighed and dropped the phone then she began eating her dinner. Her eyes gently floated in between her food and the ice cold man seated in front of her. It has been two days now and she hadn't really gotten a glance at him. Not that she really wanted to. He looked the same. Handsome, Cold and devoid of humane emotions.

How does he manage keeping that lifeless face all day long?

She averted her eyes and continued her food.

The two people standing at the side sent themselves secret side glances. They had just watched these two people check themselves out momentarily. It might have been for a few seconds but still it meant something, especially for their boss. That he had even spared her a one minute glance was worth celebrating.

If they could just make his gaze linger on her for a long time, it would be a dream come true.

Devon had no idea this was what his Butler and Head maid were thinking of and so did Gisele. She was seriously munching on her food with her mind going through the unsolved Concept.

Just as she was done eating, her phone suddenly began ringing. She looked at the unknown number and a frown appeared on her face.

Just who is it again?
