Amyra day started with headache and she knew it will definitely end with one.When her sisters manager call came in she knew the day couldn't end well but what was she to do, reject the call,that is definitely not possible.She made a promise to her mother to always support her sisters no matter what and she has upholded the promise since she died.
She stood up from her bed and dragged herself to the bathroom to perform her daily routine although she rushed it this time around so as not to be late.Twenty minutes later she came out of the bathroom and quickly picked a blue jean and pink t-shirt which she finds very comfy,she paired it with a black sandal June gave her as a birthday gift.
She came out of her house few minutes later chomping on an apple
"Good morning Tanya"she called out to her neighbour who came out to throw out her garbage.
"A lovely morning to you too,I thought you were going to be sleeping in with the fever you had yesterday"she asked confusingly
"I have some things to round up at Lisa's place"
"Oh,so you are coming back to rest after right?"Tanya asked in a not so asking manner.
Amyra twisted the edge of her clothes,she knew the older woman was looking out for her because she was the one who took care of her yesterday night when she came down with a fever and none of her sisters could come over to her place,but she really had to deliver the clothes she was holding to Lisa because she has a shoot for an advert that morning.
"Tanya,I would really love to come back home instantly but as long as Lisa's manager sees me you know I won't have any other choice than to just go to the company,she is a great snitch and will definitely tell on me that I'm intentionally skipping work"She explained with a great sign.
Tanya moved closer to her and held her hand, being a mother of two teenagers has taught her a lot on how to handle some cases and she knew Amyra own was a very special one "Why don't you just tell your sister to come pick up this dress,you were doing some finishing on this dress when I came over yesterday despite not feeling well.You have to prioritize yourself at some point you know"she said and looked into her eyes to try and convince her
Amyra removed her hand begrudgingly and gave her a quick hug "I promise you I will take a break after lunch today "she raised her pinky up to stamp the promise
"What are you,a two year old "Tanya scrunched up her face but still accepted the pinky promise with a silly grin on both their faces
Amyra walked quickly to her car and got into the driver's seat but not before making sure the dress was neatly hanged at the back of the car.She drove out of her driveway while waving to Tanya.
The drive was a very slow one because she was trying to take precautions since she still felt a little bit fuzzy,a lot was going through her mind at the moment and she could not risk getting into an accident.
Amyra works as a designer in a regular fashion company although she graduated at the top of her class in one of the best fashion school in the country,she had her reason some of which involves her sisters,she knew the act was a very gullible one but she still went ahead and rejected a proposal from Vida fashion house which was the third best fashion company in the country.
She had to accept the offer from her current work place because Lisa was also offered a model job there and she wanted to wear her sister piece as one of her first outfit.She wore Amyra's first design and shot to glory because of the dress,Micah designs took the glory for her dress and refused to give her credit for it. They threatened her with uprooting their support for her sister in her modeling career which made her gave up the creators credit even when the dress won the fourth position for the best clothes of the year.
Beep beep beep.
The ringing of her phone brought her back from her thought it was Lisa's manager
"Hey Julie,I'm already here I just have to find somewhere to park my car"
"Do you want to ruin today for your sister?" "You knew that dress was the only option today because we told them not to prepare any dress for her,just tell us if you don't want to make it for her" She sneered into the phone in a mocking manner.
"You know I definitely want to make this dress for her,I was not able to send it over yesterday because it still had some finishing touch I had to put on it,I will always try to make the best for my sister"Amyra replied her .
"I'm getting down from the car now,I should be there in the next five minutes " she quickly ended the call and proceeded to get out of the car while opening the back seat door at the same time.
She brought out the dress bag and locked her door.She felt dizzy all of a sudden and held the car door to stabilize herself.She massaged her head and stood up straight
"You've got this Amyra,you just have to dress her up and go to your office to take a rest"She console herself and walked up to Lisa's apartment,she rang the doorbell and wait for them to open the door.
Her sister opened the door and gave her a quick hug "You are late but I forgive you" Lisa complain with a pouty expression.
"I'm sorry,I woke up late because of the fever drug I took yesterday"
"Ohhh,i'm sorry I couldn't come to take care of you,I was busy throughout yesterday I couldn't even sleep a wink,I wish I could have come over"She apologize with a sincere look
"It's okay,I feel better now"she quickly have her a quick hug and entered into the living room.
Lisa's apartment was a very spacious one,it was given to her as a gift by her company which was a subsidiary of Micah designs.They regarded Lisa as one of their fresh models an are trying to give more resources to her since she has one of the fastest growing fan base among the fast rising models.
The living room is in a shade of pastel and rose color. The sofas are in a shade of pastel and faced an 18 inches flat screen TV,the right side of the living room is a floor to ceiling windows which made the living room lighten up. The whole apartment looks breathtaking which was to be expected since it is owned by the Winston's Real estate and designed by the international award winning Interior designer Oprah who was monopolized by the Winston's Real estate immediately after she won the award.
"If anything disrupts Lisa's schedule I will hold you up to it"Julie's angry voice brought her back to reality as she walked towards her with fury evident on her face.
"Julie stop,you can't talk to my sister like that"Lisa cautioned her in her soft voice
"She took her time to make this dress despite always working late,we should appreciate her effort"
Julie rolled her eyes at her remark "you are too nice for her" she collected the bag from Amyra and hissed at her while walking towards the room.
"Sis,am sorry on her behalf,she has just been angry because the director shouted at her this morning for not making sure am already at the studio"
She gave her a very smile "It's okay,I understand it is not your fault,I just think Julie has issues with me or something"
Lisa gave a soft laugh "Julie has issues with everyone "she said to lighten the mood
Amyra took her hand and led her into the room to change her dress
"Let's go dress you up so as not to waste your time "
